aria2 1.17.1
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds large file support for Android build and libuv
support for event polling mechanism. AppleTLS now supports Snow
Leopard (10.6). The experimental libaria2 C++ library API was added.
Changes
-------
* Add code to detect rst2html.py or rst2html
* AppleTLS: Properly support Snow Leopard (10.6)
Tested on 10.6.8 + XCode 4.2 (llvm-gcc-4.2, clang)
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Enable multicast loopback in BitTorrent local peer discovery
* Enable TLS1.1 with gnutls build
* Support off64_t for Android build
Android NDK R8e does not provide ftruncate64, but bionic has the
assembler code to access kernel function. We borrowed those
ftruncate64.S files from android source code repository. It turns
out that x86 asm.h in NDK R8e is also broken, so latest asm.h was
also borrowed.
* Check zlib availability usin AC_CHECK_LIB
This is workaround for zlib 1.2.3 which does not come with
pkg-config file.
* Treat response is completed if EOF is received before streamFilter
completes
This fixes the error with web server which has buggy chunked
encoding.
* uitos: Fix off-by-one error bug
* Add configure support for linking tcmalloc_minimal and/or jemalloc
Both tcmalloc_minimal and jemalloc outperform the native malloc
implemention on Windows (MSVCRT) in terms of committed memory
consumption (~-30%) and performance (e.g. far less page faults,
~-60%), depending, of course, on the actual workload. The longer
the download queue, the bigger the impact ;)
On *nix the picture is a little different... tcmalloc usually still
outperforms the native malloc implementation, but not that
significantly than on Windows. jemalloc however is only marginally
better than recent native Linux implementations, while it is already
used by some BSD as the native allocator.
tcmalloc is part of gperftools and very mature and tested by now. It
doesn't work on OSX in the default configuration, however.
http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/
jemalloc is the default allocator at least on FreeBSD and NetBSD and
used in Firefox. http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/index.html

* Close GZipFiles in the d'tor
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Add libaria2, C++ library interface to aria2
The libaria2 is a C++ library and offers the core functionality of
aria2. The library takes care of all networking and downloading
stuff, so its usage is very straight forward right now. See
libaria2ex.cc in examples directory to see how to use API. By
default, libaria2 is not built. See libaria2 section in README to
how to enable it.
The APIs in this release is considered experimental.
* Add missing check for sigaction
* Fix cached data is not flushed when downloaded data is less than
16KiB
* LibUV: Implement LibuvEventPoll
LibUV event will use the best available polling method on a system,
kind of like aria2 does already with the different *EventPoll
implementations. However, libuv may support different/newer polling
mechanisms; for example on Windows it will use IO Completion Ports
which are superior to select() ;)

aria2 1.17.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds Mac OS X native SSL/TLS library support. The IPv6
asynchronous DNS is enabled by default and A/AAAA lookups are done in
parallel. The simple Happy Eyeballs algorithm was implemented to
mitigate long timeout when connecting to IPv6 host on dual-stack host.
--save-session option only saves the options specified by command-line
or RPC.
Changes
-------
* Updated Russian manual
Contributed by ITriskTI
* Updated Portuguese manual
Contributed by Gilberto dos Santos Alves
* Append --static to pkg-config arguments when ARIA2_STATIC=yes
* Save options directly specified for download in --save-session
This change makes --save-session save only options specified for
download, more specifically, options in command-line, -i file and
via RPC. The other options from conf file and default values are not
saved. This will drastically decrease the size of session file.
* Save URI returned only from FileEntry::getRemainingUris()
The currently used URIs are inserted back into remaining URI list in
FileEntry::putBackRequest(), which overlaps to some of the URIs in
spentUris_. If we save spent URIs, each time save is performed, the
number of URIs are increased due to this overlap. This change fixes
this bug.
* Print linked 3rd party libraries with version in `aria2c -v` output
* AppleTLS: Support credentials via KeyChain fingerprints
Contributed by Nils Maier
* AppleTLS: Implement AppleTLS and Apple Message Digest
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Use info level log for system trusted ca imports failure
This is because on some platforms (gnutls on cygwin for example),
library always fails for this function and getting ERROR every time
aria2c invoked is too hard.
* Don't add Windows native DLLs for Cygwin build
* Remove deprecated options: --enable-direct-io and --metalink-servers
* Deprecate --enable-async-dns6
The IPv6 asynchronous name resolver is enabled if the host has at
least one interface with IPv6 address configured (the loopback
address will not be counted), which is roughly the same behaviour of
the standard getaddrinfo(3). To disable IPv6 asynchronous name
resolver, use --disable-ipv6.
* Fix uninitialized UDPTrackerClient::numWatchers_
* Implement simple Happy Eyeballs for HTTP/FTP downloads
* Parallel A and AAAA record lookups with c-ares
But we don't wait for AAAA query response if A query response has
been received. If we got IPv4 lookup response, we don't wait for
IPv6 lookup response. This is because DNS server may drop AAAA query
and we have to wait for the long time before timeout. We don't do
the inverse, because, based on todays deployment of DNS server,
almost all of them can respond A query just fine.
Changelog:
aria2 1.16.4
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug that active downloads are not saved with
--save-session-interval and the bug that aria2 hangs when size of
download result exceeds its maximum. BitTorrent UDP tracker support
was added. If the filename specified using --save-session ends with
".gz", aria2 stores the session file in gzipped form. The -i option
can handle this gzipped file as well as plain text file. 1.15.2 based
Portuguese translated manual was added.
Changes
-------
* Make configure argument meaning more consistent and obvious.
Most other software uses --disable/--without for features it does
build or at least check by default.
Change aria2 configure options so that:
* --enable-*: do not build by default, unless --enable specified
* --disable-*: check and build by default, unless --disable specified
* --with-*: do not use by default, unless --with specified
* --without-*: check and use by default, unless without specified
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Allow for out-of-tree Sphinx builds
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Bring back datetime in console log
* Run checksum check if -V and -c are used and file is completed
With -c option, aria2 can continue download after the existing file
position. If it is not completed, then after completion aria2 runs
checksum checking if available. But if existing file has already
been completed, then CreateRequestCommand exits without issuing
checksum checking. And aria2 treats it download error because it
needs checksum verification but it has not been done. This change
fixes this by properly checking download state and issue checksum
checking before CreateRequestCommand.
* Support for gzipped -i and --save-session
Saved sessions may very large, as in hundreds and even thousands of
megabyte when dealing with large queues. Add support to save and
reload sessions to gzipped files, when libz is available.
The session serializer will output gzipped contents when the file
ends with .gz, while the input file reader (UriListParser) will
accept whatever is thrown at it.
Document -i/--save-session gzip behaviour
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Do not use a virtual varargs function
This stuff breaks in some compiler (configurations)
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Check for sys/signal.h and/or signal.h
mingw-w64 does not actually have sys/signal.h, while OSX currently
has a broken signal.h Better check the presence of both and use
sys/signal.h if present, else signal.h
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Hygiene: Fix some clang warnings, mostly unused private members.
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Fix bustage on OSX with ./configure CC=cc CXX=c++ (clang)
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Do not reference RequestGroups longer than necessary
There is an initial vector of SharedHandle<RequestGroup> to seed the
DownloadEngine. This vector was however kept alive via main.cc ->
MultiUrlRequestInfo up until the program exits, hence effetively
leaking all initial RequestGroups and associated object instances.
Hence, as a matter of dirty-workaround, drop the contents of that
initial vector as soon as it is not required any longer.
