aria2 1.1.2
|
||||
aria2 1.2.0
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Release Note
|
||||
------------
|
||||
This release fixes the bug that BitTorrent download doesn't finish
|
||||
when REJECT message is received before CHOKE message. --use-head
|
||||
option was added to toggle whether HEAD method should be used in the
|
||||
first HTTP request. To use GET method as the first request, give
|
||||
--use-head=false to aria2c.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
* Updated Russian translation. Thanks to the translators.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added --use-head option to toggle whether HEAD method should be used
|
||||
in the first HTTP request. By default aria2 uses HEAD method as the
|
||||
first request. If the server doesn't recognize HEAD, then give aria2
|
||||
--use-head=false to force aria2 to use GET method instead.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that BitTorrent download doesn't finish when REJECT
|
||||
message is received before CHOKE message. The old implementation
|
||||
doesn't clear the use-bit of the piece when recieved REJECT message.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
aria2 1.1.1
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Release Note
|
||||
------------
|
||||
This release fixes the bug that --summary-interval=0 doesn't work.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that --summary-interval=0 doesn't work. The summary is
|
||||
printed repeatedly. It should not be printed if 0 is specified.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
aria2 1.1.0
|
||||
===========
|
||||
|
||||
Release Note
|
||||
------------
|
||||
This release fixes the many bugs such as buggy HTTP pipelining
|
||||
implementation that leads to corrupted downloads, bad cookie handling
|
||||
and sending bad formed URI to the tracker. --max-overall-upload-limit
|
||||
option was added to controll overall(not per torrent) upload speed.
|
||||
|
||||
From this release, aria2 validates the server certificate of HTTPS
|
||||
servers by default. --with-ca-bundle compile time option is added to
|
||||
specify the default path to the CA bundle. For example, Debian
|
||||
provides /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, therefore run configure
|
||||
with --with-ca-bundle='/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt'
|
||||
|
||||
The most big change in this release is that the package name is
|
||||
changed from "aria2c" to "aria2". This changes the installation
|
||||
directory of the documents and the translation files(*.mo). Now the
|
||||
documents are installed in $prefix/share/doc/aria2 and the each
|
||||
translation file is named as aria2.mo
|
||||
This release includes the AdaptiveURISelector patch from Mandriva
|
||||
developers. The several BitTorrent options were added: limiting the
|
||||
number of peers and choosing port randomly from specified range and a
|
||||
toggle to seed after successful hash check. Hash checking is now done
|
||||
sequentially rather than simultaneously. HTTP Authorization was also
|
||||
refined so that now authorization header is sent to the server only
|
||||
when it is requested(there are some exceptions, see Changes
|
||||
below). This release also adds experimental built-in HTTP server which
|
||||
provides the current download progress in plain html.
|
||||
|
||||
Changes
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
* Print the contents of torrent/metalink files without -T/-M options.
|
||||
* Applied AdaptiveURISelector-timeout patch from Pascal Rigaux at
|
||||
Mandriva. I modified the patch: make RequestGroup have the timeout
|
||||
value and AdaptiveURISelector directly modifies that value.
|
||||
|
||||
* Updated French, Japanese, Russian and Ukrainian translations.
|
||||
Thanks to all translators.
|
||||
* Use LongestSequencePieceSelector for HTTP/FTP/BitTorrent integrated
|
||||
downloads. This PieceSelector subclass finds the longest continuous
|
||||
sequence in the available missing pieces and selects the last index
|
||||
of such sequence. This makes HTTP/FTP connections less interrupted
|
||||
by the pieces obtained by BitTorrent peers.
|
||||
|
||||
* Rename file by appending digits if a local file exists and its file
|
||||
size is larger than that of remote file with --continue option. The
|
||||
old implementation just throws exception in such case.
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that the average speed is wrong in http/ftp/BitTorrent
|
||||
integrated download. Only the download bytes in BitTorrent were
|
||||
considered.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that download progress summary is not printed in the
|
||||
interval specified by the option.
|
||||
* Choose port for BitTorrent/DHT randomly from the specified range.
|
||||
REQUEST#2543518
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the cookie implementation based on RFC2965. Now if a value in
|
||||
domain field is not started with dot, then prepend dot. That means a
|
||||
cookie with domain=sf.net is sent to wiki.sf.net.
|
||||
* Send HTTP Authorization header only if it is requested by the
|
||||
server(response 401). There are some exceptions. The authorization
|
||||
header for proxy is always sent if it is available without request
|
||||
by the server. If username/password is specified in the URI, it is
|
||||
immediately sent to the server without request by the server.
