aria2 1.16.5
aria2 1.17.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug that invalid range error is thrown when
requesting range starts from 0 in HTTP download.
This release adds Mac OS X native SSL/TLS library support. The IPv6
asynchronous DNS is enabled by default and A/AAAA lookups are done in
parallel. The simple Happy Eyeballs algorithm was implemented to
mitigate long timeout when connecting to IPv6 host on dual-stack host.
--save-session option only saves the options specified by command-line
or RPC.
Changes
-------
* Fix bug that invalid range error when requesting range starting 0
* Updated Russian manual
Since the change b782a56b, we use endOffsetOverride_ as the return
value of getEndByte(). But aria2 does not send Range header field
when range starts 0 (this is because some server returns error if it
received Range: 0-), and the HttpRequest::isRangeSatisfied() checks
the equality of getEndByte() and the end byte in response header and
fails. The fix is send Range header if getEndByte() is set.

* Updated Portuguese manual
aria2 1.16.4
============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug that active downloads are not saved with
--save-session-interval and the bug that aria2 hangs when size of
download result exceeds its maximum. BitTorrent UDP tracker support
was added. If the filename specified using --save-session ends with
".gz", aria2 stores the session file in gzipped form. The -i option
can handle this gzipped file as well as plain text file. 1.15.2 based
Portuguese translated manual was added.
Changes
-------
* Make configure argument meaning more consistent and obvious.
Most other software uses --disable/--without for features it does
build or at least check by default.
Change aria2 configure options so that:
* --enable-*: do not build by default, unless --enable specified
* --disable-*: check and build by default, unless --disable specified
* --with-*: do not use by default, unless --with specified
* --without-*: check and use by default, unless without specified

* Allow for out-of-tree Sphinx builds

* Bring back datetime in console log
* Run checksum check if -V and -c are used and file is completed
With -c option, aria2 can continue download after the existing file
position. If it is not completed, then after completion aria2 runs
checksum checking if available. But if existing file has already
been completed, then CreateRequestCommand exits without issuing
checksum checking. And aria2 treats it download error because it
needs checksum verification but it has not been done. This change
fixes this by properly checking download state and issue checksum
checking before CreateRequestCommand.
* Support for gzipped -i and --save-session
Saved sessions may very large, as in hundreds and even thousands of
megabyte when dealing with large queues. Add support to save and
reload sessions to gzipped files, when libz is available.
The session serializer will output gzipped contents when the file
ends with .gz, while the input file reader (UriListParser) will
accept whatever is thrown at it.
Document -i/--save-session gzip behaviour

* Do not use a virtual varargs function
This stuff breaks in some compiler (configurations)
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Check for sys/signal.h and/or signal.h
mingw-w64 does not actually have sys/signal.h, while OSX currently
has a broken signal.h Better check the presence of both and use
sys/signal.h if present, else signal.h

* Hygiene: Fix some clang warnings, mostly unused private members.

* Fix bustage on OSX with ./configure CC=cc CXX=c++ (clang)
Contributed by Nils Maier
* Do not reference RequestGroups longer than necessary
There is an initial vector of SharedHandle<RequestGroup> to seed the
DownloadEngine. This vector was however kept alive via main.cc ->
MultiUrlRequestInfo up until the program exits, hence effetively
leaking all initial RequestGroups and associated object instances.
Hence, as a matter of dirty-workaround, drop the contents of that
initial vector as soon as it is not required any longer.

* Detect console with on Windows

* Fix infinite loop when size of downloadResults_ exceeds maxDownloadResult_
* Support BitTorrent UDP tracker
It shares UDP listening port with IPv4 DHT. At the moment, in order
to enable UDP tracker support, enable IPv4 DHT.
* Show correct end byte in error message when HTTP response range is not ok
Previously, unless HTTP pipelining is enabled, end byte in that
message is always 0. With this change, it shows correct end byte
sent to the HTTP server.
* Add Portuguese manual
This translation is based on aria2 version 1.15.2 manual.

* Fix bug that active downloads are not saved with --save-session-interval
* Append --static to pkg-config arguments when ARIA2_STATIC=yes
* Save options directly specified for download in --save-session
aria2 1.16.3
============
This change makes --save-session save only options specified for
download, more specifically, options in command-line, -i file and
via RPC. The other options from conf file and default values are not
saved. This will drastically decrease the size of session file.
Release Note
------------
* Save URI returned only from FileEntry::getRemainingUris()
This release fixes the bug which causes random crash. It also fixes
socket option setting failure on Windows platform.
The currently used URIs are inserted back into remaining URI list in
FileEntry::putBackRequest(), which overlaps to some of the URIs in
spentUris_. If we save spent URIs, each time save is performed, the
number of URIs are increased due to this overlap. This change fixes
this bug.
Changes
-------
* Print linked 3rd party libraries with version in `aria2c -v` output
* Fix failure to set TCP_NODELAY on Windows
* AppleTLS: Support credentials via KeyChain fingerprints
On Windows setting TCP_NODELAY after non-blocking connect fails at
least on Windows 7.