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Detect console with on Windows
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Fix infinite loop when size of downloadResults_ exceeds maxDownloadResult_
* Support BitTorrent UDP tracker
It shares UDP listening port with IPv4 DHT. At the moment, in order
to enable UDP tracker support, enable IPv4 DHT.
* Show correct end byte in error message when HTTP response range is not ok
Previously, unless HTTP pipelining is enabled, end byte in that
message is always 0. With this change, it shows correct end byte
sent to the HTTP server.
* Add Portuguese manual
This translation is based on aria2 version 1.15.2 manual.
Contributed by Gilberto dos Santos Alves
* Fix bug that active downloads are not saved with --save-session-interval
Changelog:
aria2 1.16.3
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug which causes random crash. It also fixes
socket option setting failure on Windows platform.
Changes
-------
* Fix failure to set TCP_NODELAY on Windows
On Windows setting TCP_NODELAY after non-blocking connect fails at
least on Windows 7.
* Fix invalid iterator handling when deleting RequestGroup
aria2 1.16.2
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug which causes long running BitTorrent
download to stall. The several new options have been added.
Changes
-------
* Check SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION is available before using it
* Fix bug returnPeer is not called if sequence_ == INITIATOR_SEND_KEY
In InitiatorMSEHandshakeCommand, when aborting connection, we must
return peer to the PeerStorage. But it is not done if sequence_ is
INITIATOR_SEND_KEY. This causes stale Peer objects whose usedBy()
returns true eventually occupies peer list and aria2 cannot make any
connections.
* Accept k and m as well as K and M in util::getRealSize()
* mingw32: Make NTFS sparse file on --file-allocation=trunc
* Added --save-session-interval option
--save-session-interval option saves error/unfinished downloads to a
file specified by --save-session option every SEC seconds. If 0 is
given, file will be saved only when aria2 exits.
* Use request URI as referer if --referer="*" is given
* Log warn if unknown option is found in config file or -i file
* Added --console-log-level option
--console-log-level option sets log level to output to console.
Changelog:
aria2 1.16.1
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds the ability to persist GID across sessions. The GID
will be saved with --save-session. There are several restrictions how
GID is persisted. See the manual for details. For this change, now GID
is 64 bits binary data and represented by 16 characters hex string in
RPC query. The disk cache feature was added, which may reduce disk
activity. The console readout was redesigned. The warning displayed
when --file-allocation=falloc is used on MinGW32 build was removed as
a bug.
Changes
-------
* mingw32: Re-open files with read-only mode enabled on seeding
On Mingw32 build, if aria2 opens file with GENERIC_WRITE access
right, some programs cannot open the file aria2 is seeding. To avoid
this situation, re-open files with read-only enabled when seeding is
about to begin.
* Save gid option with --save-session option
* Added --gid option
This option sets GID manually. aria2 identifies each download by the
ID called GID. The GID must be hex string of 16 characters, thus
[0-9a-zA-Z] are allowed and leading zeros must not be stripped. The
GID all 0 is reserved and must not be used. The GID must be unique,
otherwise error is reported and the download is not added. This
option is useful when restoring the sessions saved using
--save-session option. If this option is not used, new GID is
generated by aria2.
* Use 64 bits random bytes as GID
This change replaces the current 64 bit sequential GID with 64 bits
random bytes GID in an attempt to support persistent
GID. Internally, the GID is stored as uint64_t. For human
representation and RPC interface, GID is represented as 16 bytes hex
string. For console readout, 16 bytes are too long, so it is
abbreviated to first 6 bytes. When querying GID in RPC calls, user
can speicfy the prefix of GID as long as the prefix is shared by
more than 1 GID entries.
* Fixed BitfieldMan::getOffsetCompletedLength overflow on 32-bit systems
* mingw32: Use HANDLE only for MinGW32 build
* Changed console readout, making it more compact
"SIZE:" is removed because it is obvious. SEEDING, SEED, SPD and UP
are now replaced with SEED, SD, DL and UL respectively.
* Compact readout when more than 1 simultaneous downloads are going on
If more than 1 simultaneous downloads are going on, use more compact
format in readout. Currently, at most 5 download stats are
displayed.
util::abbrevSize() is rewritten to support "Gi" unit and provides
more compact abbreviation.
* Console color output
Log level and download result string is now colored.
* Logger: Simplified console output and change level format in log
The date and time are now removed from console output. The log
level is now formatted as "[LEVEL]".
* Start to find faster host before the number of missing segments becomes 1
The old implementation starts to find faster host when the number of
missing segment becomes 1. Because of --min-split-size option,
before the number of missing segment becomes 1, the number of
connection becomes 1 and it can be slow. In this case, we have to
wait until the last segment is reached. The new implementation
starts to find faster host when the remaining length is less than
--min-split-size * 2, to mitigate the problem stated above.
* Removed warning when --file-allocation=falloc is used in MinGW32 build
The warning was just a mistake. SetFilePointerEx + SetEndOfFile
actually allocate disk space.
* Write data in 4K aligned offset in write with disk cache enabled
This greatly reduces disk activity especially on Win + NTFS. Not so
much difference on Linux.
* mingw32: Removed FSCTL_SET_SPARSE set
* Added --disk-cache option
This option enables disk cache. If SIZE is 0, the disk cache is
disabled. This feature caches the downloaded data in memory, which
grows to at most SIZE bytes. The cache storage is created for aria2
instance and shared by all downloads. The one advantage of the disk
cache is reduce the disk seek time because the data is written in
larger unit and it is reordered by the offset of the file. If the
underlying file is heavily fragmented it is not the case.

aria2 1.16.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds SSL/TLS encryption support in RPC transport. The new
RPC method aria2.appendUri is added, which is a wrapper to
aria2.changeUri. The Content-Disposition parser is now RFC 6266
conformant. The resource leak in XmlParser, JSON and Bencode parser
was fixed. The uploaded data size calculation bug was fixed. For
MinGW32 build, files are now opened with read/write shared mode.
Changes
-------
* mingw32: Open file using _wsopen and added --enable-mmap support
I tried CreateFile but the subsequent ReadFile fails with Access
Denied if sparse file is read on NTFS. I mostly reverted previous
changes and use _wsopen with read/write share enabled instead of
CreateFile.
This change also includes --enable-mmap support for MinGW32
build. Memory mapped file may be useful for 64-bits OS and lots of
RAM. Currently, FlushViewOfFile is not called during the download,
so it is slightly vulnerable against sudden power loss. I found lots
of read when resuming download due to page fault. So for now it is
useful for the initial download. I recommend not to use
--file-allocation=prealloc with --enable-mmap for MinGW32, because
it triggers page faults even in the initial download. Anyway, the
option is experimental.
* Removed PO files and generated aria2.pot from repository
Currently, message translation is done at launchpad. All PO files
can be exported from there. The merge process from launchpad is done
when new release. First download export file from launchpad And use
import-po script to import PO files into po directory.
* Set F_GLOBAL_NOCACHE for Mac OS X
* Enabled TCP_NODELAY
* Don't use AC_FUNC_MMAP
Don't use AC_FUNC_MMAP becaue it fails on some platforms (e.g.,
OpenWRT) which have mmap and it works in the way we use in aria2.
Instead use mmap in AC_CHECK_FUNCS list.
* Added --force-save option.
--force-save option saves download with --save-session option even
if the download is completed or removed. This may be useful to save
BitTorrent seeding which is recognized as completed state. The
default value is false.
