Version 1.0b: |
| 23 |
|
|
- Removed spaces between -S[x] in man-pages, etc. They mess things up. |
| 24 |
|
|
- Fixed configure for OpenBSD. |
| 25 |
|
|
- Fixed configuration bug: s/alternate_interface/alternate_output/ in |
| 26 |
|
|
axelrc.example, thanks to CLOTILDE Guy Daniel for the bug report! |
| 27 |
|
|
- Fixed weird behaviour when downloading from an unsupported server. |
| 28 |

Version 1.0a: |
| 34 |
|
|
- gstrip on Solaris/SPARC breaks the binary, so stripping is made optional |
| 35 |
|
|
(but enabled by default!) and /usr/ccs/bin/strip is used instead of |
| 36 |
|
|
gstrip. |
| 37 |
|
|
- Fixed a small (not harmful) errorcode interpretation bug in the ftp_size |
| 38 |
|
|
code. |
| 39 |
|
|
- Downloading from unsupported sites works better now. |
| 40 |
|
|
- Added support for downloading using more than one local network interface. |
| 41 |
|
|
- Fixed a potential SIGSEGV bug. Would only happen with about more than 64 |
| 42 |
|
|
connections usually. Still strange things can happen with too many |
| 43 |
|
|
connections when using Linux.. |
| 44 |
|
|
- Hopefully fixed the problem with downloading from forwarding URL's. |
| 45 |
|
|
- HTTP %-escapes are handled now. |
| 46 |
|
|
- Alternate progress indicator with estimation of remaining download time |
| 47 |
|
|
- Changed the return-code a bit, see man-page for details. |

Version 1.0: |
| 53 |
|
|
- Fixed a reconnect problem: Check for stalled connections was skipped by |
| 54 |
|
|
previous versions if there is no active connection. |
| 55 |
|
|
- Solaris does not have www in /etc/services which confused Axel. Fixed. |
| 56 |
|
|
- Created a new build system. |
| 57 |
|
|
- install utility not used anymore: Solaris' install does weird things. |
| 58 |
|
|
- Added support for Cygwin and Solaris. |
| 59 |
|
|
- Corrected a little problem in de.po. |

Version 0.99b brings you: |

Version 0.99a brings you: |
| 73 |

|
- Small bugfix for dumb HTTP bug. |

|
|
Version 0.99 brings you: |
| 79 |
|
|
- Improved speed limiter. (For low speeds a smaller buffer works better, |
| 80 |
|
|
so the buffer is resized automatically for low speeds.) |
| 81 |
|
|
- Some FTP servers don't ask for a password which confused ftp.c. Fixed. |
| 82 |
|
|
- Some HTTP servers send chunked data when using HTTP/1.1. So I went back |
| 83 |
|
|
to HTTP/1.0.. (This also fixes the occasional filesearching.com problem) |
| 84 |
|
|
- Even more problems with FTP server reply codes, but they must be fixed |
| 85 |
|
|
now, Axel's RFC compliant. |
| 86 |
|
|
- For HTTP downloads a Range: header is not sent when downloading starting |
| 87 |
|
|
at byte 0. This is just a work-around for a problem with a weird webserver |
| 88 |
|
|
which sends corrupted data when a Range: header is sent. It's just a |
| 89 |
|
|
work-around for a rare problem, it does not really fix anything. |
| 90 |
|
|
- RPM package for axel-kapt added. |

Version 0.98 brings you: |
| 96 |
|
|
- Fixed the weird percentage indicator bug. (Was buggy for large files, |
| 97 |
|
|
did not affect the downloaded data.) |
| 98 |
|
|
- For single connection downloads from Apache: Apache returns a 200 result |
| 99 |
|
|
code when the specified file range is the complete file. Axel handles |
| 100 |
|
|
this correctly now. |
| 101 |
|
|
- Roxen FTP servers return the address and port number without brackets |
| 102 |
|
|
after a passive command. This is RFC-compliant but quite unique. But now |
| 103 |
|
|
handled correctly. |
| 104 |
|
|
- Fixed some things to make it work on Darwin again. |
| 105 |
|
|
- 'Upgraded' HTTP requests to HTTP/1.1. Tried this to fix a download |
| 106 |
|
|
corruption bug for downloads from archive.progeny.com, but it did not |
| 107 |
|
|
work. wget's resume has exactly the same problem. But using HTTP/1.1 is |
| 108 |
|
|
more compliant (because in fact HTTP/1.0 does not support Ranges) so I'll |
| 109 |
|
|
keep it this way.. |
| 110 |
|
|
- Previous version used to delete the statefile in some cases. Fixed. |

