(christianbiere at gmx dot de) in PR pkg/19152.
Changes since 0.91.0:
* Will now verify the SHA1 of downloaded files in the background.
* New configuration parameter for the directory where "bad files" not
matching their advertised SHA1 should be put (don't forget to
configure it, as it defaults to /tmp).
* Files are now copied in the background, so it is possible to setup the
various "download" directories on different filesystems.
* Node connection time and remote node's uptime(if available) are now
shown.
* It is now possible to paste a "magnet:" URI in the search to launch a
SHA1 search.
* The "connection indicator" at the bottom left is now a toggle.
Depressing it will terminate any Gnet connection but will continue to
serve uploads and process downloads.
* The active download status now shows how many sources are available and
how many are currently active (i.e. downloading). It will also show the
estimated remaining time for the whole file, as well as the global
reception rate for the file, accounting for all currently active
sources.
* Fixed bug that prevented proper downloading from recent
BearShare(4.1.x or better) and Shareaza (1.6.0.x or better) nodes
when the SHA1 of the file is known.
* Will now protect against "PUSH floods" by banning the relevant IPs.
* At startup, scan the download "tmp" dir for orphan files and reintegrate
them into the fileinfo database, moving completed files to the relevant
directory(depending on whether its SHA1 checked OK).
* Minor bug fixing: improper countdown for push timeout when falling back,
fixed corner-case processing that could lead to crashes or incorrect
behaviour, accidental localization on X-Live-Since headers, freezing of
the GUI when clearing many uploads, obscure portability fixes.
Changes include:
* Now uses HTTP/1.1, which implies support for persistent connections.
* gtk-gnutella will now monitor whether we're connected to Internet and
slow down its connection requests when it detects the connection was
broken (after a delay of ~3 minutes at most).
* Download swarming is now supported: gtk-gnutella will download different
portions of the same file from many hosts, as long as alternate sources
are available.
* The download mesh (alternate source collection during downloads) is now
used to fill the download queue with more sources.
* Alternate locations can also be passively collected from query hits.
You can enable this in the swarming section on the download config pane.
* Download scheduling was entiretly redesigned to avoid hammering busy
hosts and scale to 5000+ entries in the queue without slowing down the
whole.
* Is now smart about the "push" flag and will try to ignore it if possible,
in case the remote host wrongly set the flag but is not firewalled.
* gtk-gnutella now remembers the files it downloaded and will ignore
further requests to download the same file. It will visually mark those
files, as well as the ones it already shares, by showing them in lighter
color in the search results.
* It is possible to supply to gtk-gnutella your own ignore lists by SHA1
and by name/size but the feature is under-documented.
* Added an "expert mode". Only when this is enabled will gtk-gnutella show
the users some of the most complex settings.
* New Gnutella statistics pane, showing the packets we sent and received,
how many we generated, and the reasons why we drop packets, by packet
type.
* Now understands UTF-8 queries, but does not generate them.
* Fixed important bugs whereby all earlier versions of gtk-gnutella were
unintentionally corrupting the Gnutella traffic!
* Moved away from the public hostcaches and now uses the Gnutella Web
Cache.
* Will now show all upload attempts, not only the ones that are
transferring. If the connection is aborted, the reason is also shown.
* New search stats types: queries by router, whole query.
* "Queries by router" shows how many queries have been recieved from any
node gtk-gnutella was directly connected to.
* "Whole query" shows stats based on the complete query string instead of
individual query words.
* New visual indications via icons in the status bar: whether gtk-gnutella
is rebuilding the library, computing SHA1 of shared files in the
background, and whether we are connected to Internet or not.
KNOWN BUGS/PROBLEMS:
* When changing the directory for incomplete/complete files, all partially
downloaded files recorded in ~/.gtk-gnutella/fileinfo will still be
downloaded to the old directory. You need to manually change the paths
in above file using search/replace and your favourite text editor.
* Sorting order of tables is not perserved across sessions.
