aria2 1.14.2
============

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

This release fixes the bug that aria2 does not listen on the address
given in --interface. It also fixes the bug of HTTP redirect when
Location header field contains an absolute path which contains "://".
aria2 now doesn't emit "Max payload length exceeded or invalid" error
when the number of pieces is very large in BitTorrent. It also allows
missing <params> element in XML-RPC request as specified in XML-RPC
specification. Also in XML-RPC, <i4> and <int> elements must be 32
bits signed integer from this release.  The --deferred-input option
was added.  It prevents aria2 from reading all URIs from -i file, and
makes aria2 read URI one by one as it is needed. This will save memory
usage if -i file contains lots of URIs. Windows UNC path support was
added.

Changes
-------

 * Only accepts 32 bit integer values from int and i4 elements in
   XML-RPC. Fixed overflow bug in aria2.tellWaiting and
   aria2.tellStopped RPC methods.

 * Updated Spanish, Italian, Russian and Chinese (Simplified)
   translations. Thanks to all translators.

 * Fixed the bug that aria2 does not listen on address given in
   --interface.

 * Supported Windows UNC path.

 * Check scheme part in redirected URI more strictly.  The previous
   implementation mistakenly sees '/abspath?uri=http://foo' as an
   absolute URI because it contains '://', but actually it is not.
   This change checks scheme part is constructed in the allowed
   character set described in RFC 3986 Section 3.1.

 * Allow missing params in XML-RPC request.

 * Fixed "Max payload length exceeded or invalid" error when the
   number of pieces is very large.

 * Added --deferred-input option.  If true is given to
   --deferred-input option, aria2 does not read all URIs and options
   from file specified by -i option at startup, but it reads one by
   one when it needs later. This may reduce memory usage if input file
   contains a lot of URIs to download. If false is given, aria2 reads
   all URIs and options at startup. This option defaults to false.



aria2 1.14.1
============

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

This release fixes the bug that prevents --checksum option from
working correctly. It also fixes the bug that log file is not created
if a warn level log is created before log file is opened. Now aria2
doesn't assume download has completed just because file size matched.
The old behavior is problematic because aria2 just assumes download is
completed but in reality it is not.

Changes
-------

 * Supported network-path reference in HTTP redirect.

 * Updated bash_completion.

 * aria2 now doesn't assume download has completed just because file
   size matched. The only exception is zero-length file.  If server
   tells that file is zero-length and --checksum option is given,
   aria2 now correctly checks its checksum. There is one known issue:
   If downloaded file is zero-length file and .aria2 file exists, it
   will not be deleted on successful verification, because .aria2 file
   is not loaded.

 * Fixed the bug that --checksum is not working. SFBUG#3466888

 * Fixed compile error without libnettle, libgcrypt and openssl.
   SFBUG#3466463

 * Fixed the bug that log file is not created if there is warning
   before log file is opened.



aria2 1.14.0
============

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

This release adds many available options to aria2.changeOption and
aria2.changeGlobalOption RPC methods.  IPv6 literal address is now
supported in the proxy options. --metalink-server option is now
deprecated and --split option should be used instead. In this release,
--metalink-server is the alias of --split option.  The format ETA in
console readout is changed slightly. New option --stop-with-process is
added.

Changes
-------

 * Updated Chinese (Simplified), Spanish, French and Russian
   translations. Thanks to all translators.

 * Updated Russian man page. Thanks to ITriskTI.

 * Ignore peer which possibly sent bad data in next few minuts.  In
   aria2, one piece is downloaded from several peers, so when hash
   check failed for that piece, it cannot determine which peer(s) sent
   bad data. So, we ignore peer who sent last block of data in random
   minutes. We use randomized timeout because all peers get waken up
   at the almost same time.
 
 * Added suggestion for unknown/ambiguous options.  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.

 * Added --stop-with-process=PID option.  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.
 
 * Support IPv6 address for FTP via HTTP tunneling.

 * The previous implementation could not handle the situation when
   user, password and proxy URI is given various order.  Now we just
   set rules: username set in --*-proxy-user overrides username in
   --*-proxy option, no matter in any order username, password and
   proxy URI are parsed. Likewise, password set in --*--proxy-passwd
   overrides password in --*-proxy option.

 * Changed format of ETA.  Now no leading 0 is used. If hour part
   and/or min part is non-zero, and sec part is 0, sec part is
   omitted, like this "1h3m".

 * Rewritten Metalink XML parser.  Now we don't strip white spaces
   while parsing Metalink V3 document.

 * Now xml attribute and characters in RPC request is not stripped at
   all.

 * Fixed bug that some information such as port number is lost if
   redirect URI contains only path component.

 * Apply PREF_MAX_CONNECTION_PER_SERVER to BitTorrent WEB Seeding
   hosts.

 * Reuse in-flight and pooled URIs when a download is paused.

 * Deprecated --metalink-server option. Use --split option instead.

 * Made max value of --select-file to 65535

 * Use same domain-match algorithm for no-proxy and netrc.  Now
   "example.org" does not domain-match ".example.org" in both
   functions.

 * For waiting or paused downloads, the options listed in Input File
   subsection in man page are available in aria2.changeOption RPC
   method, except for following options: dry-run, metalink-base-uri,
   parameterized-uri, pause and piece_length.

 * Made --download-result, --save-session, --server-stat-of and
   --save-cookies option available in aria2.changeGlobalOption.  In
   addition to them, the options listed in Input File subsection in
   man page are also available, except for following options:
   checksum, index-out, out, pause and select-file.

 * Made --uri-selector option available in -i list.

 * Support IPv6 literal address in proxy option.

 * Support IPv6 CIDR block in --http-no-proxy option.

 * HttpProxyOptionHandler: Enclose hostname with square brackets if
   hostname is IPv6 numeric address.
