Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23508: Add getdeploymentinfo RPC
a380922891 Release notes for getdeploymentinfo rpc (Anthony Towns)
240cad09ba rpc: getdeploymentinfo: include signalling info (Anthony Towns)
376c0c6dae rpc: getdeploymentinfo: include block hash/height (Anthony Towns)
a7469bcd35 rpc: getdeploymentinfo: change stats to always refer to current period (Anthony Towns)
7f15c1841b rpc: getdeploymentinfo: allow specifying a blockhash other than tip (Anthony Towns)
fd826130a0 rpc: move softfork info from getblockchaininfo to getdeploymentinfo (Anthony Towns)

Pull request description:

  The aim of this PR is to improve the ability to monitor soft fork status. It first moves the softfork section from getblockchaininfo into a new RPC named getdeploymentinfo, which is then also able to query the status of forks at an arbitrary block rather than only at the tip. In addition, bip9 status is changed to indicate the status of the given block, rather than just for the next block, and an additional field is included to indicate whether each block in the signalling period signaled.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
