aria2 1.17.1
|
||||
aria2 1.18.0
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
Release Note
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds large file support for Android build and libuv
|
||||
support for event polling mechanism. AppleTLS now supports Snow
|
||||
Leopard (10.6). The experimental libaria2 C++ library API was added.
|
||||
This release changes the default disk cache size to 16 MiB. To change
|
||||
the default size, --with-disk-cache configure option was added. Now
|
||||
used URIs are also saved by --save-session option. The control file is
|
||||
now always saved if --force-save is given. The ctrl-c handling on
|
||||
Mingw build was improved. The internal intl library is no longer
|
||||
supplied. From this release, C++11 compiler is required to build aria2
|
||||
executable. For gcc, at least 4.6.3 is required.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* Add code to detect rst2html.py or rst2html
|
||||
* Use AM subdir-objects
|
||||
|
||||
* AppleTLS: Properly support Snow Leopard (10.6)
|
||||
Doing so in AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE seems to be the most compatible way of
|
||||
doing so.
|
||||
|
||||
Tested on 10.6.8 + XCode 4.2 (llvm-gcc-4.2, clang)
|
||||
Closes GH-120
|
||||

|
||||
* AM_SILENT_RULES([yes]) with backwards-compatiblity
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable multicast loopback in BitTorrent local peer discovery
|
||||
Supported since automake-1.11. There is no point in having the very
|
||||
verbose compile stuff running about, which cannot even silenced
|
||||
properly with `make -s` by default. Otherwise, `make V=1` or
|
||||
`--disable-silent-rules` are your friends
|
||||
|
||||
* Enable TLS1.1 with gnutls build
|
||||
* Fix automake-1.14 am_aux_dir
|
||||
|
||||
* Support off64_t for Android build
|
||||
AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS will cause AC_PROG_CC, which is overridden
|
||||
by automake-1.14, which will then init (part) of automake, in
|
||||
particular am_aux_dir expansion, which in turn relies on ac_aux-dir,
|
||||
which is not initialized at this point, and thus: certain doom (or
|
||||
fun, depending on your POV and mood :p)
|
||||
|
||||
Android NDK R8e does not provide ftruncate64, but bionic has the
|
||||
assembler code to access kernel function. We borrowed those
|
||||
ftruncate64.S files from android source code repository. It turns
|
||||
out that x86 asm.h in NDK R8e is also broken, so latest asm.h was
|
||||
also borrowed.
|
||||
Hence call AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS only after
|
||||
AM_INIT_AUTOMAKE. This, of course, caused a lot of related macro
|
||||
shuffling.
|
||||
|
||||
* Check zlib availability usin AC_CHECK_LIB
|
||||
Tested against automake-1.10 (OSX Lion/XCode version) and
|
||||
automake-1.14 (homebrew version)
|
||||
|
||||
This is workaround for zlib 1.2.3 which does not come with
|
||||
pkg-config file.
|
||||
* Require external gettext for --enable-nls
|
||||
|
||||
* Treat response is completed if EOF is received before streamFilter
|
||||
completes
|
||||
And stop using the internal flavor with ./intl
|
||||
|
||||
This fixes the error with web server which has buggy chunked
|
||||
encoding.
|
||||
* Make AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 test for -stdlib=libc++ via std::shared_ptr
|
||||
|
||||
* uitos: Fix off-by-one error bug
|
||||
The clang shipped with OSX XCode and clangs not build enabling
|
||||
libcpp, will default to the libstdc++ headers and lib installed on
|
||||
the system. In the OSX case, that libstdc++ is the one bundles with
|
||||
gcc-4.2, which is far too old to provide all required C++11 types,
|
||||
such as std::shared_ptr. Hence, the C++11 check should try to
|
||||
compile a program with a C++11 type and try -stdlib=libc++ if the
|
||||
default lib fails to compile said program.
