Downloadmanager: Charon V1.98
Von dem Downlaod-Manager "Charon" steht unter dem Titellink Version 1.98
zum Download bereit. Lesen Sie im Anschluss die Original-Meldung mit
allen Änderungen:
Well, believe it or not, it's been released. Available from my
homepage or from Aminet in a couple of days.
Version 1.98 (6.1.2002)
- Introduced the concept of groups. Now each URL can belong to
a group and will take that group's settings as its default
settings. A new URL is by default placed in the group in
which the active entry indicator is currently found.
- Completely rewritten URL parsing routine which resulted in a
large speed up. This speed up would be even larger, but the
URL comparison routine was changed from simple string compare
to full-blown URL comparison routine which works properly.
- Rewritten detection of duplicates in the list. The code is now
much faster and works for any number of duplicates, unlike in
the last version.
- Charon now remembers the length of the file on server and
shows it all the time (if it is available).
- Many improvements and some fixes in the HTML parsing routine.
- Addressed some security issues.
- There's now a special treatment for %2F URL escape code (/)
because there are some filesystems that allow / in a filename.
- Added support for ftp://.../file;type=x URLs.
- When automatically creating filenames from the URL, %xx
sequences are now decoded.
- There's a new section in the documentation describing some
"hidden" features. Charon's tooltypes/arguments (LOG and
SETTINGS) are documented there.
- It is now possible to log all HTTP headers that were sent or
received through Charon for debugging purposes. More about
this in the advanced section of the manual.
- There's a new configuration option which tells Charon not to
read the size of the files on the disk during the startup thus
speeding it up. More about this in the advanced section of
the manual.
- DOS requesters are now blocked while the list of entries is
being loaded in order to prevent a bunch of the "Please
insert ..." requesters from a appearing if one of your drives
is dismounted.
- New gadget "Move & start" in HTML links and Internet search
windows.
- Changed the way Charon shortens the filenames when "Max
filename length" option comes into action.
- Changed the way the "Directory structure" option works. It now
also takes into consideration the name of the host.
- When a file is downloaded and Charon needs to check if there
are any queued files to be started, they are first searched
for in the same group in which the downloaded file was.
- Some changes in ARexx interface as a result of introduction
of groups.
- Updated some and removed some searches from Internet search
window. Ideas for possible additions are welcome.
- Fixed a bug in parsing dates in HTTP headers.
- Fixed a rare bug in display of percentage of the downloaded
file.
- Too long FTP paths would cause a crash while sending a
request. Fixed.
- Fixed a small memory leak during that occured only when Charon
was started from the shell.
- Charon would report that it couldn't resume a transfer when a
file had already been downloaded fully.
- SET Arexx command wasn't working properly for ages, fixed.