* Get the correct uploaded data size
Subtract msgHdrLen_ from writtenLength to get the uploaded data
size. Without this correction, the seeder assumes it has uploaded
more data than it actually has.
* Made --http-no-cache false by default
* Fixed memory leak in AsyncNameResolver
* Fixed resource leak in XmlParser and GenericParser
* Reset iostream format state
* gnutls: Added more status checking when verifying peer
* Content-Disposition parser conforming to RFC 6266.
RFC 2231 Continuation is not supported.
* Reworked download/upload statistics calculation
The old implementation calculates download/upload statistics for a
RequestGroup by summing up all PeerStat objects. For global
statistics, those are summed together. This clearly incurs runtime
penalty and we introduced some kind of caching which updates
statistics every 250ms but it did not work right.
This change removes all these aggregation code, and instead makes
RequestGroup and RequestGroupMan objects hold NetStat object and
download/upload bytes are directly calculated by thier own NetStat.
This is far more simplar than the old way and less runtime penalty
and brings more accuracy.
* Added --rpc-save-upload-metadata option
If true is given, which is default, save the uploaded torrent or
metalink metadata in the directory specified by --dir option. The
filename consists of SHA1-hash hex string of metadata plus
extension. For torrent, the extension is '.torrent'. For metalink,
it is '.meta4'. If false is given to this option, the downloads
added by aria2.addTorrent or aria2.addMetalink will not be saved by
--save-session option.
* Perform SSL/TLS handshake after checking whether connection is established
* Fixed bug that --enable-mmap won't work if MultiDiskAdaptor is used
* RPC over SSL/TLS transport
To enable RPC over SSL/TLS, specify server certificate and private
key using --rpc-certificate and --rpc-private-key options and enable
--rpc-secure option. After the encryption is enabled, use https and
wss scheme to access RPC server.
* aria2rpc: Added appendUri command
This command calls aria2.changeUri(GID, fileIndex, [], [URI,...])
internally.
* Don't send Proxy-Connection header field
* Don't set SNI hostname if it does not include "." for GNUTLS
* Disable SSL/TLS compression with OpenSSL
* Pause download even if download is completed
This allows to pause and unpause BitTorrent seed.
* Use execlp() instead of execl()
Changelog:
aria2 1.15.2
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes several critical bugs. It also adds new features
such as TLS SNI and CORS support. The --file--allocation option now
take another value trunc. The new option --enalbe-mmap was added.
aria2 now uses system-wide SSL/TLS certificates by default, which
eliminates the requirement to specify --ca-certificate option.
Changes
-------
* Catch exception from Socket::getPeerInfo() when pooling connection.
Socket::getPeerInfo() may fail if its TCP connection has already
disconnected. In this case, we log this error. The success or
failure of pooling connection should not affect the later execution
of the program. This bug may cause segmentation fault if
Socket::getPeerInfo() throws exception during pooling connection
after successful tracker request.
* Fixed assertion error if --retry-wait is used. In
CreateRequestCommand, if Request object returned from getRequest()
is still sleeping, CreateRequestCommand pools it back but still
holds its reference. This makes assertion error in
UnknownLengthPieceStroage::hasMissingUnusedPiece() from
AbstractCommand::execute().
* Added new file allocation method called 'trunc'. --file-allocation
option can now take new value 'trunc'. 'trunc' uses ftruncate()
system call or platform-specific counterpart to truncate a file to a
specified length.
* Use int64_t instead of off_t. Using off_t, at least, in DiskAdaptor
layer is problematic because torrent can contain under 2GiB files
but total sum of those files may exceed 2GiB limit, which makes
off_t overflow in 32 bit system without large file support. So we
use int64_t in API. We'll check the file length before download so
that it does not exceed max off_t.
* Added TLS SNI support.
* Rewritten timegm replacement function. The algorithm is based on
Python 2.7 calendar.timegm.
* Use system-wide certificates for SSL. Use system-wide certificates
for SSL. For GnuTLS it requires the latest version, 3.0.20. OpenSSL
had it for longer. This means that if SSL library is properly
configured to locate system-wide certificates store, the user don't
have to use --ca-certificate option. Also packagers don't have to
use --with-ca-bundle configure option. Patch from Cristian Morales
Vega
* Fixed base64::decode() return "" if input ends with garbage and no
padding.
* Changed default Peer ID prefix. The new Peer ID prefix is
"A2-$MAJOR-$MINOR-$MICRO-", where $MAJOR, $MINOR and $MICRO are the
major version, the minor version and the micro version
respectively. For instance, 1.15.2 release of aria2 will use
"A2-1-15-2-".
* Don't percent-decode filename value in Content-Disposition. We only
percent-decode filename* value in Content-Disposition because the
encoding is fully specified. But since filename value is not, so we
just accept it as is.
* Don't sum in-flight piece which does not intersect filtered ranges.
When calculating completed length, don't sum the completed length of
piece which does not intersect filtered ranges.
* Fixed segmentation fault when logger failed to open log file.
* Added ARIA2_STATIC precious variable to configure option. To build
statically linked aria2 binary, give ARIA2_STATIC=yes to configure,
like this:
$ ./configure ARIA2_STATIC=yes
* Use PRId64 for int64_t format specifier
* Handle the case when MINGW32 vsnprintf returns -1. MINGW32 vsnprintf
returns -1 if output is truncated. Increased buffer for vsnprintf
in WinConsoleFile and fmt.
* Added --enable-mmap option. If this option is used, map files into
memory using mmap(2). This option is experimental.
* Added CORS preflight request support in RPC interface. This change
is based on the patch from binux.
Changelog:
aria2 1.15.1
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug that prevents --bt-lpd-interface from
working. If some options sent by RPC request are not acceptable for
the download type, they are now simply ignored instead of rejecting
RPC request entirely. The aria2 RPC server now returns 4XX error code
if the request is not valid in the HTTP level. To improve packaging,
--with-bashcompletiondir configure option was added. This option
overrides where the aria2c bash_completion file is going to be
installed. All manual pages are now generated by Sphinx.
Changes
-------
* Return appropriate HTTP status code on RPC failure. In this change,
we return 404 if the request path is neither /json-rpc nor /rpc. If
XML feature is not enabled and /rpc is requested, return 404. If
XML parser failed, return 400. JSON parser failure has been handled
well in the existing code.
* Ignore unacceptable options in RPC request instead of throwing
error. This change allows RPC client to send same options for the
different type of downloads.
* Handle sockaddr_in.sin_len and sockaddr_in6.sin6_len. Check
sockaddr_in.sin_len and sockaddr_in6.sin6_len are available and
assign values to them properly. This change fixes unit test error
and most error related to getnameinfo() on netbsd.
* Removed dependency on inet_aton. Implemented inetPton as a
replacement of inet_aton. inetPton is implemented using
net::getBinAddr. This change fixes bug#3525424.
* Added --with-bashcompletiondir configure option. By default,
bash_completion file named aria2c is installed to the directory
$prefix/share/doc/aria2/bash_completion. To change the install
directory of the file, use --with-bashcompletiondir option.
* Converted README.asciidoc into README.rst
* Use Sphinx for aria2 manual page documentation. The source files
for manual pages are placed under doc/manual-src. The manual pages
are generated under doc/manual-src/$LANG/_build. The HTML version
manual page was dropped from the distribution archive.
* Fixed the bug which prevents --bt-lpd-interface from working.
Fixes bug#3520125
Chngelog:
Changes
-------
* Supported network-path reference in HTTP redirect.
* Updated bash_completion.
