BeenPruned will return true if the database has ever been pruned. This
allows for accurate prune status to be reported as well as ux
improvements by disallowing the user to accidently remove or enable
indexes.
This change is part of the effort to add pruning support to btcd.
PruneBlocks will prune the earliest block files until it reaches the
given target size. The returned hashes are the hashes of the blocks
that were pruned.
The doc formatting changes introduced in the recent go version is
increasing the diff for all of the new commits. Formatting it all in
this commit will help the readability of future PRs by reducing the
diff.
In this commit, we update all the btcutil imports to point to the new
sub-module.
In the same commit, we also modify the recently added `btcutil/go.mod`
file as we need to continue pointing to the _old_ version of btcd, until
we merge this PR and push a new tag.
This is mostly a backport of some of the same modifications made in
Decred along with a few additional things cleaned up. In particular,
this updates the code to make use of the new chainhash package.
Also, since this required API changes anyways and the hash algorithm is
no longer tied specifically to SHA, all other functions throughout the
code base which had "Sha" in their name have been changed to Hash so
they are not incorrectly implying the hash algorithm.
The following is an overview of the changes:
- Remove the wire.ShaHash type
- Update all references to wire.ShaHash to the new chainhash.Hash type
- Rename the following functions and update all references:
- wire.BlockHeader.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.BlockSha -> BlockHash
- wire.MsgBlock.TxShas -> TxHashes
- wire.MsgTx.TxSha -> TxHash
- blockchain.ShaHashToBig -> HashToBig
- peer.ShaFunc -> peer.HashFunc
- Rename all variables that included sha in their name to include hash
instead
- Update for function name changes in other dependent packages such as
btcutil
- Update copyright dates on all modified files
- Update glide.lock file to use the required version of btcutil
