- Add option to disable BEP19 web seeds (
webSeeds
option to theWebTorrent
constructor)
- Fix exceptions in
server.close()
andserver.destroy()
- Warn when WebTorrent is installed on Node.js older than v4.0.0.
- Better docs for .renderTo()
- Replace 'hat' with 'randombytes'
- Better debug logs
- Prevent possible stack overflow
- Add options to disable autoplay/hide controls with
appendTo()
andrenderTo()
- Allow deselecting the entire torrent with
deselect()
to happen earlier
- Fix support for FileList input to client.seed()
- Skip blocklist logic when opts.blocklist is not set
- Fix WebTorrent version string
- HEAD requests to HTTP server should not send entire body
- WebTorrent, LLC is now the steward of the project
- Emit 'seed' event on the torrent object
- API: Add
file.getBlob()
method - Fix rare exception in
lib/tcp-pool.js
- Support torrent with a single 0 byte file
- Use
<
since it handlesNaN
in a predictable way, i.e.false
- Use
safe-buffer
for improved buffer safety
- Fix rare exception in
lib/file.js
- Make WebTorrent user agent string consistent across whole codebase
- Support exact source (xs) paramter of magnet URIs, for retreiving metadata
- Fix rare exception caused by race condition in
lib/peer.js
- Don't unset
{tracker: {wrtc: false}}
option toWebTorrent
constructor.
- When a duplicate torrent is added, don't emit the 'infoHash' event after 'error'. The 'error' event should be the last event.
- Remove
path-exists
dependency.
-
Move tracker options (
rtcConfig
andwrtc
) intoopts.tracker
.Before:
var client = new WebTorrent({ rtcConfig: {}, wrtc: {} })
After:
var client = new WebTorrent({ tracker: { rtcConfig: {}, wrtc: {} } })
-
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.
- Fix exception: "peer._destroy is not a function" when calling
torrent.pause()
- Fix
torrent.swarm
from causing an infinite recursion.
- Test node v6
- Emit 'done' event after sending the
'complete'
message to the tracker.
-
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 toclient.torrentPort
for the TCP torrent listening server)
-
Merged
Swarm
class intoTorrent
object. Properties ontorrent.swarm
(liketorrent.swarm.wires
) now exist ontorrent
(e.g.torrent.wires
). -
Deprecate: Do not use
torrent.swarm
anymore. Usetorrent
instead. -
torrent.addPeer
can no longer be called before theinfoHash
event has been emitted. -
Remove
torrent.on('listening')
event. Useclient.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 singleTCPPool
instance for the whole WebTorrent client. -
Deprecate: Do not use
client.download()
anymore. Useclient.add()
instead. -
Only pass
torrent.infoHash
to the Chunk Store constructor, instead of theTorrent
instance itself, to prevent accidental memory leaks of theTorrent
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 onclient.on('error')
and handlingtorrent.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 notorrent.on('error')
event, then the error will be forwarded toclient.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 theblockedPeer
event to track this yourself.
-
If
client.get
is passed aTorrent
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 returnedtorrent
object instead of the client (unless there is no event listeners ontorrent.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, includingRarityMap
,TCPPool
,WebConn
,Server
,File
. -
client.ratio
andtorrent.ratio
are now calculated asuploaded / received
instead ofuploaded / downloaded
.
We did not maintain a changelog for versions prior to v0.91.0. The initial release of WebTorrent was on Dec 4, 2013.
