River stage zero No dependents

Changes for version 0.050 - 2009-02-13

  • API Changes/Compatibility Information:
    • N::B::Peer objects have their sockets closed and removed *before* calling any peer_disconnect callbacks.
    • Reasons handed to peer_disconnect callbacks are now language agnostic. Please see Notes section in Net::BitTorrent::Peer for more information.
  • Resolved Issues/Bug Fixes:
    • Fixed major bug related to outgoing HAVE packets.
  • Protocol/Behavioral Changes:
    • Message Stream Encryption (enabled by default) with plaintext fallback
    • Shorter waiting period before filling requests (15s -> 3s)
    • Default for number of allowed connections per host has changed (2 -> 1)
  • Documentation/Sample Code/Test Suite:
  • Genereal documentation cleanup
  • Fix t/[...]/Protocol.t failures due to the limits of 32-bit math
  • (Start of a) Rewrite of t/[...]Peer.t to be more complete and emulate real-world sessions.
  • New demonstration script: /tatoeba/005-console.pl
    • Formerly known as /scripts/bittorrent.pl
  • Notes:
    • With the addition of Protocol Encryption and the bugfix, I strongly suggest an upgrade for all users despite the API tweeks.
    • Meanwhile...
      • Development moved to github: http://github.com/sanko/net-bittorrent
