Dear Gnutella fans,
I have just released gtk-gnutella 1.1.4, with the following changes:
# v 1.1.4 2015-09-09 [stable]
This release is mostly a bug-fixing release.
One major bug (leading to crash) was found in the G2 frame parsing layer: a
carefully crafter G2 packet sent to GTKG could crash it, leading to a Denial
of Service. For that reason, an upgrade to 1.1.4 is strongly recommended.
The only major new feature is the added cleanups of the TTH cache and the
crash log directory to make sure we do not keep useless files on the disk
forever.
Because the Phex servent is no longer maintained, there is now a workaround
for that particular servent to ensure it can correctly download from GTKG.
Improvements:
- [GTK2] Added tri-state column sorting in "property editor" preference pane.
- [GTK2] Show icon + warning message when we have no TCP listening socket.
- Added an "install-strip" target to all Makefiles to install with stripping.
- Can no longer edit properties flagged as "internal" through shell or GUI.
- Added new "session_start_stamp" property to hold the true starting time.
- Added support for TTH cache cleanup.
- Added automatic cleanup of the crash log directory.
- New shell command "random stats" to display the statistics on random layer.
- Workaround for Phex: always send X-Gnutella-Content-URN in upload replies.
- Updated GeoIP database.
Bug Fixes:
- upnp_natpmp_discovered(): detect when UPnP layer was shutdown and abort.
- Fixed bad definition of XXTEA key, which led us to use only its first 4 bytes.
- node_g2_read(): need to only read 3 bytes usually to determine frame length.
- thread_sp(): tweaked to defeat gcc 5.x optimization leading to a NULL return.
- File moving: notify main thread as soon as file is completely copied.
- update_available_ranges(): lack of X-Available means file is full on server.
Under the Hood:
- Windows: added getppid() and statvfs() emulation, plus rmdir() support.
- Improved the unpredictability of our random numbers.
- Loudly warn if attempting a file-descriptor operation on a revoked descriptor.
- Added compat_sendfile() with fallback to emulated version when necessary.
- Added compat_statvfs() for portability and code simplification.
- File moving operations now use sendfile() if available.
- XFMT: made it loudly clear that comment nodes are ignored for now.
- VMM: when debugging, trace large allocation spots.
- VMM: raised maximum page cache lifetime from 3 to 15 minutes.
- page_cache_find_pages(): treat user memory as if under short-term strategy.
- filepath_basename(): optimize code when G_DIR_SEPARATOR is '/'.
- Optimized CMP() to avoid branching regardless of the arguments.
- Added ftw_foreach() to traverse a file system and process each entry.
- mingw_readdir(): do not change errno if it was left untouched by _wreaddir().
- Let mingw_{opendir,readdir,closedir} use normal types, not generic ones.
- mingw_stat(): added workaround for trailing "/" or "/." in paths.
- etree_traverse_internal(): minor optimization to avoid trailing +1 each time.
- Added etree_sort() and etree_sort_with_data() to sort children of all nodes.
- Changed signature of decoding base16 and base32 routines.
- Regenerated Configure to fix the fdopendir() compile test.
- Make sure pointer hashing distributes its trailing bits evenly.
- elist_merge_sort(): don't update tail, just do one single pass at the end.
- vmm_dump_pmap_log(): copy pmap data, then process dumping without locks.
Enjoy!
Raphael
