* Cleanup log message for binding server socket. * Added --stop-with-process=PID option. This feature stops

aria2 process is forked from a parent process. The parent process
can fork aria2 with its own pid and when parent process exits for
some reason, aria2 can detect it and shutdown itself. The code
which detects whether or not given process PID is running is
contributed by Emmanuel Engelhart.
* Recognize tab as white space before option in -i list. * Support IPv6 address for FTP via HTTP tunneling.
* Added geom parameter to --stream-piece-selector option. If 'geom' * The previous implementation could not handle the situation when

* Added completedLength response key in aria2.getFiles RPC method * Changed format of ETA. Now no leading 0 is used. If hour part
and/or min part is non-zero, and sec part is 0, sec part is
omitted, like this "1h3m".
* Added #checksum help tag. * Rewritten Metalink XML parser. Now we don't strip white spaces

only to HTTP(S)/FTP downloads.

first requested file is printed and remaining ones are omitted. If
OPT is 'full', print GID, status, average download speed,
percentage of progress and path/URI. The percentage of progress and
path/URI are printed for each requested file in each row.

and more Linux distributions offer libnettle linked GnuTLS, then functions.
this change decrease library dependency against libgcrypt and
libgpg-error. The current library detection for libnettle and
libgmp is very simple, just use AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
util::generateRandomData() was written using SimpleRandomizer, thus
no external library dependency from this function.
* In MinGW32, open file with UNICODE filename and print them in ANSI. * For waiting or paused downloads, the options listed in Input File
subsection in man page are available in aria2.changeOption RPC
method, except for following options: dry-run, metalink-base-uri,
parameterized-uri, pause and piece_length.
* Made --download-result, --save-session, --server-stat-of and
--save-cookies option available in aria2.changeGlobalOption. In
addition to them, the options listed in Input File subsection in
man page are also available, except for following options:
checksum, index-out, out, pause and select-file.
* Made --uri-selector option available in -i list.
* Support IPv6 literal address in proxy option.
* Support IPv6 CIDR block in --http-no-proxy option.
* HttpProxyOptionHandler: Enclose hostname with square brackets if
hostname is IPv6 numeric address.
