===========
Release Note
------------
This release adds XML-RPC interface and the ability to run command
when download started/stopped and the ability to save cookies. The
current XML-RPC API allows users to add http(s)/ftp/torrent/Metalink
download and change options dynamically. The APIs such as reporting
download progress, file paths, URIs and peer information are also
available. For complete API specification, see XML-RPC INTERFACE
section in man page and
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/aria2/wiki/XmlrpcInterface. The
console readout was slightly updated and now includes the number of
seeders the client has connected to. Slovak translation was
added. Ukrainian and Brazilian Portuguese translation were updated.
Changes
-------
* Added Slovak translation. Updated Ukrainian and Brazilian Portuguese
translation. Thanks to all translators.
* Use name.utf-8 and path.utf-8 key in higher priority than name and
path key respectively when persing .torrent file.
* Added --xml-rpc-max-request-size option to limit the size of XML-RPC
request.
* Since upcoming libgnutls 2.8 doesn't have libgnutls-config, Check
presence of libgnutls using pkg-config first. If it fails, fall back
to old macro libgnutls.m4.
* Added --save-cookies option.
* Added the ability to execute command when download starts and
stops. You can also specify command for particular cases such as
complete/error download. Added --on-download-start,
--on-download-stop, --on-download-complete and --on-download-error
option.
* Abbreviated KiB/s to KiBs and its precision decreased to 1 to save
space in console readout. Also they are now shown in MiB/s if speed
> 1024KiB/s.
* Added SEED to console output, which represents the number of seeders
currently the client is connecting to.
* Added source filename(__FILE__) and line number(__LINE__) to
exception message.
* Fixed the bug that POU peers are never choked in seeding.
* DownloadResult now has the list of FileEntry. The download summary
displays the path of first selected file and the number of remaining
files for multi-file torrent.
* Added BASIC authentication for XML-RPC. Added --xml-rpc-user and
--xml-rpc-passwd option.
* Added XML-RPC interface. See complete API specification at
http://apps.sourceforge.net/trac/aria2/wiki/XmlrpcInterface
* Removed --enable-http-server and --http-server-listen-port options.
Added --enable-xml-rpc and --xml-rpc-listen-port instead. The
original feature for --enable-http-server that reports download
progress in HTML was officially removed. Persist XML-RPC connection
if client supports keep-alive.
* Added more options that can be specified in -i list and xml-rpc
add* command. See Input File in aria2c man page.
