Release Note

This release adds JSON-RPC over WebSocket. It uses the same request/response JSON objects with existing JSON-RPC over HTTP and adds event notifications from server to client. See manpage for details. TLS hostname check is rewritten based on RFC 6125 and it is used for both GNUTLS and OpenSSL builds. The --bt-remove-unselected-file option was added. This option removes the unselected files when BitTorrent download is completed.

Changes

• Use CreateProcessW instead of CreateProcessA in MinGW build. This means filename is now passed as wchar string, not UTF-8 encoded char string.
• Check with pkg-config only: c-ares, openssl, sqlite3 and zlib. Removed --with-*-prefix configure option for c-ares, openssl, sqlite3, zlib and expat. Use CPPFLAGS and/or PKG_CONFIG_PATH instead.
• Fixed compile error with i686-w64-mingw32 and x86_64-w64-mingw32 cross compilers.
• Get the home directory of the effective user ID using getpwuid() if $HOME is not defined.
• Don't use locale dependent toupper and tolower.
• Rewritten TLS hostname check based on RFC 6125 for both GNUTLS and OpenSSL builds.
• Added --bt-remove-unselected-file option. Removes the unselected files when download is completed in BitTorrent. To select files, use --select-file option. If it is not used, all files are assumed to be selected. Please use this option with care because it will actually remove files from your disk. This option is default to false.
• Fixed compile error on Open Solaris. Fixes bug#3497518