* Fix invalid iterator handling when deleting RequestGroup
* AppleTLS: Implement AppleTLS and Apple Message Digest

aria2 1.16.2
============
* Use info level log for system trusted ca imports failure
Release Note
------------
This is because on some platforms (gnutls on cygwin for example),
library always fails for this function and getting ERROR every time
aria2c invoked is too hard.
This release fixes the bug which causes long running BitTorrent
download to stall. The several new options have been added.
* Don't add Windows native DLLs for Cygwin build
Changes
-------
* Remove deprecated options: --enable-direct-io and --metalink-servers
* Check SSL_OP_NO_COMPRESSION is available before using it
* Deprecate --enable-async-dns6
* Fix bug returnPeer is not called if sequence_ == INITIATOR_SEND_KEY
The IPv6 asynchronous name resolver is enabled if the host has at
least one interface with IPv6 address configured (the loopback
address will not be counted), which is roughly the same behaviour of
the standard getaddrinfo(3). To disable IPv6 asynchronous name
resolver, use --disable-ipv6.
In InitiatorMSEHandshakeCommand, when aborting connection, we must
return peer to the PeerStorage. But it is not done if sequence_ is
INITIATOR_SEND_KEY. This causes stale Peer objects whose usedBy()
returns true eventually occupies peer list and aria2 cannot make any
connections.
* Fix uninitialized UDPTrackerClient::numWatchers_
* Accept k and m as well as K and M in util::getRealSize()
* Implement simple Happy Eyeballs for HTTP/FTP downloads
* mingw32: Make NTFS sparse file on --file-allocation=trunc
* Parallel A and AAAA record lookups with c-ares
* Added --save-session-interval option
--save-session-interval option saves error/unfinished downloads to a
file specified by --save-session option every SEC seconds. If 0 is
given, file will be saved only when aria2 exits.
* Use request URI as referer if --referer="*" is given
* Log warn if unknown option is found in config file or -i file
* Added --console-log-level option
--console-log-level option sets log level to output to console.
aria2 1.16.1
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds the ability to persist GID across sessions. The GID
will be saved with --save-session. There are several restrictions how
GID is persisted. See the manual for details. For this change, now GID
is 64 bits binary data and represented by 16 characters hex string in
RPC query. The disk cache feature was added, which may reduce disk
activity. The console readout was redesigned. The warning displayed
when --file-allocation=falloc is used on MinGW32 build was removed as
a bug.
Changes
-------
* mingw32: Re-open files with read-only mode enabled on seeding
On Mingw32 build, if aria2 opens file with GENERIC_WRITE access
right, some programs cannot open the file aria2 is seeding. To avoid
this situation, re-open files with read-only enabled when seeding is
about to begin.
* Save gid option with --save-session option
* Added --gid option
This option sets GID manually. aria2 identifies each download by the
ID called GID. The GID must be hex string of 16 characters, thus
[0-9a-zA-Z] are allowed and leading zeros must not be stripped. The
GID all 0 is reserved and must not be used. The GID must be unique,
otherwise error is reported and the download is not added. This
option is useful when restoring the sessions saved using
--save-session option. If this option is not used, new GID is
generated by aria2.
* Use 64 bits random bytes as GID
This change replaces the current 64 bit sequential GID with 64 bits
random bytes GID in an attempt to support persistent
GID. Internally, the GID is stored as uint64_t. For human
representation and RPC interface, GID is represented as 16 bytes hex
string. For console readout, 16 bytes are too long, so it is
abbreviated to first 6 bytes. When querying GID in RPC calls, user
can speicfy the prefix of GID as long as the prefix is shared by
more than 1 GID entries.
* Fixed BitfieldMan::getOffsetCompletedLength overflow on 32-bit systems
* mingw32: Use HANDLE only for MinGW32 build
* Changed console readout, making it more compact
"SIZE:" is removed because it is obvious. SEEDING, SEED, SPD and UP
are now replaced with SEED, SD, DL and UL respectively.
* Compact readout when more than 1 simultaneous downloads are going on
If more than 1 simultaneous downloads are going on, use more compact
format in readout. Currently, at most 5 download stats are
displayed.
util::abbrevSize() is rewritten to support "Gi" unit and provides
more compact abbreviation.
* Console color output
Log level and download result string is now colored.
* Logger: Simplified console output and change level format in log
The date and time are now removed from console output. The log
level is now formatted as "[LEVEL]".
* Start to find faster host before the number of missing segments becomes 1
The old implementation starts to find faster host when the number of
missing segment becomes 1. Because of --min-split-size option,
before the number of missing segment becomes 1, the number of
connection becomes 1 and it can be slow. In this case, we have to
wait until the last segment is reached. The new implementation
starts to find faster host when the remaining length is less than
--min-split-size * 2, to mitigate the problem stated above.
* Removed warning when --file-allocation=falloc is used in MinGW32 build
The warning was just a mistake. SetFilePointerEx + SetEndOfFile
actually allocate disk space.
* Write data in 4K aligned offset in write with disk cache enabled
