Version 1.8.1 of aria2
Release Notes: This release fixes the bug that causes a segmentation fault if unknown options exist in the aria2.conf file and the user cannot include an empty line in aria2.conf. The following new command line options were added: --http-no-cache, --bt-metadata-only, and --human-readable. The aria2.getSessionInfo XML-RPC method was added. The "dir" and "files" keys were added to the response struct of the aria2.tellStatus XML-RPC method. aria2 now returns a gzip compressed XML-RPC response if the XML-RPC client accepts gzip content encoding.
Other releases
Release Notes: This release fixes the bug that prevents the --checksum option from working correctly. It also fixes the bug where a log file was not created if a warn level log was created before the log file was opened. Now aria2 doesn't assume the download has completed just because file size matched. The old behavior is problematic, because aria2 just assumes the download is completed, but in reality it is not.
Release Notes: This release adds many available options to aria2.changeOption and aria2.changeGlobalOption RPC methods. IPv6 literal address is now supported in the proxy options. The --metalink-server option is now deprecated, and the --split option should be used instead. In this release, --metalink-server is an alias of --split. The format ETA in console readout is changed slightly. The option --stop-with-process has been added.
Release Notes: This release fixes a libgcrypt version checking error. Several commandline options have been added. aria2 now returns an error response if an RPC request parameter has the wrong type. For the MinGW32 build, Unicode filename support has been added. aria2 now uses libnettle and libgmp by default instead of libgcrypt. If you want to use libgcrypt, use the configure options --without-libnettle and --with-libgcrypt.
Release Notes: This release adds RFC 6249 Metalink/HTTP support. The current implementation only uses rel=duplicate links. The --enable-direct-io option was deprecated because of a performance issue. Since recent GnuTLS uses libnettle by default instead of libgcrypt, this release added initialization code for libgcrypt.
Release Notes: This release adds a --pause option that makes the download paused state immediately when added. If --save-session is used, aria2 will save a download paused with the --pause option. The aria2.getGlobalStat RPC method was added. It returns global statistics such as overall download speed. This release also fixes the bug where an RPC request fails if it is compressed. aria2 will no longer save a removed download in the --save-session text file. --file-allocation=falloc now works in the MinGW32 build. This only works with NTFS. A Russian translation of the man page and HTML manual was added.