|
||||
Implements REQUEST#2540844.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that causes corrupted downloads if HTTP pipelining is
|
||||
enabled and the server doesn't support keep-alive.
|
||||
* Remove leading "--" from help keyword and a substring after "=" from
|
||||
help keyword, so that one can query options by '-h--max-' or
|
||||
'-hmax-peers=10'.
|
||||
|
||||
* Added --max-overall-upload-limit option. This option limits the
|
||||
overall upload speed. Stated in help message that the existing
|
||||
--max-upload-limit option limits the upload speed per each torrent.
|
||||
Man page is also updated.
|
||||
* Added experimental built-in HTTP server. Currently, when a client
|
||||
accesses to the server, it responds with the current download
|
||||
progress. By default, it is disabled. To enable the server, give
|
||||
--enable-http-server option. To change the default port number for
|
||||
the server to listen to, use --http-server-listen-port option. The
|
||||
response HTML is very simple and refreshes it self each 1 second.
|
||||
Because of this refresh, you see flicker in normal web browser such
|
||||
as Firefox. I recommend to use console-based browser such as
|
||||
elinks, w3m. To connect to the server, run 'elinks
|
||||
http://localhost:6800/' while running aria2. Please replace port
|
||||
number '6800'(which is default) with your preference.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that bad URI is sent to the tracker when the announe
|
||||
URI in torrent file includes query.
|
||||
* Made (piece) hash check sequential for each RequestGroup because
|
||||
simultaneous hash check is slower than sequential execution.
|
||||
|
||||
* Enabled --check-certificate by default. Added compile
|
||||
time(configure) option --with-ca-bundle to specify CA bundle. Warn
|
||||
if --check-certificate=true and --ca-certificate is not specified or
|
||||
loading CA certificate is failed.
|
||||
* Added --bt-max-peers option to specify the maximum number of peers
|
||||
per torrent. 0 means unlimited number of peers. REQUEST#2451382
|
||||
|
||||
* Added "https" tag to help option category. Added https tag to
|
||||
--ca-certificate, --certificate, --check-certificate and --private-key
|
||||
option.
|
||||
* Added --bt-hash-check-seed option. If true is given to this option,
|
||||
after hash check using --check-integrity option and file is
|
||||
complete, continue to seed file. If you want to check file and
|
||||
download it only when it is damaged or incomplete, set this option
|
||||
to false. This option has effect only on BitTorrent download. The
|
||||
default value is true(This is the same behavior with the previous
|
||||
release).
|
||||
|
||||
* Changed the package name from "aria2c" to "aria2". The name of the
|
||||
executable is not changed. This change was done in order to fix the
|
||||
inconsistency of the package name and the install directory since in
|
||||
many distributions the binary package name is "aria2", but the old
|
||||
releases tried to install to "aria2c" directory such as
|
||||
"/usr/local/share/doc/aria2c".
|
||||
* Made the max value of split option unlimited. REQUEST#2496748
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed typos in man page.
|
||||
* Added --event-poll option to select the method for polling events.
|
||||
The available methods are "select" and "epoll". "epoll" is
|
||||
available on Linux only. The earlier release has the compile
|
||||
option to choose from these methods.
|
||||
|
||||
* RFC3986 complied Percent-Encoding(urlencode). Use uppercase
|
||||
hexadecimal digits for encoded text instead of lowercase ones.
|
||||
* Included RecoverableException.h from main.cc. BUG#2498160
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that -pfalse and -ptrue are not recognized properly.
|
||||
* Applied exit-status patch from Pascal Rigaux at Mandriva. aria2 now
|
||||
returns last error encountered in the HTTP/FTP downloads as a exit
|
||||
status value. If all downloads finished successfully, aria2 returns
|
||||
0. The error code is defined in src/DownloadResult.h. The error
|
||||
occurred in the download currently in progress is not reported as a
|
||||
last error. If no error has encountered but there are in progress
|
||||
or waiting downloads, aria2 returns 7.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed the bug that prevents aria2 from downloading 0-length files
|
||||
via HTTP/FTP.
|
||||
* Applied AdaptiveURISelector patch from Aurelien Lefebvre. This
|
||||
patch adds AdaptiveURISelector, which selects one of the bests
|
||||
mirrors for first and reserved connections. For supplementary
|
||||
ones, it returns mirrors which has not been tested yet, and if
|
||||
each of them already tested, returns mirrors which has to be
|
||||
tested again. Otherwise, it doesn't return anymore mirrors.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fixed unit test error in HTTPResponseTest. PATCH#2485509
