It: - Renames struct InitInterfaces to struct NodeContext and moves it from src/init.h to src/node/context.h. This is a cosmetic change intended to make the point of the struct more obvious. - Gets rid of BanMan and ConnMan globals making them NodeContext members instead. Getting rid of these globals has been talked about in past as a way to implement testing and simulations. Making them NodeContext members is a way of keeping them accessible without the globals. - Splits g_rpc_interfaces global into g_rpc_node and g_rpc_chain globals. This better separates node and wallet rpc methods. Node RPC methods should have access NodeContext, while wallet RPC methods should only have indirect access to node functionality via interfaces::Chain. - Adds NodeContext& references to interfaces::Chain class and the interfaces::MakeChain() function. This is needed to access ConnMan and BanMan instances without the globals. - Gets rid of redundant Node and Chain instances in Qt tests. This is needed due to the previous MakeChain change, and also makes test setup a little more straightforward. More cleanup could be done in the future, but it will require deduplication of bitcoind, bitcoin-qt, and TestingSetup init code.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately useable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built and tested, but is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The Travis CI system makes sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
