-Main update is to add support for express v5.x which required some code changes to a few of the public and wallet api routes
-Removed the body-parser dependency and replaced with express which now has the same functionaliuty built-in and is no longer necessary to have a dedicated dependency
-All dependencies in the package.json have been updated to reference the most up-to-date version numbers
-A number of functions have been rewritten to be more optimized and faster: calculate_total, is_unique, convert_to_satoshi, get_input_addresses, processVoutAddresses, prepare_vout, prepare_vin
-Txes are now written to database via bulk writes which helps improve the sync speed and also controls memory usage with batching to write data once a certain threshold is reached
-update_address function changed to update_addresses since it now bulk writes the addresses in batches to improve sync speed and also controls memory usage with batching to write data once a certain threshold is reached
-The syncLoop function has been completely removed from the project and replaced with async library loops or even normal "for" loops in some cases which greatly improves sync speeds over large batches of data
-Fixed an issue with the flattened count of txes that is saved to the coinstats collection which could save incorrectly when using more than 1 thread
-Fixed an issue with the block sync which caused an unwanted delay when syncing less blocks than the amount of threads used to sync the data
-Fixed an issue with vout data processing that could sometimes populate data out of order
-Added a new sync.batch_size setting used to determine how many records (txes, addresses, addresstxes) should be saved in a single database transaction
-Added a new wait_for_bulk_database_save setting used to increase the block sync speed at the cost of not returning any error msgs for data that failed to save
-get_input_addresses function no longer returns in the exports section of the explorer.js file since it is only referenced in that file
-Updated explorerspec tests to use the newest function changes for any tests that needed to be updated
Special thanks to Karzo from Pepecoin for help with the bulkwrite code changes!
-Plugins can now be enabled via settings.json after dropping the plugin files into the new plugins directory
-Enabling plugins will allow extending the normal functionality of the explorer with new database collections, menus, pages and apis + open up a new url for data to be sent from the plugin to the explorer
-A new plugins section was added to the settings with a definition for the generic-snapshots plugin
-Locale strings are now loaded and shared out via the settings so there is generally no more need to explicitly include the locale.js file
-The locale object has been updated to localization within the explorer
-A number of new locale strings have been added and their values replaced with the locale string within the explorer
-Added plugin support verbiage and a link to the generic-snapshots crowdfunding task to the README
-Supported captchas include Google reCaptcha v3 (score-based), Google reCaptcha v2 (checkbox and invisible) and hCaptcha ("Always Challenge" mode)
-Captcha options are global to the explorer even though the only form submission page is the "Claim Address" feature which takes full advantage of the new captcha options
-The previous market price calculation setting was hardcoded to only display market and USD prices for a single exchange and trading pair which was not very accurate for coins listed on multiple exchanges or with multiple trading pairs. The new default is to average the market prices for all supported exchanges and trading pairs
-The coingecko market price option was added to allow fetching the market price directly from the coingecko api instead of calculating it via supported exchanges known to the explorer
-Added a new root setting option for default_coingecko_ids which allows presetting symbols to their associated internal coingecko id to help prevent matching to the wrong currency with same symbol via coingecko api calls
-Fixed an issue where the explorer would fail to start with an enabled exchange that had no defined trading pairs
-Javascript in the layout.pug has been moved around in an attempt to only load code into the client based on certain settings such as the type of menu (side or top) in order to slim down the loading of pages by not including unnecessary code
-Fixed a bug on the richlist page where the last updated date and logo spinning animation would fail to load if the distribution chart was disabled in the settings
-The .ext/getsummary api has been modified to only return the connection and block counts when necessary
-The getmasternodecount rpc api will no longer fetch data unless it is enabled in settings
-All external market apis have been normalized with a similar coding format, improved error handling with new wait times in between api calls to prevent abuse issues with sending too many requests too quickly
-All general market code has been reviewed and improved where necessary to help prevent sync issues
-Inactive markets are now removed from the markets collection on startup of the explorer to help prevent bloating the database
-The yobit api url has been changed to the new url
-The poloniex market has been updated to use the newest api
-The southxchange exchange trading link has been changed to the new url
-Miscellaneous locale string changes and reorganization
-Created a new claimaddress collection to hold claim address data to make it easier to work with and preserve that data if necessary in the future without being cluttered into the address collection
-The database init function has been updated to move claim address data to the new collection and remove the data from the address collection. This process will update existing explorer databases automatically and is smart enough to only run this process one time to prevent from slowing down startup of the explorer on each run
-The claim name field has been changed from "name" to "claim_name" wherever possible to be easier to find in the future. Searching for the keyword "name" brings back way too many matches and makes it difficult to find all the correct code snippets for future changes
-Added a newer_claim_address field to the stats collection to determine if the claim address data needs to be moved to the new collection or not
-All previous claim address code has been updated to pull from the new table and/or join to the address table if/when necessary
-The index and movement pages auto-refresh the list of transactions but the last updated dates were not updated until the page was reloaded. This has been changed so that the last updated date now also auto-refreshes along with the table data
-Previously when manually linking TLS/SSL certificates from certbot, the certificates themselves would be automatically updated via certbot but the explorer was still referencing the old certificates in memory and would cause https connections to stop working once the certificates actually expired. The explorer now watches for changes to the certificate directory and will automatically refresh and use the new certificates without requiring any kind of restart.
