5665: EDK: Support compressed upload, implement file read cache (TripleM)
new options:
- ED2K_upload_compression to enable compressed upload, default true
- ED2K_upload_compression_threshold, default 2000 bytes
Size difference in bytes between one zone (180 kBytes) and its compressed
counterpart, which has to occure, to send compressed parts instead of plain.
- ED2K_upload_compression_level, Zlib compression level, default 9

5675: Updated Mozilla protocol handler to version 1.10
2007/01/08
5666: New option upload_complete_chunks (TripleM)
- default false, if true, each client is allowed to complete only one chunk,
independent, if it is empty or partial. this setting overrides
upload_full_chunks and dynamic_upload_lifetime, but is, as a failsafe,
limited by upload_lifetime (should be set reasonable high)
5664: EDK: Avoid uploading data more than due
to eMules rotating block requests (pango)
5596: EDK: New option upload_full_chunks (thx to TripleM)
- If the new option upload_full_chunks is set to true, each client is
allowed to receive one chunk, this setting overrides upload_lifetime.
Well, not exactly one chunk. eMule has this code in opcode.h:
#define SESSIONMAXTRANS (PARTSIZE+20*1024) //
"Try to send complete chunks" always sends this amount of data
MLdonkey now does the same, if upload_full_chunks is true and client A got
9728000+20*1024 bytes during the current session its upload slot will be
revoked unless pending slots are empty.
5619: EDK: Print network specific infos in command "vc <num>",
remove unneeded fields from client structures

2006/12/08
5617: New option share_scan_interval
- how often (in minutes) should MLDonkey scan all shared directories
for new/removed files, default one minute
- on slow machines raise the interval to a higher value to reduce CPU load
- to force a re-scan of shared directories use command "reshare"
2006/12/06
5613: Another longhelp cleanup (anhi)

5598: Remove use of deprecated sort module, remove unused sort2.ml* (pango)
5589: New option create_file_mode,
rename create_dir_mask to create_dir_mode (pango)
5595: EDK: Fully parse emule_miscoptions1/2
5594: EDK: If update_server_list_client true, add yet unknown server
of lowid clients
MLDonkey has a very serious bug which leeds to uploading
data blocks twice to eMule clients.
This is due to the fact that MLDonkey gets confused by
eMule rotating block request scheme.
http://hydranode.com/docs/ed2k/ed2kproto.php#upload
> Namely, eMule (and compatible) clients use "rotational chunkrequest"
scheme,
> where each REQCHUNKS packet contains one new chunk and two older chunks
> ...
> This can lead to duplicate data being sent by mldonkeys, if a rotational
> chunkrequest scheme is used when communicating with them.

How often (in hours) should a backup of the ini files be written into old_config.
A value of zero means that a backup is written only when the core shuts down.
* backup_options_generations, default 10
Define the total number of options archives in old_config.
Command save got two new parameters:
* "save all" saves options, sources and creates a ini file backup
* "save backup" speaks for itself;-)

this directory will be used, this is the same behaviour as before
* on Windows the current directory will always be used,
this is consistent with eMule
* on other systems $HOME/.mldonkey will be created and used,
this is consistent with eDonkey, aMule and Unix standards
* if variable MLDONKEY_DIR is used that directory has priority,
to simulate the behaviour without this patch use:
export MLDONKEY_DIR="." && ./mlnet

