aria2 1.20.0

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

• src/WinConsoleFile.cc: fix colour

  Set default foreground/background colour correctly

  Patch from kwkam

• configure.ac: fix autoreconf error

  Use m4_ifdef so we do not have to install optional libraries

  Patch from kwkam

• Don't inherit file descriptor to child process

  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.

• Update Russian version documentation

  Patch from ITriskTI

• Add "seeder" key to tellStatus RPC response

• WinTLS: Fix hang because of buffered received data

  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.

• Add --max-mmap-limit option

  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.

• mingw: Use SetFileValidData to make --file-allocation=falloc work

• Retry with 504 status code

• Increase DHT transaction ID from 2 to 4 bytes to avoid conflict

• Update wslay

• Add --enable-werror option to configure to enable warning flags

• Don't modify user variables (e.g., CFLAGS, LIBS, etc)

• Improve error message when loading pkcs12 file failed

• Updated dependency and source url's

  The RaspberryPi Dockerfile had some out-of-date dependency packages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.

  Patch from c3mb0

• Reduce delay in tracker request

  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.

• Disable IPv6 on non-async NameResolver if configuration wants

• Fix mysterious 1 second delay with async DNS

• Fix bug that UDP port was incorrectly used in UDP tracker announce request

• Refactor HttpRequest

  This also makes comparison performed when replacing builtin header
  field with user-defined one case-insensitive.

• Send Want-Digest as per RFC 3230

• Try all found address set to bind sockets with --multiple-interface

  Fixes GH-523

• Replace sourceforge references with aria2.github.io

• Add system.listMethods RPC method

  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.

  See GH-437

• Support content-range from non-compliant server

  See GH-509

• Reduce UDP tracker request timeout

  See GH-507

• Apply --retry-wait when retrying after 404

  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.

  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.

aria2 1.19.3

Release Note

This release fixes lots of bugs. See the Changes section below.

Changes

• Fix bug that pause/unpause seeding torrent prevents new downloads
  from starting

  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.

  See GH-490

• Add --bt-enable-hook-after-hash-check option

  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.

• Add --socket-recv-buffer-size option

  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.

  See GH-487 about the usecase of this option

• Disable --deferred-input when --save-session is used together

  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

• base32: decode lowercased characters as well

  This fixes the bug that magnet URI with lowercased btih is treated
  as malformed.

• mingw: Use GetFileSize to get file size

  _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.

• Fix bug that file allocation=trunc does not work with Windows
  symlink

• Send the last error message as part of tellStatus RPC response

  Patch from Jarda Snajdr

• Don't enable mmap if file allocation is disabled

  Without file allocation, we cannot map file because file length
  could be zero.

  This could fix bug reported at GH-478

• Evict timed out pooled socket periodically

  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.

  See GH-477

• Don't write control file if content is not changed from previous one

  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.

  See GH-382

• Remove content-length and content-range if transfer-encoding is
  given

  See GH-473

• Retry after 404 status if --max-file-not-found > 0

aria2 1.19.1

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
