Dear Gnutella fans, A new major release has just been uploaded to sourceforge. You may also get it through Gnutella via:
magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:CND63VVQNVN6Y3FURHXHSXMRNZA2IDWF&dn=gtk-gnutella-0.98.tar.bz2 Here are the changes since 0.97.1, as listed in the ChangeLog file: # v 0.98 2011-12-11 [stable] This is a major release, adding "IPv6-Ready" features. It also fixes long-lasting bugs in various areas and contains some other low-level improvements. During the building of this release, Dennis MacAlistair Ritchie passed away. Gtk-gnutella would not exist in its current form without the earlier work of Dennis, the co-inventor of C. This release is dedicated to the memory of that great computer scientist. Farewell, Dennis! New Features: - Added "IPv6-Ready" support. - Enhanced the shell "memory" command to display various allocator stats. - Added the "pid" and "version" shell commands. - Added the "command" shell command to print the server's command line. - Added -r option to "shutdown" shell command to request a restart. - Added the --no-restart and --restart-on-crash gtk-gnutella options. - Added the shell "date" command displaying ISO time with ms accuracy. Improvements: - Ignore Bitzi ticket timeouts on missing entries for explicit user retries. - Added routing table statistics. - GUI: show file creation times for local searches in the info summary. - Optimized page cache coalescing by avoiding two successive binary lookups. - Added -f option to "shutdown" shell command to initiate a fast shutdown. - Allow "echo command | gtk-gnutella --shell" a chance to work on Windows. - Ban duplicate GUIDs to avoid them being the target of PUSH requests. - Updated French translation for 0.98. - Revisited TX stack flow-control logic when there is a compressing layer. - Don't send Hops-Flow messages to nodes not supporting it. - Use full compression for ultra <-> ultra connections. - Internationalization now works on Windows. Bug Fixes: - Fixed harmful cleanup of routing table when cycling over naturally. - Fixed bug in add_file() when adding multiple partial files to a query hit. - Fixed DHT lookup when path protection kicks in and clears the closest node. - Fixed handling of relative position lists, causing unfair PARQ scheduling. - Prevent preferences from being shown from tray icon when already shutdowning, fixing bug #3376952. - Hide tray icon at shutdown time. - Enabled loading of hostiles file on Windows. - Fixed crash on mis-parsed IPv6 address. - Make sure node is still connected before routing its queries. - Avoid crashes when asked to deflate 0 bytes. - Fixed dynamic querying to avoid duplicate messages to probed nodes. - GUESS must forget about query if the query key was not correct. - Do not send translated messages in node handshaking replies. - dualhash_insert_key(): fixed insertion to avoid possible assertion failures. - Avoid wrong "activity timeout" indications for ultra <-> ultra connections. - Make sure we do not include "non-shareable" files in query hits. - Fixed the "node add" and "node drop" shell commands. Under the Hood: - Fixed remote token validation for git versions. - Count and report in statistics the amount of cached GUESS 0.2 hosts. - Fixed improper message queue status computation (warn zone / delay). - XML parser was not handling illegal byte sequences in UTF-8 buffers. - Fixed creation time (GGEP "CT") to send actual filesystem creation time, not the filesystem last modification time. - Enforce configured IP protocols, preventing connection to other protocols. - Added malloc() replacement. - Clear "last dmesh sent" timestamp in uploads when client switches resources. - Construct build date from git's HEAD commit, if available. - Added options to the "shutdown" shell command to trigger the crash handler. - Propagate Windows exception information into the crash log. - On Windows, propagate the PC at which the exception occurs in the crash log. - Force "idle" tasks to be scheduled once in a while. - Increased frequency of the main callout queue heartbeats by 4. - Arrange for a crash log to be generated even when fork() fails. - Loudly warn when string formatting leads to truncation of the message. - Added regression tests for str_vncatf(). - Added floating point formatting routine from Robert G. Burger, allowing str_vncatf() to format floating point numbers natively. - Added Windows startup debugging support and fixed Cygwin startup. - Remap all g_xxx() logging routines to our own message logging layer. - Added "update-potfiles" target to refresh the POTFILES.in list. - Frozen PARQ upload queue slots don't count as "wanted" by the queue. - Added "qhit_bad_debug" property to control logging of bad query hits. - Stack unwinding routines now stop at the first non-text address they reach. - Added dynamic memory usage statistics collection. - Propagate self-assessed symbol quality into the crash log, if not good. - Make sure we open all files in binary mode on Windows. - Packaged regex 0.12 to supply POSIX regcomp() on systems lacking it. - Raise the default number of allowed fds to 2048 on OS X. - Added SDBM testing and benchmarking program. - Don't publish NOPE entries in the DHT for nodes with a bad GUID. - Added "tx_deflate_debug" and "tx_debug_addrs" properties. - TX deflating layer can postpone Nagle flushing up to 2 seconds. - Updated Geo IP database.
