Summary0011098: The COIN-gate kills your Exchange
DescriptionOnce upon a time, a 'cosmetic change' meant to stick to the original spec broke havoc to custom Exchanges, leaving them unable to reissue new coin denominations.

The affected program, taler-harness, is used to generate coin denomination configuration files, per the Exchange Operator Manual.

As the actual coin denominations moved from `COIN-' to `coin_', the database becomes inconsistent and unrecoverable without some voodoo intervention catching all affected configuration section names, effectively rendering the Exchange inoperative.
