  GH-860

• Propagate disk full error on pre-allocation to last error code

  GH-856

Release Note

This release fixes assertion error in SimpleRandomizer::getRandomBytes. It adds new option content-disposition-default-utf8.

Changes

• Better error message when local file status cannot be retrieved

  GH-836

• Fix assertion failure in SimpleRandomizer::getRandomBytes

  errno might not be initialized to 0, and we may get both rv == -1 and errno != ENOSYS. This leads to assertion failure. Since getrandom_linux always returns -1 on failure, checking errno is useless in this function.

  GH-823

• Add option content-disposition-default-utf8

  Patch from JimmyZ

  GH-813

Release Note

This release fixes several bugs. See Changes below for detailed bug fixes. This release adds an ability to expand ${HOME} to user's home directory in several options. It would be useful when used in configuration file. -S option against torrent file now prints out DHT nodes.

Changes

• mingw: Use sqlite 3.15.2

• Fix bug that --disable-websocket causes build error

• Fix bug that lower bound of optimize-concurrent-downloads becomes 1

  GH-798

• Print DHT nodes with -S option

  GH-795

• Take into account address family when resolving DHT node address

  GH-794

• Allow block device file to -i option

  GH-785

• Expand ${HOME} to user's home directory in several options

  The following options implement this substitution:

  • --ca-certificate
  • --certificate
  • --dht-file-path
  • --dht-file-path6
  • --dir
  • --input-file
  • --load-cookies
  • --log
  • --metalink-file

  • --rpc-private-key
  • --save-cookies
  • --save-session
  • --server-stat-if
  • --server-stat-of
  • --torrent-file

  GH-780

• Document that libaria2 is not thread safe

  GH-775

• configure: Use pkg-config to find libs whenever possible

  Use pkg-config to find cppunit, libxml2 and expat. All those libraries provide pkg-config files, and in all of those cases the pkg-config macro is superior to the custom macros used currently.

  The advantages of pkg-config files include:

  • Explicit static linking support via --static. Currently, e.g. 'xml2-config --libs' prints all libraries needed for static linking when doing dynamic linking unnecessary, resulting in unnecessary direct deps.
  • Better cross-build support. You don't have to build the additional *-config tools for target.
  • Better multilib support. Per-ABI pkgconfig directories are commonly supported while packages usually fail to look for per-CHOST *-config variants.
  • Better override support. The current macros allow little to no result overrides, the pkg-config macros let you pass FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS manually.
  • Cleaner version checks. The code used in libxml.m4 is really creepy.

  Patch from Michał Górny

  GH-773

• WinTLS: Rewrite writeData

  We re-wrote WinTLSSession::writeData. The major points are:

  • Buffer is now preallocated once handshake is finished. Previously, they are allocated each time when we send one TLS record.
  • Schannel uses header, body and trailer for each secBuffer. Now we send them off at once using WSASend which is windows counterpart of sendv. Previously, we do memmove if some of them are truncated.
  • We don't try to send application data in WinTLSSession::closeConnection, since semantically we need same application data used to create TLS record before. Using 0 length data to finish sending buffered data looks like a hack.

  GH-772

Release Note

This release fixes several bugs. See Changes below for detailed bug fixes. This release adds 1xx non-final response support. Wslay library is updated to the latest revision.

Changes

• WinTLS: Fix busy loop on write error

  GH-767

• Support 1xx non-final response

  GH-763

• Update wslay

  GH-764

• Don't download piece which is filtered out (e.g., --select-file)

  This commit fixes the bug that piece which is not requested by --select-file is downloaded in multi-file Web-Seeding.

  GH-769

Release Note

This release fixes the bug that file name is not logged with --conditional-get option is used. The new option --keep-unfinished-download-result was added to keep incomplete downloads in memory regardless of --max-download-result so that we can save those downloads with --save-session option. This option is enabled by default.

This release

Changes

• Restore LTLIBINTL in src/Makefile.am

  Patch from Juan Francisco Cantero Hurtado

• Add --keep-unfinished-download-result option

  This option keeps unfinished download results even if doing so exceeds --max-download-result. This is useful if all unfinished downloads must be saved in session file (see --save-session option). Please keep in mind that there is no upper bound to the number of unfinished download result to keep. This option is enabled by default.

• Fix -Wexpansion-to-defined warning with clang-3.9

  The error message was:

  warning: macro expansion producing 'defined' has undefined behavior [-Wexpansion-to-defined]

  http://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20160118/147239.html

• Fix bug that file name is not logged with --conditional-get

  GH-742

Release Note

This release fixes the packaging bug that libssl_compat.h is missing in the tar balls.

