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.
* Removed unnecessary functions such as those that just wraps a standard
library function (e.g. '__random_bytes()' in SybilNode), and those
that are wrongly abstracted (e.g. `cleanup` in __main__.py)
* Created `__build_GET_PEERS_query()` and `__build_ANNOUNCE_PEER()` in
SybilNode to eliminate the cost of calling `bencode.dumps()` in these
critical functions.
* Added some more comments to explain the rationale behind some
decisions in-place.
* Improved our still-primitive congestion control support for BSD-based
OSes, including OS X.
Phew, what an effort it was to ship magnetico out this time!
CHANGELOG
=========
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.
Thanks to everyone who were involved in contributing to this release!
Special thanks to @ad-m who has been nagging me day and night to make me
take informed decision, I appreciate that.
Changes are below.
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!
Previously magenticow calculated 30-days period as
literally 30 days (30 * 24 * 60 * 60 seconds) from NOW,
which was counter-intuitive for the user as it did not
correspond to whole days. Now that is fixed.
