Dear Gnutella fans,
Release 1.1.11 has just been pushed out to Sourceforge.
Here is the Changelog entry:
# v 1.1.11 2016-11-11 [stable]
This release fixes a portability issue on FreeBSD and introduces a main core
feature and minor new GUI features.
The main feature is the additiona of "equivalence classes" defining word
aliases, used when sharing files and querying for them.
Currently, the only supported equivalence class deals with naming of series.
Indeed, there are various conventions that can be used to represent these,
and it makes searching inefficient: either one will lookup for all the
possible variations, or one will miss some of the files.
For instance, episode #8 of an hypothetical season #4 can be represented by
any of these strings:
{ "s04e08", "4x08", "408", "04x08", "0408" }
Thanks to the equivalence class, a file bearing one of these strings can
be searched for (and located successfully) by using any of the other strings.
Of course, since this is a local processing, the more servents out there are
deployed with this aliasing support, the more efficient the feature becomes!
There are also new GUI features: the "Clear completed" button from the Download
pane is now doing someething useful, and the current page of different notebooks
is remembered across sessions. The only one which is not restored on normal
resuming is the main notebook tab. It will be restored if GTKG is restarted
after a crash, but otherwise the application will always start up within the
Network tab.
In the Uploads tab, upload requests coming from a G2 servent will not be
flagged with a "[G2]" tab right after the IP address. This helps seeing how
the Gnutella and G2 network unification is evolving.
New Features:
- Flag uploads coming from G2 servents with a "[G2]" tag after IP address.
- Added alias support in sharing/querying.
- Made the "Clear completed" button in Downloads/Tools do something useful.
- Moved "Clear completed" button to the bottom right of the download pane.
- Remember fileinfo notebook tab number across sessions.
- Remember main notebook tab number across sessions, only restored after crash.
- Remember Gnet stats notebook tab number across sessions.
- Remember download info / tools notebook tab number across sessions.
Improvements:
- Added --cleanup to explicitly request for final memory cleanup sequence.
- Updated Italian translation.
- Updated GeoIP databases.
Bug Fixes:
- Leaf nodes could end-up being connected to more ultrapeers than configured.
- Fixed monitoring of alien threads, important when GTK file selector is used.
Under the Hood:
- Debian compatibility level changed from 4 to 5.
- Make sure we can deal with older pkg-config, which needs leading arguments.
- Use "embedded" symbols for xmalloc(), xfree() and friends.
- Added "query_trace" property to trace all queries which were searched.
- Moved halloc-based string functions like h_strdup() to dedicated hstrfn.c.
- Expanded search mask to 64 bits to be able to hold all digits and letters.
- Count aliased queries and hits from aliases.
- Pre-compute shared file media type at record creation time.
- Pass query limits to st_search() to avoid needless pattern matching.
- Added h_strsplit() and h_strsplit_set().
- Added strvec_append_with() to expand vector by appending another vector.
- crash_assert_logv(): don't call crash_mode() if assert failure was recorded.
- entropy_clock_time(): mix the entropy nonce through hashing for more
diffusion.
- node_can_accept_connection(): only send headers back when handshaking.
- qrp_add_file(): optimized to avoid computing word length if not required.
- thread_stack_check_overflow(): ignore virtual addresses outside stack range.
- vmm_init_once(): ensure any shared library for stacktrace unwinding is loaded.
Enjoy!
