- named arguments and parameters (both :named("") and => syntaxes)
- ongoing config improvements
- tons of bug fixes and other small improvements - too much to list all
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 1.6.2 (released 2007-04-18)
** Fix X.509 signing with RSA-PKCS#1 to set a NULL parameters fields.
Before, we remove the parameters field, which resulted in a slightly
different DER encoding which in turn caused signature verification
failures of GnuTLS-generated RSA certificates in some other
implementations (e.g., GnuPG 2.x's gpgsm). Depending on which RFCs
you read, this may or may not be correct, but our new behaviour appear
to be consistent with other widely used implementations.
** Regenerate the PKIX ASN.1 syntax tree.
For some reason, after changing the ASN.1 type of ldap-UID in the last
release, the generated C file built from the ASN.1 schema was not
refreshed. This can cause problems when reading/writing UID
components inside X.500 Distinguished Names. Reported by devel
<dev001@pas-world.com>.
** Updated translations.
** API and ABI modifications:
No changes since last version.
devel/p5-Regexp-MatchContext into The NetBSD Packages Collection.
The Perl 5 module Regexp::MatchContext provides replacements for
the regexp related variables $PREMATCH, $MATCH, and $POSTMATCH in
a way that only impacts the performance of matches that you specify.
These three variables are only set if the most recently matched
regex contained the special (non-standard) meta- flag: (?p).

changes:
* Text rendering is now based on the TextLine objects, each of which
contain one line of text along with font and font height. This has
allowed proper control of text width and speedier rendering.
* Visio VXD files can now be imported and exported, thanks to Ian
Redfern.
-internal API changes
* A number of new keyboard shortcuts.
* Layer visibility is now undoable.
* New sheets for Business Process Modelling
-bugfixes
Most important changes are:
- fix a crash for files with an mtime of 0
- fix cpu hog in certain requests
- added mod_extforward module
- reduced default PATH_MAX to 255
Support is added via the options framework, to use 32-bit packages
must be used "PKG_OPTIONS.suse=compat32", otherwise it will use
the 64-bit packages by default.
Known packages working are opera (does not require any change in Makefile)
and rar-bin.
Tested by some, closes PR pkg/35477 by Michai Chelaru (which provided
a patch more or less than this one).