|
||||
|
||||
* Add configure support for linking tcmalloc_minimal and/or jemalloc
|
||||
* Make the configure check for C++11 compiler mandatory
|
||||
|
||||
Both tcmalloc_minimal and jemalloc outperform the native malloc
|
||||
implemention on Windows (MSVCRT) in terms of committed memory
|
||||
consumption (~-30%) and performance (e.g. far less page faults,
|
||||
~-60%), depending, of course, on the actual workload. The longer
|
||||
the download queue, the bigger the impact ;)
|
||||
Remove stray "dnl", so that mandatory actually works with (my)
|
||||
autoreconf.
|
||||
|
||||
On *nix the picture is a little different... tcmalloc usually still
|
||||
outperforms the native malloc implementation, but not that
|
||||
significantly than on Windows. jemalloc however is only marginally
|
||||
better than recent native Linux implementations, while it is already
|
||||
used by some BSD as the native allocator.
|
||||
* Always build doc/manual-src
|
||||
|
||||
tcmalloc is part of gperftools and very mature and tested by now. It
|
||||
doesn't work on OSX in the default configuration, however.
|
||||
http://code.google.com/p/gperftools/
|
||||
Should sphinx-build be not available AND the man file not be prsent,
|
||||
then just "touch" it into existence (and warn about that)
|
||||
|
||||
jemalloc is the default allocator at least on FreeBSD and NetBSD and
|
||||
used in Firefox. http://www.canonware.com/jemalloc/index.html
|
||||
* Win: Use SetConsoleCtrlHandler for SIGINT/SIGTERM

|
||||
* Implement a simple resource lock (threading)
|
||||
|
||||
* Close GZipFiles in the d'tor
|
||||
In this initial implementation Locks are no-ops on platforms other
|
||||
than Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Contributed by Nils Maier
|
||||
* Check for sphinx-build during configure
|
||||
|
||||
* Add libaria2, C++ library interface to aria2
|
||||
* Add --with-disk-cache configure option
|
||||
|
||||
The libaria2 is a C++ library and offers the core functionality of
|
||||
aria2. The library takes care of all networking and downloading
|
||||
stuff, so its usage is very straight forward right now. See
|
||||
libaria2ex.cc in examples directory to see how to use API. By
|
||||
default, libaria2 is not built. See libaria2 section in README to
|
||||
how to enable it.
|
||||
Enables packagers more fine grained control over the default value
|
||||
without having to mess with config files.
|
||||
|
||||
The APIs in this release is considered experimental.
|
||||
See GH-115
|
||||
|
||||
* Add missing check for sigaction
|
||||
* Change defaults: Enable 16M disk cache by default.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix cached data is not flushed when downloaded data is less than
|
||||
16KiB
|
||||
* Always save control file if --force-save is given
|
||||
|
||||
* LibUV: Implement LibuvEventPoll
|
||||
* Set log level DEBUG for unittests
|
||||
|
||||
LibUV event will use the best available polling method on a system,
|
||||
kind of like aria2 does already with the different *EventPoll
|
||||
implementations. However, libuv may support different/newer polling
|
||||
mechanisms; for example on Windows it will use IO Completion Ports
|
||||
which are superior to select() ;)
|
||||
* Check that C++ compiler supports override keyword
|
||||
|
||||
Contributed by Nils Maier
|
||||
If the compiler supports override, define CXX11_OVERRIDE as
|
||||
override, otherwise define it as empty. Use CXX11_OVERRIDE instead
|
||||
of override.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* AppleTLS: Fix MessageDigestImpl
|
||||
|
||||
aria2 1.17.0
|
||||
============
|
||||
* AppleTLS: Fix session CFRelease stuff
|
||||
|
||||
Release Note
|
||||
------------
|
||||
* Use AX_CXX_COMPILE_STDCXX_11 macro to detect C++0x/C++11 support in
|
||||
compiler
|
||||
|
||||
This release adds Mac OS X native SSL/TLS library support. The IPv6
|
||||
asynchronous DNS is enabled by default and A/AAAA lookups are done in
|
||||
parallel. The simple Happy Eyeballs algorithm was implemented to
|
||||
mitigate long timeout when connecting to IPv6 host on dual-stack host.