* aria2 now doesn't assume download has completed just because file
size matched. The only exception is zero-length file. If server
tells that file is zero-length and --checksum option is given,
aria2 now correctly checks its checksum. There is one known issue:
If downloaded file is zero-length file and .aria2 file exists, it
will not be deleted on successful verification, because .aria2 file
is not loaded.
* Fixed the bug that --checksum is not working. SFBUG#3466888
* Fixed compile error without libnettle, libgcrypt and openssl.
SFBUG#3466463
* Fixed the bug that log file is not created if there is warning
before log file is opened.
Changelog:
aria2 1.13.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixed libgcrypt version check error. Several command line
options were added. For details of each new option, read changes
below. aria2 now returns error response if RPC request parameter has
wrong type. For MinGW32 build, Unicode filenames support was added.
From this release, aria2 uses libnettle and libgmp by default instead
of libgcrypt. If you want to use libgcrypt, use configure options
--without-libnettle --with-libgcrypt.
Changes
-------
* Check libgcrypt version is greater or equal to required version.
This will fixes Debian bug#642989.
* Added --piece-length option. This option sets a piece length for
HTTP/FTP downloads. This is the boundary when aria2 splits a
file. All splits occur at multiple of this length. This option will
be ignored in BitTorrent downloads. It will be also ignored if
Metalink file contains piece hashes.
* Throw exception if parameter has wrong type in RPC method.
Formally, depending on the method implementation, this kind of
error is just ignored and parameter is skipped. Now aria2 responds
error for these cases. The required parameter checking is also
reworked along with this change.
* Cleanup log message for binding server socket.
* Recognize tab as white space before option in -i list.
* Added geom parameter to --stream-piece-selector option. If 'geom'
is given, at the beginning aria2 selects piece which has minimum
index like 'inorder', but it exponentially increasingly keeps space
from previously selected piece. This will reduce the number of
establishing connection and at the same time it will download the
beginning part of the file first. This will be useful to view movie
while downloading it.
* Added completedLength response key in aria2.getFiles RPC method
* Added #checksum help tag.
* Added --checksum option. Added --checksum=TYPE=DIGEST option. This
option sets checksum. TYPE is hash type. The supported hash type is
listed in "Hash Algorithms" in "aria2c -v". DIGEST is hex digest.
For example, setting sha-1 digest looks like this:
sha-1=0192ba11326fe2298c8cb4de616f4d4140213838 This option applies
only to HTTP(S)/FTP downloads.
* Added --hash-check-only opiton. Added --hash-check-only opiton.
If true is given, after hash check using --check-integrity option,
abort download whether or not download is complete. The default
value is false.
* Added --download-result option. Added --download-result=OPT
option. This option changes the way "Download Results" is
formatted. If OPT is 'default', print GID, status, average download
speed and path/URI. If multiple files are involved, path/URI of
first requested file is printed and remaining ones are omitted. If
OPT is 'full', print GID, status, average download speed,
percentage of progress and path/URI. The percentage of progress and
path/URI are printed for each requested file in each row.
* Added --rpc-allow-origin-all option. This option adds
Access-Control-Allow-Origin header field with value '*' to the RPC
response.
* Ignore --out option supplied in command-line if -i is used. You
can still use out option in the text file specified in -i.
* Disable SSLv2 by default and optimize memory usage.
Patch from Cristian Rodríguez.
* Added libnettle and libgmp support. libnettle and libgmp is used
by default. Old implementation uses libgcrypt as default. If more
and more Linux distributions offer libnettle linked GnuTLS, then
this change decrease library dependency against libgcrypt and
libgpg-error. The current library detection for libnettle and
libgmp is very simple, just use AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
util::generateRandomData() was written using SimpleRandomizer, thus
no external library dependency from this function.
* In MinGW32, open file with UNICODE filename and print them in ANSI.
Changelog:
aria2 1.12.1
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds RFC 6249 Metalink/HTTP support. Current
implementation only uses rel=duplicate links. --enable-direct-io
option was deprecated because of performance issue. Since recent
GnuTLS uses libnettle as default instead of libgcrypt, this release
added initialization code for libgcrypt.
Changes

* Initialize libgcrypt. We relied initialization of libgcrypt on
gnutls_global_init(), but recent change in gnutls, which changes
default crypto backend from libgcrypt to libnettle, leaves
libgcrypt uninitialized if it uses libnettle as backend(and this is
likely because libnettle is chosen by default). To fix this issue,
we simply initialize libgcrypt on our own.
* Throw exception with error message if gnutls_global_init() failed.
* Implemented Metalink/HTTP. Link header fields from first Metalink
server is utilized as described in rfc6249. We only set digest from
Digest header field to DownloadContext only when PieceStorage is
not initialized(in other words, before file size is known). After
PieceStorage is initialized, Digest header field is used to check
the value is the same in digest in DownloadContext. Current
implementation only handles rel=duplicate.
* Remove Metalink content-type after first server response. We don't
accept Metalink content-type after first server response.
* Updated Russian translation of aria2 man page. Thanks to ITriskTI
for translation.
* Fixed the bug due to dangling pointers in RequestGroup.
RequestGroup holds a poitner to btRuntime_ and peerStorage_. After
removing them from BtRegistry, we failed to set 0 to them. When
program access them, it goes undefined world, such as random crash.
We found this bug when pasuing download and valgrind warned memory
corruption.
* Added log message to clarify error for BitTorrent server socket.
* Added #deprecated help tag.
* Removed deprecated options: --enable-xml-rpc, --xml-rpc-listen-all,
--xml-rpc-listen-port, --xml-rpc-max-request-size, --xml-rpc-user,
--xml-rpc-passwd.
* Removed use of O_DIRECT because of performance issue. Deprecated
--enable-direct-io option.
* Increased the maximum number of in-flight request in BitTorrent.
* Added --log option to aria2rpc
Changelog:
1.12.0
Changes
-------
* Use ServerStat to find faster server. This is useful when several
downloads were started in parallel, but one download is slow and
the other downloads have completed. Then aria2 knows which servers
are fast by the results of completed downloads, and check the
available URIs of slow downloads to see faster server is available
there. If so, use it instead of current slow one to make download
faster.
* Added Russian translation of man page and HTML manual contributed
by ITriskTI.
* Added aria2.getGlobalStat RPC method. It returns overall
download/upload speed and the number of active/stopped/waiting
downloads.
* Added --pause option. This option pauses download after
added. This option is effective only when --enable-rpc=true is
given. When --save-session option is used and there are paused
downloads, they are saved with --pause=true so that it will become
paused state when the session is recovered.
* Abort aria2 if it could not setup any RPC server.
* Added --truncate-console-readout option. This option truncates
console readout to fit in a single line. This is default. Give
false value to this option to tell aria2 not to truncate console
readout.
* Cache and reuse RpcMethod objects.
* Allowed missing params in system.multicall RPC method.
* Added --stream-piece-selector option. This option specifies piece
selection algorithm used in HTTP/FTP download. Piece means fixed
length segment which is downloaded in parallel in segmented
download. If 'default' is given, aria2 selects piece so that it
reduces the number of establishing connection. This is reasonable
default behaviour because establishing connection is an expensive
operation. If 'inorder' is given, aria2 selects piece which has
minimum index. Index=0 means first of the file. This will be useful
to view movie while downloading it. --enable-http-pipelining option
may be useful to reduce reconnection overhead. Please note that
aria2 honors --min-split-size option, so it will be necessary to
specify a reasonable value to --min-split-size option.
* Removed unnecessary template parameter from std::make_pair call.
The patch was contributed from Dan Fandrich.
