libtorrent 0.15.5 released

I just uploaded 0.15.5 to google code at:

   http://code.google.com/p/libtorrent/downloads/detail?name=libtorrent-rasterbar-0.15.5.tar.gz

Here's the changelog from 0.15.4:

   * support DHT extension to report external IPs
   * fixed rare crash in http_connection's error handling
   * avoid connecting to peers listening on ports < 1024
   * optimized piece picking to not cause busy loops in some end-game modes
   * fixed python bindings for tcp::endpoint
   * fixed edge case of pad file support
   * limit number of torrents tracked by DHT
   * fixed bug when allow_multiple_connections_per_ip was enabled
   * potential WOW64 fix for unbuffered I/O (windows)
   * expose set_alert_queue_size_limit to python binding
   * support dht nodes in magnet links
   * support 100 Continue HTTP responses
   * changed default choker behavior to use 8 unchoke slots (instead of being rate based)
   * fixed error reporting issue in disk I/O thread
   * fixed file allocation issues on linux
   * fixed filename encoding and decoding issue on platforms using iconv
   * reports redundant downloads to tracker, fixed downloaded calculation to
     be more stable when not including redundant. Improved redundant data accounting
     to be more accurate
   * fixed bugs in http seed connection and added unit test for it
   * fixed error reporting when fallocate fails
   * deprecate support for separate proxies for separate kinds of connections

Re: libtorrent 0.15.5 released

Hi,

Using 443 as listening port is an obligation for our private network.

* avoid connecting to peers listening on ports < 1024

is this feature configurable?

It is in trunk. It's not in 0.15.x in order to stay binary compatible with
previous releases.

In 0.15.5 it's quite easy to remove, see src/policy.cpp:565 and :1011

The code snippets to remove are:

      if (p.port < 1024)
         return false;

and:

      if (remote.port() < 1024)
      {
         if (ses.m_alerts.should_post<peer_blocked_alert>())
            ses.m_alerts.post_alert(peer_blocked_alert(remote.address()));
         return 0;
      }

respectively. In trunk it's configurable through

the 'convert_to_native' problem

Hello Arvid,
     In my env: VS2005 and Select the 'Use Multi-Byte Character Set',  the
boost filesystem path get the native code string(GB2312)， but all the string
will put in 'convert_to_native' (which treat all string as UTF-8)， so, this
convert will failed and create a error path string. Currently, I modify the
'convert_to_native' function return the original when 'utf8_wchar' failed. I
don't know all thing will be OK?

The intention is to use convert_from_native() for strings that comes from the
OS. That should correctly convert the strings to utf-8, which is the internal
format.

Where is convert_to_native() called on a string which originates from the OS?

qbittorrent 2.5.5 and 2.6.0 build failure with libtorrent-rasterbar 0.15.5

Howdy,

I get the attached build failure with both qbittorrent 2.5.5 and 2.6.0 
on FreeBSD when trying to build them against libtorrent 0.15.5. Using 
0.14.12 it works just fine. The boost libs in question are version 
1.45.0. I have not yet had a chance to test this against previous 
versions of 0.15.x, but I can if you think it would be helpful.

Let me know if there is any other information that you need.

Best regards,

Doug

It looks like the C header <string.h> and the c++ header <cstring> might have
some compatibility issue. The line the error refers to calls: std::memcpy().

It appears memcpy() is simply a define for bcopy(). memcpy() is a standard C
function, which in the C++ header appears in the std namespace, bcopy however is
a posix function which is not part of the C (or C++) standard. I bet this is why
it didn't make it into the std namespace.

I would imagine the build error could be worked around by simply removing the
namespace qualifier "std::".

Re: the 'convert_to_native' problem

// my compiled boost filesystem lib in Multi-Byte (the char* API) use the OS
current code env （my machine is GB2312）

libtorrent::disk_io_thread::operator
libtorrent::disk_io_thread::flush_and_remove
libtorrent::disk_io_thread::flush_range
libtorrent::piece_manager::write_impl
libtorrent::storage::writev
libtorrent::storage::readwritev
libtorrent::file_pool::open_file
libtorrent::file::open
    #if TORRENT_USE_WPATH
    #define CreateFile_ CreateFileW
        m_path = convert_to_wstring(path.external_file_string());
    #else
    #define CreateFile_ CreateFileA
        m_path = convert_to_native(path.external_file_string());
    #endif

in this flow lines, called the 'convert_to_native' to convert the path
string ( --> utf8_wchar -->wcstombs-->), and then call the CreateFileA, but,
the path get from boost is use GetCurrentDirectoryA, is already the mbs
encode , not utf-8 encode. so, will get a error path (like: "c:/test/测试" -->
"c:/test", lost the Chinese character)

Thank you for your reply, I'm not sure whether such a clear description of
your questions.

libtorrent 0.15.5 and windows binaries

Hi!

I see that libtorrent 0.15.5 is released, but the SF downloads [1]_ page
doesn't list Windows binaries .msi files for either 0.15.4 or 0.15.5.

Is there a problem with 0.15.5 on Windows?  Or is it just the case that
no one has created binaries, yet?
