[Mldonkey-users] MLDonkey 2.6.1 & 2.6.2 released

[spiralvoice]

Hi,

as usual: grab the code from

http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/mldonkey/mldonkey-2.6.2.tar.bz2

and compile yourself.

A selection of pre-compiled binaries and links to contributed cores can 
be found in the forum (http://mldonkey.berlios.de) or on my page:

The following text is copied from the forum post

This new release fixes again some bugs and introduces new features.

Most important new features are:
* direct support for IP block list in bz2/gz/zip format, just fill 
web_infos or ip_blocking option with the filename/URL
* do not connect IP blocked EDK servers
* C code for accessing HDD usage data (free/used/max_filename_length) 
on all supported platforms - in one of the next releases MLDonkey will 
work with this data (stop downloading if disk is full, truncate 
filenames to fit max_filename_length on filesystem, etc.)
Please use debugging command "disk" and report mismatches/errors here, 
along with system info and correct data (like reports from df command)
* Per client statistics for Bittorrent
* Some improvements for Fasttrack, all finished files are committed 
now, this is a hotfix, files hashes are not verified yet, also 
bootstrapping Fasttrack nodes should be more reliable
* New structure of ./configure options for building GUI, default is 
disabled
* MLDonkey create its data in $HOME/.mldonkey for new users, see usage 
notes in Changelog!

Take a look at the changelog below, important stuff is marked.
Numbers correspond to patches on Savannah:

2005/08/11: spiralvoice (version 2.6.2 = tag release-2-6-2)

4296: BT: Fix options parsing

2005/08/09: spiralvoice (version 2.6.1 = tag release-2-6-1)

4291: EDK: Better logging for unknown compatibleclient values
4290: BT: Some small fixes for messages interested and cancel
by beedauchon
4289: LOG: Improve verbosity "hid"
4287: Better clear Fifo buffers, by bogeyman
4268: Web/Gui: free core's buffer allocated by vd # and gui
by bogeyman
4285: IPBlock: Server support
* display in vm/vma if a server has a blocked IP
* prevent connections to a IP blocked server,
in EDK case this resulted in a LowID connection
4284: Remove whitespaces / Some logging changes

4281: Remove white spaces / Some logging stuff
4251: HTML: few fixes / new option html_frame_border true|false

4272: HTML: Cursor focus in input field
4271: GTK2: Fix compile bug in src/gtk2/chat/chat_art.ml

4155: Let MLDonkey create its data in $HOME/.mldonkey
Usage instructions:
* if the core is started in a directory where downloads.ini exists
this directory will be used, this is the same behaviour as before
* on Windows the current directory will always be used,
this is consistent with eMule
* on other systems $HOME/.mldonkey will be created and used,
this is consistent with eDonkey, aMule and Unix standards
* if variable MLDONKEY_DIR is used that directory has priority,
to simulate the behaviour without this patch use:
export MLDONKEY_DIR="." && ./mlnet

4270: Overnet: Convert local IPs sent by OV clients to real IPs
4269: IPBlock: Several fixes, better zip file support
4264: Fasttrack: Force commit of all complete files

4258: BT: Statistics, recognize more clients, min_interval, 
torrents/old and more...
This patch was done by Beedauchon, it incorporates weeks of work from 
him.
* move .torrent to torrents/old if the file is not shared anymore
* new command rm_old_torrents: delete all files in torrents/old
* eDonkey like statistics for BT clients (csbt command)
* compute_torrent and make_torrent can put a comment into the .torrent 
file
* MLdonkey computes a BT-compatible client_uid starting with "-ML"
* parse more fields from .torrent files and display them in HTML 
interface
* Tracker: replace "/tracker" by "/announce"
* Tracker: add "/scrape"
* Multitracker support for downloading

4263: Fasttrack: Force bootstrapping nodes

4204: Improve logging with timestamps (incomplete)
4195: GUI: Change configure options
Now "./configure" compiles no GUI, "--disable-gui" is default.
To use a GUI use "--enable-gui", this enables GTK2 GUI.
Other options are:
--enable-gui=newgui2 (use GTK2 GUI)
--enable-gui=newgui1 (use GTK1 newgui)
--enable-gui=oldgui (use GTK1 oldgui)
Options like "--disable-newgui" or "--enable-gtk2" were removed.