* Implemented fast file allocation in MinGW32 build. We use
SetFilePointerEx and SetEndOfFile to allocate extents. This only
works with NTFS. To enable this feature, --file-allocation=falloc
must be given.
* Only percent-encode non-printable ASCII chars(0x00-0x1f), non-ASCII
chars(>0x7f), ' ', '"', '<' and '>' for URIs supplied by user and
remote server(usually Location header field).
* Don't throw exception if Z_BUF_ERROR is encountered in GZipEncoder.
This fixed the bug that compressed RPC request failed.
* Don't save removed download in --save-session text file. Now stat
column of removed downloads in Download Results is 'RM' instead of
INPR.
1.11.2
Changes
-------
* Updated Japanese, Spanish and Simplified Chinese translation.
Thanks to all translators.
* Eliminated few seconds delay when downloads stop or pause.
* Added --metalink-base-uri option. --metalink-uri option specifies
base URI to resolve relative URI in metalink file stored in local
disk. If URI points to a directory, URI must end with '/'.
* Run batch file with cmd.exe. Quoted user command. It seems that we
have to specify the full path to cmd.exe in the first argument of
CreateProcess() to run batch file in proper manner. We first
determine the full path to cmd.exe. To do this, we get windir
environment variable and concatenate it with "\system32\cmd.exe".
* Fixed the bug that the message "Loaded cookies from ..." appears
when loading cookies from that file failed.
* Applied patch from Dan Fandrich. This patch fixes compatibility
issue when compiling aria2 on older systems.
* Support relative URI in Metalink file. If relative URI is found in
Metalink file, aria2 resolves its full URI contatenating the URI
from which Metalink file is retrieved and relative URI in Metalink
file. This feature is not available if Metalink file in local disk
is specified in command line.
* Erase user and password specified in command-line from argv. The
user and password is masked with '*'.
* If no data type tag is used in XML-RPC, treat the data as string.
* aria2-metalink option is removed. This is enabled by default already.
Changelog:
aria2 1.11.1
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug that aria2 does not work on platforms which
have kqueue() system call due to invalid timeout parameter. The
--show-console-readout option was added. This option toggles the
appearance of console readout.
Changes
-------
* Added --show-console-readout option. This option toggles
appearance of console readout.
* Fixed the bug that microsecond part of timeval overwlows in
waitData(). This bug affects platforms which have kqueue() system
call. Those systems are FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Darwin (Mac OS
X).
aria2 1.11.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds JSON-RPC interface. The JSON-RPC and XML-RPC shares
same APIs. The JSON-RPC also supports JSONP. 2 new options were added:
--retry-wait and --async-dns-server. The downloads added by
aria2.addTorrent and aria2.addMetalink RPC method are now saved to the
file specified in --save-session option. The proxy options and related
environment variables now accept https:// and ftp:// scheme. This
release fixes the bug that causes segmentation fault when unpausing
downloads in some situations. MinGW32 build now looks for USERPROFILE
and the combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH to get user's home
directory and doesn't check permission of .netrc file.
Changes
-------
* Updated gettext to 0.18
* Added JSON-RPC support. --enable-xml-rpc was deprecated and
--enable-rpc should be used instead. Similarly, --xml-rpc-*
options were replaced with --rpc-* options. We are implementing
JSON-RPC based on JSON-RPC 2.0 draft spec.
* Fixed rounding error in DownloadEngine::run(). This fixes the bug
that executeCommand() with Command::STATUS_ALL is not called in
every interval correctly because of rounding error in timer.
* Refresh buckets at DHT initialization without checking serialized
time. Checking serialized time does not work if you stop aria2 as
soon as it started DHT. The serialized time in dht.dat will be
updated, but buckets are not updated and still old. When you
restart aria2 again soon, it does not refresh buckets because
serialized time is recent.
* Save downloads added by aria2.addTorrent or aria2.addMetalink in
--save-session file. Uploaded data are saved as file named hex
string of sha1 hash of uploaded data plus extension(".torrent" for
torrent and ".meta4" for metalink). For example,
0a3893293e27ac0490424c06de4d09242215f0a6.torrent. The directory
where these files are saved is specified by --dir option. These
file paths are written in --save-session file.
* Fixed the bug that causes segmentation fault when unpause
RequestGroup which has resolved BtDependency.
* Look for USERPROFILE and the combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
to get user's home directory in MinGW32 build. Usually HOME
environment variable is defined in *nix like OSes, but not in
Windows. So in MinGW32 build, if HOME is not defined, we also look
for USERPROFILE and the combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.
* Fixed the bug that DownloadContext::basePath_ is not escaped.
* Added Date, Expires and Cache-Control response header field to RPC
response.
* Added --async-dns-server option. This option accepts comma
separated list of DNS server addresses used in asynchronous DNS
resolver. Usually asynchronous DNS resolver reads DNS server
addresses from /etc/resolv.conf. When this option is used, it uses
DNS servers specified in this option instead of ones in
/etc/resolv.conf. You can specify both IPv4 and IPv6 address. This
option is useful when the system does not have /etc/resolv.conf and
user does not have the permission to create it.
* Accept https:// and ftp:// in proxy options and environment variables.
* Fixed overflow in the calculation of progress percentage for file
allocation and hash check when off_t is 32bit.
* Accept HTTP 304 reply as success when If-None-Match request-header
field is specified using --header option. When --conditional-get
is used, --allow-overwrite is now required to overwrite existing
file.
* Added aria2.removeDownloadResult RPC method. The method signature
is aria2.removeDownloadResult(gid). This method removes
completed/error/removed download denoted by gid from memory. This
method returns "OK" for success.
* Use IP address of control connection to connect to the remote server in
FTP passive mode.
* Don't check permission of .netrc file in MinGW32 build.
* Added --retry-wait option. This option was once existed in aria2
but erased on 2009-09-20. Now it is resurrected once again. We
choose 0 as default value for backward compatibility. Now we retry
HTTP download when remote server returns "503 Service Unavailable"
if --retry-wait > 0. We also added error code 29:
HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE.
* Don't show metadata download and paused download in "Download Results".
aria2 1.10.0
============
This release adds an option to limit the number of connections to the
same host in each download. aria2 now chooses server which is least
used in aria2c instance. This release also adds Chromium cookie
support and HTTP only conditional download support which is download
file only when the local file is older than remote file. aria2 now
can handle %2F in FTP URI properly. HTTP/1.1 chunked decoder was
fixed. For Linux, aria2 uses fallocate by default if it is usable.
aria2 1.9.5
============
This release fixes the bug that causes corrupted file. It also fixes
assertion error in DefaultPeerStorage class. Now aria2 doesn't reset
referer to "" on redirect. log and log-level option can be used
in aria2.changeGlobalOption XML-RPC method. This means you can
dynamically start or stop logging and change log file and log level.
aria2 1.9.4
============
This release fixes the bug that connection reuse on FTP does not work
if FTP server changes root directory based on account. It also fixes
the bug that reading Metalink document from pipe (-M- option) does not
work when aria2 is built with expat or old libxml2(2.7.6 or
earlier). Now aria2 does not emit error if given Metalink document is
empty(no file element). The response of aria2.tellStopped XML-RPC
method now has more information: totalLength, completedLength,
uploadLength, bitfield and so on.
aria2 1.9.3
============
This release fixes the bug that aria2 cuts filename after ';' if
filename in Content-Disposition header includes ';'. It also fixes
the bug that name attribute of file element in Metalink file is not
properly sanitized.
