 ===========

 Release Note
 ------------

-This release fixes the bug that aria2 listens wrong port in
-BitTorrent/FTP downloads when --interface option is used. If
--metalink-file='-' is given, aria2 now reads Metalink file from
-stdin. Magnet URI is printed in the output of -S option.  DHT is
-now enabled by default.  DHT doesn't start while aria2 only handles
-HTTP/FTP downloads. On the first torrent download begins, aria2
-initiates DHT functionality. After that, DHT runs until aria2 exits
+This release fixes the bug that configure script fails to detect
+GnuTLS library if --without-sqlite3 is given.  The new XML-RPC methods
+are added: aria2.getOption, aria2.getGetGlobalOption,
+aria2.changePosition, aria2.tellStopped and system.multicall.
+--bt-save-metadata option is added. This option saves metadata as
+.torrent file. This option has effect only when BitTorrent Magnet URI
+is used.

 Changes
 -------

- * Fixed the bug that RequestGroupMan::downloadFinished() returns true
-   even if all downloads haven't finished, especially when
-   PostDownloadHandler is involved. Changed the condition so that it
-   only returns true if both _requestGroups and _reservedGroups are
-   empty.
+ * Added signal handler for SIGHUP to save .aria2 file when terminal
+   is closed. The handler is the same one for SIGINT and SIGTERM.

- * Enabled DHT by default because of Magnet URI support. To disable
-   DHT, use --enable-dht=false
+ * Added system.multicall XML-RPC method.

- * Print Magnet URI in -S output.
+ * Added tellStopped XML-RPC method. This method returns stopped
+   download in the specified range. It takes same parameters with
+   tellWaiting XML-RPC method. offset = 0 means the oldest download.

- * Fixed the bug that line separator is missing in horizontal bar in
-   aria2mon.
+ * Use AI_ADDRCONFIG flag if it is available. Refactored so that
+   getaddrinfo calls are not scattered around. Unset AI_ADDRCONFIG
+   when conducting unit tests because they fail if networking
+   interface is not configured with IPv4 address.

- * If '-' is given as an argument to --metalink-file option, aria2
-   reads Metalink file from stdin.
+ * Added --bt-save-metadata option. When true is given, it saves
+   metadata as .torrent file. This option has effect only when
+   BitTorrent Magnet URI is used.  The filename is hex encoded info
+   hash with suffix .torrent. The directory to be saved is the same
+   directory where download file is saved. If the same file already
+   exists, metdata is not saved.

- * Fixed the bug that aria2 listens wrong port if --interface option
-   is used.
+ * Added changePosition XML-RPC method. It takes 3 parameters: gid,
+   pos and how.  This method changes the position of download denoted
+   by gid.  If how is POS_SET, it moves the download to a position
+   relative to the beginning of the queue.  If how is POS_CUR, it
+   moves the download to a position relative to the current
+   position. If how is POS_END, it moves the download to a position
+   relative to the end of the queue. If the destination position is
+   less than 0 or beyond the end of the queue, it moves the download
+   to the beginning or the end of the queue respectively.  Returns the
+   destination position.

- * Fixed the bug that query parameter in magnet URI is not decoded.
+ * Added getOption and getGlobalOption XML-RPC method.  getOption
+   takes GID as a parameter and returns its options as struct.
+   getGlobalOption takes no parameter and returns global
+   options. Because global option is used as a template for the option
+   of newly added downloads, it includes options returned by
+   getOption.

-
+ * Added following 2 keys, followedBy and belongsTo, to the response
+   of tellStatus.

-aria2 1.7.1
-===========
+   followedBy: List of GIDs which are generated by the
+   consequence of this download. For example, when aria2 downloaded
+   Metalink file, it generates downloads described in it(see
+   --follow-metalink option). This value is useful to track these
+   auto generated downloads. If there is no such downloads, this key
+   will not be included in the response.

-Release Note
------------
+   belongsTo: GID of a parent download. Some downloads are a part of
+   another download.  For example, if a file in Metalink has
+   BitTorrent resource, the download of .torrent is a part of that
+   file.  If this download has no parent, this key will not be
+   included in the response.

-This release fixes the bug that --bt-prioritize-piece=tail is not
-working.
+ * Show info hash in Magnet URI in upper case letters in -S output.

-aria2 1.7.0
-===========
-
-Release Note
------------
-
-This release adds BitTorrent Magnet URI support.  3 options were
-added: the ability to bind to particular interface, disabling IPv6 and
-prioritizing piece in BitTorrent downloads.  In configure script, if
--with-PACKAGE and --enable-FEATURE are given but PACKAGE is missing
-in the system or FEATURE cannot be enabled in the current
-configuration, the script now prints error message and exits.
--http-auth-scheme option was removed since it is useless.  Updated
-Russian, Ukrainian, German and French translations.
-
-Changes
-------
-
- * Updated Russian, Ukrainian, German and French translations.  Thanks
-   to all translators involved.
-
- * Use last 8 bytes of peer ID as 'key' parameter for tracker request.
-
- * Added --disable-ipv6 option to disable IPv6.
-
- * In configure script, if --with-PACKAGE and --enable-FEATURE are
-   given and PACKAGE is missing in the system or FEATURE cannot be
-   enabled, print error message and stop the script.
-
- * Added --interface option.  This feature binds sockets to given
-   interface. You can specify interface name, IP address and hostname.
-
- * Removed --http-auth-scheme option since it is useless.
-
- * Added --bt-request-peer-speed-limit, --bt-max-peers and
-   --bt-prioritize-piece option to changeOption XML-RPC method.
-
- * Added option --bt-prioritize-piece.  This option instruct aria2 to
-   try to download first and last pieces of each file first. This
-   option is useful for previewing files. The argument can contain 2
-   keywords:head and tail. To include both keywords, they must be
-   separated by comma. These keywords can take one parameter,
-   SIZE. For example , if head=SIZE is specified, pieces in the range
-   of first SIZE bytes of each file get higher priority. tail=SIZE
-   means the range of last SIZE bytes of each file. SIZE can include K
-   or M(1K = 1024, 1M = 1024K).
-
- * Use host and protocol in original URI to record server's speed,
-   because URI selector selects URI based on original URI, not
-   redirected one.
-
- * Fixed the bug which causes segmentation fault with tellWaiting
-   XML-RPC method when BitTorrent download is waiting.
-
- * Added support of Extension for Peers to Send Metadata Files(BEP9)
-   and BitTorrent Magnet URI. Now addUri XML-RPC method accepts
-   BitTorrent Magnet URI. Metalink resource type 'bittorrent' also
-   accepts BitTorrent Magnet URI.
-
- * Fixed the bug that slow server is not knocked down in favor of
-   faster one.
-
- * Applied a patch from tizianomueller to fix sigbus errors on Linux
-   sparc. I modified the patch to eliminate a cast to uint32_t* and
-   include file ordering.
+ * Fixed the bug that if --without-sqlite3 is given, pkg-config is not
+   properly used in configure script and failed to detect gnutls.
+   This is because explicit call of PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG is missing and
+   the initialization of pkg-config is done in first occurrence of
+   PKG_CHECK_MODULES which is not executed because it is inside of
+   sqlite3.m4. Added explicit PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG call.
