============
Release Note
------------
This release fixes lots of bugs. See the Changes section below.
+There are new features in this release. We added "seeder" key in
+aria2.tellStatus RPC response. We added system.listMethods RPC method
+to return all RPC method supported. We added --max-mmap-limit option
+to avoid mmap if total file size is greater than given size.
Changes
-------
-* Fix bug that pause/unpause seeding torrent prevents new downloads
- from starting
+* src/WinConsoleFile.cc: fix colour
- Previously, with --bt-detach-seed-only, when user issued pause and
- unpause command to seeding torrent, and it was started again, and it
- immediately got seeding status, but aria2 did not start new download
- waiting in the queue. This commit fixes this bug.
+ Set default foreground/background colour correctly
- See GH-490
+ Patch from kwkam
-* Add --bt-enable-hook-after-hash-check option
+* configure.ac: fix autoreconf error
- This option sets flag which allows hook command invocation after
- hash check (see -V option) in BitTorrent download. By default, when
- hash check succeeds, the command given by --on-bt-download-complete
- is executed. To disable this action, give false to this option.
+ Use m4_ifdef so we do not have to install optional libraries
-* Add --socket-recv-buffer-size option
+ Patch from kwkam
- Set the maximum socket receive buffer in bytes. Specifing 0 will
- disable this option. This value will be set to socket file
- descriptor using SO_RCVBUF socket option with setsockopt() call.
+* Don't inherit file descriptor to child process
- See GH-487 about the usecase of this option
+ For non-Mingw32 build, set FD_CLOEXEC to file descriptors which live
+ beyond function scope. For Mingw32 build, just pass false to
+ bInheritHandles parameter of CreateProcessW.
-* Disable --deferred-input when --save-session is used together
+* Update Russian version documentation
- With --deferred-input=true, aria2 only reads input file to fill
- active download slots, while keeping input file open. Meanwhile,
- --save-session saves all download info inside memory, but this does
- not take into account of unread item in input file. This will lead
- to lose input data in saved session file. Also current BufferedFile
- implementation used to read/write input/output file take a lock on
- Windows. This effectively prevents session serializer from writing
- session data to the same file which is still kept open because of
- --deferred-input. See GH-493
+ Patch from ITriskTI
-* base32: decode lowercased characters as well
+* Add "seeder" key to tellStatus RPC response
- This fixes the bug that magnet URI with lowercased btih is treated
- as malformed.
+* WinTLS: Fix hang because of buffered received data
-* mingw: Use GetFileSize to get file size
+ WinTLSSession buffers received decrypted data into its own buffer.
+ If read is requested, it copies the data from its buffer. But if
+ requested buffer size is less than decrypted buffer, some of the
+ data is left in the buffer. Previously, we had no facility to check
+ the existence of this pending data. If this data is the last
+ requested data from remote server, we may end up waiting for read
+ event even if we have already data in our buffer, which may cause
+ hang. This commit fixes this issue by introducing function to
+ return the buffered length in TLSSession. SocketCore also provides
+ the same function, which delegates to TLSSession object.
- _wstat family does not work with symbolic links. They always
- returns size 0. To workaround this, we now use GetFileSize to get
- file size. To do that, we need to first obtain file HANDLE, which
- is a bit tedious because of the messy interface of CreateFileW, but
- we have no way to get around it.
+* Add --max-mmap-limit option
-* Fix bug that file allocation=trunc does not work with Windows
- symlink
+ Set the maximum file size to enable mmap (see --enable-mmap
+ option). The file size is determined by the sum of all files
+ contained in one download. For example, if a download contains 5
+ files, then file size is the total size of those files. If file size
+ is strictly greater than the size specified in this option, mmap
+ will be disabled.
-* Send the last error message as part of tellStatus RPC response
+* mingw: Use SetFileValidData to make --file-allocation=falloc work
- Patch from Jarda Snajdr
+* Retry with 504 status code
-* Don't enable mmap if file allocation is disabled
+* Increase DHT transaction ID from 2 to 4 bytes to avoid conflict
- Without file allocation, we cannot map file because file length
- could be zero.
