v8.0.0

rqbit v8.0.0

Why a major release? Lots of merged PRs since v7.0.1, minor breaking changes in librqbit API and CLI naming.
Other than that, it's a checkpoint to release all the work by many contributors.

Breaking changes

• Minimal Rust version bumped from 1.75 to 1.78
• CLI parameters changes:
  • renamed disable-upnp -> disable-upnp-port-forward
  • removed upnp-server-hostname
  • added enable-upnp-server
• librqbit API changes: if any, they are minor, but might be some depending on usage. All should be easy to fix just by resolving compilation errors.

UI features

• There's a banner in the bottom showing total up/down speed and uploaded/downloaded bytes since restart
• Upload multiple files through UI

Some Other features

• upload/download rate limits
• watching a directory for .torrent files and adding them automatically (usage in #237)
• Improved UPNP server support. Now works on some Samsung TVs, and should be more reliable overall.

HTTP API changes

• /playlist URLs
• basic auth support (see #279 for usage)

BitTorrent protocol features

• BEP-47 padding files
• BEP-53 select only files from magnet
• BEP-11 Peer EXchange

v7.0.1

7.0.1 - hotfix release

The binaries were ok, but the cargo crate had an issue were it couldn't parse torrents - fixed here c063cc5

NOTE: also for 7.0.0 and 7.0.1 the docker images and linux binaries were compiled to use ring for SHA1, instead of openssl, which turned out to be very slow. I reverted to openssl and rebuilt these without upgrading the version as nothing in rqbit changed, only the build parameters (enabled features).

v6.0.0

rqbit v6.0.0

There's a ton of internal changes an refactorings.

librqbit API might have changed a tiny bit, mostly from newly added options.

Biggest changes:

• streaming API + exposed HTTP endpoint + Web UI linking to file streams

• ability to write to disk in background with buffering up to certain memory size. Isn't proven useful yet, but may be useful for disks with occasional latency spikes.
