-All node dependencies are up-to-date in package.json
-Updated semantic versioning of some node dependencies in package.json
-Applied fixes to necessary explorer files to fix breaking changes to mongoose dependency
-Update README with new Node.js and MongoDB version recommendations
NOTE: Node.js must be updated to at least v14.13.1 to fix breaking errors in a few of the updated dependencies
-Also add output displaying which block is currently being checked as before it was almost impossible to determine what, if anything was happening in check mode
-New npm scripts make syncing and running other explorer tasks easier, without needing to remember longer command syntax
-Updated README to explain new npm scripts and give recommendations on their usage. Also update sample crontab section
-Market sync now sets the last USD price based on the default market pair even if it is not BTC
-Removed the coindesk api which was only really useful for getting the USD price of BTC
-Added a couple coingecko apis which are used to get the current USD value of the default market pair
-Updated the readme, settings file comments and info/api page with better verbiage regarding the market price which was previously only measured in BTC
-Safari behaves differently than other browsers and seems to require the url prefix to be present when loading external libraries to prevent CORS errors
-Many blockchains allow you to use addnodes without a port # and it will assume the default port internally, but the explorer was failing to parse these peers because it was expecting a port. This is now fixed and will display the peer data without a port in these cases
-Removes the unique constraint on the 'addr' field from the masternode collection
NOTE: If you are experiencing a mongo duplicate key error while running a masternode sync, the easiest way to correct the problem is as follows:
1) #Stop the explorer
2) git pull
3) mongo
4) use explorerdb
5) db.masternodes.drop()
6) exit
7) #Restart the explorer
8) /path/to/explorer/scripts/sync.sh /path/to/node masternodes
-Automatically detect if using newer or older Dash masternode format and display applicable columns and data
-Added new fields 'ip_address' and 'last_paid_block' to the Masternode collection
-Added a gradient background to the default, light and dark navbars (header and footer)
-Added a slight rounded corner effect to all applicable nav-link and poweredby elements contained within a default, light or dark navbar
-More graceful shutdown of node cluster on 'npm stop' with better cleanup of resources on exit
-Added new stop_explorer.sh script which looks up the explorer port # via settings file and closes the application running on that port # instead of saving and killing the process by pid as it did before
-Added support for pm2 and forever using 'npm run start-pm2' and 'npm run start-forever' respectively
-pm2 is automatically installed when starting with 'npm run start-pm2' if it is not already installed
-forever is automatically installed when starting with 'npm run start-forever' if it is not already installed
-Updated existing npm commands in package.json by replacing hardcoded 'node' with '$(which node)'
-/path/to/nodejs changed to /path/to/node in the /settings.json.template, /lib/settings.js and /scripts/sync.js files
-README updates:
-Added a new 'Start/Stop the Explorer' section
-Added PM2 instructions to the 'Start/Stop the Explorer' section
-Moved Start/Stop Explorer instructions to the 'Start/Stop the Explorer' section
-Moved Forever instructions to the 'Start/Stop the Explorer' section
-/path/to/nodejs changed to /path/to/node
-Some additional small misc fixes
-The update_stats() function is now called again from all pages even when not displaying panels to fix an oversight with the earlier change to allow removal of panels from any page
-Reorganized the structure and order of calls within the /ext/getsummary api to allow for returning just the connection and block counts for pages that have show_panels set to false
-Combined two script sections into one on the address page
-Changed the shorthand $(function() into $(document).ready() for consistency on the claim address page
-All pages (including the reward and error pages) were updated to include options for displaying a configurable page header with title, image, description and in some cases a last updated date
-The error page was restructured slightly to display a different description based on the type of error (page not found error vs problem loading page error)
-Added new setting options to the `shared_pages` setting for `page_title_image` which allows changing the page title image displayed on applicable pages and also determines whether it uses a flip/spin animation or not
-Added a collection of new `page_header` settings to all pages that control displaying the new page title + image + description and also moved the last updated date from applicable pages into this section as well
-Existing `show_last_updated` settings that were moved a level deeper into the `page_header` have been automatically mapped to the new setting location upon statup to help older installs to work better out-of-the-box
-Added new css rules to the styles.scss file to support the new page header/title options
-Added a number of new locale strings for page titles and descriptions, and moved a few locale strings around to different names internally that were already using the same naming scheme for different elements (such as api_title being moved to api_documentation for example)
