aria2 1.9.4 =========== Release Note ------------ This release fixes the bug that connection reuse on FTP does not work if FTP server changes root directory based on account. It also fixes the bug that reading Metalink document from pipe (-M- option) does not work when aria2 is built with expat or old libxml2(2.7.6 or earlier). Now aria2 does not emit error if given Metalink document is empty(no file element). The response of aria2.tellStopped XML-RPC method now has more information: totalLength, completedLength, uploadLength, bitfield and so on. Changes ------- * Updated Italian translation. Added Korean translation. Thanks to all translators. * Fixed the bug that reading Metalink from pipe fails on older libxml2. It only accepts "-" as a special keyword to read stdin. * Added log message when cookies are loaded. Added filename to log message when serializing session. * Treat SIGHUP and SIGTERM signal as emergency shutdown because they are usually issued by system or other process. * Don't throw exception when Metalink document is empty(no file element). It is a valid Metalink document anyway. * Fixed the bug that feeding Metalink XML via pipe (-M- option) does not work when aria2 is built with expat. Fixed the bug that when Metalink XML is fed via pipe and --save-session is used, entry "/dev/stdin" is saved in session file. * Added totalLength, completedLength, uploadLength, bitfield, downloadSpeed, uploadSpeed, infoHash, numSeeders, pieceLength, numPieces, connections and dir to the response of aria2.tellStopped XML-RPC method. aria2.tellWaiting now always returns numSeeders for BitTorrent download. * Fixed the bug that connection pooling does not take into account proxy. This means that when connection A via proxy X is pooled, it will be wrongly reused in the download using proxy Y. * Fixed the bug that FTP download may fail when control connection is reused. This happens because FTP server can offer different root directory for different account. If pooled connections has different root directory, then download will fail. aria2 1.9.3 =========== Release Note ------------ This release fixes the bug that aria2 cuts filename after ';' if filename in Content-Disposition header includes ';'. It also fixes the bug that name attribute of file element in Metalink file is not properly sanitized. Changes ------- * Fixed the bug that name attribute of file element in Metalink file is not properly sanitized. * Fixed the bug that if filename in Content-Disposition header includes ';', aria2 cuts filename after ';'. aria2 1.9.2 =========== Release Note ------------ This release adds kqueue, port_associate/port_getn and poll() support for socket event notification to eliminate 1024 file descriptor limitation of select() call. The bug that aria2.unpause and aria2.unpauseAll XML-RPC method fail when -s1 is given in command-line argument was fixed. Changes ------- * Print warning when trying to add file descriptor >= FD_SET or < 0 to fd_set for other than MinGW32 build. For MinGW32 build, print warning when trying to add file descriptor to fd_set when it already contains FD_SET file descriptors. * Defined FD_SETSIZE 1024 for MinGW32. * Added missing timespec.h to SRCS * Fixed the bug that aria2.unpause fails with -s1. * Supported poll, kqueue, port_associate/port_getn for socket event notification aria2 1.9.1 =========== Release Note ------------ This release adds the ability to save unfinished downloads as text file. aria2 can read the file with -i option on restart. This release also adds the ability to download file from scratch when aria2 sees resume is not supported by remote server. This feature is disabled by default. See --always-resume option for details. --no-proxy option accepts IPv4 network address with CIDR block. aria2 now doesn't send "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip" by default. --http-accept-gzip option was added to toggle this behavior. aria2 now treats lines starting "#" in -i list as comments. Several XML-RPC methods were added: aria2.pause, aria2.unpause, aria2.shutdown, and their families. The new exist status code '8' was added. The bug that makes aria2 hang when system time changes while aria2 is running was fixed on MinGW32, Mac OS X and the system which has clock_gettime(). Several other bugs also have been fixed. Changes ------- * Updated Ukrainian, Russian, Simplified Chinese, German and Greek translation. Thanks to all translators. * Added warning for the system which lacks clock_gettime with CLOCK_MONOTONIC. * Fixed the bug that hash check hangs when aria2.pause is issued while aria2 is checking piece hashes. Fixed the bug that the download is paused after file allocation completion even if aria2.pause is issued during file allocation. * Fixed compile error on opensolaris * Added aria2.forcePause, aria2.pauseAll, aria2.forcePauseAll and aria2.unpauseAll XML-RPC method. * Use clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, ...) if it is available and usable to prevent from aria2 from being affected by system time change. * Added aria2.pause and aria2.unpause XML-RPC method. aria2.pause pauses the download denoted by gid. gid is of type string. The status of paused download becomes "paused" and the download is placed on the first position of waiting queue. As long as the status is "paused", the download is not started. To change status to "waiting", use aria2.unpause method. This method returns GID of paused download. aria2.unpause changes the status of the download denoted by gid from "paused" to "waiting". This makes the download eligible to restart. gid is of type string. This method returns GID of unpaused download. * Added --save-session=FILE option. This option saves error/unfinished downloads to FILE on exit. You can pass this output file to aria2c with -i option on restart. Please note that downloads added by aria2.addTorrent and aria2.addMetalink XML-RPC method are not saved. * Fixed the bug that FTP data connection