known bugs

  • if an upload is paused by setting parallel uploads to 0 in the UI...
    • ...for "about an hour", it might be unable to resume
    • ...for 6 hours or more, it is definitely unable to resume

unless the upload was paused for 6 hours or more, it can probably be resumed by refreshing the website and restarting the upload ("probably" because haven't been able to reproduce)

new features

  • up2k-client: 100x faster initialization when adding lots of files
  • cachebuster to force chrome to use the correct js/css files since it ignores the no-cache header
  • make -nw apply to more stuff (up2k skips creating files)

bugfixes

  • up2k-client:
    • fix crash caused by parallel uploads running far ahead, ui trying to update stuff it already purged
      • mostly problematic when uploading lots of small files mixed with slightly-larger files
    • general robustness
      • recover from tcp/dns issues during chunk-uploads
      • recover from antivirus yanking files mid-read
      • ignore server complaining about duplicate chunks, it's fine
    • help chrome not get stuck when it sees a file named aux.h on windows
    • notice and panic on more errors
      • and stop trying to do things after something died to an unhandled exception
    • less confusing debug messages regarding sha512 library selection
