Azureus 2.0.7.0

Azureus 2.0.7.0 has been released. Here is the change log from the Azureus Homepage:

Changes:

• Azureus now identifies itself via User-Agent in tracker http communications
  
• Less flickering, on all platforms (tested on both windows and linux+GTK)
  
• Azureus now responds as Server: Azureus in tracker http comms
  
• Unwritten blocks in Pieces view shown in red
  
• Prioritizing first piece of file(s) now optional in config
  
• Confirmation on data deletion now optional in config
  
• More intelligent announce url ‘&numwant=’ handling
  
• On tracker announce errors, retry interval now uses exponential backoff
  
• Removed multi-port listening, as shared single port is far superior
  
• More reliable .config and .torrent file writing
  
• Tracker scraper now honors a ‘flags: min_request_interval’ response
  
• Plugins can be initialised from plugin.properties freestanding (not just in .jar file)

Corrected bugs:

• Problem with tracker not responding with “Connection: close” causing SSL session maintainance with HttpsURLConnection to stuff up and fail clients with “recv fail”
  
• Fast resuming with Chinese directories: Bug #869749
  
• System tray icon re-shown after explorer.exe crash (again)
  
• Fix for potential memory leaks
  
• Fix for stalled piece writing
  
• Fix for .torrent file data not being fully written on shutdown
  
• Fix for OutOfMemoryError in DiskManager: Bug #865553
  
• Fix for ‘Open a URL’ downloading of .torrent file which contains white spaces: Bug #878990
  
• Fix for Fast Resume with Chinese torrents: Bug #878015
  
• Fix for excess thread creation when tracker does not support single-infohash scrapes
  
• Fix for hash checking 0-byte files: Bug #853126
  
• Fix for opening files via Files tab when using MoveOnComplete: Bugs #860822, #878795
  
• Fix for 100% cpu usage after network disconnect/reconnect: Bugs #873957, #879498
  
• Fix for downloaded blocks not being written to disk, due to write-thread stall under high load
  
• Fix for various non-unicode torrent encoding issues regarding resume data

New Features:

• Under Linux + GTK, added an option to setup a vertical offset to re-align graphics
  
• SSL tracker client now gives option to import certificate rather than manually doing so via “keytool”
  
• Start All Downloads option on tray icon
  
• Support for trackers that do not return peerIDs on announce
  
• Sharing – allows files/dirs/dir contents (recursive) to automatically have torrents created for them and torrents hosted
  The shared resources will automatically have their torrents recalculated if they change (over Azureus restart)
  
• Tracker allows number of peers returned to be limited
  
• Experimental UDP tracker protocol (see Config->Tracker->Extensions). Azureus client/tracker supports this, as does the XBT tracker (http://sourceforge.net/projects/xbtt/)
  
• Tracker support for GZIP encoding
  
• Tracker support for multiple pages
  
• Tracker pages skinable by placing pages in %azhome%/web
  
• Major extensions to plugin interfaces
  
• Simple Swing based remote admin interface (over SSL+password auth) – email parg@users.sourceforge.net for details
  
• Click on hash in general view to copy hash to clipboard
  
• Quick Change of up speed by right-clicking on the up speed indicator
