Raw Normal View History

* added python binding, using boost.python
* improved character conversion on windows when strings are not utf-8.
* metadata extension now respects the private flag in the torrent.
* made the DHT to only be used as a fallback to trackers by default.
* added support for HTTP redirection support for web seeds.
* fixed race condition when accessing a torrent that was checking its
fast resume data.
* fixed a bug in the DHT which could be triggered if the network was
dropped or extremely rare cases.
* if the download rate is limited, web seeds will now only use left-over
bandwidth after all bt peers have used up as much bandwidth as they can.
* added the possibility to have libtorrent resolve the countries of
the peers in torrents.
* improved the bandwidth limiter (it now implements a leaky bucket/node bucket).
* improved the HTTP seed downloader to report accurate progress.
* added more client peer-id signatures to be recognized.
2007-01-05 03:13:19 +01:00
* added support for HTTP servers that skip the CR before the NL at line breaks.
* fixed bug in the HTTP code that only accepted headers case sensitive.
2006-12-31 00:04:42 +01:00
* fixed bug where one of the session constructors didn't initialize boost.filesystem.
* fixed bug when the initial checking of a torrent fails with an exception.
* fixed bug in DHT code which would send incorrect announce messages.
* fixed bug where the http header parser was case sensitive to the header
names.
* Implemented an optmization which frees the piece_picker once a torrent
turns into a seed.
* Added support for uT peer exchange extension, implemented by Massaroddel.
* Modified the quota management to offer better bandwidth balancing
between peers.
* added XCode project files (maintained by Gregor Riepl)
* logging now supports multiple sessions (different sessions now log
to different directories).
* fixed random number generator seed problem, generating the same
peer-id for sessions constructed the same second.
* added an option to accept multiple connections from the same IP.
* improved tracker logging.
* moved the file_pool into session. The number of open files is now
limited per session.
* fixed uninitialized private flag in torrent_info
* fixed long standing issue with file.cpp on windows. Replaced the low level
io functions used on windows.
* made it possible to associate a name with torrents without metadata.
* improved http-downloading performance by requesting entire pieces via
http.
* added plugin interface for extensions. And changed the interface for
enabling extensions.
release 0.11
* added support for incorrectly encoded paths in torrent files
(assumes Latin-1 encoding and converts to UTF-8).
* added support for destructing session objects asynchronously.
* fixed bug with file_progress() with files = 0 bytes
* fixed a race condition bug in udp_tracker_connection that could
cause a crash.
2006-10-02 10:58:28 +02:00
* fixed bug occuring when increasing the sequenced download threshold
with max availability lower than previous threshold.
* fixed an integer overflow bug occuring when built with gcc 4.1.x
* fixed crasing bug when closing while checking a torrent
* fixed bug causing a crash with a torrent with piece length 0
* added an extension to the DHT network protocol to support the
exchange of nodes with IPv6 addresses.
* modified the ip_filter api slightly to support IPv6
* modified the api slightly to make sequenced download threshold
a per torrent-setting.
* changed the address type to support IPv6
* fixed bug in piece picker which would not behave as
expected with regard to sequenced download threshold.
* fixed bug with file_progress() with files > 2 GB.
* added --enable-examples option to configure script.
* fixed problem with the resource distribution algorithm
(controlling e.g upload/download rates).
* fixed incorrect asserts in storage related to torrents with
zero-sized files.
* added support for trackerless torrents (with kademlia DHT).
* support for torrents with the private flag set.
* support for torrents containing bootstrap nodes for the
DHT network.
* fixed problem with the configure script on FreeBSD.
* limits the pipelining used on url-seeds.
* fixed problem where the shutdown always would delay for
session_settings::stop_tracker_timeout seconds.
* session::listen_on() won't reopen the socket in case the port and
interface is the same as the one currently in use.
* added http proxy support for web seeds.
* fixed problem where upload and download stats could become incorrect
in case of high cpu load.
* added more clients to the identifiable list.
* fixed fingerprint parser to cope with latest Mainline versions.
release 0.10
* fixed a bug where the requested number of peers in a tracker request could
be too big.
* fixed a bug where empty files were not created in full allocation mode.
* fixed a bug in storage that would, in rare cases, fail to do a
complete check.
* exposed more settings for tweaking parameters in the piece-picker,
downloader and uploader (http_settings replaced by session_settings).
* tweaked default settings to improve high bandwidth transfers.
* improved the piece picker performance and made it possible to download
popular pieces in sequence to improve disk performance.
* added the possibility to control upload and download limits per peer.
* fixed problem with re-requesting skipped pieces when peer was sending pieces
out of fifo-order.
* added support for http seeding (the GetRight protocol)
* renamed identifiers called 'id' in the public interface to support linking
with Objective.C++
* changed the extensions protocol to use the new one, which is also
implemented by uTorrent.
* factorized the peer_connection and added web_peer_connection which is
able to download from http-sources.
* converted the network code to use asio (resulted in slight api changes
dealing with network addresses).
* made libtorrent build in vc7 (patches from Allen Zhao)
* fixed bug caused when binding outgoing connections to a non-local interface.
2005-11-16 02:26:05 +01:00
* add_torrent() will now throw if called while the session object is
being closed.
* added the ability to limit the number of simultaneous half-open
TCP connections. Flags in peer_info has been added.
release 0.9.1
* made the session disable file name checks within the boost.filsystem library
* fixed race condition in the sockets
* strings that are invalid utf-8 strings are now decoded with the
local codepage on windows
* added the ability to build libtorrent both as a shared library
* client_test can now monitor a directory for torrent files and automatically
start and stop downloads while running
* fixed problem with file_size() when building on windows with unicode support
* added a new torrent state, allocating
* added a new alert, metadata_failed_alert
* changed the interface to session::add_torrent for some speed optimizations.
* greatly improved the command line control of the example client_test.
* fixed bug where upload rate limit was not being applied.
* files that are being checked will no longer stall files that don't need
checking.
* changed the way libtorrent identifies support for its excentions
to look for 'ext' at the end of the peer-id.
* improved performance by adding a circle buffer for the send buffer.
* fixed bugs in the http tracker connection when using an http proxy.
* fixed problem with storage's file pool when creating torrents and then
starting to seed them.
* hard limit on remote request queue and timeout on requests (a timeout
triggers rerequests). This makes libtorrent work much better with
"broken" clients like BitComet which may ignore requests.

* multitracker support
* serves multiple torrents on a single port and a single thread
* supports http proxies and proxy authentication
* gzipped tracker-responses
