This change removes deprecated methods from the ipc mining interface. Warning: This is an intermediate, review-only commit. Binaries built from it should not be distributed or used to connect to other clients or servers. It makes incompatible changes to the `mining.capnp` schema without updating the `Init.makeMining` version, causing binaries to advertise support for a schema they do not actually implement. Mixed versions may therefore exchange garbage requests/responses instead of producing clear errors. The final commit in this series bumps the mining interface number to ensure mismatches are detected. git-bisect-skip: yes
Internal c++ interfaces
The following interfaces are defined here:
-
Chain— used by wallet to access blockchain and mempool state. Added in #14437, #14711, #15288, and #10973. -
ChainClient— used by node to start & stopChainclients. Added in #14437. -
Node— used by GUI to start & stop bitcoin node. Added in #10244. -
Handler— returned byhandleEventmethods on interfaces above and used to manage lifetimes of event handlers. -
Init— used by multiprocess code to access interfaces above on startup. Added in #19160. -
Ipc— used by multiprocess code to accessInitinterface across processes. Added in #19160.
The interfaces above define boundaries between major components of bitcoin code (node, wallet, and gui), making it possible for them to run in different processes, and be tested, developed, and understood independently. These interfaces are not currently designed to be stable or to be used externally.
