File Release Notes and Changelog
Notes:
Changes:
0.6.3 - Sept 2, 05
-----------------------
* d0c - Now catching an error in g3rpcserver where if webinterface port was changed it would cause an error on restart
* d0c - Tray Icon graphs now clear when Rufus is restored from tray - requested as it can be misleading as it is not updated when Rufus isn't minimised to tray
* d0c - Fixed bugs in the search panel with the buttons - made some last minute changes and was a little over-confident with my coding I think... not enough testing :)
0.6.2 - Sept 1, 05
-----------------------
* d0c - Completed the activexwrapper for the search panel. Download requests intercepted so that torrents are loaded directly into Rufus
* d0c - Fixed a small issue with selection of peers from peerlist - clicking on mini-p2pgauge wouldn't select the list item
0.6.1 - Aug 24, 05 - Merge
-----------------------
* Merged the following changes from LeoXV into the current Rufus source:
* LeoXV - Tweaked socket timeout within scrape - will hopefully speed up Rufus shutdown in win32
* LeoXV - (Linux) Reduction of CPU usage when minimized
* LeoXV - Added ability to select more than one torrent at a time when loading torrents (requested)
* LeoXV - (Linux) Fixed stat errors on shutdown and reduced socket timeout to increase speed of close
* LeoXV - Added LeoXV's choker - adds share ratio parameter to g3torrent choker
* LeoXV - Added peer identification for MooPolice, SwarmScope, BTSlave and alt. libTorrent
0.6.0 - Aug 8, 05
-----------------------
* d0c - (win32) Search tab can now be disabled by right-clicking on the tabs and unchecking the 'search' option - eliminating resources used by search panel (restart needed to free resources properly - mijnimise to tray works to an extent)
* d0c - (win32) Added a new settings panel to the search tab which gives the user more control over the search engine settings
* d0c - Fixed a bug in the friends panel where if a non-default web interface/XMLRPC port was used it would disable the friends feature in certain circumstances
* d0c - Fixed an intermittent bug in the XMLRPC server which appeared when when a torrent was loaded directly from a web-browser causing Rufus to start - all other attempts to load more from the browser would fail (thanks odo646)
* d0c - Rufus now remembers the columns settings between torrents (req by R a d)
0.5.9 - July 24, 05
-----------------------
* d0c - Added search tab (win32 only for the moment) to allow for HTML searches to be carried out (requested)

-----------------------
