rTorrent 0.9.2 released
2012-04-21
- This release fixes several issues with the refactored tracker code, making it more gentle on trackers. ~ Jari Sundell
- CHANGES:
- Only request from one tracker in a tier at one time.
- When in promiscious mode, only do one additional request from a tracker. This should handle the cases of connecting to a completely new torrent before any other peers and to ensure we get enough peers for normal trackers, while keeping loads low.
- Only do scrape for one tracker per tier.
- Allow tilde for 'log.open_file' path.
- Added logging of options for created torrents.
- Differentiate scrape and normal requests in the tracker list.
- When 'throttle.max_*.global.*.set' commands are called they will automatically update the libtorrent settings, so it is no longer needed to set the throttle to force this update.
- Added 't.is_usable', 't.is_busy', 't.is_extra_tracker', 't.can_scrape', 't.activity_time_next', 't.activity_time_last', 't.success_time_next' and 't.failed_time_next'.
- Return hex instead of binary for 'd.chunks_seen'.
rTorrent 0.9.1 released
2012-04-02
- Major highlights of this release are: hashing has been moved to a separate thread, filtering based on IP addresses, much improved logging, and lots of portability and bug issues fixed. ~ Jari Sundell
- CHANGES:
- Moved hash checking to a separate thread.
- Removed obsolete 'system.hash.read_ahead', 'system.hash.interval' and 'system.hash.max_tries'.
Filter out unwanted peers using the IPv4 filter list:
ipv4_filter.add_address = 1.0.0.0/2, unwanted ipv4_filter.load = ~/foo/rtorrent.ip.filter,unwanted print = "IPv4 filter list size data:",(to_kb,(ipv4_filter.size_data))," kb." xmlrpc localhost ipv4_filter.dump ""
- Improved logging of file and hashing events, specifically to improve user feedback when something goes wrong during hashing.
- Improved logging using the new logging facilities.
- Disown tracker requests when closing or deleting a torrent so that they complete.
- Added stricter checking of negative and '-0' integers for the non-stream-based parsers,.
- Added 'd.chunks_seen', which is limited to 'Download::peers_accounted()' number of peers for optimization reasons.
- Added 'system.api_version', which will be incremented every time the API changes. (sans brainfarts)
Use kqueue by default on mac os x since >10.5.5 fixed the bugs with stdin.
- Bumped default max file size to 128Gb.
- Fixed magnet links.
- Fixes for C++11 compatibility.

If you're not part of TrustedEditorGroup, you now need to answer a TextCha prompt for creating an account and saving pages. This hopefully solves the spammer problem once and for all.
Move to github

Quoting Jari...
Having seen the light, I've set up a libtorrent repository at github which will be used for further development. The subversion repository will track the git repository so it can continue to be used. Due to the amount of spam on the ticket tracker I might close it, not decided yet. https://github.com/rakshasa/libtorrent Jari Sundell
