  • Allow deselecting the entire torrent with deselect() to happen earlier

v0.95.5 - 2016-07-26

  • Fix support for FileList input to client.seed()

v0.95.4 - 2016-07-26

  • Skip blocklist logic when opts.blocklist is not set


v0.95.3 - 2016-07-26

  • Fix WebTorrent version string

v0.95.2 - 2016-06-22

  • HEAD requests
 to HTTP server should not send entire body
  • WebTorrent, LLC is now the steward of the project

v0.95.1 - 2016-06-15

  • Emit 'seed' event on the torrent object

v0.95.0 - 2016-06-15

  • API: Add file.getBlob() method

  • Fix rare exception in lib/tcp-pool.js

v0.94.4 - 2016-06-10

  • Support torrent with a single 0 byte file
  • Use < since it handles NaN in a predictable way, i.e. false

v0.94.3 - 2016-05-30

  • Use safe-buffer for improved buffer safety

v0.94.2 - 2016-05-28

  • Fix rare exception in lib/file.js

v0.94.1 - 2016-05-26

  • Make WebTorrent user agent string consistent across whole codebase

v0.94.0 - 2016-05-19

  • Support exact source (xs) paramter of magnet URIs, for retreiving metadata

v0.93.4 - 2016-05-17

  • Fix rare exception caused by race condition in lib/peer.js

v0.93.3 - 2016-05-13

  • Don't unset {tracker: {wrtc: false}} option to WebTorrent constructor.

v0.93.2 - 2016-05-12

  • When a duplicate torrent is added, don't emit the 'infoHash' event after 'error'. The 'error' event should be the last event.

v0.93.1 - 2016-05-08

  • Remove path-exists dependency.

v0.93.0 - 2016-05-08

  • Move tracker options (rtcConfig and wrtc) into opts.tracker.

    Before:

    var client = new WebTorrent({ rtcConfig: {}, wrtc: {} })

    After:

    var client = new WebTorrent({ tracker: { rtcConfig: {}, wrtc: {} } })

v0.92.0 - 2016-05-05

  • Add new event: torrent.on('noPeers', function (announceType) {})

    Emitted whenever a DHT or tracker announce occurs, but no peers have been found. announceType is either 'tracker' or 'dht' depending on which announce occurred to trigger this event. Note that if you're attempting to discover peers from both a tracker and a DHT, you'll see this event separately for each.

v0.91.4 - 2016-05-05

  • Fix exception: "peer._destroy is not a function" when calling torrent.pause()

v0.91.3 - 2016-05-04

  • Fix torrent.swarm from causing an infinite recursion.

v0.91.2 - 2016-04-28

  • Test node v6

v0.91.1 - 2016-04-24

  • Emit 'done' event after sending the 'complete' message to the tracker.

v0.91.0 - 2016-04-21

Added

  • client.listening property to signal whether TCP server is listening for incoming connections.

  • client.dhtPort property reflects the actual DHT port when user doesn't specify one (this is parallel to client.torrentPort for the TCP torrent listening server)

Changed

  • Merged Swarm class into Torrent object. Properties on torrent.swarm (like torrent.swarm.wires) now exist on torrent (e.g. torrent.wires).

  • Deprecate: Do not use torrent.swarm anymore. Use torrent instead.

  • torrent.addPeer can no longer be called before the infoHash event has been emitted.

  • Remove torrent.on('listening') event. Use client.on('listening') instead.

  • Remove support from TCPPool for listening on multiple ports. This was not used by WebTorrent and just added complexity. There is now a single TCPPool instance for the whole WebTorrent client.

  • Deprecate: Do not use client.download() anymore. Use client.add() instead.

  • Only pass torrent.infoHash to the Chunk Store constructor, instead of the Torrent instance itself, to prevent accidental memory leaks of the Torrent object by the store. (Open an issue if you were using other properties. They can be re-added.)

  • Non-fatal errors with a single torrent will be emitted at torrent.on('error'). You should listen to this event. Previously, all torrent errors were also emitted on client.on('error') and handling torrent.on('error') was optional. This design is better since now it is possible to distinguish between fatal client errors (client.on('error')) when the whole client becomes unusable versus recoverable errors where only a single torrent fails (torrent.on('error')) but the client can continue to be used. However, if there is no torrent.on('error') event, then the error will be forwarded to client.on('error'). This prevents crashing the client when the user only has a listener on the client, but it makes it impossible for them to determine a client error versus a torrent error.

  • Removed torrent.numBlockedPeers property. Use the blockedPeer event to track this yourself.

Fixed

  • If client.get is passed a Torrent instance, it now only returns it if it is present in the client.

  • Errors creating a torrent with client.seed are now emitted on the returned torrent object instead of the client (unless there is no event listeners on torrent.on('error') as previously discussed). The torrent object is now also destroyed automatically for the user, as was probably expected.

  • Do not return existing torrent object when duplicate torrent is added. Fire an 'error' event instead.

  • Memory leaks of Torrent object caused by many internal subclasses of WebTorrent, including RarityMap, TCPPool, WebConn, Server, File.

  • client.ratio and torrent.ratio are now calculated as uploaded / received instead of uploaded / downloaded.

Previous versions

We did not maintain a changelog for versions prior to v0.91.0. The initial release of WebTorrent was on Dec 4, 2013.