-The different methods of starting the explorer now set NODE_ENV to "development" or "production" depending on which options were chosen
-pm2 is now loaded from within the prestart script and will reload the config instead of starting if it was previously loaded which allows changing the NODE_ENV value if necessary
NOTE: if running via pm2 or forever when updating the explorer with this change, it is necessary to manually stop the explorer with `npm run stop-pm2` or `npm run stop-forever` and then start again after the code has been updated to allow NODE_ENV to be set to "production". Without doing this, the explorer will still be run in "development" mode until pm2 or forever is fully stopped and restarted.
-The block sync will now remove orphaned block data from the txes collecton, address balances/sent/received data as well as addresstx data and now stores limited info in a new orphans collection
-Added a new optional page for viewing orphaned block data
-The coinbase address now updates sent totals from POS rewards and other transactions that have vout but no vin addresses
-Block and transaction pages now display a warning when viewing an orphaned block or tx
-Added a couple new fields to the coinstats collection for tracking orphaned blocks
-Added new locale strings for the orphaned block feature
-The update_explorer.js script has been improved with better spacing and the ability to restart the explorer automatically to ensure new changes take effect immidiately (works with npm start, pm2 and forever)
-The code to compile scss to css has been moved from the prestart script into its own compile_css.js script which is now called from the update-explorer.js script to apply css changes after update
-The cluster code now handles a custom restart msg which is used to restart the explorer from the update explorer process
-Pm2 and Forever are now referenced by the name 'explorer' instead of ./bin/instance or ./bin/cluster [SEE IMPORTANT NOTE BELOW]
-Added reload/restart scripts to the package.json for pm2 and forever
-Pm2 and forever now write a pid file to the tmp directory when started. NOTE: Forever is now started from the prestart script due to a bug in forever that prevents the pid from being written to a different directory without the absolute path
-Fixed a bug which caused the prestart script to be run twice when starting the explorer with `npm start`
-The cluster code now accepts a numeric argument to force a specific number of instances to be loaded
-The `npm run start-instance` cmd now loads using the cluster code with a single instance
-The is_locked function now accepts an optional 'silent' argument to prevent displaying msgs while checking for pid/lock files
-Added some process.exit statements to the stop_explorer.js file
-Updated the README with cmd changes from package.json and updated description of the "Update Explorer Script"
IMPORTANT NOTE: It is strongly recommended to stop the explorer before performing this update. If the explorer is running while you perform this update, you will need to stop and restart the explorer for this update to fully take effect. Because of the changes in this commit, stopping the explorer using the built-in pm2 and/or forever stop cmds will not work and you will need to type out the full stop cmd this one time only, and going forward from now on you should no longer need to even stop the explorer for any update as it is now built into the update cmd.
If running using pm2 and you cannot stop the explorer, you can use stop using the following full cmd syntax:
Windows:
pm2 stop ./bin/instance
Linux and other OS's:
node node_modules/pm2/bin/pm2 stop ./bin/instance
If running using forever and you cannot stop the explorer, you can use stop using the following full cmd syntax:
All OS's:
node node_modules/forever/bin/forever stop ./bin/cluster
-Added a new port_filter setting to the 3 network_page tables which allows showing only results from peers on the selected port
-Added a new hide_protocols setting to the 3 network_page tables which allows hiding results from peers on the selected protocols
-Added a Port column to the data table on the Network page Connections tab
-The data table on the Network page Connections tab is now sortable
-The peer sync now refreshes data for peers that existed since last sync
-Adding and updating peers now displays the port # in the log output
-The /ext/getnetworkpeers api is now sorted by ip4/ip6, address and port which also means all data on the Network page is sorted this way by default as well
-The /ext/getnetworkpeers api no longer requires the internal argument for calls originating from the Network page
-The Network page now only makes a single call to the /ext/getnetworkpeers api instead of 3 calls
-The find_peer and drop_peer functions now requiresa port to distinguish between multiple connections to the same peer on different ports
-This exchange has 2 separate sites using the same api, so new functionality was added to the explorer to handle alt markets like this
-market files now allow for new field names: "market_name_alt" was added for the alternate market name, "market_logo_alt" was added for displaying an alternate logo, a "market_url" function was added that will return a url string to replace the {url_prefix} code in the market_url_template and an "isAlt" function was added to determine if the alt name/logo should be used
-A new freiexchange entry was added to the markets_page.exchanges setting
-Updated the README with the updated market info
-Instead of using a single file for the favicon, there are now 4 size options for a more modern favicon experience as inspired by this article: https://www.emergeinteractive.com/insights/detail/The-Essentials-of-FavIcons/
-Old default favicon file has been replaced with 4 different sized pngs
-Not all sizes need to be set. If any of the new settings are left blank or the filename does not exist, that favicon size will be skipped
-Hashrate chart is populated from get_hashrate
-Difficulty chart is populated from get_difficulty
