Changes for version 0.024 - 2008-07-01

  • API changes:
    • Entire API has changed. See the Compatibility Information below.
    • New DHT-related callback: peer_outgoing_port
  • Internal changes:
    • DHT is included with this release. It's really raw code so don't expect too much.
  • Compatibility Information:
    • I've changed the API to pretty much everything in the distribution with a depreciation cycle. Bold, yes? So, with so much having changed, putting a full list of what's changed will be a horrific waste of space. These are the highlights: Old Mutator/Accessor New Getter New Setter
      • N::B maximum_buffer_size get_max_buffer_per_conn set_max_buffer_per_conn kbps_down get_max_dl_rate set_max_dl_rate kbps_up get_max_ul_rate set_max_ul_rate maximum_peers_per_client get_conns_per_client set_conns_per_client maximum_peers_per_session get_conns_per_session set_conns_per_session maximum_peers_half_open get_max_halfopen set_max_halfopen debug_level get_debug_level set_debug_level maximum_requests_per_peer get_ul_slots_per_session set_ul_slots_per_session maximum_requests_size get_ul_slot_size get_ul_slot_size peer_id get_peer_id --NA-- sockport get_sockport --NA-- sockaddr get_sockaddr --NA-- sessions get_sessions --NA-- N::B::S::Piece check get_cached_integrity verify get_verified_integrity
    • The arguments Net::BitTorrent's constructor expects have been changed to stay in step with the new get/set methods: Old New
      • maximum_peers_per_client conns_per_client maximum_peers_per_session conns_per_session kbps_down max_dl_rate kbps_up max_ul_rate maximum_peers_half_open max_halfopen maximum_buffer_size max_buffer_per_conn maximum_requests_size ul_slot_size maximum_requests_per_peer ul_slots_per_session
    • Removed accessors:
      • N::B->timeout( [NEWVAL] ) This was the select timeout used in N::B::do_one_loop(). It has been removed completely in favor of a new optional parameter passed to N::B::do_one_loop( [TIMEOUT] ) itself.
  • Notes:
    • I'm sure I'm forgetting something... several somethings, in fact...
    • This is an UNSTABLE stable release. There may be calls to old methods hiding out in a dark corner... data on the extended test suite, the rewritten API, and the alpha DHT code. DO NOT INSTALL! Stick with the 0.022 release! As soon as I have a few reports, I will mark this distribution for deletion from PAUSE.
