A list of changes is not available unfortunately. But the update seems
to prevent crashes with a message like this one:
rtorrent: Read past initial payload after incoming encrypted handshake
to version 0.8.9. Changes since version 0.12.6 respectively 0.8.6:
- Added multithreading support for XMLRPC calls. Sponsored by Xirvik.
- Discard dht cache if it is corrupt, instead of killing rtorrent.
- Better handling of resume after crash/reboot alliviating the need to
full hash checks. Sponsored by anonymous source.
- Added support for Linux's fallocate and Darwin's
fcntl(...,F_PREALLOCATE,...) to preallocate files by default. The
'system.file_allocate' setting will now only be used to indicate you
want posix_fallocate called, which may block while it zeros out the
file manually.
- Added 'event.download.hash_failed' and 'event.download.hash_final_failed'.
- Cleaning up command names. The deprecated commands will be redirected.
- Renamed 'system.method.*' to 'method.*'.
- Added 'system.files.{opened,closed,failed}_counter' commands.
- Added xmlrpc calls for peer snubbed, banned and disconnect.
- Added '-D' flag which turns of redirects for deprecated commands.
Use this to ensure your scripts/webui's will be compatible with future
releases.
- Added separate '-I' and '-K' switches for command redirects, the
former is for testing rtorrent code, the latter for webui's.
- Added a static_map implementation based on Josef's patches.
- Commited the DHT changes from dht-pex-static_map.diff with changes
so it works with the modified static_map implementation.
- Applied the magnet-uri patch.
- Don't install the out-of-date man page.
- Added 'execute.*.bg' commands for non-blocking calls. Always returns 0.
- Added support for prioritizing first/last chunk of files matching
specified patterns. Default:
file.prioritize_toc.set=0
file.prioritize_toc.first.set = {*.avi,*.mp4,*.mkv,*.gz}
file.prioritize_toc.last.set = {*.zip}
- Added 'method.rlookup' and 'method.rlookup.clear' commands for looking
up the event handlers holding a specified key, and set views to support
rlookup.
- Added 'd.timestamp.finished' that is set when a downloading torrent
completes. For torrents that only seed it remains '0'.
- Added 'elapsed.{less,greater}' for checking the time elapsed since a
time is less/greater, and it also returns false in all cases where
the time is '0'.
- Moved the default value for 'system.files.max_size' to rtorrent, and
set the default in libtorrent to ~0.
- Increased the default values for min/max_peers and max_uploads.
- Fixed a bug that would cause hash checking to block excessively in some
cases.
- Fixed a bug when setting the pex flags.
- Fixed an issue where DHT's hashing function for TR1 unordered_map was
casting unaligned size_t pointers.
- Fixed default session name.
- Added a missing inline that could cause linking errors.
to version 0.7.9. Changes since 0.11.8 respectively 0.7.8:
- Improved detection of unnecessary handshakes to decrease the load when
using PEX.
- Limit the number of PEX connections to 8 per download.
- Fixed several bugs in PEX.
- Fixed several sigc++ 2.1 compile errors.
- Print to the log when close_on_diskspace gets triggered.
This is not a stable version. The update was however necessary after
the premature update of the "libsigc++" package which broke the build
of these packages.
to version 0.7.4. Changes since versions 0.11.1 and 0.7.1 respectively:
- Added "max_open_http" option that limits the max number of simultaneous
http connections. By default set to 32.
- Directory structured view of the file list. The '/' key collapses
directories, while the right arrow or ^F enters the selected directory.
Changing the priority for a directory changes all contained files.
- Added "create_link" and "delete_link" options which apply to a download.
These must be used with the new "on_*" options, so as to allow you to
create symbolic links when starting, stopping, finishing, etc, a torrent.
- The "tos" option was parsing the hex value with unit == 0, which caused
it to always zero it.
- Forgot to check if there were any torrents hashing before starting new
non-fast-resume checks, which would cause multiple torrents to be hashed
at once.
- File progress is now updated when hash_check is called, and no longer
cleared on close. This fixes a bug with >100% file progress being reported
and optimizes file progress updating for completed torrents.
- Disabled IPv6 http requests so the trackers won't think we support it,
and enabled curl's support for gzip encodings.
- Added 'seeding' view on key 8.
- Added "max_{up,down}loads_{div,global}" options. See the man page for
more information.
- Added support for dvorak keyboard layout. Patch by matled at gmx.net.
- The STOPPED request was being canceled when a download was closed with
f.ex ^K, moved it so it only happens when the download is removed.
- Allow properly quoted and escaped arguments to options. F.ex "schedule
= wd,10,10,load_start=~/Foo\ Bar/*.torrent" and "schedule =
wd,10,10,load_start="~/Foo Bar/*.torrent"" now works.
- Added unlimited setting for max unchoked in ChokeManager and made it
the default. Set with 0 as a temporary hack.
- Don't resize empty files used for creating directories.
to version 0.4.5. Changes since 0.8.3 respectively 0.4.3:
- Bind udp and http tracker requests to the address given with the "bind"
option.
- Change the priority of a torrent with the '+' and '-' keys.
- The schedule option allows clock time for the start and interval
sections.
- Made it safe to remove torrents being viewed/selected, making
"remove_untied" usable.
- Added the ^O key to change a closed torrent's destination directory. A
bit of a hack, and only works if the torrents hasn't been activated.
- Allow new settings to be applied with the ^P key. This can be tested
with "print = foobar", which prints the string to the log.
- Added the "working_directory" option that calls 'chdir' for the process.
- Fixed a bug that caused crashes with small screen sizes.
- Enabled a session lock file by default. Made it remove stale locks
if the hostname matches and the process id is not running.
- Added proper abstraction for creating timers from seconds, this
fixes some overflow bugs when scheduling tasks like tracker timeouts.
- For every time all the trackers in the list has been unsuccessfully
tried, increase the timeout by 20 seconds.
- Expand ~ in paths in the client. This should cover all uses of file
paths, but I might have missed some.
- Added "import" and "try_import" options that loads an option
file. The latter silently fails on non-existent files.
- Added "-O" flag that takes a single option, allowing ',' to be used.
version 0.4.3. Changes since 0.7.6/0.3.6:
- New throttle implementation
- Improved config file parser
- Settings for using a http proxy and changing the process's umask.
- Many more bug fixes and improvements