-Added a networkhistories collection to hold the new network data
-Index sync and resync functions now check for and update network history data at the end of the sync process
-restore_backup.sh and delete_database.sh scripts now drop the new networkhistories collection
-Added a new javascript library chartjs-plugin-crosshair which adds crosshair functionality to the new chart.js line charts
-Added new settings to settings.json for controlling things like collecting network_history data, independently enabling/disabling the network charts and changing colors of various aspects of the charts
-Updated README to introduce the network charts and added a line for the chartjs-plugin-crosshair library
-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
-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
-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

-Better handling of page length options on all datatables; Page length options are now configurable and also only display options based on limits set by certain items_per_page and max_items_per_query settings
-Markets have been extended to support unlimited trading pairs for each exchange
-Added coin_symbol and pair_symbol to the markets schema to support multiple trading pairs
-Added a burned field to the richlist schema for tracking burned coin addresses
-Added a locale string for the new richlist wealth distribution "Top 1-100 Total" table row
-Updated a couple locale strings that were incomplete or needed fixing (api_getblockhash and api_getnextrewardwhenstr)
-Added a new css class to remove some redundant inline styles for the richlist wealth distribution color boxes
-Richlist page now allows better separation of the top list(s) and the wealth distribution table and chart (you can now hide or show sections as desired)
-Richlist page now allows for better burned coin support (Hide burned coin addresses from lists and totals even when the burned coin amounts are still included in the total coin supply value)
-Block page now only displays the raw block link if the api_page.public_apis.rpc.getblock.enabled settings is set to true
-Transaction page now only displays the raw tx link if the api_page.public_apis.rpc.getrawtransaction.enabled setting is set to true
-Rate limiting class has been made global and is now used to limit market requests
-getnetworkhashps rpc call now returns a '-' if shared_pages.show_hashrate is not set to true
-Searching for unsycned blocks/txs no longer saves the data locally but instead still shows the data on screen. This helps prevent syncing data out-of-order (This eliminates the need for db_index.pid which has been removed)
-Coin supply is now always taken from the stats collection database instead of from the wallet via rpc command in all cases except when syncing

-Added new configurable settings to allow displaying a "last updated date" timestamp for: index, reward, masternode, movement, network, richlist and market pages
-Affected pages are now configured to be completely hidden and disabled when their display settings are set to false
-Added /ext/getmasternoderewards which returns a list of masternode reward transactions for a single address since a particular block height
-Added /ext/getmasternoderewardstotal which returns the total masternode rewards earned for a single address since a particular block height
-Added a new "Masternodes" page which displays the current list of masternodes on the network
-/api/getmasternodelist is no longer publicly accessible and has been replaced by /ext/getmasternodelist which returns the masternode list from local collection instead of directly from wallet
-Added new masternode sync options to sync.js and sync.sh
-Added new masternodes_last_updated field to the Stats collection
-Updated delete_database.sh and restore_backup.sh to include support for the new masternodes collection
-Network header menu icon changed to allow the new Masternodes menu item to use the old network icon
-All coind + extended public api calls can now be enabled/disabled individually via settings.json; Disabled apis still work internally when disabled; The only noteworthy exception is the extended /ext/getlasttxs endpoint which is the only extended api consumed by the explorer itself, although it works to prevent outside access by default, it is controlled by http headers which can be manipulated and it's extremely likely that a savvy user could enable usage of /ext/getlasttxs for their own needs even if the site has specifically disabled that public api. More thought may be needed to properly resolve that problem, but it may also not be a big deal since it's data that is available to the explorer and in no way hidden or secret
-Disabled apis do not show up on the /info page and will return a "This method is disabled" msg if the endpoint is called
-Applied some code formatting to the /lib/nodeapi.js file
-When "homelink" setting is set to 'logo', it now first checks the "headerlogo" value and uses that value if set correctly otherwise it will failover to using the normal "logo"
-Added a sample Exor header logo
-Lots of changes to the claim address page: now supports the ability to enter a wallet address instead of always being read-only; no longer displays address information summary; updated alert text and display with better icons; initial info alert denotes current claim status when viewing an existing address; you can now show/hide claim instructions which are defaulted to hidden; Submit button changed to Claim button; Updated page text and verbiage
-Added new setting, "claim_address_header_menu" which shows/hides a new "Claim Address" header menu item
-Claim url changed from /address/{hash}/claim to /claim and /claim/{hash}
-Added additional error handling for successfully verifying a wallet address that is now known to the explorer
-Added a new locale string for the "Claim Address" header menu
-Claimed addresses now replace actual wallet addresses across all pages of the site
-Add new claim_address setting to enable/disable claiming of addresses
-Add ability to un-claim an address by signing a blank message
