v0.6.0

v0.6.0, overall, tries to make magnetico more stable rather than
introducing new features.

magneticod

• Removed better_bencode internal fork (but we are still using it so no
  loss at performance). This has caused some issues for some users and
  this release should solve the issue (e.g. #98).
• General cleanup, performance improvements, minor bug fixes...
  • Most notably among all, we improved our still-primitive congestion
    control support for BSD-based OSes, including OS X.

magneticow

• There are no changes in magneticow, but version number is bumped to
  stay in-sync with magneticod.

v0.5.0

Phew, what an effort it was to ship magnetico out this time!

magneticod

• Thanks to @richardkiss' heoric effort, magneticod now is ported to Python's
  asyncio (and uses uvloop for further performance improvements).

  CPU usage is reduced by 60%, and many older bugs are eliminated: #3, #55, #61

• Switched to better-bencode from bencoder.pyx for performance reasons. CPU
  utilization dropped by half.

magneticow

• magneticow is finally became fast! Database indexes are created to speed-up
  file-list page (i.e. torrent info) and statistics.

v0.4.0

magneticod:

• Performance improvements
  • Unregistering WRITE event when possible
  • Using files instead of memory for temporary SQLite
    objects
• Stability improvements
  • Limit metadata size to prevent crashes due to
    malicious or malformed answers.
  • Flushing metadata buffer while exiting gracefully

magneticow:

• Stability improvements
  • Homepage crash due to count functionality when the
    database is empty, is fixed.
• Statistics page added, although very slow!

v0.3.0

magneticod

• Stalled DisposablePeers are shut down after 120 seconds (fixes #47 and #38)
• Improved performance, thanks to @ngosang, @ad-m, and all other contributors (fixes #48)
• Default logging level is now set to INFO (since many users would freak out after seeing "peer failed" messages...)

magneticow

• Search speed improved A LOT, like "A L O T"! (fixes #8)
  (for the curious, the problem was that magneticow initialised database every single time a request is made because "the global application context" (flask.g) didn't work for some reason I don't know. Now it's blazing fast!)
• A bit of logging added to assist the user. This is especially important as magneticow now takes a bit of time to initialize itself
  (as reasonably expected) and will not be able to handle any requests until it's complete.
• A faster but possibly less accurate (and not-guaranteed behaviour dependent) calculation of the number of torrents.
• Thousands separator for the torrent count in the homepage.

v0.2.0

mangeticod

• Cython-based bencoder.pyx is used instead of our own pure Python solution.
• --node-addr commandline argument added.
• TCP QUICKACK is automatically enabled (instead of by default) so that magneticod can work on macOS as well.
• Database index added for info_hash column of torrents table.

magneticow

• Some small performance improvements for search.
