aria2 1.11.2
aria2 1.12.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds the ability to handle metalink file which contains
relative URI in metalink:url and metalink:metaurl element. The
username and password specified in command-line are now masked with
"*" immediately after parsed, so that ps cannot show username and
password. In XML-RPC, aria2 now treats data without data type tag as
string. In MinGW32 build, cmd.exe is specified explicitly to run .bat
file.
This release adds --pause option which makes download paused state
immediately when added. If --save-session is used, aria2 will save
paused download with --pause option. aria2.getGlobalStat RPC method
was added. It returns global statistics such as overall download
speed. This release also fixes the bug that RPC request fails if it
is compressed. aria2 now won't save removed download in --save-session
text file. --file-allocation=falloc now works in MinGW32 build. This
only works with NTFS. Russian translation of man page and HTML manual
was added. We added more command line options in this release. See
Changes for details.
Changes
-------
* Updated Japanese, Spanish and Simplified Chinese translation.
Thanks to all translators.
* Use ServerStat to find faster server.
* Eliminated few seconds delay when downloads stop or pause.
* Added Russian translation of man page and HTML manual contributed
by ITriskTI.
* Added --metalink-base-uri option. --metalink-uri option specifies
base URI to resolve relative URI in metalink file stored in local
disk. If URI points to a directory, URI must end with '/'.
* Added aria2.getGlobalStat RPC method. It returns overall
download/upload speed and the number of active/stopped/waiting
downloads.
* Run batch file with cmd.exe. Quoted user command. It seems that we
have to specify the full path to cmd.exe in the first argument of
CreateProcess() to run batch file in proper manner. We first
determine the full path to cmd.exe. To do this, we get windir
environment variable and concatenate it with "\system32\cmd.exe".
* Added --pause option. This option pauses download after
added. This option is effective only when --enable-rpc=true is
given. When --save-session option is used and there are paused
downloads, they are saved with --pause=true so that it will become
paused state when the session is recovered.
* Fixed the bug that the message "Loaded cookies from ..." appears
when loading cookies from that file failed.
* Abort aria2 if it could not setup any RPC server.
* Applied patch from Dan Fandrich. This patch fixes compatibility
issue when compiling aria2 on older systems.
* Added --truncate-console-readout option. This option truncates
console readout to fit in a single line. This is default. Give
false value to this option to tell aria2 not to truncate console
readout.
* Support relative URI in Metalink file. If relative URI is found in
Metalink file, aria2 resolves its full URI contatenating the URI
from which Metalink file is retrieved and relative URI in Metalink
file. This feature is not available if Metalink file in local disk
is specified in command line.
* Cache and reuse RpcMethod objects.
* Erase user and password specified in command-line from argv. The
user and password is masked with '*'.
* Allowed missing params in system.multicall RPC method.
* If no data type tag is used in XML-RPC, treat the data as string.
* Added --stream-piece-selector option. This option specifies piece
selection algorithm used in HTTP/FTP download. Piece means fixed
length segment which is downloaded in parallel in segmented
download. If 'default' is given, aria2 selects piece so that it
reduces the number of establishing connection. This is reasonable
default behaviour because establishing connection is an expensive
operation. If 'inorder' is given, aria2 selects piece which has
minimum index. Index=0 means first of the file. This will be useful
to view movie while downloading it. --enable-http-pipelining option
may be useful to reduce reconnection overhead. Please note that
aria2 honors --min-split-size option, so it will be necessary to
specify a reasonable value to --min-split-size option.
* Removed unnecessary template parameter from std::make_pair call.
The patch was contributed from Dan Fandrich.
aria2 1.11.1
============
* Implemented fast file allocation in MinGW32 build. We use
SetFilePointerEx and SetEndOfFile to allocate extents. This only
works with NTFS. To enable this feature, --file-allocation=falloc
must be given.
Release Note
------------
* Only percent-encode non-printable ASCII chars(0x00-0x1f), non-ASCII
chars(>0x7f), ' ', '"', '<' and '>' for URIs supplied by user and
remote server(usually Location header field).
This release fixes the bug that aria2 does not work on platforms which
have kqueue() system call due to invalid timeout parameter. The
--show-console-readout option was added. This option toggles the
appearance of console readout.
* Don't throw exception if Z_BUF_ERROR is encountered in GZipEncoder.