-Started adding new locale strings with replacement text such as {1} and {2} that get automatically replaced with proper values when loaded to allow for locale strings that support dynamic text
-Fixed an issue with too much empty space in the page header (especially in mobile and tablet modes) when `show_panels` was set to false on any page
-Added a new `shared_pages.page_header.search.position` setting that determines where the search bar is located (valid options include the old 'below-header' and the new 'inside-header' options)
-`shared_pages.page_header.show_search` setting has been re-mapped to `shared_pages.page_header.search.enabled`
-Updated the search placeholder locale text
-Changed the Explorer menu item icon from a magnifying glass to a cubes/blocks icon
-Updated css rules to fix some small glitches and allow the new 'inside-header' search option to function
-This css fix helps prevent issues with top panels causing unnecessary vertical scrollbar and datatable glitches when using the non-sticky footer feature in some browsers
-I figure this should be changed now while it's fresh on my mind and may come in handy down the road to have the ability to auto-run 'npm update' when new packages are added and/or to more easily do any other future pre-run processing
-Added a new client-side library for date/time formatting: Luxon v1.26.0
-Added new date/time settings for display format, timezone (utc or local) and an option to enable alternate timezone tooltips
-All date/time values are now formatted via Luxon and displayed according to the new configurable settings
-All markets now return Trade History timestamp values as unix timestamp values formatted in seconds
-Added new settings for Expresss webserver TLS/SSL options
-Added instructions to the README for running the explorer on port 80
-Added instructions to the README for setting up a secure TLS/SSL connection for the explorer
-Moved the 'CORS Support' section higher up in the README
-Add new address_page.enable_hidden_address_view setting which controls whether the special hidden_address address page can be viewed
-Add new address_page.enable_unknown_address_view setting which controls whether the special unknown_address address page can be viewed
-route to special coinbase address is permanently disabled
-Greatly increases speed of database restore by removing the 'remove' cmds which are not only unnecessary but can be extremely time-consuming to run on large database collections while drop statements run very fast and free up everything required
-Greatly increases speed of database deletion by removing the 'remove' cmds which are not only unnecessary but can be extremely time-consuming to run on large database collections while drop statements run very fast and free up everything required
-Adds a tx_type field to the tx model which is typically null for "normal" transaction types, but can also display 'p2pk' for bitcoin txes which require addtional encoding to reveal the P2PKH address as well as 'zksnarks' for transactions with hidden sender or receiver data
-Additional fixes for how data is displayed when a valid wallet address cannot be found
-Includes some small updates to how zksnarks transactions display hidden sender/receiver data
-Replace tabs with double-spaces
-Betting spacing and lining up of code functions
-Add missing semi-colons
-Remove extra characters and spaces where applicable
-Remove commented-out code fragments
-Add missing 2021 date to LICENSE
-Small touchups and other misc nitpickings
-Improved the display of the market page so that as long as one section has data (stats, buys, sells, trade history) the page will load properly even if it's only one section that isn't blank. Previously it would display an error if just one section was blank.
-Added the coin name beside the market pages volume header column in the 24h stats section
-Fixed a bug that was displaying an error when the summary value from the 24h stats section was supplied but was a blank string or '-' character
-Better success/error message during market sync
-Updated README layout
-Rewrote the project description
-Added a special thanks section
-Added a bountry program section
-Added table of contents
-Added links to 3rd party setup guides
-Added more detail about explorer features
-Added missing reindex-last option to the "Syncing Databases with the Blockchain" section
-Added a section on Forever
-Added a "How You Can Support Us" section
-Updated verbiage to be more clear in some sections
-Updated command text to determine the default stack size in the "Known Issues" section
-Fixed some layout issues in the copyright section
-Better error handling of update_db()
-Fixes an issue that can cause some stats values to get set to a negative number when running an index sync and the wallet daemon has not finished loading the blockchain yet (If this happens to you, stop the explorer, apply this fix with `git pull` to make sure it doesn't happen again, then run a reindex-txcount and reindex-last to restore the proper values)
-The last market price was not properly checking against trading pairs and was updating based on all pairs for the default exchange which could potentially cause non-BTC markets to show a much higher last price value than normal
