Changes between 0.11.7 - 0.11.8:
giftd 0.11.8:
* Shares are now keyed by pathname instead of by hash. (Hashes
weren't guaranteed to exist, could collide for identical files,
and no lookup function was provided in any case).
* Handle syncing properly. Share objects are no longer freed
without letting plugins know, and plugin-specific data is no
longer leaked.
* ImageMagick support removed and replaced by Jef Pokanzer's
image_size. This fixes a multitude of problems related to
dependencies, performance, stability and security.
* The --index-only option no longer tries to bind to the interface
port.
* Avoid aborting on transfers >=2Gb. Such transfers still don't
work, though, but this is a stdio limitation and cannot be portably
solved.
giftd 0.11.7:
* Filter LOCATE requests so that they are not delivered to protocol plugins
which do not have a registered hash handler for the hash type being
searched for.
* Preserve extension when renaming downloaded files because the file name
is already used.
* Removed requirement for state files having leading dot on Windows.
* Fixed bug which prevented completed dir from being shared if no sharing
root was set.
* Added meta data extraction for bittorrent files.
* Added check to not share incoming dir if not specifically allowed by
config.
* Fixed some bugs which could lead to shares db corruption.
* Added saving of download paused state across restarts.
libgift 0.11.8.1:
* Fixed a serious bug in TCP buffering introduced in 0.11.8.
libgift 0.11.8:
* The SI suffixes k, M and G multiply configuration values by 2^10,
2^20 and 2^30 respectively.
libgift 0.11.7:
* Fixed VA_COPY bug in strobj which led to crashes on AMD64 (possibly other
platforms?)
* Fixed fd leak in platform_child() implementation.
* Fixed a bug where we possibly send SIGTERM to random processes
in platform_cleanup().
libgiftproto 0.11.8:
* Synchronized the version to match giftd.
libgiftproto 0.11.7:
* Synchronized the version to match giftd.
What is giFT, you ask? giFT is a modular daemon capable of abstracting the
communication between the end user and specific filesharing protocols
(peer-to-peer or otherwise). The giFT project differs from many other similar
projects in that it is a distribution of a standalone platform-independent
daemon, a library for client/frontend development, and our own homegrown
network, OpenFT.
