E.g., on XScale arm. +- An error in the torrent parsing code could cause crashes. +- The '--topdir' option to btcli add didn't work properly for single file + torrents. +- The system name lookup scheme is now used. In btpd 0.13 only dns lookups + were performed. + +btpd 0.13: +---------- + +Misc: +- cURL is no longer required. btpd now uses its own http client. +- btpd doesn't use threads anymore, so pthreads are not required. +- Needed parts of libevent are now included in btpd. +- I/O errors for torrents no longer make btpd shut down. Instead the + problematic torrent is stopped. +- Added the option '--ip' to specify the ip address btpd will report + to trackers. +- Resume file format changed. Already added torrents will be retested once. +- The torrent info (ratio etc.) are now saved regularly. +- Reduced the amount of outgoing data kept in memory. + +btpd 0.12: +---------- + +Misc: +- btpd now starts with the same set of active torrents as it had when it was + last shut down. The new '--empty-start' option disables this feature. +- btpd now supports the key tracker extension. +- btpd now supports the multi tracker extension. +- btcli list and stat print headers for the presented data. Both commands + displays more data than before. +- Torrent management has changed, with changes to the add and del commands + and two new commands, start and stop, as a result. Operation on torrents + can now be done by number as well as torrent file. +- A small delay has been added for contacting the same announce URL. +- btpd sends keepalive messages. +- The number of have messages sent has been reduced by not sending them to + peers that already have the piece. +- The structure of the torrents directory in the btpd directory has changed. + It is best to remove it before running btpd 0.12. + +Bug fixes: +- Zero sized files in a torrent were not always created. + +btpd 0.11: +---------- + +Bug fixes: +- A file descriptor was closed too early, which could cause btpd to exit + with an error message on systems using epoll. + +btpd 0.10: +---------- + +Misc: +- The protection mode of the ipc socket can now be specified via the new + "--ipcprot" option for btpd. + +Bug fixes: +- The pid file is now written correctly. +- btpd's "-d" option now works for relative paths too. +- Add a time out for handshake completion. Prevously btpd could slowly + fill with unused incoming connections. + +btpd 0.9: +--------- + +Misc: +- Small changes to 'btcli stat' output. + +Bug fixes: +- Use correct value for '--prealloc' default. +- Stopped torrents now show correct rates (0kB/s). +- The test of content that has been modified between runs was broken. + +btpd 0.8: +--------- + +Misc: +- btpd now requires pthreads. +- btpd keeps its logs and other information it needs in its own directory. + $HOME/.btpd is the default location. +- Various changes in btpd options ant btcli use. See '--help'. +- The user chooses where to place content for each torrent. +- Better disk IO performance. +- Configureable disk preallocation to reduce file fragmentation. +- The unchoke algorithm is global instead of per torrent. The number + of peers to upload to is configurable. +- Tracker errors are displayed in 'btcli stat' and most importantly don't + make torrents unload on startup. +- The rates displayed by btcli are now computed in btpd and are averaged + over the last 20 seconds. +- btpd now compares size and mtime of content to see if the resume file is + valid. + +Bug fixes: +- Double uninterest messages could be sent to some peers in endgame mode. +- A function was called prematurely which could trigger an assert in rare + cases. + +btpd 0.7: +--------- + +Bug fixes: +- Some communication stupidities was fixed, resulting in better download + performance. + +btpd 0.6: +--------- + +Misc: +- Set an upper limit on how much data a peer can request at once. + This protects from running out of memory because of a greedy peer. +- End game is more efficient and uses much less memory. + +btpd 0.5: +--------- + +Bug fixes: +- The bitfield could be sent too late. This could cause the receiving + peer to close the connection. + +btpd 0.4: +--------- + +Misc: +- The 0.1 rate limiter is back. It runs at a configurable hz now. +- Added "--bw-hz" option to btpd. +- Multiple have messages can be sent in place of a bitfield. +- If btpd can't write to a peer for 60s, it will be disconnected. + +Bug fixes: +- A calculation error made btpd buggy with small torrents. + This caused strange crashes and many reports on bad hashes in the log. +- The bitfield was sent too early. A peer could miss pieces btpd got + while the peer was in handshake. +- Some situations in end game or with bad hashes could cause a crash. + +btpd 0.3: +--------- + +Misc: +- New download strategy. +- Pipe ten requests instead of five. +- "-d" option added to btpd. +- "--with-warn" option added to configure. The default is now + to compile with warnings off. + +Bug fixes: +- It was possible for blocks to remain marked as busy when a peer + choked or was lost, causing a piece download to wait until end game. +- The peer wanted level could get too high during end game. + +btpd 0.2: +--------- + +Misc: +- A new way to do rate limiting. +- Compact mode is now used when talking to the tracker. + +Bug fixes: +- A buffer was too small by four bytes, causing a buffer overflow + on the heap in certain conditions. +- An iteration over a list was unsafe and could cause a crash. +- Unloading a torrent didn't kill peers in handshake for that torrent, + and a crash was possible when the handshake finished. +- The counter for uploaded data was updated too early. +- Fixed illegal operator for test(1) in configure. |
