Why make the change?
As discussed previously, the way we will move across versions is to maintain completely separate
codebases and eventually remove those that are not supported anymore.
This has the drawback of some code duplication, but the advantage is that is more
explicit what each version requires, and changes in one version will not
impact the other, so we won't pile up backward compatible code.
This is the same strategy used by `whisper` in go ethereum and is influenced by
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyLBGkS5ICk .
All the code that is used for the networking protocol is now under `v0/`.
Some of the common parts might still be refactored out.
The main namespace `waku` deals with `host`->`waku` interactions (through RPC),
while `v0` deals with `waku`->`remote-waku` interactions.
In order to support `v1`, the namespace `v0` will be copied over, and changed to
support `v1`. Once `v0` will be not used anymore, the whole namespace will be removed.
This PR does not actually implement `v1`, I'd rather get things looked over to
make sure the structure is what we would like before implementing the changes.
What has changed?
- Moved all code for the common parts under `waku/common/` namespace
- Moved code used for bloomfilters in `waku/common/bloomfilter.go`
- Removed all version specific code from `waku/common/const` (`ProtocolVersion`, status-codes etc)
- Added interfaces for `WakuHost` and `Peer` under `waku/common/protocol.go`
Things still to do
Some tests in `waku/` are still testing by stubbing components of a particular version (`v0`).
I started moving those tests to instead of stubbing using the actual component, which increases
the testing surface. Some other tests that can't be easily ported should be likely moved under
`v0` instead. Ideally no version specif code should be exported from a version namespace (for
example the various codes, as those might change across versions). But this will be a work-in-progress.
Some code that will be common in `v0`/`v1` could still be extract to avoid duplication, and duplicated only
when implementations diverge across versions.
If the user deletes/leaves a group chat, the chat is set as not active.
This means that if we are re-invited to the chat it won't be shown to
the user.
This commit changes this behavior so that if we are re-invited to the
chat it is set as active again.
When receiving a message with save a contact in the database in order to
avoid re-calculating image/profile.
This contact is then passed to the client, which can negatively impact
performance.
This commit changes the behavior so that only those contacts that have
some custom fields (have been explicitly added by the user, have been
blocked by the user, have sent a contact request or have a verified ens
name) are passed to the client.
Currently replies to messages are handled in status-react.
This causes some issues with the fact that sometimes replies might come
out of order, they might be offloaded to the database etc.
This commit changes the behavior so that status-go always returns the
replies, and in case a reply comes out of order (first the reply, later
the message being replied to), it will include in the messages the
updated message.
It also adds some fields (RTL,Replace,LineCount) to the database which
were not previously saved, resulting in some potential bugs.
The method that we use to pull replies is currently a bit naive, we just
pull all the message again from the database, but has the advantage of
being simple. It will go through performance testing to make sure
performnace are acceptable, if so I think it's reasonable to avoid some
complexity.
- unused API methods are removed
- some unusued code is removed too
- API docs are updated
That's just a portion of clean up that should be done,
but the rest of it will probably happen in different PR
with changes to the way how we watch to chain updates.
Currently ENS are verified explicitly by status-react, this is not ideal
as if that fails it will have to be explicilty retried in status-react.
This commits changes that behavior so that ENS are verified in a loop
and updated if new messages are received.
Storing absolute path for different configs breaks compatibility on iOS
as app's dir is changed after upgrade. The solution is to store relative
paths and to concatenate it with `backend.rootDataDir`. The only
exception is `LogFile` as it is stored outside `backend.rootDataDir` on
Android. `LogDir` config was added to allow adding of custom dir for log
file.
Configs concerned:
`DataDir`
`LogDir`
`LogFile`
`KeystoreDir`
`BackupDisabledDataDir`
- In order to avoid handling of the reorganized blocks we use an offset
from the latest known block when start listening to new blocks. Before
this commit the offset was 15 blocks for all networks. This offset is
too big for mainnet and causes noticeable delay of marking a transfer as
confirmed in Status (comparing to etherscan). So it was changed to be 5
blocks on mainnet and is still 15 blocks on other networks.
- Also before this commit all new blocks were handled one by one with
network specific interval (10s for mainnet), which means that in case of
lost internet connection or application suspension (happens on iOS)
receiving of new blocks would be paused and then resumed with the same
"speed" - 1 blocks per 10s. In case if that pause is big enough the
application would never catch up with the latest block in the network,
and this also causes the state of transfers to be delayed in the
application. In this commit in case if there was more than 40s delay
after receiving of the previous block the whole history in range between
the previous received block and ("latest"-reorgeSafetyDepth) block is
checked at once and app catches up with a recent state of the chain.
This commit pegs the clock value to maximum + 120 seconds from the whisper
timestamp.
In this way the we avoid the scenario where a client makes the timestamp
increase arbitrarely.
