    July 29, 2017

    Date: 07/29/2017

    Official BEPs:

    🔄 Changes/New Features:

    • ➕ Added ByteRange for working with binary ranges based on byte arrays and byte buffers
    • 👌 Support creating torrents from binary representation of info dictionary

    🐛 Bug Fixes/Improvements:

    • Introduced notion of torrent processing chain
    • 🛠 Fixed bug in extended protocol (invalid message type id mapping for peers) that sometimes prevented peers from receiving extended messages from Bt
    • ⬇️ Reduced dependency on the presence of a torrent; using torrent ID where possible
    • Perform peers lookup for active torrents only
    • 👌 Support HTTPS trackers
    • 🔧 Configurable list of bootstrap DHT nodes
    • 🔧 Configurable MSE private key size
    • 🏁 Headless mode in CLI client (Windows compatibility)
    • 🛠 Fix for occasional UI crashes in CLI client
    • 👍 Allow to specify the desired log level in CLI client (normal, verbose, trace)

  • v1.2 Changes

    May 24, 2017

    Date: 05/24/2017

    🔄 Changes/New Features:

    🐛 Bug Fixes/Improvements:

    • Last block in a chunk is incorrectly marked as complete even when partially written
    • 👍 Provide info on encryption support, local TCP port and version in extended handshake
    • ✅ Eliminate self-connections in tests
    • Don't specify the recipient of a PEX message in the list of added peers

  • v1.1 Changes

    Date: 04/10/2017

    🔄 Changes/New Features:

    • 👌 Support for auto-loading modules from the classpath
    • ✨ Enhanced API for building standalone and shared-runtime clients
    • Streaming (continuous) piece selectors
    • 👌 Improvements in piece selection and peer assignments algorithm
    • 👌 Support for multi-threaded hashing (verification) of torrent data on startup
    • 👍 Lifecycle binding API improvements; support for asynchronous bindings
    • ✅ Tools for creating custom protocol tests

    🐛 Bug Fixes/Improvements:

    • Torrent processing should not terminate when interaction with the tracker failed
    • Announce key can be missing in trackerless torrents
    • Failures on receiving unexpected blocks should be optional
    • Peer connection occasionally stopped receiving/sending data due to a buffer compaction bug
    • Verification tasks should be submitted only for complete pieces
    • Chunk descriptor overlapping two files contained no blocks when the latter file was smaller than the leftovers from the former file
    • Calculate total size for multi-file torrents
    • 👷 NPE on UDP message worker shutdown
    • 👻 Multi-tracker does not announce to next trackers in tier if an exception was thrown
    • Querying trackers and other peer sources should be async
    • Adaptive message processing interval in message dispatcher to reduce the CPU load
    • Speed-up the initial startup by skipping verification if a storage unit is empty and by feeding larger blocks to the digester