+* Update wslay
- This could fix bug reported at GH-478
+* Add --enable-werror option to configure to enable warning flags
-* Evict timed out pooled socket periodically
+* Don't modify user variables (e.g., CFLAGS, LIBS, etc)
- Previously we only scanned pool socket to check they are timed out
- when we pooled another socket. This means that pooled socket is not
- closed long time (stays in CLOSE-WAIT state) if we don't pool any
- more socket. In this commit, we now check pooled socket
- periodically (30 seconds) to avoid the sockets hanging in CLOSE-WAIT
- state long time.
+* Improve error message when loading pkcs12 file failed
- See GH-477
+* Updated dependency and source url's
-* Don't write control file if content is not changed from previous one
+ The RaspberryPi Dockerfile had some out-of-date dependency packages
+ and was downloading an outdated aria2 source from Sourceforge, which
+ resulted in a build for version 1.19.0. The new
+ fetch-latest-release-from-GitHub script I've cooked up should always
+ work as long as GitHub doesn't change their API and aria2's platform
+ agnostic releases follow the "{version number}.tar.bz2" naming
+ format.
- This is desirable so that we don't have to wake up disk if control
- file is not changed, and it is not have to be written again. We use
- the same method (SHA1 hash) to check the content is the same. The
- limitation is the hash is stored in memory, so we have to write the
- first time in each session.
+ Patch from c3mb0
- See GH-382
+* Reduce delay in tracker request
-* Remove content-length and content-range if transfer-encoding is
- given
+ We eliminated 1 second delay between completion of name resolution
+ for tracker request and time when it is actually issued. We also
+ elimited 1 second delay after last torrent download exists and it is
+ told to DHTInteractionCommand.
- See GH-473
+* Disable IPv6 on non-async NameResolver if configuration wants
-* Retry after 404 status if --max-file-not-found > 0
+* Fix mysterious 1 second delay with async DNS
-
+* Fix bug that UDP port was incorrectly used in UDP tracker announce request

-aria2 1.19.1
-============
-
-Release Note
-------------
-
-This release fixes TLS handshake error with servers which only support
-RSA-SHA1 signature algorithm. We removed RSA-SHA1 for enchanced
-security, but many users reported there were servers which could not
-talk aria2 1.19.0, so added it again for compatibility reasons. For
-Windows build, we fixed potential infinite loop bug when TLS is used.
-
-We changed the location where dht.dat and aria2.conf are looked up.
-The aria2 manual page described details. Basically we now follow XDG
-specification (http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/).
-For dht.dat, the default location is $XDG_CACHE_HOME/aria2/ directory.
-For aria2.conf, the default location is $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/aria2/
-directory. To keep the current user configuration working, if aria2
-detects dht.dat under $HOME/.aria2/ directory, it is used instead.
-Similarly, if aria2.conf exists under $HOME/.aria2/ directory, it is
-used instead.
-
-Previously, we return 500 HTTP status if RPC method execution
-encountered error. Now it returns with 400 HTTP status with error
-code. This is more natural because server processed request and found
-an error, and returned error reply correctly. This is not something
-server crashed or something. Also, there is RPC libraries which
-throws exception if it sees 5XX status code, where 400 is better
-because we can examine the error.
-
-Changes
--------
-
-* Update README.android
-
- Providing some workarounds about CA certificates and standard output
-
- Patch from amtlib-dot-dll
-
-* Return 400 HTTP status code if exception was caught while executing
- RPC method
-
- Previously, we returned 500 HTTP status code. I think the found in
- RPC level, not in HTTP protocol, so 500 is not appropriate.
-
-* WinTLS: Fix potential infinite loop
-
-* Fix on-download-error is executed even if download succeeded
-
-* Update Dockerfile.mingw
-
- Patch from Adam Baxter
-
-* Increase --select-file upper bound to 1m for torrent containing lots
- of files
-
-* Fix busy loop with --dry-run and 4xx response for URI listed in
- metalink
-
- See GH-430
-
-* Update sqlite in OSX build to 3.8.10.2
-
-* Make LibuvEventPoll compatible with the latest libuv again
-
-* gnutls: Allow SIGN-RSA-SHA1 for compatibility reason
-
-* Make script compatible with both Python 2 and 3
-
- Patch from Vasilij Schneidermann
-
-* Make config and cache files conform to XDG
-
- See http://standards.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/latest/ for
- further details. This implementation decides the default based on
- whether a file exists at the legacy location, if it doesn't, it
- picks the XDG-conforming location instead.
