Networking, repository/DB improvements and bugfixes

NOTE
If you update to this version with an existing DB, it will take quite a while to 'reshape' your DB depending on how big it is. This can vary from a few minutes to several hours.

Your DB will only reduce in size if you do one of:

• use API call DELETE /admin/repository
• use org.qortal.RepositoryMaintenance main entry point
• perform CHECKPOINT DEFRAG or SHUTDOWN COMPACT via HSQLDB's "sqltool"

If you have no open/active trades, you might find it quicker & easier to wipe your DB and use the bootstrap DB.

If you do have open/active trades, then on first startup of this version, your core will export those records into a file named TradeBotStates.script. Once this file is created, you can kill your current core process, replace your DB with the bootstrap and use the API call POST /admin/repository/data to re-import your exported data. Note: the API call will look for a file named import.script unless you have set apiKey in settings.json.

With existing DBs, the pathway to smaller DB is:

1. start up with new version to perform DB reshape
2. allow AT-states/online accounts trimming to finish (can take several hours)
3. perform DB defrag as per above

Changes in this release:

• DB reshape to help HSQLDB reuse space to slow DB size growth
• More aggressive caching to reduce CPU load, especially when responding to peers
• Ability to export node-local/sensitive repository data and corresponding import
• Support for X-API-KEY header (must match value in settings.json) when performing sensitive API calls
  For more detail, see commit log.

db-v1.3.7-171850.zip

This is a 'bootstrap' database containing blockchain up to block height 171850, for Qortal core version v1.3.7+ ONLY.

This is to avoid the time/hassle of synchronizing your node from scratch.

WARNING: If you have any active, or on-going, trades then these will be lost if you replace your DB!
However, see text above about how to export your trade-bot entries/minting keys first.

It has no minting accounts added, so if you have a minting account you need to re-add this via UI or API.
It has an initial list of various community-run peers to help connect your node to the network.

The ZIP file contains:

• db/blockchain.data (4.9GB)
• db/blockchain.properties (107B)
• db/blockchain.script (33K)

Delete/rename/move your old db folder first!

For Windows users, unpack into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Qortal\ folder.
Consider using 7zip if Windows built-in ZIP doesn't work.

For other users, unpack while in the same folder as qortal.jar.

In both cases, you should end up with a db folder with the actual files inside.

To use this, shutdown your core then replace your existing qortal.jar with the above download.

DB trimming, ElectrumX/trade-bot, deadlock fix, other improvements

NOTE
If you update to this version with an existing DB, it will take quite a while to 'reshape' your DB depending on how big it is. This can vary from a few minutes to several hours.

Your DB will only reduce in size if you:
use the new API call,
call org.qortal.RepositoryMaintenance app entry point,
perform 'CHECKPOINT DEFRAG' via HSQLDB's "sqltool".

If you have no open/active trades, you might find it quicker & easier to wipe your DB and use the uploaded bootstrap DB.

With existing DBs, the pathway to smaller DB is:

1. start up with new version to perform DB reshape
2. allow AT-state and online accounts trimming to finish (can take several hours)
3. perform DB defrag

Changes in this release:

• AT state trimming to reduce DB size growth
• Online accounts trimming to reduce DB size growth
• Lots of HSQLDB-related fixes and performance improvements.
• Lots of general performance improvements
• Added settings entry "localeLang" for controlling core language, e.g. SysTray (not-API)
• Fix for HSQLDB deadlock during CHECKPOINT.
• Added API call DELETE /admin/repository which actually performs repository maintenance (takes several minutes)
• Added isTestNet to API call GET /admin/info
• Reduce DB storage of AT states
• Bump to HSQLDB v2.5.1 as we seem clear of OOM issue
• Reduce HSQLDBRepository log noise by omitting idle session info
• Add bitcoinj Context propagation
• Tighten up trade-bot, ElectrumX
• Tighten up sync status reporting, especially when using forcesync
• Improved start-up shell script "start.sh"

API bug-fix and other minor (partial release)

NOTE:
If you have an existing pre-v1.3.1 then the first start-up of v1.3.2 will "reshape" your database.
This can take some time, varying from about 30 seconds with high-powered desktops to even 30 minutes with low-powered devices or older computers.

If you look at your log files (e.g. log.txt.1), database reshaping occurs when you will see this line:
2020-08-12 16:57:38 INFO Controller:308 - Starting repository
and is finished when this line appears (which should be next):
2020-08-12 16:59:38 INFO HSQLDBDatabaseUpdates:660 - HSQLDB repository updated to version 23

If you interrupt this process, there is a chance your database will end up corrupt.

UPDATING (Windows users)
Because of the change to the EXE wrapper that starts Qortal on Windows machines, you are advised to download and launch the Windows installer at your earliest convenience!

Changes in this release:

• Fix for slow API call GET /crosschain/trades due to slow SQL query
• Added minimumTimestamp param to above API call
• Fixed race condition between Network.start() and Controller calling Network.prunePeers() resulting in NPE
• Modified ApplyUpdate (2nd stage of auto-update) to pass JVM heap options to Windows launcher EXE

CPU improvements, especially for Windows users!

NOTE:
If you have an existing pre-v1.3.1 then the first start-up of v1.3.2 will "reshape" your database.
This can take some time, varying from about 30 seconds with high-powered desktops to even 30 minutes with low-powered devices or older computers.

If you look at your log files (e.g. log.txt.1), database reshaping occurs when you will see this line:
2020-08-12 16:57:38 INFO Controller:308 - Starting repository
and is finished when this line appears (which should be next):
2020-08-12 16:59:38 INFO HSQLDBDatabaseUpdates:660 - HSQLDB repository updated to version 23

If you interrupt this process, there is a chance your database will end up corrupt.

UPDATING (Windows users)
Because of the change to the EXE wrapper that starts Qortal on Windows machines, it is not enough to simply replace the JAR, you actually need to download and run the latest installer (below).

Changes in this release:

• The EXE wrapper provided by the Windows installer run starts Java JVM in 'server' context, allowing use of more than 256MB!
• Auto-updates after v1.3.2 will not create a database backup unless enabled in settings
• HSQLDB CHECKPOINT commands added between each DB-reshape statement to reduce risk of failure
• Start-up blockchain validity checking restricted to top 1440 blocks (for now) for faster start-up
• Improved HSQLDB query relating to fetching AT state data
• More efficient CIYAM AT v1.3.7 with reduced byte-array copying and other improvements

Changes in this release:

• Updated CIYAM AT subsystem to use lambda-based logging, reducing CPU load if logging disabled
• Reworked synchronizer strategy when switching chains to reduce work
• Converted HSQLDB LOBs to VARBINARYs to reduce DB workload and space usage
• Disabled peer-buffer dealloc to reduce GC pressure
• Reduced network handshake PoW requirements for v1.3.1+ peers
• Caching of top two blocks' "online accounts data" to reduce Ed25519 verifications
• Added a form of "block unknown" response to avoid peer timeouts/disconnections

db-51243.zip

This is a 'bootstrap' database containing blockchain up to block height 51243.
WARNING: If you have any active, or on-going, trades then these will be lost if you replace your DB!
It has no minting accounts added, so if you have a minting account you need to re-add this via UI or API.
It has an initial list of various community-run peers to help connect your node to the network.

The ZIP file contains:

• db/blockchain.data (48M)
• db/blockchain.lobs (1.0G)
• db/blockchain.properties (99B)
• db/blockchain.script (18M)

For Windows users, unpack into %LOCALAPPDATA%\Qortal\ folder.
For other users, unpack while in the same folder as qortal.jar.
In both cases, you should end up with a db folder with the actual files inside.
