[gtk-gnutella-devel] GTKG 1.1.6 has been released

[Raphael M. <Rap...@po...>]

Dear Gnutella fans,

Here is the ChangeLog for 1.1.6, which unfortunately I forgot to package!

# v 1.1.6   2015-11-08  [stable]

This is a bug-fixing release.

This time it focues on Windows, which apparently exercised some bugs in
common code with other platforms -- so some fixes are going to benefit to
everyone even though the bugs did not manifest themselves as often.

Improvements:
- Increased default and max for "max_leaves" to account for modern systems.
- Pulled latest translations from transifex.
- Updated GeoIP databases.

Bug Fixes:
- Fixed memory leak on the error path of OOB / G2 query hit sending.
- Fixed memory leak on the file upload path.
- aging_insert(): was not properly handling freeing of keys, causing leaks.
- Fixed property description message for "max_leaves".
- Windows: no HEAP_NO_SERIALIZE flag on HeapAlloc() since we're multi-threaded.
- mingw_valloc(): fixed monitoring of unreserved VM space.
- Windows: optimized the inital VM space reservation.
- rpc_delay(): avoid int overflowing, which would make delay negative!
- node_udp_sr_data_ind(): do not crash if UDP was disabled or port was 0.
- Fixed crashes in the omalloc() layer.

Under the Hood:
- Make sure an initial GMT offset is computed before the time thread starts.
- Compact the aging structure on 64-bit platforms.
- Fixed possible race between evq_trampoline() and evq_event_discard().
- Added safety assertions: a removed item must belong to the list.
- Fixed typos in safety assertions.
- EVQ: closed race condition betweeen queues recreated in same thread ID.
- Use getrlimit(RLIMIT_AS) to get the available space, not RLIMIT_DATA.
- Windows: try harder to compute a relevant break value with sbrk(0).
- Windows: added cpp trap for dup().
- Windows: fixed fcntl(F_DUPFD) implementation which was not thread-safe.
- Windows: dump symbolic PC on stack overflows, after basic information.
- elist_remove(): assert that removed item must be part of some list.
- evq_event_discard(): be quiet when removing event for the event queue thread.
- evq_event_discard(): correctly handle cancelable events.
- evq_trampoline(): factorize removal of triggered item from queue list.
- evq_trampoline(): fixed logging message to use copied value.
- getgateway(): on Linux, cache previously computed value in case netlink fails.
- getgateway(): on Linux, the netlink socket can return EAGAIN on recv().
- main_command_line(): optimized and simplified!
- malloc_init_vtable(): be sure to set G_SLICE=always-malloc on Windows.
- mingw_exception(): skip printing of stacktrace if we got a stack overflow.
- mingw_getrlimit(): implement a better RLIMIT_DATA query.
- mingw_getrlimit(): return different max / current values to account for usage.
- mingw_signal(): always record signal handler in our internal list of handlers.
- mingw_valloc(): don't complain about non-hinted allocations when crashing!
- mingw_valloc(): use s_minicarp() to limit resource consumption.
- mingw_valloc(): when nearing out-of-memory, take data segment into account.
- mingw_vmm_init(): accelerate initialization, reducing amount of system calls.
- mingw_win2posix(): handle 0 to avoid warnings when called with no error.
- mingw_win2posix(): mapped ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT to ENOEXEC.
- mingw_win2posix(): mapped ERROR_NETNAME_DELETED to EHOSTUNREACH.
- mingw_win2posix(): use s_minicarp() instead of s_warning() to see "culprit".
- omalloc_allocate(): was releasing spinlock too soon in read-only mode.
- omalloc_chunk_allocate_from(): fixed bug when header dissolution was required.
- publisher_handle(): simplified code by factorizing shared_file_unref() call.
- s_minicarp() and s_minicrit(): carefully avoid stdio when dumping stack.
- sdbm_close(): ensure we sync pending dirty data when database is not volatile.
- sdbm_name(): return path to the .pag file if no name was explicitly given.
- settings_init(): when computing max VM space, use max from RLIMIT_AS, not cur.
- socket_create_and_bind(): on Linux systems, force SO_REUSEADDR before bind().
- sort-test: reduce verbosity by default.
- thread_suspend_others(): silently suspends itself if concurrently asked to.
- udp_sched_write_error(): don't dump a stack trace on send errors we expect.

Enjoy!