aria2 1.9.2
============
This release adds kqueue, port_associate/port_getn and poll() support
for socket event notification to eliminate 1024 file descriptor
limitation of select() call. The bug that aria2.unpause and
aria2.unpauseAll XML-RPC method fail when -s1 is given in command-line
argument was fixed.
aria2 1.9.1
============
This release adds the ability to save unfinished downloads as text
file. aria2 can read the file with -i option on restart. This
release also adds the ability to download file from scratch when aria2
sees resume is not supported by remote server. This feature is
disabled by default. See --always-resume option for
details. --no-proxy option accepts IPv4 network address with CIDR
block. aria2 now doesn't send "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip" by
default. --http-accept-gzip option was added to toggle this behavior.
aria2 now treats lines starting "#" in -i list as comments. Several
XML-RPC methods were added: aria2.pause, aria2.unpause,
aria2.shutdown, and their families. The new exist status code '8' was
added. The bug that makes aria2 hang when system time changes while
aria2 is running was fixed on MinGW32, Mac OS X and the system which
has clock_gettime(). Several other bugs also have been fixed.
aria2 1.9.0
============
This release adds Metalink4 support and BitTorrent Local Peer
Discovery. aria2.changeUri XML-RPC method was added. It enables you
to add/remove URIs to existing downloads dynamically. The user and
password for proxy server now can be specified in command-line
separately. We refactored the code based on profiler results, so
aria2 now runs more efficiently than ever. Russian and Simplified
Chinese translation were updated.
aria2 1.8.3
============
This release fixes the bug that --file-allocation=falloc doesn't work
with single file download. It also fixes the bug that the return value
of aria2 is unreliable if error occurs before download begins. When
custom request headers specified by --header option now override
built-in headers if they have same name.
aria2 1.8.2
============
s release fixes the bug that causes segmentation fault with
--max-file-not-found option involved. Now aria2 can handle redirected
URI which is not properly percent encoded. In MinGW32 build, console
readout is now always cut by 80 characters. 'bittorrent' key is added
to the response of tellStatus XML-RPC method. The associated value of
the key is a struct and contains data retrieved from .torrent file,
such as name, announce-list, comment, etc.
aria2 1.8.1
============
This release fixes the bug that causes segmentation fault if unknown
options exist in aria2.conf file and user cannot include empty line in
aria2.conf.
Following new command line options are added: --http-no-cache,
--bt-metadata-only and --human-readable option. --dir option now
treats "" as ".". --all-proxy, --http-proxy, --https-proxy and
--ftp-proxy option accept empty string "". When "" is given, it
erases previously defined proxy.
aria2.getSessionInfo XML-RPC method was added. aria2.tellWaiting and
aria2.tellStopped XML-RPC method accept a negative integer as
offset. For example, in aria2.tellWaiting, 'offset' == -1 points last
download in the waiting queue and 'offset' == -2 points the download
before the last download, and so on. 'dir' and 'files' key were added
to the response struct of aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method. The value
associated with 'files' key is the list of files. Its element is the
same struct used in aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method. 'uris' key was
added to the response struct of aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method. The
value associated with 'uris' key is the list of URIs. Its element is
the same struct used in aria2.getUris XML-RPC method. aria2 now
returns gzip compressed XML-RPC response if XML-RPC client accepts
gzip content encoding.
aria2 1.8.0
============
This release fixes the bug that configure script fails to detect
GnuTLS library if --without-sqlite3 is given. The new XML-RPC methods
are added: aria2.getOption, aria2.getGetGlobalOption,
aria2.changePosition, aria2.tellStopped and system.multicall.
--bt-save-metadata option is added. This option saves metadata as
.torrent file. This option has effect only when BitTorrent Magnet URI
is used.
aria2-1.7.2
============
This release fixes the bug that aria2 listens wrong port in
BitTorrent/FTP downloads when --interface option is used. If
--metalink-file='-' is given, aria2 now reads Metalink file from
stdin. Magnet URI is printed in the output of -S option. DHT is
now enabled by default. DHT doesn't start while aria2 only handles
HTTP/FTP downloads. On the first torrent download begins, aria2
initiates DHT functionality. After that, DHT runs until aria2 exits
aria2 1.7.1
============
This release fixes the bug that --bt-prioritize-piece=tail is not
working.
aria2 1.7.0
============
This release adds BitTorrent Magnet URI support. 3 options were
added: the ability to bind to particular interface, disabling IPv6 and
prioritizing piece in BitTorrent downloads. In configure script, if
--with-PACKAGE and --enable-FEATURE are given but PACKAGE is missing
in the system or FEATURE cannot be enabled in the current
configuration, the script now prints error message and exits.
--http-auth-scheme option was removed since it is useless. Updated
Russian, Ukrainian, German and French translations.
aria2 1.6.3
============
This release fixes reported bugs and updates Polish, Catalan, French,
Italian, Russian and Japanese translations.
aria2 1.6.2
============
This release fixes segmentation fault error if URI to download
contains printf format string and logging is enabled. The build
scripts are updated to automake 1.11 and autoconf 2.64. Updated
Ukrainian translation.
aria2 1.6.1
============
This release fixes memory leak in HTTP/FTP download. It also fixes the
bug that the option values changed by XML-RPC changeOption and
changeGlobalOption methods are cleared. Now User-agent and Peer ID
include version number. Updated Simplified Chinese translations.
aria2 1.6.0
============
This release changes the default behavior of XML-RPC server. Now it
listens only on local loopback interface by default for security
reasons. If you want to connect to aria2c from remote hosts, use
--xml-rpc-listen-all option. The XML-RPC client sample script written
in Ruby are now included in the archive under doc/xmlrpc directory.
These scripts are licensed under MIT License. The help category tags
are now start "#" to distinguish them from keyword search. Several
help category tags were added: #xml-rpc, #cookie, #hook and #file.
--retry-wait option was removed because it doesn't work properly under
the architecture. Updated Bulgarian, Russian, Slovak and Japanese
translations.
aria2 1.5.2
============
This release fixes the bug that when the first attempt to establishing
connection fails, aria2 don't try to connect another address and a
download immediately fails. -S output was enhanced: exact file size
is now printed. For -S with torrent file, meta data such as comment,
comment.utf-8, created by and creation date are now printed. Ukrainian
and Russian translations were updated.
aria2 1.5.1
============
This release fixes linker error in unit test code on 32bit
systems. The unit test failure on mingw32 was also fixed. The file I/O
error handlings were written.
aria2 1.5.0
============
This release adds WEB-Seeding support for multi-file torrent.
--bt-stop-timeout option was added. This function stops BitTorrent
download if the download speed is 0 in consecutive given seconds.
aria2 now tries all resolved addresses to connect to remote servers in
HTTP(S)/FTP until it gets connected. For XML-RPC, two new methods
were added: aria2.tellWaiting and aria2.getVersion. The error code is
available in the response of aria2.tellStatus methods for
stopped/completed downloads. --use-head is now disabled by default
since using HEAD request causes problems in some web sites. The
behavior of -D option has been changed: If -D is specified, the
current working directory is set to / and stdin, stdout and stderr are
redirected to /dev/null. This release fixes the bug that zombie
processes are created when commands specified in --on-download-*
options are executed and the bug that http-user, http-passwd, ftp-user
and ftp-passwd are ignored when they are given via XML-RPC. Updated
Russian, Italian, Danish, Bulgarian, Japanese and Ukrainian
translations.
aria2 1.4.1
============
This release fixes the compile error without the development package
of c-ares library installed. The compile error under MinGW was fixed.
aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method now returns "uploadLength" and
"numSeeders". Ukrainian translation was updated.
aria2 1.4.0
============
This release adds XML-RPC interface and the ability to run command
when download started/stopped and the ability to save cookies. The
current XML-RPC API allows users to add http(s)/ftp/torrent/Metalink
download and change options dynamically. The APIs such as reporting
download progress, file paths, URIs and peer information are also
available. For complete API specification, see XML-RPC INTERFACE
section in man page and
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/aria2/wiki/XmlrpcInterface. The
console readout was slightly updated and now includes the number of
seeders the client has connected to. Slovak translation was
added. Ukrainian and Brazilian Portuguese translation were updated.
aria2 1.3.3
============
This release fixes the bug that --check-integrity option doesn't work
properly if a file including last piece is missing and increases
internal receive buffer for FTP in order to receive big banner.
