Release Note
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
This release adds the AdaptiveURISelector from Mandriva developers and
|
|
changes the default value of --proxy-method option from 'tunnel' to
|
|
'get'. The several BitTorrent options were added: limiting the number
|
|
of peers, choosing port randomly from specified range, a toggle to
|
|
seed after successful hash check and specifying IP address to report
|
|
to a tracker. 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). aria2 now
|
|
returns exit code depending on the last error. All exit codes are
|
|
documented in man page. This release also adds experimental built-in
|
|
HTTP server which provides the current download progress in plain
|
|
html.

Changes
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
* Changed the default value of --proxy-method option from 'tunnel' to
|
|
'get'. Use 'tunnel' for HTTPS regardless of --proxy-method option.
|
|
|
|
* Added --bt-external-ip option. You can specify the external IP
|
|
address to report to a BitTorrent tracker. Although this function is
|
|
named 'external', it can accept any kind of IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed the bug that the average speed is wrong in http/ftp/BitTorrent
|
|
integrated download. Only the download bytes in BitTorrent were
|
|
considered.
|
|
|
|
* Choose port for BitTorrent/DHT randomly from the specified range.
|
|
REQUEST#2543518
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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 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.
|
|
|
|
* Made (piece) hash check sequential for each RequestGroup because
|
|
simultaneous hash check is slower than sequential execution.
|
|
|
|
* Added --bt-max-peers option to specify the maximum number of peers
|
|
per torrent. 0 means unlimited number of peers. REQUEST#2451382
|
|
|
|
* 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).
|
|
|
|
* Made the max value of split option unlimited. REQUEST#2496748
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* Included RecoverableException.h from main.cc. BUG#2498160
|
|
|
|
* 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.
|
|
|
|
* 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
