v7.0.1

7.0.1 - hotfix release

The binaries were ok, but the cargo crate had an issue were it couldn't parse torrents - fixed here c063cc5

NOTE: also for 7.0.0 and 7.0.1 the docker images and linux binaries were compiled to use ring for SHA1, instead of openssl, which turned out to be very slow. I reverted to openssl and rebuilt these without upgrading the version as nothing in rqbit changed, only the build parameters (enabled features).

v6.0.0

rqbit v6.0.0

There's a ton of internal changes an refactorings.

librqbit API might have changed a tiny bit, mostly from newly added options.

Biggest changes:

• streaming API + exposed HTTP endpoint + Web UI linking to file streams
• librqbit: dynamic storage backends
• ability to write to disk in background with buffering up to certain memory size. Isn't proven useful yet, but may be useful for disks with occasional latency spikes.
• optimisations

PRs merged

• Streaming API for existing on-disk storage by @ikatson in #124
• Bump up peer semaphore to increase per-peer speed on high-latency connections by @ikatson in #130
• Dynamic configurable storages by @ikatson in #129
• More storage backends and middlewares + ability to write to storage in background (with a flag / option) by @ikatson in #131
• A lot of changes and refactorings while simulating slow disks by @ikatson in #132
• More robust deletion of files and folders (fixes #140) by @ikatson in #145
• fix: can not add base32 encoded magnet url by @evrins in #151
• Add redirect for /web by @izderadicka in #152
• Add support for TB and PB in formatBytes in webui by @kielerdotdev in #156
• Add spawn blocking to FileStream by @izderadicka in #157
• Mark dead code explicitly by @izderadicka in #158
• Add content type to streams by @izderadicka in #162
• Update leaky_bucket version - current version have issues by @izderadicka in #163
• Fix #161 by @ikatson in #164

New Contributors

• @evrins made their first contribution in #151
• @izderadicka made their first contribution in #152
• @kielerdotdev made their first contribution in #156

Full Changelog: v5.6.4...v6.0.0

v6.0.0-beta.2

• Fixed a bug introduced by one of recent refactorings, where magnet links stopped working sometimes

NOTE: there's still something fishy going on as e2e tests are less stable in 6.0.0-beta* than stable, probably related to stealing code changes.
