* Improved the bandwidth limiter (it now implements a leaky bucket).
* Improved the HTTP seed downloader to report accurate progress.
* Added more client peer-id signatures to be recognized.
* added support for HTTP servers that skip the CR before the NL at line breaks.
* fixed bug in the HTTP code that onlcy accepted headers case sensitive.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
Initial release 0.9
* multitracker support
* serves multiple torrents on a single port and a single thread
* supports http proxies and proxy authentication
* gzipped tracker-responses
* block level piece picker
* queues torrents for file check, instead of checking all of them in parallel
* uses separate threads for checking files and for main downloader
* upload and download rate limits
* piece-wise, unordered, incremental file allocation
* fast resume support
* supports files > 2 gigabytes
* supports the no_peer_id=1 extension
* support for udp-tracker protocol
* number of connections limit
* delays sending have messages
* can resume pieces downloaded in any order
* adjusts the length of the request queue depending on download rate
* supports compact=1
* selective downloading
* ip filter
