Zitat von EóinHello everyone, long time no news but hopefully the large revision bump over the previous release should hopefully show a lot of work has been done even if things were quiet here online.
Some major changes forced numerous delays, but each and every change was very positive. Most importantly Hailte is now based on libtorrent 0.14. That brings with it disk cache support and a 'managed torrent' queue system. The list of other changes are well worth reading too
http://code.rasterbar.com/libtorrent/brows...-0_14/ChangeLog. To get an idea of how the queue system works you should read
that section of the libtorrent reference. I will really have to rewrite that to an end user description.
Optional port randomization has been added, both the main port and the DHT one. Numerous internal settings and values have now been exposed through the UI to give users increased control should they wish. The defaults should suffice for most. Halite now plays nice with UAC but that changes deserves special attention so pay heed:
Important for people upgrading!When installing through the MSI file download, Halite will make a registry entry pointing it to use the local Application Data directory for all configuration files. Users should manually copy any existing files from an older Halite version to that directory. The recommended files and folders to copy are:
Halite.xml
BitTorrent.xml
IPFilter.bin
DHTState.bin
resume/*
torrents/*
These changes were necessary to make Halite fully compatible with User Account Control. To revert to 'portable mode' whereby all config information will be saved alongside the executable simply delete that registry key (HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareHalitepath). If you only ever used the standalone download release this will not be necessary.