|
||||
--save-session option only saves the options specified by command-line
|
||||
or RPC.
|
||||
* Require -std=c++11 and use std::shared_ptr instead of SharedHandle
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
* Join URI on redirect
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated Russian manual
|
||||
* Send HAVE message to the peer which the piece is downloaded from
|
||||
|
||||
Contributed by ITriskTI
|
||||
Historically, aria2 did not send HAVE message to the peer which the
|
||||
piece is coming from, thinking it is obvious that the peer knows we
|
||||
have the piece. But it is not obvious if one piece is download from
|
||||
more than 1 peers (e.g., end game mode). So it is better to send
|
||||
HAVE to all peers connected.
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated Portuguese manual
|
||||
* Improvements to --follow-torrent=false documentation.

Patch from gt
|
||||
|
||||
* Append --static to pkg-config arguments when ARIA2_STATIC=yes
|
||||
* SessionSerializer: Truly unique URIs
|
||||
|
||||
* Save options directly specified for download in --save-session
|
||||
Before, only spent uris where sanitized not to be contained within
|
||||
remaining uris. Change this so that each uri in the
|
||||
union(remaining,spent) get saved once at most. The order of the
|
||||
uris will won't be changed, with remaining uris going first followed
|
||||
by spent uris.
|
||||
|
||||
This change makes --save-session save only options specified for
|
||||
download, more specifically, options in command-line, -i file and
|
||||
via RPC. The other options from conf file and default values are not
|
||||
saved. This will drastically decrease the size of session file.
|
||||
Also avoid copying the uri std::strings around during dupe checking,
|
||||
usually resulting in better performance regarding CPU and space.
|
||||
|
||||
* Save URI returned only from FileEntry::getRemainingUris()
|
||||
* Make getOption RPC method return option for stopped downloads
|
||||
|
||||
The currently used URIs are inserted back into remaining URI list in
|
||||
FileEntry::putBackRequest(), which overlaps to some of the URIs in
|
||||
spentUris_. If we save spent URIs, each time save is performed, the
|
||||
number of URIs are increased due to this overlap. This change fixes
|
||||
this bug.
|
||||
|
||||
* Print linked 3rd party libraries with version in `aria2c -v` output
|
||||
|
||||
* AppleTLS: Support credentials via KeyChain fingerprints
|
||||
|

|
||||
|
||||
* AppleTLS: Implement AppleTLS and Apple Message Digest
|
||||
|
||||
Contributed by Nils Maier
|
||||
|
||||
* Use info level log for system trusted ca imports failure
|
||||
|
||||
This is because on some platforms (gnutls on cygwin for example),
|
||||
library always fails for this function and getting ERROR every time
|
||||
aria2c invoked is too hard.
|
||||
|
||||
* Don't add Windows native DLLs for Cygwin build
|
||||
|
||||
* Remove deprecated options: --enable-direct-io and --metalink-servers
|
||||
|
||||
* Deprecate --enable-async-dns6
|
||||
|
||||
The IPv6 asynchronous name resolver is enabled if the host has at
|
||||
least one interface with IPv6 address configured (the loopback
|
||||
address will not be counted), which is roughly the same behaviour of
|
||||
the standard getaddrinfo(3). To disable IPv6 asynchronous name
|
||||
resolver, use --disable-ipv6.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fix uninitialized UDPTrackerClient::numWatchers_
|
||||
|
||||
* Implement simple Happy Eyeballs for HTTP/FTP downloads
|
||||
|
||||
* Parallel A and AAAA record lookups with c-ares
|
||||
|
||||
But we don't wait for AAAA query response if A query response has
|
||||
been received. If we got IPv4 lookup response, we don't wait for
|
||||
IPv6 lookup response. This is because DNS server may drop AAAA query
|
||||
and we have to wait for the long time before timeout. We don't do
|
||||
the inverse, because, based on todays deployment of DNS server,
|
||||
almost all of them can respond A query just fine.
|
||||
* SessionSerializer: Save spent URIs as well as remaining ones
