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.

BUILDLINK_PREFER_PKGSRC
This variable determines whether or not to prefer the pkgsrc
versions of software that is also present in the base system.
This variable is multi-state:
defined, or "yes" always prefer the pkgsrc versions
not defined, or "no" only use the pkgsrc versions if
needed by dependency requirements
This can also take a list of packages for which to prefer the
pkgsrc-installed software. The package names may be found by
consulting the value added to BUILDLINK_PACKAGES in the
buildlink[23].mk files for that package.