This fixed the bug that compressed RPC request failed.
Changes
-------
* Added --show-console-readout option. This option toggles
appearance of console readout.
* Fixed the bug that microsecond part of timeval overwlows in
waitData(). This bug affects platforms which have kqueue() system
call. Those systems are FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD and Darwin (Mac OS
X).
aria2 1.11.0
============
Release Note
------------
This release adds JSON-RPC interface. The JSON-RPC and XML-RPC shares
same APIs. The JSON-RPC also supports JSONP. 2 new options were added:
--retry-wait and --async-dns-server. The downloads added by
aria2.addTorrent and aria2.addMetalink RPC method are now saved to the
file specified in --save-session option. The proxy options and related
environment variables now accept https:// and ftp:// scheme. This
release fixes the bug that causes segmentation fault when unpausing
downloads in some situations. MinGW32 build now looks for USERPROFILE
and the combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH to get user's home
directory and doesn't check permission of .netrc file.
Changes
-------
* Updated gettext to 0.18
* Added JSON-RPC support. --enable-xml-rpc was deprecated and
--enable-rpc should be used instead. Similarly, --xml-rpc-*
options were replaced with --rpc-* options. We are implementing
JSON-RPC based on JSON-RPC 2.0 draft spec.
* Fixed rounding error in DownloadEngine::run(). This fixes the bug
that executeCommand() with Command::STATUS_ALL is not called in
every interval correctly because of rounding error in timer.
* Refresh buckets at DHT initialization without checking serialized
time. Checking serialized time does not work if you stop aria2 as
soon as it started DHT. The serialized time in dht.dat will be
updated, but buckets are not updated and still old. When you
restart aria2 again soon, it does not refresh buckets because
serialized time is recent.
* Save downloads added by aria2.addTorrent or aria2.addMetalink in
--save-session file. Uploaded data are saved as file named hex
string of sha1 hash of uploaded data plus extension(".torrent" for
torrent and ".meta4" for metalink). For example,
0a3893293e27ac0490424c06de4d09242215f0a6.torrent. The directory
where these files are saved is specified by --dir option. These
file paths are written in --save-session file.
* Fixed the bug that causes segmentation fault when unpause
RequestGroup which has resolved BtDependency.
* Look for USERPROFILE and the combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH
to get user's home directory in MinGW32 build. Usually HOME
environment variable is defined in *nix like OSes, but not in
Windows. So in MinGW32 build, if HOME is not defined, we also look
for USERPROFILE and the combination of HOMEDRIVE and HOMEPATH.
* Fixed the bug that DownloadContext::basePath_ is not escaped.
* Added Date, Expires and Cache-Control response header field to RPC
response.
* Added --async-dns-server option. This option accepts comma
separated list of DNS server addresses used in asynchronous DNS
resolver. Usually asynchronous DNS resolver reads DNS server
addresses from /etc/resolv.conf. When this option is used, it uses
DNS servers specified in this option instead of ones in
/etc/resolv.conf. You can specify both IPv4 and IPv6 address. This
option is useful when the system does not have /etc/resolv.conf and
user does not have the permission to create it.
* Accept https:// and ftp:// in proxy options and environment variables.
* Fixed overflow in the calculation of progress percentage for file
allocation and hash check when off_t is 32bit.
* Accept HTTP 304 reply as success when If-None-Match request-header
field is specified using --header option. When --conditional-get
is used, --allow-overwrite is now required to overwrite existing
file.
* Added aria2.removeDownloadResult RPC method. The method signature
is aria2.removeDownloadResult(gid). This method removes
completed/error/removed download denoted by gid from memory. This
method returns "OK" for success.
* Use IP address of control connection to connect to the remote server in
FTP passive mode.
* Don't check permission of .netrc file in MinGW32 build.
* Added --retry-wait option. This option was once existed in aria2
but erased on 2009-09-20. Now it is resurrected once again. We
choose 0 as default value for backward compatibility. Now we retry
HTTP download when remote server returns "503 Service Unavailable"
if --retry-wait > 0. We also added error code 29:
HTTP_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE.
* Don't show metadata download and paused download in "Download Results".
* Don't save removed download in --save-session text file. Now stat
column of removed downloads in Download Results is 'RM' instead of
INPR.
