- Omit docs because it requires wip/docbook2X.
megatools 1.10.3 - 2018-08-??
=============================
This release introduces new features.
Improvements:
- Megatools now install a single `megatools` executable, where former
`megaXYZ ...` commands now have to be executed as `megatools XYZ ...`.
- Implemented PKP (public key pinning for mega.nz's API server). Megatools
no longer use public certificate authorities to verify API server's
authenticity. If you use software that MITM's your web traffic, megatools
will not allow this anymore.
pkgsrc changes:
- Adjust CATEGORIES to just `net'
- Remove dependency to glib-networking, it does not seem no longer
needed
- Remove no longer needed PKGCONFIG_OVERRIDE
Discussed with MAINTAINER, thanks Aleksej!
Changes:
megatools 1.10.2 - 2018-07-31
=============================
This is a bugfix release. This release was sponsored by donations to fix
large file downloads and improve download robustness after recent mega.nz
API change. Thank you!
Fixes:
- Actually fix connection dropping when downloading big files
Improvements:
- Add DNS resolution cache sharing accross all cURL handles
- Increase receive buffer size to 256kB
megatools 1.10.1 - 2018-07-27
=============================
This is a bugfix release + one feature addition by del1a.
New features:
- Allow to interactively choose which files to download from a public folder via
megadl --choose-files
Fixes:
- Connection dropping when downloading big files
- Compatibility with older libcurl releases
- Fix occasional crashes when starting transfer worker threads
- Fix clang compatibility
megatools 1.10.0 - 2018-07-22
=============================
This release contains new features and optimizaions.
New features/optimizations:
- Chunked upload using up to 16 concurrent connections. Remember, more is not
always better.
- Improved upload stability. When mega drops or hangs the data connection,
megatools will simply restart the upload of the chunk of data that got lost.
- 5x AES enryption/decryption speed increase for uploads and downloads. Now
it's possible to max out a gigabit connection on a cheap Intel based VPS.
- Improved progress reporting wih a summary of the average speed at the end.
- You can use --debug http to see all HTTP requests and connections, for
debugging connection isues.
- Error 509 is reported with explanation.
- Implemented automatic resume for interrupted downloads. Megatools now
writes data to a temporary file and renames it to the target name, when the
download is fully completed. This way you'll notice that download was
interrupted by CTRL+C and megatools will not leave half finished work behind.
- Add contributed bash auto-completion file by albaldi #368
- Add support for authenticated downloads of exported files using megadl #298
(So that your account download quota is used instead of public quota.)
- Add Upload section and CreatePreviews setting into rc file. Add --enable-previews
option.
- Add support for megals --print0|-0
Fixes:
- Upload hangs at 100% #366#360#365
- Don't send tetrminal escape sequences, when redirecting stdout.
- Fix comments syntax in megarc man page #359
- Use glib's variants of PRIu64, fixes#328
- megadl doesn't use account session when downloading folder links #304
- Skip symlinked folders when uploading in megacopy #262
- Turn on TCP keepalive probes in CURL #271
- Fix socks proxy support in megareg (it was not enabled correctly) #287
- Fix OpenSSL 1.1 compatibility #263
- Fix compiling against libressl
- Fix b64_aes128_cbc_encrypt_str string length handling #242
- Minor docummentation updates/fixes
Credits:
- Thanks to ERap320, megatools is also available on Chocolatey (see gihub issue
#347) (If you want to verify origin of the binaries, because they are not
distributed in the officialy signed zip file)
- Thanks to christarazi, megatools supports downloading specific sub-nodes of
a public folder. (#254)
Thanks also go to all other contributors for improving documentation, reporting
bugs and testing.
