Dev mode enabled some debugging flags such as:
* VM debugging mode
* Simpler proof of work
* Whisper enabled by default
* Datadir to a tmp datadir
* Maxpeers set to 0
* Gas price of 0
* Random listen port
* Miners do now verify their own header, not their state.
* Changed old putTx and putReceipts to be exported
* Moved writing of transactions and receipts out of the block processer
in to the chain manager. Closes#1386
* Miner post ChainHeadEvent & ChainEvent. Closes#1388
* multiple passwords allowed in password file
* split on "\n", sideeffect: chop trailing slashes. fixes common mistake <(echo 'pass')
* remove accounts.Primary method
* do not fall back to primary account for mining
You can set the nonce of the block with `--genesisnonce`. When the
genesis nonce changes and it doesn't match with the first block in your
database it will fail. A new `datadir` must be given if the nonce of the
genesis block changes.
- backend: AutoDAG bool flag passed from cli/eth.Config to ethereum, autoDAG loop started if true
- backend: autoDAG loop start/stop, remove previous DAG
- cli: AutoDAG bool flag, off by default, but automatically ON if mining
- admin jsre: add startAutoDAG stopAutoDAG and makeDAG in miner section
- switch on/off DAG autogeneration when miner started/stopped on console
ChainManager now uses a parallel approach to block processing where all
nonces are checked seperatly from the block processing process. This
speeds up the process by about 3 times on my i7
* common/compiler: solidity compiler + tests
* rpc: eth_compilers, eth_compileSolidity + tests
* fix natspec test using keystore API, notice exp dynamically changes addr, cleanup
* resolver implements registrars and needs to create reg contract (temp)
* xeth: solidity compiler. expose getter Solc() and paths setter SetSolc(solcPath)
* ethereumApi: implement compiler related RPC calls using XEth - json struct tests
* admin: make use of XEth.SetSolc to allow runtime setting of compiler paths
* cli: command line flags solc to set custom solc bin path
* js admin api with new features debug and contractInfo modules
