We already have Java 7 (for Android) and Java 11. Supporting Java 8
would require crossbuilding, which we are not doing (two recent PRs
broke the build on Java 8).
Port the existing API functionalities over a new structure of HTTP endpoints, with the biggest difference being the usage of **named parameters** for the requests (responses are unchanged). RPC methods have become endpoints and the parameters for each are now passed via form-params (clients must use the header "Content-Type" : "multipart/form-data"), this allows for a clearer interpretation of the parameters and results in more elegant parsing code on the server side. It is possible to still use the old API version via a configuration key.
Old API can be used by setting `eclair.api.use-old-api=true`.
* Use bitcoin-lib 0.11, which embeds libsecp256k1
* Unit tests: generate dummy sig from 32 random bytes
We now use a version of bitcoin-lib which embeds JNI bindings for libsecp256k1,
and it will only sign data that is 32 bytes long (in Bitcoin and LN you always
sign data hashes, not the actual data).
* Use maven 3.6.0 and a different mirror
* RoutingSyncSpec: don't create databases at init time
We called nodeParams which created a new in-memory sqlite database everytime we created "fake" routing info
* Upgrade to JDK11
Eclair can be built and used on Oracle JDK 1.8 or OpenJDK 11.
JavaFX is now embedded in eclair-node-gui and does not need to be installed separately.
* Install: update java download links
OpenJDK 11 is now our recommendation. Tell users to download java from https://jdk.java.net/11
* README: Rewrite installation instructions
* updated to scalatest 3.0.5
* use scalatest runner instead of junit
Output is far more readable, and makes console (incl. travis) reports
actually usable.
Turned off test logs as error reporting is enough to figure out what
happens.
The only downside is that we can't use junit's categories to group
tests, like we did for docker related tests. We could use nested suites,
but that seems to be overkill so I just removed the categories. Users
will only have the possibility to either skip/run all tests.
* update scala-maven-plugin to 3.4.2
NB: This requires maven 3.5.4, which means that we currently need to
manually install maven on travis.
Also updated Docker java version to 8u181 (8u171 for compiling).
* Renamed eclair-node-javafx module to eclair-node-gui
* (build) javafx installer uses project version
* (build) Streamlined capsule names
* (build) mvn generates installer only with `installer` profile. The windows installer does not need to be created in common cases. Decreases `eclair-node-gui` module building time by ~ 1 min
* (readme) updated the `run eclair` commands with the new capsule names
