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
