aria2 1.5.0 =========== Release Note ------------ This release adds WEB-Seeding support for multi-file torrent(in other words, integrating BitTorrent downloads with HTTP(S)/FTP). aria2 now tries all resolved addresses to connect to remote servers in HTTP(S)/FTP until it gets connected. 2 new XML-RPC methods were added: aria2.tellWaiting and aria2.getVersion. The behavior of -D option has been changed: If -D is specified, the current working directory is set to / and stdin, stdout and stderr are redirected to /dev/null. --use-head is now disabled by default since using HEAD request causes problems in some web sites. --bt-stop-timeout option was added. This function stops BitTorrent download if the download speed is 0 in consecutive given seconds. Changes ------- * Fixed the bug that http-user, http-passwd, ftp-user and ftp-passwd are ignored when they are given via XML-RPC. * Added 'errorCode' to the reponse of tellStatus xml-rpc method. This key is only available for stopped/completed downloads and its value is the error code defined in EXIT STATUS in man page. * Implemented getVersion xml-rpc method. This method returns struct which has 2 key-value pairs: "version" key is associated to the version of aria2, such as "1.5.0". "enabledFeatures" key is associated to the list of enabled features, such as "Async DNS", "BitTorrent". * Removed TLS1.1 protocol support when aria2 is built with gnutls for compatibility issue. * Disabled --use-head option by default because --use-head=true causes problems on some web sites. * Print URL List in -S option for torrent. * Added --bt-stop-timeout=SEC option. This function stops BitTorrent download if the download speed is 0 in consecutive SEC seconds. By default, this function is disabled. * Throw exception if file path doesn't exist in FTP URL. * Try all available addresses returned by DNS until it gets connected in HTTP(S)/FTP download * Don't print "No files to download." message if -S is given. * Added support of WEB-Seeding for multi-file torrent. * Added tellWaiting XML-RPC method. * The default value of --dir option is the absolute path to the current directory. If getcwd() is failed, then it is ".", which is the same value with old implementation. This change is necessary because after daemon() call, the current working directory is changed to /. * Call daemon() with arguments(0,0), which means daemon() changes current working directory to / and redirects stdin, stdout and stderr to /dev/null.