This greatly reduces disk activity especially on Win + NTFS. Not so
much difference on Linux.
* mingw32: Removed FSCTL_SET_SPARSE set
* Added --disk-cache option
This option enables disk cache. If SIZE is 0, the disk cache is
disabled. This feature caches the downloaded data in memory, which
grows to at most SIZE bytes. The cache storage is created for aria2
instance and shared by all downloads. The one advantage of the disk
cache is reduce the disk seek time because the data is written in
larger unit and it is reordered by the offset of the file. If the
underlying file is heavily fragmented it is not the case.
aria2 1.16.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds SSL/TLS encryption support in RPC transport. The new
RPC method aria2.appendUri is added, which is a wrapper to
aria2.changeUri. The Content-Disposition parser is now RFC 6266
conformant. The resource leak in XmlParser, JSON and Bencode parser
was fixed. The uploaded data size calculation bug was fixed. For
MinGW32 build, files are now opened with read/write shared mode.
Changes
-------
* mingw32: Open file using _wsopen and added --enable-mmap support
I tried CreateFile but the subsequent ReadFile fails with Access
Denied if sparse file is read on NTFS. I mostly reverted previous
changes and use _wsopen with read/write share enabled instead of
CreateFile.
This change also includes --enable-mmap support for MinGW32
build. Memory mapped file may be useful for 64-bits OS and lots of
RAM. Currently, FlushViewOfFile is not called during the download,
so it is slightly vulnerable against sudden power loss. I found lots
of read when resuming download due to page fault. So for now it is
useful for the initial download. I recommend not to use
--file-allocation=prealloc with --enable-mmap for MinGW32, because
it triggers page faults even in the initial download. Anyway, the
option is experimental.
* Removed PO files and generated aria2.pot from repository
Currently, message translation is done at launchpad. All PO files
can be exported from there. The merge process from launchpad is done
when new release. First download export file from launchpad And use
import-po script to import PO files into po directory.
* Set F_GLOBAL_NOCACHE for Mac OS X
* Enabled TCP_NODELAY
* Don't use AC_FUNC_MMAP
Don't use AC_FUNC_MMAP becaue it fails on some platforms (e.g.,
OpenWRT) which have mmap and it works in the way we use in aria2.
Instead use mmap in AC_CHECK_FUNCS list.
* Added --force-save option.
--force-save option saves download with --save-session option even
if the download is completed or removed. This may be useful to save
BitTorrent seeding which is recognized as completed state. The
default value is false.
* Get the correct uploaded data size
Subtract msgHdrLen_ from writtenLength to get the uploaded data
size. Without this correction, the seeder assumes it has uploaded
more data than it actually has.
* Made --http-no-cache false by default
* Fixed memory leak in AsyncNameResolver
* Fixed resource leak in XmlParser and GenericParser
* Reset iostream format state
* gnutls: Added more status checking when verifying peer
* Content-Disposition parser conforming to RFC 6266.
RFC 2231 Continuation is not supported.
* Reworked download/upload statistics calculation
The old implementation calculates download/upload statistics for a
RequestGroup by summing up all PeerStat objects. For global
statistics, those are summed together. This clearly incurs runtime
penalty and we introduced some kind of caching which updates
statistics every 250ms but it did not work right.
This change removes all these aggregation code, and instead makes
RequestGroup and RequestGroupMan objects hold NetStat object and
download/upload bytes are directly calculated by thier own NetStat.
This is far more simplar than the old way and less runtime penalty
and brings more accuracy.
* Added --rpc-save-upload-metadata option
If true is given, which is default, save the uploaded torrent or
metalink metadata in the directory specified by --dir option. The
filename consists of SHA1-hash hex string of metadata plus
extension. For torrent, the extension is '.torrent'. For metalink,
it is '.meta4'. If false is given to this option, the downloads
added by aria2.addTorrent or aria2.addMetalink will not be saved by
--save-session option.
* Perform SSL/TLS handshake after checking whether connection is established
* Fixed bug that --enable-mmap won't work if MultiDiskAdaptor is used
* RPC over SSL/TLS transport
To enable RPC over SSL/TLS, specify server certificate and private
key using --rpc-certificate and --rpc-private-key options and enable
--rpc-secure option. After the encryption is enabled, use https and
wss scheme to access RPC server.
* aria2rpc: Added appendUri command
This command calls aria2.changeUri(GID, fileIndex, [], [URI,...])
internally.
* Don't send Proxy-Connection header field
* Don't set SNI hostname if it does not include "." for GNUTLS
* Disable SSL/TLS compression with OpenSSL
* Pause download even if download is completed
This allows to pause and unpause BitTorrent seed.
* Use execlp() instead of execl()
But we don't wait for AAAA query response if A query response has
been received. If we got IPv4 lookup response, we don't wait for
IPv6 lookup response. This is because DNS server may drop AAAA query
and we have to wait for the long time before timeout. We don't do
the inverse, because, based on todays deployment of DNS server,
almost all of them can respond A query just fine.
