* Proto changes to facilitate backward sync
* Update to latest spec types in sync proto
* Use blockpool for more straightforward block headers collection
* Added BlockPool.getRef
* Update beacon_chain/sync_protocol.nim
Co-Authored-By: Jacek Sieka <arnetheduck@gmail.com>
* track justified and head blocks correctly in presence of blank slots
* fix new block state root
* keep list of viable heads instead of walking children
* disable json bitfield deserializer (needs a corresponding serializer)
* fix handshake best & finalized root
* ssz: update to 0.5.1:ish
* slightly fewer seq allocations
* still a lot of potential for optimization
* fixes#174
* ssz: avoid reallocating leaves (logN merkle impl)
* begin 0.5.0 spec update: parent_root -> previous_block_root, BeaconState.justified_epoch -> BeaconState.current_justified_epoch, DOMAIN_PROPOSAL -> DOMAIN_BEACON_BLOCK, temporarily rename BeaconBlockHeader to BeaconBlockHeaderRLP to allow for gradual re-merging without disrupting RLP; mark a few unchanged functions and data types, implement get_temporary_block_header/get_empty_block/should_update_validator_registry/processBlockHeader/cacheState; update a few others
* a dozen or so more trivial mostly comment changes, finding more unchanged parts of 0.5.0
* several more trivial changes; goal is to reduce noise around the upcoming substantial changes (epoch processing, etc)
To enable it, comment out the 'withLibp2p' line in nim.cfg
The history was squashed in order to remove an accidentally
commited binary file.
Other changes:
* SSZ was adapted to use the common serialization framework
* gossibsup.subscribe is not using async handlers at the moment
and this allowed me to simplify it
* spec updates
* make several constants uint64 to help minimize casting
* document data type woes - will have to revisit these
* change comment style on fields and constants to make room for better
comments
* add BLSVerify and BLSAddPbkeys facades to insulate spec code from
milagro
* fix proof of possession type
* drop explicitly ordered container fields from ssz - there's an issue
open to sort this out before committing it to the spec
