Dear Gnutella fans, I have just released gtk-gnutella 1.1.2. Here is its ChangeLog entry:
# v 1.1.2 2015-03-21 [stable] This is mainly a bug-fixing release, addressing rare crashes that have been happening in production. It also contains several improvements. It fixes a user-reported bug whreby it was not possible to properly configure the download paths using the GUI -- that led to application crashes due to the incomplete support for discovered threads (which GTK is using underneath to manage the dialog box). Another bug was caused by the HTTP header parsing logic which did not allow "." in header names. That made it refuse to parse headers sent by some UPnP devices, such as "BOOTID.UPNP.ORG" or "CONFIGID.UPNP.ORG", prevening UPnP mappings from being installed. Hapening rarely but still annoying, there was a bug on the error handling path of write errors to the TX network stack, leading to assertion failures in the mq_tcp_putq() routine. That was because the qrt_compressed() routine was not handling task cancellation properly. The likelyhood of hitting that bug when running as a leaf node was very low. On the improvement side, the search list is now highlighting searches for which we have associated downloads by displaying the text in green. Further tweaks were made to our GTK2 code to make sure the changes are reported "real time" when the state changes, which was not always the case before (one needed to go over a search by explicitly clicking on it to update the display in the search list). The SHA1 computation code was also further optimized to be as fast as possible, reducing file hashing time by two! Since SHA1 hashing happens regularily in gtk-gnutella to collect entropy, optimizing the SHA1 computation affects more than just file verification. Improvements: - [GTK2] Added translation URL in the "About" GUI dialog. - [GTK2] Highlight searches with registered downloads by using green text. - [GTK2] Added tri-state column sorting to the "upload history" panel. - FAQ: added new entry explaining how to get the magnet of a shared file. - Map the "collection" G2 query tag to the Windows / Linux "archive" file set. - Map the "torrent" G2 query tag to the "torrent" file set. - Added support for "rom", "wordprocessing" and "subtitle" G2 query media types. - Further optimized SHA1 computation, now going about twice faster for files. Bug Fixes: - page_cache_insert_pages(): fixed incorrect write-lock upgrade logic. - pmap_insert_region(): must recompute insertion index if we extend the pmap! - tmalloc: fixed thread magazine accounting in the depots. - Did not commit back to database after updating the DHT key request count. - routing_chunk_move(): must check messages carefully when chunk was moved. - route_message(): beware of check_duplicate() which can remove the node. - thread_element_matches(): pay more attention to discovered threads. - thread_find_tid(): skip thread elements not marked as being valid! - node_shutdown_mode(): must correctly account for shutdowning G2 nodes! - bogons_changed(): forgot to close opened file descriptor - upload_stats_load_history(): added missing break in switch. - qrt_compressed(): was not handling QRP compression task cancellation properly. Under the Hood: - Added hostile ranges. - Updated GeoIP databases for IPv4 and IPv6. - Throttle the amount of PUSH messages we can send for a given remote server. - Legitimate Shareaza nodes cannot be flagging themselves as ultrapeers. - Windows: stack unwinding made safer with more memory checks to avoid faults. - UPNP: attempt rediscovery of port mapping devices every hour, if missing one. - UPNP: attempt rediscovery of port mapping devices every hour, if missing one. - Added new TSIG_OVFLOW signal sent when a thread overflows its stack. - Fixed race condition between concurrent waiter_refcnt_dec() calls. - Added logging of layer which reports a TX error in case of assert failure. - Track the last seen time (activity) of discovered threads other than main. - Prevent glade-2 from outputting support files now, since we patched them. - Added tracing of funny X-Falt lines we are seeing when demsh_debug is set. - Added tracing of funny X-Alt lines we are seeing when dmesh_debug is set. - Added tracing of funny X-Nalt lines we are seeing when dmesh_debug is set. - Added crash hook for the thread layer. - Added TX layer write-fault mechansim to help detect user error handling bugs. - Syntaxic adjustments to make the latest guile happy with definitions. - The GUI will now display current bandwidth by default, instead of the average. - mingw_exception(): write shorter messages in case of stack overflows. - thread_element_reset(): forgot to reset te->stack_base to NULL. - header_append(): allow "." in header names. - thread_join_internal(): no thread_cancel_test_element() on foreign thread! - thread_find_element(): avoid leaving routine without unlocking mutex! - cond_wait_until(): now correctly handle underlying cond variable mutation. - thread_block_timeout(): don't panic if main thread already unblocked. - dir_entry_filename(): made the Windows version thread-safe. - hfield_dump(): fixed formatting of continuation lines. - dmesh_collect_locations(): only parse the last timestamp when many given. - xmalloc_thread_free(): always handle blocks in the cross-thread free list. - Hide strtok_free(), forcing clients to use new strtok_free_null().