Ukrainian, Russian and Simplified Chinese translations were updated.
aria2 1.3.2
============
This release fixes the bug that prevents certain BitTorrent downloads
from finishing and possible segmentation fault when gzip decoding is
involved and infinite loop bug if last "0" chunk-size marker is not
received in chunked encoding transfer. aria2 now supports
WEB-Seeding(HTTP-Seeding) for single file torrent. Ukrainian
translation was updated.
aria2 1.3.1
============
This release fixes the bug that aria2 wrongly determines that
specified share ratio is reached because of miscalculation of upload
bytes and the bug that upload limit exceeds the value specified in
--seed-ratio option depending on the timing of the execution of
SeedCheckCommand.
aria2 1.3.0
============
This release adds the ability to specify the output filenames in
BitTorrent downloads and the option to limit overall download speed
and dry run mode which just checks the availability of the remote
file. -i list option can now take new options: select-file and
index-out. The default behavior of sending HTTP Authorization header
is reverted back to version 1.1.2 style. The bug in
AdaptiveURISelector was fixed. You can now seed read-only files in
BitTorrent. --file-allocation option can take new parameter
'falloc'. If it is given and you are using newer file systems such as
ext4, btrfs or xfs, large(few GiB) files are allocated almost
instantly. The performance optimization has been done and aria2 runs
more efficiently.
Indonesian, Russian, Italian, Ukrainian, Simplified Chinese, Japanese,
Spanish and Norwegian Nynorsk translations were updated.
timeval's seconds are "long" rather than "time_t". Passing these
seconds to localtime_r() breaks on 64-bit platforms where those types
aren't the same. Fixes PR 40323 from Andreas Burghardt.
PKGREVISION++ as a precaution, since I patched the source.
- Added Serbian, Vietnamese, and Traditional Chinese translations.
Updated French, Simplified Chinese, and Japanese Translations.
- Added length equality test to operator== to drop a piece message
whose length does not match to the requested one.
- Fixed the bug that aria2 aborts when a request larger than 16KiB is
recieved. In this fix, if a request larger than 16KiB length is
received, aria2 disconnects the peer.
- Updated man page. Changed doctype of aria2c.1.html to manpage in order
not to replace '--' with em dash character.
- Added --auto-save-interval=SEC option. A control file(*.aria2) is saved
every SEC seconds.
- Added --dht-file-path option to change the path to dht.dat, which is a
serialized DHT routing table.
- Fixed the bug that last character in URI is not encoded.
- Fixed the bug that referer header field contains fragment. Now Request
class removes fragment part of URI and encodes it in Request::setUri()
and setReferer().
Added Turkish translation. Updated German and Russian translations.
If an error occurred with a URI, remove identical URI from remaining
URI list because it is likely that same error occurred in the end and it
is waste of time.
Added -lrt to LIBCARES_LIBS if -lrt is needed to link program with
-lcares.
Moved implementation to SimpleRandomizer.cc from SimpleRandomizer.h.
Added return value of getpid() to argument of srand() to achieve more
randomized value.
Contact tracker frequently when the number of connections are 0 and
download is not finished yet.
Moved threshold values to UTPexExtensionMessage.
Added _incoming member to Peer class and made it true if the peer
initiated connection. Don't add those peer to UTPex message.
If extended handshake is received, assign _incoming to false.
Fixed infinite loop bug in FTP when SIZE command failed.
Made files whose name ends with ".gz", ".tgz" not inflated by Content
Encoding Decoder. Removed size threshold for turning off on the fly
inflation because resulting file may or may not be inflated depending
on the file size and I think it is not expected by users.
This change fixes segmentation fault when Metalink file contains gzipped
file and its filesize is provided.
Fixed chunk checksum validation cannot detect trailing garbage data.
BUG#2074141
significant feature enhancements; it also now builds on OpenSolaris
(tested with NexentaOS by development community).
I urge all users to upgrade.
A _partial_ list of changes:
- Added and/or updated Danish, Greek, Spanish, Catalan,
Norwegian Nynorsk, Bulgarian, French, Catalan, and Japanese
translations.
- Man page fixes.
- Fixed: numCommand is less than the value specified in -C option.
- Myriad bug fixes.
- Now uses name attribute in Metalink as local filename in
BitTorrent downloads. BUG#2033999
- Fixed memory leaks in test code.
- Fixed wrong argument passing to BitfieldMan::isBitSet()
- Initialized _directIOAllowed
- Fixed memory leak in gzip decoder and metalink parser state
machine.
- Plug many other memory leaks and fix unmatch malloc/free calls.
- Removed max chunk size check. This change fixes BUG#2040169
- Fixed the bug that causes segmentaion fault when resuming
download using metalink without size tag. Reproducible only
using HTTP URI.
- Removed writable check when socket's send buffer is full in
BitTorrent downloads to lower CPU usage.
- Fixed broken gzip inflation.
Turn off segmented downloading if gzip content is smaller than
or equal to 1MiB and inflate the data on the fly, because HTTP
response header doesn't contain the length of inflated
file we can't determin where the chunk of data should be written.
On the other hand, if gzip content is larger than 1MB, then
turn off on the fly inflation, because some servers returns
"content-type: gzip" for *.tgz, *.gz files.
- Added gzip decompressor via libz.
- Cache last calculated average download/upload speed.
- Supported absolute/relative path in Location header field.
- Use File::exists() instead of File::isFile() to allow non-
regular file such as block special files.
- Added a message "aria2 doesn't verify signature" to log message
when signature file is saved.
- Added the ability to save signature when download is completed
if signature is available. The filename of signature file is
the path to download file followed by ".sig". If it already
exists, then signature will not be saved.
- Improve accuracy of documentation and rename some options to be
more descriptive of their functions/purposes.
- Added the ability to retrieve signature from Metalink file.
A retrieved signature is stored in Signature class and it is
held by DownloadContext class. Note that aria2 doesn't
verify signature.
- Added --bt-seed option. If --bt-seed=true is given at the
command-line, aria2 seeds previously downloaded files
without validating piece hashes.
- Fixed the compile error on Nexenta OS(GNU/Solaris OS).
(Don't define `struct addrinfo' when __sun is defined)
- Fixed the bug that UTF-8 encoded URL is not URL-encoded
- Properly differentiate between ftp errors and actual zero-byte
files (now supports ftp servers which do not recognize SIZE
raw command).
plus some new features.
==========================================================================
Changes:
aria2-0.14.0+1
* Fixed the code that refers static member variable from
non-static context.
Notes:
This release adds epoll support for linux and the ability to
limiting the number of files to be opened to support more than
1024 files in multi file torrent.
Several bugs in BitTorrent downloads are fixed.
