Saved sessions may very large, as in hundreds and even thousands of
megabyte when dealing with large queues.
Add support to save and reload sessions to gzipped files, when libz is
available.
The session serializer will output gzipped contents when the file ends
with .gz, while the input file reader (UriListParser) will accept
whatever is thrown at it.
--save-session-interval option saves error/unfinished downloads to a
file specified by --save-session option every SEC seconds. If 0 is
given, file will be saved only when aria2 exits.
This change replaces the current 64 bit sequential GID with 64 bits
random bytes GID in an attempt to support persistent GID. Internally,
the GID is stored as uint64_t. For human representation and RPC
interface, GID is represented as 16 bytes hex string. For console
readout, 16 bytes are too long, so it is abbreviated to first 6 bytes.
When querying GID in RPC calls, user can speicfy the prefix of GID as
long as the prefix is shared by more than 1 GID entries.
This option enables disk cache. If SIZE is 0, the disk cache is
disabled. This feature caches the downloaded data in memory, which
grows to at most SIZE bytes. The cache storage is created for aria2
instance and shared by all downloads. The one advantage of the disk
cache is reduce the disk seek time because the data is written in
larger unit and it is reordered by the offset of the file. If the
underlying file is heavily fragmented it is not the case.
The old implementation calculates download/upload statistics for a
RequestGroup by summing up all PeerStat objects. For global
statistics, those are summed together. This clearly incurs runtime
penalty and we introduced some kind of caching which updates
statistics every 250ms but it did not work right.
This change removes all these aggregation code, and instead makes
RequestGroup and RequestGroupMan objects hold NetStat object and
download/upload bytes are directly calculated by thier own NetStat.
This is far more simplar than the old way and less runtime penalty and
brings more accuracy.
--file-allocation option can now take new value 'trunc'. 'trunc' uses
ftruncate() system call or platform-specific counterpart to truncate a
file to a specified length.
The help messages shown when argument error were redesigned and less
verbose now. When unknown or ambiguous option is given, show
suggestions like "Did you mean...". Some constant values related to
levenstein distance are borrowed from git help.c.
This feature stops application when process PID is not running. This
is useful if aria2 process is forked from a parent process. The parent
process can fork aria2 with its own pid and when parent process exits
for some reason, aria2 can detect it and shutdown itself.
The code which detects whether or not given process PID is running is
contributed by Emmanuel Engelhart.
libnettle and libgmp is used by default. Old implementation uses
libgcrypt as default. If more and more Linux distributions offer
libnettle linked GnuTLS, then this change decrease library dependency
against libgcrypt and libgpg-error. The current library detection for
libnettle and libgmp is very simple, just use AC_SEARCH_LIBS.
util::generateRandomData() was written using SimpleRandomizer, thus no
external library dependency from this function.
In MinGW32 build, global::cout is WinConsoleFile. When outputing to
console, it uses WriteConsoleW, so Unicode characters are written.
Fixed memory leak in WChar<->MultiByte conversion functions. The
portion of code which uses std::cout is rewritten to use global::cout.
