- Add support for any number of custom download values identified by
string keys.
d.set_custom=key,value
d.get_custom=key (returns "" if not set)
d.get_custom_throw=key (returns error if not set)
- With this patch, rtorrent will detect and complain about .torrent
files with broken bencode representation (e.g. where the order of
dictionary keys is not lexicographic).
- Choose a different poll type using the RTORRENT_POLL env. variable
(if it's implemented), probably only useful as RTORRENT_POLL=select.
- Add the commands execute_capture and execute_capture_nothrow that
work like their other counterparts but return the OUTPUT (stdout) of
the given command.
- Fixes the code that detects which peer was sending bad data. Peers
are then automatically banned after sending three bad chunks.
- Stops rtorrent from always creating and resizing ALL files, even
those set to "off". Files will still be created, but with a size of
zero, until a part of them is getting downloaded. This helps with
filesystems that don't support sparse files (such as FAT, HFS+, and
others).
- Fix inefficient piece distribution due to linear chunk request
strategy by randomizing position every few (on average 32) chunks, see
ticket #190.
- Enable custom throttles, both per-download or per-IP. See
http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/ticket/20 for info and instructions.
- Fix crashes/errors due to rtorrent attempting to pass non-utf-8
strings to xmlrpc.
- Added support for using posix_fallocate on newly resized files.
- Include locally available chunks in the "chunks seen" statistics for
completed/distributed copies. Patch by Josef Drexler.
- Added 'd.get_bitfield' command for retrieving the bitfield in hex
format. Patch by Thomas Rosner.
- Fixed include headers for gcc-4.4.0. Patch by 'kloeri'.
to version 0.8.4. Changes since 0.12.2 respectively 0.8.2:
- Fixed EINTR handling in execute command.
- Fixed a couple of memory leaks in xmlrpc.cc.
- Initial seeding support added.
- Added a work-around for the stdin kqueue bug in MacOSX.
- Numerous bug-fixes and patches.
- Work-around for OpenBSD's broken sys/event.h, which fails to compile
if it's the first (or only) included header. (Ticket #1470)
- Fixes compilation with old libcurl versions. (Ticket #1471)
- Fix compile error on systems that lack mincore(2).
- Fixes a crash in epoll due to libcurl/c-ares bug:
PollEPoll::modify(...) epoll_ctl call failed.
- Enforce an http transfer timeout when libcurl fails to honor
it. Also set a 5-minute timeout for (previously unlimited) torrent
transfers and fixes the argument type for curl_easy_setopt values.
- Allows bandwidth throttles to work without floating point support.
- Added the 'd.add_peer=host[:port]' command to manually add a peer
(not for torrents marked "private"), port 6881 is the default.
- Allows banning the selected peer with "B". No unbanning is possible
yet.
- Added system.method.{insert,erase} commands that allows
user-specified commands. E.g "system.method.insert=foo,print=Bar".
- Differentiate between commands that have no target, and those that
take generic targets, when using XMLRPC.
- Added 'event.download.inserted_{new,session}' that are triggered
when a new or a session torrent is added. Ticket #1516.
- Added 'system.method.get', 'ui.current_view.set' and 'group.insert'
commands.
- Enabled different ratio settings for different groups of
downloads.
- Added 'view.persistance' command that makes downloads inserted into
that view persist across sessions. Only call on user-created views.
- Added 'ratio.*' commands that call the 'group.seeding.ratio.*'
equivalents.
- Changed torrent::DownloadList::close_directly() so doesn't save the
session if the underlying file/directory has been moved or
removed. This change, in addition to calling 'd.set_directory=' before
'execute=mv,...', as previously shown in the examples, will make
rtorrent behave correctly when 'check_hash=no' is set.
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.
version 0.7.1. Major changes since 0.10.4/0.6.4:
- support for the CANCEL piece request message
- support for tunneling through HTTP 1.0 proxies
- Azureus-style encryption
to version 0.6.1. Changes since version 0.8.5 respectively 0.4.5 are:
- improved user interface (apparently also fixing redraw problems
under DragonFly BSD)
- better diskspace handling
- show client names and versions in the peer list
- improved tracker communication
- lots of bug fixes
Based on patches provided by Jan 'Rumko' Kosir in private e-mail.
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