-
- Patch from Vasilij Schneidermann
-
-* ftp, sftp: Fix heap-after-free bug on exception
-
-* ftp: Fix timeout when reusing FTP connection
-
-* Various MinGW-w64 build improvements
-
- - Fix detection of localtime_r and asctime_r on MinGW-w64
- - Fix linking with libintl on MinGW-w64
-
- Patch from David Macek

-aria2 1.19.0
-============
-
-Release Note
-------------
-
-This releases adds SFTP support, and fixes several bugs. SFTP support
-has been implemented using libssh2. We added several new options.
---multiple-interface option is like --interface option, but can take
-several interfaces. They are used in round-robin manner, and it works
-like link aggregation. Previously, .netrc search path is fixed under
-$HOME directory, and cannot be changed. In this release, --netrc-path
-option has been added to override the search path. The runtime bug
-concerning getrandom has been fixed in this release. Previously if
-download failed because checksum error, aria2 exited with error code 1
-(unknown error). Now it exits with dedicated error code 32. We fixed
-long outstanding bug that aria2 crashes when downloading multi-file
-torrent.
-
-Changes
--------
-
-* android: Build and link with zlib
-
- Previously, we linked with zlib shipped with NDK, but it seems this
- is not part of NDK API, and thus could break our app.
-
-* Allow netrc-path to be specified in the config file
-
- Adds --netrc-path to override default .netrc search path. Patch
- from Ryan Steinmetz
-
-* Exit with 32 status code if checksum verification failed
-
-* Add SFTP support using libssh2
-
- aria2 can now download files via sftp protocol: aria2c sftp://....
- --ssh-host-key-md option is added to specify expected server's
- fingerprint.
-
-* Added Dockerfile to cross complile aria2 for RaspberryPI (armhf)
-
- Patch from Igor Khomyakov
+* Refactor HttpRequest
-* multiple interface support for link aggregation
+ This also makes comparison performed when replacing builtin header
+ field with user-defined one case-insensitive.
- Adds --multiple-interface option. Patch from Sarim Khan
+* Send Want-Digest as per RFC 3230
-* Run on-bt-download-complete command when -V reports download finished
+* Try all found address set to bind sockets with --multiple-interface
- Fixes GH-355
+ Fixes GH-523
-* Use dedicated DiskWriter in MultiDiskFileAllocationIterator
+* Replace sourceforge references with aria2.github.io
- We have to use dedicated DiskWriter instead of
- (*entryItr_)->getDiskWriter(). This is because
- SingleFileAllocationIterator cannot reopen file if file is closed by
- OpenedFileCounter. Fixes GH-350
+* Add system.listMethods RPC method
-* Fix getrandom for system with libc not including errno or systems
+ system.listMethods just returns the available RPC method names. It
+ can be executed without secret token, because it just returns the
+ method names, and does not alter anything.
- not supporting ENOSYS in the first place. Fixes GH-347
+ See GH-437
-* Don't send back rpc-secret option value in aria2.getGlobalOption RPC
- method
+* Support content-range from non-compliant server
-* Make libuv default off
+ See GH-509
- See GH-241 for discussion
+* Reduce UDP tracker request timeout
-* Fixed slow RPC response
+ See GH-507
- Fxies GH-345
+* Apply --retry-wait when retrying after 404
-* Fix getrandom interface detection
+ Previously, --retry-wait was not used when retrying after 404
+ (--max-file-not-found). The retry was done without delay. Also the
+ maximum retry count (--max-retries) was ignored when retrying with
+ 404.
- Fixes GH-346
+ This commit makes --retry-wait apply for retrying with 404 as well.
+ It also combines --max-retries and --max-file-not-found. When
+ retrying with 404, it is counted toward retry count.