* Marking/highlighting of results/downloads/uploads heavily depends on
your GTK theme. Especially most themes do not set fg[ACTIVE] and
fg[NORMAL] to different values.
* There is currently no way to un-ignore a file via the gui. You can
however edit the done.sha1 and done.namesize files in your
~/.gtk-gnutella directory manually. Unignoring via gui is planned for
the next release.

redefines about which buildlink.mk files would care is BUILDLINK_X11_DIR,
which points to the location of the X11R6 hierarchy used during building.
If x11.buildlink.mk isn't included, then BUILDLINK_X11_DIR defaults to
${X11BASE} (set in bsd.pkg.mk), so its value is always safe to use. Remove
the ifdefs surrounding the use of BUILDLINK_X11_DIR in tk/buildlink.mk and
revert changes to move x11.buildlink.mk before the other buildlink.mk files.
use X11_BUILDLINK_MK as a test value. Generally just reordering the
inclusions so that x11.buildlink.mk comes before the other buildlink.mk
files will make everthing work.
which takes entries of the format <make-definition-name>=<pkgname>. This
has not been added to MAKEFLAGS because (a) premature optimisation is the
root of all evil, and (b) because the .for loop used to implement this
shows the wrong results when multiple prefices are evaluated.
Modify all the package Makefiles to use EVAL_PREFIX, thereby simplifying
them considerably.
ALso simplify the logic to calculate the prefix as well.
package's prefix would not work as part of the environment specification
via MAKE_ENV (as it would not be executed in the correct directory).
Fix this by invoking pkg_info(1) directly, not via an intermediate make(1)
step - this is not as clean, but more effective (i.e. it works).
a bit more user-friendly.
Introduce a show-{gtk+,imlib,kdebase,qt1,qt2,xpm}-prefix target in
bsd.pkg.mk, and use "${MAKE} show-*-prefix" in package Makefiles.
xpkgwedge once, before any other packages have been installed, and
never to delete it. This change finds the prefix of the installed
pre-req package using pkg_info(1), and allows packages to be found in
${X11BASE} and ${LOCALBASE}, not just ${X11PREFIX} - from mail from
Dave Sainty <dave@dtsp.co.nz>, munged slightly by myself.
in preference to X11BASE when trying to find the installed location of
X11 libraries, programs and headers (which will change if xpkgwedge is
installed).
[X11BASE reflects the location of the X11 libs, headers and programs.
X11PREFIX reflects the installed location of X11 packages.]
- All C++ style comments have been replaced by C style comments
- Incoming connections are now accepted again (lame bug created in 0.11 fixed)
- Slashes are replaced by backslashes in downloaded files names
- Downloaded files are no more created before we actually receive data for them
- Queued downloads can now be reordered by drag and drop
- Queued downloads can now be started at any time (using right mouse button on
them)
- Active downloads can now be forced to push mode, moved back to the queue,
or killed (with the output file removed) using right mouse button on them
- Preferences and configuration are now saved in a directory instead of a
single file. You can choose the path of the directory to be used by setting
the GTA_GNUTELLA_DIR environment variable before running gtk-gnutella.
By default it will be ~/.gtk-gnutella/
- Estimated TR (Time Remaining) is displayed while downloading files
- Catched hosts are now saved in clear text in a separate file:
GTA_GNUTELLA_DIR/hosts
- Catched hosts can be imported from and exported to any text file (using
right mouse button on the gnutella host catcher)
- Gtk-Gnutella should now compile (using gcc) and run on more processors
- A few memory leaks removed, but some remain (I don't know where yet)
- Serious bug that made Gtk-Gnutella send garbage when the sendqueue for slow
nodes excedeed 1024 bytes has been fixed
- Completed download files are now moved to a different directory, that can be
choosen in the config screen
- Gtk-Gnutella now remembers the position and the size of the window
- Automatic sorting of search results can be stopped by right clicking in the
search results list (GTK doesn't seem to handle well auto sorting)