Version 0.97 (Bitcrusher) brings you: |
| 116 |
|
|
- Major redesign: Moved a lot of code from main() to separate functions, |
| 117 |
|
|
it should make it easier to create different interfaces for the program. |
| 118 |
|
|
- All those ifdefs were a mess, they don't exist anymore. Separate threads |
| 119 |
|
|
for setting up connections are used by default now. Version 0.96 will not |
| 120 |
|
|
disappear, by the way. |
| 121 |
|
|
- HTTP HEAD request not used anymore: Squid's headers are incorrect when |
| 122 |
|
|
using the HEAD request. |
| 123 |
|
|
- conn_disconnect did not work for FTP connections through HTTP proxies. |
| 124 |
|
|
- Documentation fix, sort of: The example configuration file still said |
| 125 |
|
|
proxies are unsupported. But they are supported for quite some time |
| 126 |
|
|
already. |
| 127 |
|
|
- Wrote a small (Small? Larger than any other doc.. :-) description of the |
| 128 |
|
|
Axel API. |
| 129 |
|
|
- Added finish_time code. (Credits to sjoerd@huiswerkservice.nl) |
| 130 |
|
|
- Calling conn_setup without calling conn_init first also works when using |
| 131 |
|
|
a proxy now. |
| 132 |
|
|
- A client for filesearching.com. You can use it to search for mirrors and |
| 133 |
|
|
download from more than mirror at once. |
| 134 |
|
|
- Fixed another segfault bug which did not show up on my own system... |
| 135 |
|
|
Also fixed by 0.96a. |
| 136 |
|
|
- Global error string is gone. Unusable in threaded programs. |
| 137 |
|
|
- The -V switch stopped working some time ago because I forgot to put it |
| 138 |
|
|
in the getopt string. Now it's back, alive and kickin'... |
| 139 |
|
|
- TYPE I should be done quite early. Some servers return weird file sizes |
| 140 |
|
|
when still in ASCII mode. |
| 141 |
|
|
- ftp.c (ftp_wait) sometimes resized conn->message to below MAX_STRING |
| 142 |
|
|
which is Not Good(tm). |
| 143 |
|
|
- I18N support is a bit broken at this time, it'll be fixed later. |
| 144 |
|
|
- Tidied up the man-page a bit. |
| 145 |
|
|
- Removed config.h file, -D flags used again. |
| 146 |
|
|
- Added axel-kapt interface. |
| 147 |
|
|
- Changed syntax: Local file must be specified using the -o option now. |
| 148 |
|
|
This allows the user to specify more than one URL and all of them will |
| 149 |
|
|
be used for the download. A local directory can be passed as well, the |
| 150 |
|
|
program will append the correct filename. |
| 151 |
|
|
- Fixed a bug which caused the program not to be able to download files |
| 152 |
|
|
for which only one byte has to be downloaded for one of the connections. |
| 153 |
|
|
- Why bitcrusher? Just because I liked to have a code name for this |
| 154 |
|
|
release... Bit crusher is a name of a musical group here in the |
| 155 |
|
|
Netherlands, and it's a nice name for a downloader as well, I hope... |

| 161 |
|
|
- Fixed a terrible bug which caused any FTP download to corrupt. I promise |
| 162 |
|
|
I will test the program before any next release. :-(( HTTP did work in |
| 163 |
|
|
0.95. |

|
|

|
|
Version 0.95 brings you: |
| 172 |
|
|
- An important bugfix: When bringing up the connection failed, the program |
| 173 |
|
|
used to be unable to reconnect. :( |
| 174 |
|
|
- Small changes to make the program compile on FreeBSD and Darwin. |
| 175 |
|
|
- Support check for FTP servers is done only once now. |
| 176 |
|
|
- SIZE command is really used now. |
| 177 |
|
|
- Fixed a SIGINT-does-not-abort problem. Btw: Ctrl-\ (SIGQUIT) always works! |
| 178 |
|
|
- Connection status messages are not displayed by default. You can enable |
| 179 |
|
|
them with the verbose-option. |

- 'make install' uses install instead of mkdir/cp now. |
| 186 |
|
|
- Added 'make uninstall' option. |
| 187 |
|
|
- Added more explanations to axelrc.example. |
| 188 |
|
|
- It uses the HTTP HEAD request now. Didn't know that one before. :) |
| 189 |
|
|
- Debian packaging stuff and RPM .spec file included by default. |
| 190 |
|
|
- select() problem now really understood... The real point was, that |
| 191 |
|
|
sometimes select() was called with an empty fd set. Now I solved the |
| 192 |
|
|
problem in a more 'useful' way. |

Version 0.93 brings you: |
| 198 |
|
|
- A compile-time option to remove all the multi-connection stuff. Program |
| 199 |
|
|
works without state files then, and it's a bit smaller, just in case you |
| 200 |
|
|
need a very small program and if you don't believe in acceleration. :) |
| 201 |
|
|
- The SIZE command is now used as long as the URL does not contain wildcards. |
| 202 |
|
|
Because FTP servers are just too different. :( |
| 203 |
|
|
- You can do FTP downloads through HTTP proxies now. |
| 204 |
|
|
- The weird initial 1-second delay which happened sometimes does not exist |
| 205 |
|
|
anymore: It was because of select(), which does not return immediately |
| 206 |
|
|
if there's data on a socket before the call starts. My first solution |
| 207 |
|
|
is using a lower timeout, I hope there's a better solution available... |
| 208 |
|
|
- Local file existence check. |

|
- A credits file!! ;) |
| 216 |
|
|
- A German translation. Herrman J. Beckers: Thanks a lot! |
| 217 |
|
|
- ftp.c should understand weird Macintosh FTP servers too, now. |
| 218 |
|
|
- Connections are initialized in a different thread because then the program |
| 219 |
|
|
can go on downloading data from other connections while setting up. Quick |
| 220 |
|
|
hack, but it works. |
| 221 |
|
|
- config.h contains the configuration definitions now. |
| 222 |
|
|
- A URL - can be specified. The program will read a URL from stdin. Might |
| 223 |
|
|
be useful if you don't want other people to see the URL in the 'ps aux' |
| 224 |

output. (Think about passwords in URLs...) |

- A Debian package. (0.9 .deb exists too, but that was after the 'official' |

| 234 |
|
|
- Made the sizes/times displayed after downloading more human-readable. |
| 235 |
|
|
- Corrected some stupid things in the nl.po file. |
| 236 |
|
|
- No bug in ftp_wait anymore, (or at least one bug less ;) the program was a |
| 237 |
|
|
bit too late with the realloc() sometimes. I just hate those multi-line |
| 238 |
|
|
replies.. :( |
| 239 |
|
|
- HTTP proxy support. no_proxy configuration flag also in use. |
| 240 |
|
|
- Support for empty configuration strings. |

- URL parser understands wrongly formatted URLs like slashdot.org. (instead |