Changes

• Add missing libssl_compat.h to SRCS

  GH-744

Release Note

This release fixes bug which may cause crash if UDP tracker is used. It adds new option --save-not-found which prevents downloads failed by "not found" error from being saved in session file.

Changes

• Hard-disable openssl in osx build

  Closes #739

• Fix possible cause of crash if UDP tracker is used

• Remove custom ftruncate64 for Android

  The latest NDK versions support ftruncate64, so building a local copy of ftruncate64 is no longer needed.

  Also, the arm and x86 builds of ftruncate64 failed when targeting API level 21 or higher, as they include <linux/err.h> which are not present starting from API level 21.

  Patch from Fredrik Fornwall

• Fix typo found by Debian's Lintian

• Add --save-not-found option

• Update comment to match code

  Patch from Torbjörn Lönnemark

• WinTLS: Better errors (from WSA)

• Compile with openssl 1.1.0

Release Note

This release fixes the bug that causes assertion failure during BitTorrent downloads.

Changes

• Make assertion hold

  If we have peer which is already used, make addAndCheckoutPeer() fail. If peer is in unused list, first remove the old entry, and then add new one. This would make assertion in ~DefaultPeerStorage hold.

Release Note

This release fixes linking bug with libaria2 enabled. It also changes how aria2 renames the download file name when the same name already exists in file system. In summary, we use numbers before extension (e.g., foo.1.txt), rather than after extension (e.g., foo.txt.1). Now --seed-time option can take floating point number to specify fractional minutes.

Changes

• aria2mon: Replace client.call with local method

  Patch from Florian Gamböck

• Reorder a note section in aria2c.rst

  Patch from Artur Petrov

  Closes GH-722

• bash_completion: Add missing options which takes one of pre-defined values

• Replace "/" with "-" in magnet dn name when used as in-memory download name

• Fix Dockerfile.raspberrypi to correctly decompress expat archive

  Patch from Char

• Enable ccache in travis-ci

  Speeds up the build most of the time.

  Closes GH-710

• Enable OSX/macOS build for travis

  Closes GH-711 Closes GH-666

• Better auto-renaming

  Up until now aria2 file auto renaming worked by just appending a new unique number to the file path, behind the file name extension, if any, changing what most other programs consider the file extension in the process. Now, aria2 will attempt to insert the number before the file extension, leaving the extension intact, so that e.g. a ".jpg" still is a ".jpg" file and opens in your configured image viewer when clicking it. If a file has no extension (incl. so called "dot files"), the number will be appended to the file name as usual.

  Note: This is a potentially breaking change that might break third party scripts that rely on aria2 auto file renaming producing a certain format for renamed files. Please fix your scripts accordingly.

  Closes GH-709

• Log number of items loaded from input file

• Link external libraries to libaria2 with --enable-libaria2

  Fixes GH-707

• Allow seconds for seed-time (fractional minutes)

  Patch from Sébastien Cabaniols

  Closes GH-704

Release Note

This release fixes many bugs reported so far. There is no new functionality in this release. We have fixed many performance issues in BitTorrent downloads.

Changes

• Update third-party libraries for binary releases

• Send have message without too much delay

  Also send bitfield rather than have messages if bitfield message is equal to or less than the sum of have messages which otherwise would be sent.

• Fix bug that causes bogus EOF connection failure in BitTorrent downloads

• Fix frequent interested/not interested message transmission

• Fix frequent choke/unchoke message transmission

• Try to use available URI if all pooled requests are sleeping

• Update expat in OSX build

  Closes GH-694

• aria2mon: Add --secret option

  Fixes GH-700

• Set server status error on network failure in server performance profile

• Disable AI_ADDRCONFIG if no IPv4/IPv6 address is configured for any interface

  Fixes GH-698

• Russian manual: Update aria2c.rst

  Patch from ITriskTI

• Apply --retry-wait on 503 only

• Ensure that lowest speed check is done even when download speed is 0

  Fixes GH-686

• Document that -o is always relative to -d option

  Fixes GH-684

• Allow larger ut_metadata size

  Fixes GH-681

• mingw: Change FD_SETSIZE to 32768

  Fixes GH-678

• Fix compile error on OS X

  Fixes GH-683

Release Note

This release fixes several bugs. The new functionality is that when options which is only applicable in waiting state are submitted to an active download via RPC, the download is now automatically restarted to reflect the changes. Previously, those options were just ignored.

