aria2 1.8.1
===========
Release Note
------------
This release fixes the bug that causes segmentation fault if unknown
options exist in aria2.conf file and user cannot include empty line in
aria2.conf.
Following new command line options are added: --http-no-cache,
--bt-metadata-only and --human-readable option. --dir option now
treats "" as ".". --all-proxy, --http-proxy, --https-proxy and
--ftp-proxy option accept empty string "". When "" is given, it
erases previously defined proxy.
aria2.getSessionInfo XML-RPC method was added. aria2.tellWaiting and
aria2.tellStopped XML-RPC method accept a negative integer as
offset. For example, in aria2.tellWaiting, 'offset' == -1 points last
download in the waiting queue and 'offset' == -2 points the download
before the last download, and so on. 'dir' and 'files' key were added
to the response struct of aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method. The value
associated with 'files' key is the list of files. Its element is the
same struct used in aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method. 'uris' key was
added to the response struct of aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method. The
value associated with 'uris' key is the list of URIs. Its element is
the same struct used in aria2.getUris XML-RPC method. aria2 now
returns gzip compressed XML-RPC response if XML-RPC client accepts
gzip content encoding.
Changes
-------
* aria2 now returns gzip compressed XML-RPC response if XML-RPC
client accepts gzip content encoding.
* Added dir and files key to the response struct of aria2.tellStatus
XML-RPC method. The value associated with files key is the list of
files. Its element is the same struct used in aria2.getFiles
XML-RPC method. Added uris key to the response struct of
aria2.getFiles XML-RPC method. The value associated with uris key
is the list of URIs. Its element is the same struct used in
aria2.getUris XML-RPC method.
* Added aria2.getSessionInfo XML-RPC method. This method returns a
struct containing Session ID, which is generated each time when
aria2 is invoked.
* Now offset argument in aria2.tellWaiting and aria2.tellStopped
accept a negative integer. 'offset' == -1 points last download in
the waiting queue and 'offset' == -2 points the download before the
last download, and so on. The downloads in the response are in
reversed order.
* Added --human-readable option. This option, when true is given,
prints sizes and speed in human readable format(e.g., 1.2Ki, 3.4Mi)
in the console readout. The default value is true and it looks
exactly the same as aria2-1.8.0. So the 'new feature' appears when
false is given. In this case, sizes and speed are printed in
bytes. No Ki, Mi units conversion is used. This may be useful for
a program to parse the output of aria2.
* Now --all-proxy, --http-proxy, --https-proxy and --ftp-proxy option
accept empty string "". When "" is given, it erases previously
defined proxy.
* Added --bt-metadata-only option. If true is given to this option,
aria2 downloads metadata only. The file(s) described in metadata
will not be downloaded. This option has effect only when BitTorrent
Magnet URI is used. See also --bt-save-metadata option.
* Fixed memory leak. Commands stored in std::deque<Command*> are not
deleted when exception is thrown.
* Replaced '/' and '\' with '_' in HTTP/FTP filename.
* Treat --dir="" as --dir="."
* Added --http-no-cache option. When true is given, aria2 sends
Cache-Control: no-cache and Pragma: no-cache header to avoid cached
content. If false is given , these headers are not sent and you
can add Cache-Control header with a directive you like using
--header option.
* Added following sentence to the help message of --out option:
--out option is ignored when -Z is used.
* Added --bt-save-metadata option to -i list options.
* Fixed compile error with i586-mingw32msvc-gcc 4.4.2, which is
debian's corss compiler, without any additional libraries.
* Fixed the bug that causes segmentation fault if unknown option is
put in aria2.conf file. BUG#2928303
* Ignore port message with port=0.
* Updated autoconf/automake auxiliary files.
