More clarifications to cryptocurrencies vs the Fossil "blockchain". check-in: 26005b81bf user: wyoung tags: trunk
19:45
Several clarity improvements to the discussion of cryptocurrencies in blockchain.md. check-in: 70523a718c user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:39
New document: pikchr.md check-in: a92365d722 user: drh tags: trunk

Greatly expanded the simple definition of "blockchain" in the eponymous doc to include more details of common blockchain implementations to draw clearer parallels. This causes our conclusion to flip around from the prior version of this doc, but it's worth keeping the doc because it serves to compare and contrast Fossil to other systems. check-in: 1ddb400886 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:19
Understand files ending in ".pikchr" to be Pikchr source text and render them appropriately. check-in: e32214a409 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-10
20:33
New pikchr.c that fixes the top and bottom margin that was lost in the previous check-in. check-in: 0ec09ea894 user: drh tags: trunk
20:24
Update pikchr.c with enhancements in text layout when using "big" or "small". check-in: b80bd64b42 user: drh tags: trunk
17:54
Merge in trunk check-in: 7803cfeff4 user: george tags: wiki-history
16:34
Add a catch-all bullet for other miscellaneous changes to the change list for 2.13. check-in: 40f0d5ab62 user: drh tags: trunk
16:32
Improved interwiki link documentation. Enhance the /intermap page so that it shows the current intermap (read-only) to non-setup users, rather than completely exluding such users. check-in: baeab56eff user: drh tags: trunk
15:52
Relax constraints on the SQL used to set up the ticket schema slightly: (1) Allow creating views whose names begin with "ticket" or "fx_". (2) Allow creating tables whose names begin with "fx_". (3) Allow data changes to tables whose names begin with "fx_". check-in: 93c45cd4e0 user: drh tags: trunk
12:05
Renamed fossil.page.wikiedit-wysiwyg-legacy.js to fossil.wikiedit-wysiwyg.js so that the excessively long name doesn't cause /dir to have, at most, 2 columns. Removed some dead code and added a tiny bit of docs. Updated changelog per forum request. check-in: a759842a7a user: stephan tags: trunk
00:01
Fix the fossil_stat() routine (broken by check-in [39a5df1fde741d08]) so that it responds correctly when the second argument is SymFILE. This is a fix for the problem described in [forum:/info/251ffc0584|Forum post 251ffc0584] check-in: 4d445ead4c user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-09
21:09
Replace the two GIF images in the www/concepts.wiki document with Pikchrs. check-in: bd9bf24837 user: drh tags: trunk
2020-10-08
14:49
Always consume the --nocgi command-line option even if it is not used. check-in: 8594e7a68a user: drh tags: trunk
08:48
Drew better analogies between Bitcoin's answer to the 51% attack and to GitHub in the new Anonymity section of the blockchain doc to show that Fossil doesn't even try to provide the sorts of behavior that allow fully anonymous contribution to a blockchain. Closed-Leaf check-in: 87b1385dac user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
08:10
Added a para to the prior section. check-in: 69e0ea54a7 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
08:00
Added the "Anonymity" section to the new blockchain doc. check-in: b357dc2b03 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
07:04
Small clarity fix in the new CAP theorem doc check-in: 8a9facbb3e user: wyoung tags: trunk
06:42
All but rewrote the Cryptocurrency section of the new blockchain.md doc to clarify the sorts of frauds each system has to prevent so that we can draw clearer analogies. check-in: 154d848d2e user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
04:11
Merged trunk changes in check-in: 95203913c0 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
04:11
Added fragment identifiers to the new CAP theorem doc. check-in: 991b089925 user: wyoung tags: trunk
2020-10-07
07:07
Removed an extraneous space from pikchrshow DOM output. pikchr command error output now prepends a newline to pikchr-level errors to keep line number comment alignment intact for the first line. check-in: c3b2671f6d user: stephan tags: trunk
06:59
pikchr_process() now makes use of the as-yet-not-public PIKCHR_PLAINTEXT_ERRORS flag to maintain control of the error output DOM structure. check-in: ce3046290b user: stephan tags: trunk
05:39
Increase maximum token size in Pikchr to 50000 bytes. Important for macros. check-in: da1ff5c2d1 user: drh tags: trunk
00:29
Removed several weak arguments from the blockchain.md doc and added a lot more info about cryptocurrencies to show the differences between them and Fossil. Tweaked much of the preexisting material. check-in: 3d55f44376 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain

Recast the blockchain.md doc as "Is Fossil a Blockchain?" (answer: mostly no) and updated all references to it to either remove the term, use "repository" instead where that's sufficiently clear, or to say either "Merkle tree" or "hash tree" instead where we need to distinguish the hash tree itself from the rest of the repo DB file's contents. This depends on the prior CAP theorem doc, since part of the argument for Fossil not being a blockchain gets us down into those weeds. EDIT: Moving it to a branch because we're still arguing the point on the forum. check-in: 855578b610 user: wyoung tags: fossil-as-blockchain
17:02
Added a new doc, "Fossil and the CAP Theorem." It distills some good info from the forum, so we can just point at it instead of recapitulating it. But it's being checked in now because an upcoming commit will refer to it. check-in: 3ddd56d0b0 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:37
Added "Restoring From An Encrypted Backup" section to the new backup.md doc. check-in: e0a38eb3eb user: wyoung tags: trunk