Changes

• BitTorrent: Allow 32KiB request

  It looks like the 32KiB is the default request size of python bittorrent client. Previously, aria2 only allowed maximum 16KiB request.

• Don't unchoke peer which is not interested in us

• Fix bug that evaluation of Peer::amChoking is negated

• Faster seed/download on fast connection

• Increase DHT task concurrency to 15

  Fix GH-653

• Fixed mmap failure check with MAP_FAILED flag

  Fix GH-662

  Patch from suzker

• Added file size overflow check for mmap on 32bit os

  Fix GH-662

  Patch from suzker

• Use standard percent-encode for tracker request query

  Fix GH-659

• mingw32: Gain privilege before opening files

  Fix GH-657

• Restart active download to apply previously not applicable options

  Previously, we categorized options that can be used in aria2.changeOption RPC method into 2 categories. The options in one category can be applied on the fly, meaning that download continues to be active while applying options. Another category includes options which are only applicable when downloads are waiting or paused.

  In this change, when active download is ordered to change options which only applicable in waiting or paused state, it is now paused, and then automatically restarted. Although we have limited number of download concurrency, the pause and restart is done atomically, and the download is inserted at the front of the queue, it is picked up immediately if the concurrency regulation allows.

  Fix GH-640 and GH-644

aria2 1.23.0

Release Note

This release fixes several bugs reported by users, and adds several new features. Read the following section for details.

Changes

• Simplify cache write

  The previous cache write routine was too complex. I'm sure I can rewrite it to more elegantly. But the primary motivation of this complex logic is for disk activity reduction on Windows 7, and I observed it on my old IDE disk. I checked it again recently, and there is no difference between with and without this complex logic. For this reason, it was removed. Will revert this change if many of users are not happy with this.

• Allow subsecond value in ns cookie.txt file's expiry time field

  Fixes GH-655

• Adjust chromium cookie time

• import-po: iterate on glob, not ls output

  Patch from Mingye Wang

• Add --stderr option to redirect all stdout log output to stderr

  Fixes GH-638

• Add "hide" to --download-result option

  Fixes GH-639

  Patch from ReadmeCritic

• Relocate from github.com/tatsuhiro-t/aria2 to github.com/aria2/aria2

  Fixes GH-602

• mingw: Defer the falloc warning until falloc is specified by option

  Fixes GH-594

• Add bittorrent key to aria2.tellStopped status

  Fixes GH-612

• Addsystem.listNotifications RPC method

  Merges GH-620

  Patch from Sonny Piers

• Report CheckIntegrity info in tellStatus

  • Adds verifiedLength to tellStatus. Reports the length of data that has been verified of the current RequestGroup being verified.
  • Adds verifyPending to tellStatus. Reports if the RequestGroup has a verification of integrity pending.

  Closes GH-561

  Patch from Kurt Kartaltepe

Release Note

This release adds new feature that manages the number of concurrent downloads dynamically. --stream-piece-selector option gets new value "random" which randomizes the piece selection for HTTP/FTP downloads. This effectively randomizes the order of files on multi-file Web Seeding. Now all contributor's names are in AUTHORS file. Previously, aria2 shows error when it sees floating point number in a torrent file because torrent file specification does not allow floating point number. In this release, they are just ignored, and aria2 continues to parse the rest of the torrent file as if there is nothing wrong.

Changes

• Add description about possible fragmentation with --file-allocation=trunc

• Make single-entry metalink download with multi-file torrent work

• Add all contributor's names in AUTHORS

• Ignore floating number in torrent file

• Added support for a dynamic management of the number of concurrent downloads as a function of the overall bandwidth observed

  This change adds --optimize-concurrent-downloads option.

  Patch from oliviercommelarbre

• Add --stream-piece-selector=random

Release Note

This release fixes several bugs, see the Changes for details. We added "following" key to the response of aria2.tellStatus RPC method as reverse link for followedBy.

Changes

• SessionSerializer: Fix bug that pause=true is added to wrong item

  This change also defers writing metadata download to the location where first its follower download is written.

• Add "following" to aria2.tellStatus response key as reverse link for followedBy

• mingw: Add warning for falloc

• Update ciphers in AppleTLS

  Also enable fast start while at it

• OSX: Enable libssh2 and sftp

  Closes GH-468

• Update OSX dependencies

  Closes GH-466

• Fix compile error without TLS support

• Add support for using gnutls system wide crypto policy

  Patch from Athmane Madjoudj

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.

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 1.19.2

Release Note

This release fixes the bug that progress summary is not shown timely.

Changes

• Fix bug that progress summary is not shown timely

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.