is not established via proxy when --ftp-proxy is defined and --ftp-pasv=true and --proxy-method=tunnel. * Fixed the bug that web-seed URI is not percent-encoded. * Added aria2.shutdown and aria2.forceShutdown XML-RPC method. These methods, as their name imply, shutdown aria2. These methods are useful for Windows because it lacks signal mechanism. * Don't send "Accept-Encoding: default, gzip" by default. This is because some servers respond with "Content-Encoding: gzip" for a file which itself is gzipped file and aria2 inflates them. This is a problem if user doesn't want to inflate the file. Apparently this is server configuration error, but we cannot do anything about this. So we turned this off. Added --http-accept-gzip option. If true is given to this option, aria2 sends "Accept-Encoding: deflate, gzip" request header and inflates response if remote server responds with "Content-Encoding: gzip" or "Content-Encoding: deflate". We removed extension "tgz" hack in order not to inflate files with tgz extensions. * Made aria2 not send "application/metalink4+xml,application/metalink+xml" in Accept header for web-seeding URIs and tracker request. * Added --dht-message-timeout option. * Added --bt-tracker-connect-timeout and --bt-tracker-timeout option. * Documented that specifying --seed-time=0 disables seeding after download completed. * Drop connection if same Peer ID has been already seen. * Fixed the bug that waiting download unintentionally starts when URIs are added to it using aria2.changeUri XML-RPC method. * Fixed compile error with g++-4.4 on FreeBSD. * Fixed the bug that URIs added using aria2.changeUri XML-RPC method are not used immediately if there is no URI remaining before calling aria2.changeUri and the number of connection is less than the value in -s(or -C for Metalink downloads). * Added --always-resume and --max-resume-failure-tries option. If --always-resume=false is given, when all given URIs do not support resume or aria2 encounters N URIs which does not support resume (N is the value specified using --max-resume-failure-tries option), aria2 downloads file from scratch. The default behavior is --always-resume=true, which means if all URIs do not support resume, download fails. I think this is OK because user normally doesn't like to see that partially downloaded file is overwritten(this is particularly true if file size is big). This option is useful when aria2 is used as a download backend and graceful falling back to overwritten behavior is preferable. Added exit status value 8, which means download failed because server did not support resume. * Added --remove-control-file option. This option removes control file(*.aria2 file) before download. Using with --allow-overwrite=true, download always starts from scratch. This will be useful for users behind proxy server which disables resume. For such proxy user, -C1 is also recommended for Metalink downloads to avoid establishing unnecessary connections. * Added v key in DHT message. aria2's DHT version is independent of the package version and we defined it as 1 at the moment. It is defined as DHT_VERSION in src/DHTConstants.h. aria2's DHT version scheme is "A2"+2bytes DHT version number in network byte order. * Fixed the bug that value of numSeeders in aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method response is integer, while it should be string. The man page says it is string. When peer's port is not listening port, set '0' to port in aria2.getPeers response. * Lines starting "#" in -i list are treated as comments. * Accept IPv4 network address with CIDR block in --no-proxy option and no_proxy environment variable. Current implementation does not resolve hostname in URI to compare network address. So it is only effecive if URI has numeric IP address. aria2 1.9.0 =========== Release Note ------------ This release adds Metalink4 support and BitTorrent Local Peer Discovery. aria2.changeUri XML-RPC method was added. It enables you to add/remove URIs to existing downloads dynamically. The user and password for proxy server now can be specified in command-line separately. We refactored the code based on profiler results, so aria2 now runs more efficiently than ever. Russian and Simplified Chinese translation were updated. Changes ------- * Resurrected --http-proxy-user and --http-proxy-passwd option. Added --https-proxy-user, --https-proxy-passwd, --ftp-proxy-user, --ftp-proxy-passwd, --all-proxy-user, --all-proxy-passwd option. * Updated Russian and Simplified Chinese translation. * Added --reuse-uri option. This option has existed quite long, but been hidden. * Fixed the bug that filename is percent encoded where it must be percent decoded in sendMdtm(). * Added getServers XML-RPC method. It returns currently connected HTTP(S)/FTP server and download speed, etc. * Added 'status' key to the response of getUri XML-RPC method. * Added changeUri XML-RPC method. This method removes/adds URIs dynamically. * Replaced null or control characters in file path with '_'. For MinGW32 build, additional characters which is not allowed in Windows kernel are also replaced. util::detectDirTraversal() now returns true if given string contains null or control characters. * Discard torrent file if path data in it contains directory traversal directives. Discard metalink:file element in Metalink3 format if its name attribute contains directory traversal directives. Ignore name attribute of metalink:signature element in Metalink3 format if it contains directory traversal directives. * Added Metalink4 support. Files with same metaurl are grouped and downloaded in one RequestGroup. * Added --bt-lpd-interface option to specify the interface to use for Local Peer Discovery. LpdMessageDispatcher object now has its own socket. LpdMessageReceiver's socket is binded to multicast address to only receive multicast packets. * Added Local Peer Discovery. It is disabled by default. Use --bt-enable-lpd to enable the function.