From this release, aria2 downloads a file using 5 connections
in HTTP/FTP by default and the behavior of -s option has
changed. See the project web page for more details.
Changes:
aria2-0.14.0
* Changed -s options behavior. Now it means the number of connections
made simultaneously in each http/ftp download. If 1 URL is specified,
the behavior is the same with old implementation. If -s N is given
and more than N URLs are specified, first N URLs are used and
remaining URLs are used for backup. If less than N URLs are specified,
some of URLs are used more than once so that totally N connections are
made simultaneously.
* Changed default value of -s option from 1 to 5.
Also max value of -s option is changed from 5 to 16.
* Reduced CPU usage on high load.
* Added epoll support.
* Fixed compile error on debian etch. BUG#1980766
* Added --bt-request-peer-speed-limit=SPEED option.
In BitTorrent downloads, if the download speed is lower than SPEED,
aria2 initiates and accepts connections ignoring max peer cap.
* Reduced read operation for hash calculation.
* Fixed the bug that aria2 cannot respond bttrack's nat check properly.
* Fixed the bug that HTTP downloads don't start with old libraries.
* Fixed the bug that aria2 aborts when a path to a directory is given in
command-line.
* Added --bt-max-open-files option, which specifies maximum number of
files toopen in each BitTorrent download. REQUEST#1811507
* Create only requested files and files which shares a piece with
requested file in multi-torrent downloads. Directory structures are
also created in the same rule.
* When there is not enough space in disk, aria2 prints error in the
console and cancels that download. BUG#1640332
and feature enhancements--way too many for this commit message.
While here, deprecate aria2-metalink option. Aria2 now supports
building with libexpat, so we do that by default now.
Some of the more significant changes:
-------------------------------------
* Fixed compile error without gnutls/libgcrypt/libgpg-error and openSSL
installed. Fixed compilation on: x84-64 platform, Mac OSX, g++-4.3,
and without c-ares/ares.
* Added Simplified Chinese translation. Also updated the following
translations: Polish, Dutch, German, Thai, Indonesian,
Norwegian Nynorsk, Hungarian, Finnish, Hebrew.
* Changed inactive connection timeout to 120.
To accept more mulually interested peers, disconnect peer when there
is no interest between us after certain time passed.
Lengthened DNS timeout to 30. I think old value '10' will be a
little bit short when some DNS servers are offline and several
DNS servers are tried. It should be configured by
command-line option.
* Fixed the bug that prevents aria2 from stopping other than by pressing
Ctrl-C in BitTorrent download. It is reproducible using --seed-time
option. aria2 doesn't stop even after --seed-time is satisfied and
continues to output blank lines in the console.
* Added Message Stream Encryption(MSE) support.
Currently, aria2 accepts incoming connections with Obfuscation Header
and legacy BitTorrent Header and establishes connections with
Obfuscation Header first and if failed then retry with legacy
BitTorrent header. If plain text and ARC4 is provided, aria2 always
choose ARC4. The new option to change the default behavior is planned.
For tracker extension, "supportcrypto=1" is added statically.
* Added the ability to load nodes from torrent file. These nodes are
added to the routing table when downloading that torrent.
* Added the ability to stop aria2 itself when given time has passed
from start. Use --stop option to specify time in minutes.
When 0 is given, this feature is disabled.
before calling RequestGroupMan::fillRequestGroupFromReserver().
Without this modification, the result list shows "ERR" when aria2 is
stopped by --stop option. It should be "INPR".
Bootstrap through node added by port message.
Currently bootstrap is executed if the number of buckets in routing
table is 1.
* Added DHT functionality, compatible with mainline.
DHT is disabled by default. To enable it, give --enable-dht to aria2c.
You may need to specify entry point to DHT network using
--dht-entry-point. DHT uses UDP port to listen incoming message.
Use --dht-listen-port to specify port number. Make sure that your
firewall configuration can pass through UDP traffic to the port.
The routing table is saved in $HOME/.aria2/dht.dat. Request peers though
DHT only when download hasn't finished.
should automagically handle the features stuff (or at least other packages
that I look at don't seem to need this if they use autoconf, haven't looked
extensively, though). This release brings lots of bug fixes. Among
them are:
2008-01-10 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Fixed the bug that EX_TOO_LONG_PAYLOAD exception is thrown if just
payload length(4bytes) are received. This happens because
lenbufLength
is not updated in this particular case and successive call of
receiveMessage() overwrites payload length with bytes recieved which
are payload body.
2007-12-22 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Fixed the bug that causes aria2 not to finish download. BUG#1855875.
I could reproduce this bug in following procedure:
1. Stop the download at the very beginning(1% or 100KB downloaded).
2. Restart aria2.
3. You see the download stopped around 99%.
If timeout is reached, then _nextCommand is unused and it may
contains
segments and they won't be canceled. Actually, timeout is not needed
here because if the server dropped connection, then retry is made.
2007-12-22 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Fixed the bug that returns incomplete data when it contains null
character. A convenient constructor was also added.
2007-12-15 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Fixed the bug that prevents aria2 from loading cookie file when
expire
value is greater than 2^31-1. BUG#1851066
2007-12-14 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Fixed possible memory leak when an exception is thrown.
2007-12-10 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Fixed the bug: only first announce URL is tried in AnnounceTier,
in stopped and completed event.
2007-12-09 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Removed unnecessary string copy. Updated doc and corrected
indentation.
<nbconfig/config.h>. Partial list of changes:
2007-12-09 Tatsuhiro Tsujikawa <tujikawa at rednoah dot com>
Removed unnecessary string copy. Updated doc and corrected indentation.

Fixed the bug#1845750; CTRL+C does not stop torrent.
aria2 repeatedly sends stopped request when tracker returns error code.
Added a message when ctrl-c is hit.
Now second ctrl-c is also handled in signal handler.
Changed Direct/IO enable/disable procesure in file allocation routine.
Disable directIO if offset is not multiple of 512.
(~SingleFileAllocationIterator): Removed a call to disableDirectIO.
* src/MultiFileAllocationIterator.cc (allocateChunk):
Enable created SingleFileAllocationIterator's directIO.
* src/FileAllocationEntry.cc
(FileAllocationEntry): Enable directIO here.
(~FileAllocationEntry): Disable directIO here.
Fixed the bug: aria2 doesn't utilize fast set index offered by peer.
Rewritten direct I/O support routine
Fixed compile error without message digest support.
Enable direct I/O support in checksum checking.
Added --allow-piece-length-change option.
Fixed: duplicated result entry appears when exception is thrown in
RequestGroup::createInitiateConnectionCommand().
* src/RequestGroupMan.cc (fillRequestGroupFromReserver):
Add RequestGroup to _requestGroup after RequetGroup::
createInitiateConnectionCommand() succeeds.
Externalized message
Forced download abort when received negative response from http/ftp
server.
Added XML2SAXMetalinkProcessor class, which is a lot faster than
the predecessor, Xml2MetalinkParser class.
I tested them against 94KB metalink file with 1234 chunk checksums.
The new one parsed it in 22msec, while it took 6000msec with old one.
Rewritten Base64 class for better performance.
Fixed the bug#1841757: aria2 will connect to server to only get
file size.
Suppressed wrong message when finding PreDownloadHandler
Eliminated g++-4.2 warning
Fixed bug: --check-integrity doesn't work for multi file torrent.
Added direct I/O support. The current implementation uses O_DIRECT,
which is not posix standard and is tested on linux 2.6.21.
Currently only file allocation uses direct I/O.
