aria2 1.4.1
aria2 1.5.0
===========
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the compile error without the development package
of c-ares library installed. The compile error under MinGW was fixed.
aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method now returns "uploadLength" and
"numSeeders". Ukrainian translation was updated.
This release adds WEB-Seeding support for multi-file torrent(in other
words, integrating BitTorrent downloads with HTTP(S)/FTP). aria2 now
tries all resolved addresses to connect to remote servers in
HTTP(S)/FTP until it gets connected. aria2.tellWaiting XML-RPC method
was added to get the download entries in the waiting queue. The
behavior of -D option has been changed: If -D is specified, the
current working directory is set to / and stdin, stdout and stderr are
redirected to /dev/null. --use-head is now disabled by default since
using HEAD request causes problems in some web sites.
--bt-stop-timeout option was added. This function stops BitTorrent
download if the download speed is 0 and the number of seeder is 0 in
consecutive given seconds.
Changes
-------
* Documented missing seeder in getPeers xml-rpc method.
* Disabled --use-head option by default because --use-head=true
causes problems on some web sites.
* Added uploadLength and numSeeders to the response of tellStatus
xml-rpc method.
* Print URL List in -S option for torrent.
* Added missing #ifdef ENABLE_ASYNC_DNS guard.
* Added --bt-stop-timeout=SEC option. This function stops BitTorrent
download if the download speed is 0 and the number of seeder is 0
in consecutive SEC seconds. By default, this function is disabled.
* Added fork() emulation using CreateProcess() in MinGW
* Throw exception if file path doesn't exist in FTP URL.
* Try all available addresses returned by DNS until it gets connected
in HTTP(S)/FTP download
aria2 1.4.0
===========
* Don't print "No files to download." message if -S is given.
Release Note
------------
* Added support of WEB-Seeding for multi-file torrent.
This release adds XML-RPC interface and the ability to run command
when download started/stopped and the ability to save cookies. The
current XML-RPC API allows users to add http(s)/ftp/torrent/Metalink
download and change options dynamically. The APIs such as reporting
download progress, file paths, URIs and peer information are also
available. For complete API specification, see XML-RPC INTERFACE
section in man page and
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/aria2/wiki/XmlrpcInterface. The
console readout was slightly updated and now includes the number of
seeders the client has connected to. Slovak translation was
added. Ukrainian and Brazilian Portuguese translation were updated.
* Added tellWaiting XML-RPC method.
Changes
-------
* The default value of --dir option is the absolute path to the
current directory. If getcwd() is failed, then it is ".", which is
the same value with old implementation. This change is necessary
because after daemon() call, the current working directory is
changed to /.
* Added Slovak translation. Updated Ukrainian and Brazilian Portuguese
translation. Thanks to all translators.
* Use name.utf-8 and path.utf-8 key in higher priority than name and
path key respectively when persing .torrent file.
* Added --xml-rpc-max-request-size option to limit the size of XML-RPC
request.
* Since upcoming libgnutls 2.8 doesn't have libgnutls-config, Check
presence of libgnutls using pkg-config first. If it fails, fall back
to old macro libgnutls.m4.
* Added --save-cookies option.
* Added the ability to execute command when download starts and
stops. You can also specify command for particular cases such as
complete/error download. Added --on-download-start,
--on-download-stop, --on-download-complete and --on-download-error
option.
* Abbreviated KiB/s to KiBs and its precision decreased to 1 to save
space in console readout. Also they are now shown in MiB/s if speed
> 1024KiB/s.
* Added SEED to console output, which represents the number of seeders
currently the client is connecting to.
* Added source filename(__FILE__) and line number(__LINE__) to
exception message.
* Fixed the bug that POU peers are never choked in seeding.
* DownloadResult now has the list of FileEntry. The download summary
displays the path of first selected file and the number of remaining
files for multi-file torrent.
* Added BASIC authentication for XML-RPC. Added --xml-rpc-user and
--xml-rpc-passwd option.
* Added XML-RPC interface. See complete API specification at
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/aria2/wiki/XmlrpcInterface
* Removed --enable-http-server and --http-server-listen-port options.
Added --enable-xml-rpc and --xml-rpc-listen-port instead. The
original feature for --enable-http-server that reports download
progress in HTML was officially removed. Persist XML-RPC connection
if client supports keep-alive.
* Added more options that can be specified in -i list and xml-rpc
add* command. See Input File in aria2c man page.
* Call daemon() with arguments(0,0), which means daemon() changes
current working directory to / and redirects stdin, stdout and
stderr to /dev/null.
