This changes the CI build to store the git commit and date into package
internal/version instead of package main. Doing this essentially merges our
two ways of tracking the go-ethereum version into a single place, achieving
two objectives:
- Bad block reports, which use version.Info(), will now have the git commit
information even when geth is built in an environment such as
launchpad.net where git access is unavailable.
- For geth builds created by `go build ./cmd/geth` (i.e. not using `go run
build/ci.go install`), git information stored by the go tool is now used
in the p2p node name as well as in `geth version` and `geth
version-check`.
This change updates our urfave/cli dependency to the v2 branch of the library.
There are some Go API changes in cli v2:
- Flag values can now be accessed using the methods ctx.Bool,
ctx.Int, ctx.String, ... regardless of whether the flag is 'local' or
'global'.
- v2 has built-in support for flag categories. Our home-grown category
system is removed and the categories of flags are assigned as part of
the flag definition.
For users, there is only one observable difference with cli v2: flags must now
strictly appear before regular arguments. For example, the following command is
now invalid:
geth account import mykey.json --password file.txt
Instead, the command must be invoked as follows:
geth account import --password file.txt mykey.json
This change moves the RLPx protocol implementation into a separate package,
p2p/rlpx. The new package can be used to establish RLPx connections for
protocol testing purposes.

This adds an implementation of the current discovery v5 spec.
There is full integration with cmd/devp2p and enode.Iterator in this
version. In theory we could enable the new protocol as a replacement of
discovery v4 at any time. In practice, there will likely be a few more
changes to the spec and implementation before this can happen.
* log: delete RotatingFileHandler
We added this for the dashboard, which is gone now. The
handler never really worked well and had data race and file
handling issues.
* internal/debug: remove unused RotatingFileHandler setup code
This adds an implementation of node discovery via DNS TXT records to the
go-ethereum library. The implementation doesn't match EIP-1459 exactly,
the main difference being that this implementation uses separate merkle
trees for tree links and ENRs. The EIP will be updated to match p2p/dnsdisc.
To maintain DNS trees, cmd/devp2p provides a frontend for the p2p/dnsdisc
library. The new 'dns' subcommands can be used to create, sign and deploy DNS
discovery trees.
* p2p/discover: export Ping and RequestENR
These two are useful for checking the status of a node.
* cmd/devp2p: add devp2p debug tool
This is a new tool for debugging p2p issues. It supports a few
basic tasks for now, but many more things can and will be added
in the near future.
devp2p enrdump -- prints ENRs readably
devp2p discv4 ping -- checks if a node is up
devp2p discv4 requestenr -- gets a node's record
devp2p discv4 resolve -- finds a node through the DHT
* add-date-to unstable
* fields-insteadof-split
* internal/build: support building with missing git
* docker: add git history back to support commit date in version
* internal/build: use PR commits hashes for PR builds
This commit:
- Adds a --msgfile option to read the message to sign from a file
instead of command line argument.
- Adds a unit test for signing subcommands.
- Removes some weird whitespace in the code.
ethkey is a new tool that serves as a command line interface to
the basic key management functionalities of geth. It currently
supports:
- generating keyfiles
- inspecting keyfiles (print public and private key)
- signing messages
- verifying signed messages
