HUGE eIquidus explorer update v1.100.0 released after more than a year of development!

Truth-be-told the last version was bumped all the way to v1.99 thinking that v2.0 was right around the corner, but there's still a few necessary changes to be made before the v2.0 release. This release is very stable, and as always, it is compatible with a large number of bitcoin-clones for those that are needing a simple yet powerful open-source block explorer for their own coin: https://github.com/team-exor/eiquidus

Notable changes since v1.99.0:

  • Rewrote a number of internal scripts to allow for better cross-platform support (now supports Windows, MacOS, Linux)
  • Added TLS/SSL support
  • Added support for bitcoin P2PK scripts/txes
  • Added full zksnarks tx support
  • Added 2 new network charts (Hashrate and Difficulty)
  • Added support for newer (deterministic) Dash masternode format
  • Added new update script to A) grab the latest code form github, B) update all dependencies, and C) run the database initialize function to ensure new changes take effect immidiately
  • Added new npm scripts to make syncing and running other explorer tasks easier, without needing to remember longer command syntax
  • Bootstrap was upgraded to v5.1.3 which required tons of changes to the UI. Many little UI problems have been resolved
  • Bootswatchs themes have all been upgraded to support bootstrap v5.1.3 + 4 new themes were added (Morph, Quartz, Vapor and Zephyr)
  • Fixed + formatted date/time values across the entire site using Luxon
  • Support for virtually any market pair instead of assuming/forcing market is paired with BTC
  • All pages updated to include options for displaying a configurable page header with title, image (with optional flip/spin animation), description and in some cases a last updated date
  • Added a new setting to decode tx OP_RETURN values
  • Added new settings to hide/show panels on each page
  • Added locks to all sync processes (blocks, markets, peers, masternodes) as well as "create backup", "restore backup" and "delete database" functions. This helps prevent problems with syncing data while a backup is in progress for example
  • The code to initialize certain database collections on startup was moved into database.js and is now called from restore_backup.js and delete_database.js. This effectively allows the database to be deleted or restored to a completely different backup while the explorer is still running
  • Many layout and UI improvements such as more consistent hover effects on most tables and more readable text across all themes
  • TONS of misc fixes and changes for an overall better experience
