From ae3952d22ce210080e252440d0ec209908d95cf4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eudald Gubert i Roldan Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2020 16:36:09 +0200 Subject: Markdown --- CHANGES | 207 ---------------------------------------------------------------- 1 file changed, 207 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 CHANGES (limited to 'CHANGES') diff --git a/CHANGES b/CHANGES deleted file mode 100644 index 503addb..0000000 --- a/CHANGES +++ /dev/null @@ -1,207 +0,0 @@ -btpd 0.16: ----------- - -Misc: -- Added "start all" (start -a) command. -- Allow adding multiple torrents at once. -- Custom list formatting options. -- Man pages for btpd, btcli, and btinfo. - -Bug fixes: -- Handle .torrent files larger than 2MB. -- http parsing and addrinfo freeing fixes. - -btpd 0.15: ----------- - -Bug fixes: -- The event loop could busy loop for up to a millisecond sometimes. -- On some platforms btpd couldn't initiate connections to other peers. -- The timer code was broken on MacOS X. - -btpd 0.14: ----------- - -Misc: -- IPv6 support. -- Bans peers with bad data. -- Better tracker compatability and more reliable tracker communication. -- Show tracker counts in btcli stat. -- Compiles on Solaris 10. -- Btpd will now signal startup failures via the process exit value and - print the failure reason to stdout. -- Better shutdown and torrent stop behaviour. -- Needs pthreads again. -- Removed libevent in favour of own event loop code. - -Bug fixes: -- An integer array was misaligned, which could cause crashes on systems - with alignment requirements. 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. -- cgit 1.4.1
