File Release Notes and Changelog

Release Name: 0.4

Notes:


Changes:
--Added resume support for downloads.

--Added setting to control time interval for log roll-over.

--Increased the send queue length to 300 (was previously 50).

--Added code for cleanly breaking a socket connection that is blocked on a 
  send. This makes removing bad connections and shutting down much faster.

--Changed to handle repeat downloads of the same file more gracefully.

--Changed HostCatcher to convert address to IP-form before trying to add it,
  thus avoiding the slowdown (win32, mainly) of comparing a bad DNS-form 
  address to each address in the list (it used to call gethostbyname
  for the bad address over and over during each comparison).

--Changed the HostCatcher class to return a host list in a randomized order
  (before, if several new nodes connected to the same host cache, they would
   all march through the same host list in the same order to look for 
   connections).

--Added code to make canceling downloads instantaneous.

--Added a "Grab Hash" button that copies the hash from the selected search 
  result into the search field (along with hash_).  This allows you to search
  for duplicates of a particular file.

--Changed search panel so that buttons are disabled when they cannot do
  anything (for example, the download button is disabled when no results are 
  selected).

--Updated ui/common/formatUtils to use translations for the time units (hours,
  minutes, seconds, milliseconds).

--Added GiB units (before, MiB was the largest).

--Changed file sharing code to use BinarySemaphores instead of general 
  (counting) Semaphores.

--Added a connection quality gauge.
