- aria2 1.2.0
- ===========
- 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
