42fb5311b19582361409d65c6fddeadbee14bb97 rpc: return warnings as an array instead of just a single one (stickies-v) Pull request description: The RPC documentation for `getblockchaininfo`, `getmininginfo` and `getnetworkinfo` states that "warnings" returns "any network and blockchain warnings". In practice, only a single warning (i.e. the latest one that is set) is returned, the other ones are ignored. Fix that by returning all warnings as an array. As a side benefit, clean up the GetWarnings() logic. Since this PR changes the RPC result schema, I've added release notes. Users can temporarily revert to the old results by using `-deprecatedrpc=warnings`, until it's removed in a future version. --- Some historical context from git log: - when `GetWarnings` was introduced in 401926283a200994ecd7df8eae8ced8e0b067c46, it was used in the `getinfo` RPC, where only a [single error/warning was returned](401926283a (diff-7442c48d42cd5455a79915a0f00cce5e13359db46437a32b812876edb0a5ccddR250)) (similar to how it is now). - later on, "warnings" RPC response fields were introduced, e.g. in ef2a3de25c882396e1776b554878d2784b6b7391, with the description [stating](ef2a3de25c (diff-1021bd3c74415ad9719bd764ad6ca35af5dfb33b1cd863c0be49bdf52518af54R411)) that it returned "any network warnings" but in practice still only a single warning was returned ACKs for top commit: achow101: re-ACK 42fb5311b19582361409d65c6fddeadbee14bb97 tdb3: Re ACK for 42fb5311b19582361409d65c6fddeadbee14bb97 TheCharlatan: ACK 42fb5311b19582361409d65c6fddeadbee14bb97 maflcko: ACK 42fb5311b19582361409d65c6fddeadbee14bb97 🔺 Tree-SHA512: 4225ed8979cd5f030dec785a80e7452a041ad5703445da79d2906ada983ed0bbe7b15889d663d75aae4a77d92e302c93e93eca185c7bd47c9cce29e12f752bd3
Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
