The idea here is to preserve the history of `dev` branch development and its
code when merging with the `master`. Later this code could be moved into the
masters code where appropriate.
- refactored OnBlockBlockMode to use blockPool
- syncmgr now checks for future blocks, instead of looking for a
FutureBlockErr from the Chain. This makes it so that syncmgr does not
depend on the Chain package.
- removed GetBestBlockHash function from config(unused)
- refactored all tests in the syncmgr package
[peermgr]
- Add request cache with tests
- Add requestCache to peermgr
- refactored peer manager tests
- Added blockInfo struct, to allow sorting on the blockIndex
- added helper methods for cache, pickItem, pickFirstItem, removeHash,
findHash and refactored tests
- renamed requestcache to blockcache
- refactored peer manager to use block cache for block requests *only*
- added blockCallPeer function to handle block requests only
- refactored onDisconnect to add back any pending peer requests that the
disconnected peer did not complete into the peer manager queue
[peermgr/server]
- Modify onBlock handler in server, to send peermgr a BlockInfo struct
[peermgr/syncmgr/server]
- Modified blockIndex in BlockInfo to be uint32 and not uint64
- RequestBlocks in syncmgr now takes an index along with the hash
- modified syncmgr code to pass index along with hash in all methods
* [syncmgr]
- Add blockmode, normal mode, headermode
- Add config file
- Add test files
- removed RequestBlocks and RequestHeaders from peers, as we will use
the peermanager for this
- OnHeaders and OnBlock in syncmgr, now return errors
- refactored all tests to use a convenience method to return a syncmgr
and testHelper