4188: Overnet: Dont put our own ID in the buckets (by Bogeyman)
This version should be more stable than the experimental version 2.5.17,
and represents a new important step towards the unification of the
different network plugins. Compared to 2.5.16, the swarming engine and the
sources management of the Edonkey plugin have been completely rewritten.
Almost all patches from Savannah were applied.
This release comes with streaming of files over PC link (for DP500
players) and over HTTP (for remote mplayer). There were some code
clean-ups, with better code sharing between Gnutella and Gnutella2
plugins, and some bugfixes.
Patches accepted back.
2004/02/10: Fabrice (version 2.5.11, tag release-2-5-11)
- New GUI protocol 24, all times in relative-time.
- Re-applied patch #2603
- ./config/configure.in: select former or new implementation of sha1
depending on the presence of byteswap.h and endian.h.
- Applied patches #2611, #2612, #2613, #2614
2004/02/09: Fabrice (version 2.5.10, tag release-2-5-10)
* Applied patches sha1, #2597, #2603, #2604
* New GUI messages:
Gui -> Core: GetUploaders, GetPending,
GetSearches, (GetSearch search_id),
(ConnectClient cid), (DisconnectClient cid)
Core -> Gui: (Uploaders num_list), (Pending num_list),
(Search search_request)
GetSearches and GetSearch allow a GUI to query for former searches and
to receive the results corresponding to a particular former search.
* New console command "disconnect <client_id>"
* FileTP:
* New option 'remote_shells' to define, for each hostname, which
remote shell to use and with which arguments (e.g. if you want
to use rsh or ssh with username@hostname or a particular port).
still no password allowed...
* New version of 'get_range' that accepts a 'rangex' argument to
send the data without base64 encoding (works for me, but I don't
know for other shells). Set the 'get_range' option to set the
path of the remote get_range command, and 'range_arg' to use
either 'range' or 'rangex'.
2004/02/07: Fabrice (version 2.5.9, tag release-2-5-9)
* Applied patches #2428, #2595, #2596
* TcpBufferedSocket: 'exec_command' only creates one TcpBufferedSocket.t
both for reading and writing.
* FileTP:
* Basic "remote shell" protocol (using ssh):
use 'http <ssh://hostname/relative-filename>' to download the file
hostname:~/relative-filename. ssh must be able to connect to the
host without password exchange. The remote host must have the
'get_range' utility in the PATH of ssh (use "make utils" to
have 'get_range' compiled with in mldonkey). The transfer rate is
not very good (30 KB/s, either because of too small
tcpBufferedSocket buffers, or because of the base64 encoding).
Note: Due to the changes in CommonSwarming, this version is to be considered
as EXPERIMENTAL on all networks, EXCEPT Edonkey & Overnet.
2004/02/06: Fabrice (version 2.5.8, tag release-2-5-8)
* FileTP:
* Basic FTP protocol:
use 'http <ftp://url>' and 'mirror <ftp://url>'
* Option 'mirrors': list of list of interchangeable url prefixes.
2004/02/06: Fabrice (version 2.5.7, tag release-2-5-7)
* New network 'FileTP' for simple file transfer protocols:
* Basic HTTP protocol:
use 'http <http://url>' to start a download.
use 'mirror <file_num> <http://url>' to add a mirror.
* TcpBufferedSocket: initial size of buffer now depends on the last
read input. might cause problems in memory until a better cache of
buffers is implemented
2004/02/06: Fabrice (version 2.5.6, tag release-2-5-6)
* CommonInteractive:
* file_cancel: removes the file itself
* Unix32:
* new function 'destroy' to completely destroy a FD, so that it cannot
be used afterwards (but it does not remove the file). Used
in CommonInteractive.file_commit and CommonInteractive.file_cancel.
* DonkeyInteractive: clients might get stucked if they tried to
upload a file that has just been commited, since the name is not
updated anymore in Unix32.rename. We need to remove the former 'file'
structure and then add a new one for the shared file, thus disconnecting
all the former uploaders (knowing them, they will reconnect asap :)).
To be done.
* Applied patches #2586, #2587, #2588
2004/02/05: Fabrice (version 2.5.5, tag release-2-5-5)
* Change in the version numbers, keep only 3 digits :)
2004/02/04: Fabrice (version 2.5.4+8, tag release-2-5-4-8)
* Bittorrent:
* New version of uploaders choice.
* Applied patches #2571, #2579, #2580 (is patch #2578 reversed ?)
2004/02/04: Fabrice (version 2.5.4+7)
* Bittorent:
* Fixed upload for seeded files, and probably some other bugs.
* Telnet interface:
* ?? display commands per category
2004/02/03: Fabrice (version 2.5.4+6)
* Applied patches #2556, #2558, #2559, #2561, #2568, #2569, #2571,
#2572, #2574
* TcpBufferedSocket: event CONNECTED is sent the first time a socket
is available for writting.
* Newgui:
* Gui_cdget: Updated some regexps to correctly query IMDB.
* Bittorrent:
* BTTracker: the tracker should work.
* New internal command "torrents" to list URLs of files in
torrents/tracked/
2004/02/02: Fabrice (version 2.5.4+5)
* New Internationnalisation format: short strings are stored for translation
in ~/.mldonkey/mlnet_strings.$LANG. The new scheme allows easy
translation of options descriptions and all other strings used
after CommonOption. Can also be used to translate the interfaces.
Unfortunately, this new scheme makes most of the former translations
obsolete, but most of them have been approximately changed to the
new format (see distrib/i18n/mlnet_strings.*, copy yours in
~/.mldonkey/ to check)
2004/02/01/ Fabrice (version 2.5.4+4)
* Applied patches #2532 (new-gui), #2535 (INSTALL.txt), #2549 (vers mesg),
#2550 (minsize shared)
2004/01/28: Fabrice (version 2.5.4+3)
* CommonShared:
Strategies of sharing can be defined in "searches.ini" (recursive or not,
min file size, extensions).
* Predefined strategies:
[all_files]: recursively all files > 10 KB
[mp3s]: recursively .mp3 < 10 MB
[avis]: recursively .avi > 500 MB
[only_directory]: not recursive, all files > 10 KB
* Strategy for incoming/ is now [only_directory].
* Format of "shared_directories" option changed accordingly: new default
directory shared/ with strategy [all_files].
* CommonComplexOptions:
file_state, file_age and file_size are saved for all networks in options.
* CommonSwarming:
functions to save and load chunks and present_chunks from options.
2004/01/27: Fabrice
* TcpBufferedSocket:
* Weak form of connection_manager, that should progressively be used to
better distribute connections among networks.
* Zlib Compression of connection is now done transparently.
* Int32ops: removed Int32 operations. int32 should be removed as many times
as possible to avoid limitations at 4GB. Bittorrent protocol does not
support files > 4 GB (check new version ?)
2004/01/26: Fabrice
* CommonSwarming: completely rewritten. No partition anymore. Better
block choice strategy. More efficient strutures.
* BTTracker:
* new directories in "torrents/":
* downloads/: .torrent of files being currently downloaded
* tracked/: .torrent of files being currently tracked (maybe seeded)
* seeded/: .torrent of files being currently seeded
* mldonkey command 'compute_torrent' computes a .torrent file for a
filename and put it in torrents/tracked/. The file is immediatly
tracked.
* mldonkey tracker can be accessed:
http://ip:6881/tracker?info_hash=.... -> for the tracker
http://ip:6881/filename.torrent -> to download 'filename.torrent'
2004/01/23: Fabrice
* ed2k_hash: new option -check <size> to compute different hashes on
a generated file of size <size> KB, to test DiskFile, SparseFile and
MultiFile implementations.
* Unix32:
* Open ALL files in RW mode by default, and fall back in RO mode in
case of error.
* New format SparseFile completely implemented.
* Unix32.rename makes the Unix32.t invalid. Might cause some bugs
when sharing just commited files (TO CHECK).
* Options:
* New EXPERIMENTAL option 'emulate_sparsefiles' in downloads.ini,
to emulate sparse files on non-sparse filesystems (e.g. FAT).
Currently only works for Edonkey files, and <preview> and
<recover_file> won't work for them.
