tuesday the twentyfifth november in the year twothousandtwo Sorry for the late release of 0.5.5. There was a protocol change and this release should have happened sooner. wednesday the thirtieth october in the year twothousandtwo We're moving the apt repository to weinholt's server now. It will hopefully be a bit faster than sourceforge. We're also going to make .debs for Debian stable available in the apt repository. The new sources.list lines are as follows: deb http://fnord.csbnet.se/giftcurs unstable main deb-src http://fnord.csbnet.se/giftcurs unstable main Replace unstable with stable if you have Debian stable. Please report any problems. saturday the twentysixth october in the year twothousandtwo And the quick release of 0.5.4. Turns out the formats for the search results were broken. This release also fixes a small bug with transfers showing up wrong when giFT dies. friday the twentyfifth october in the year twothousandtwo Yet another release, 0.5.3. This release has support for user defined formatting for the search results and transfers. See giFTcurs.conf(5) for more information. monday the twentythird september in the year twothousandtwo We have started the big move over to user-defineable formats. This means that the files on cvs may be a bit unstable. This also means the memory footprint will be slightly larger. But when it's finished it will be sweet, I promise! The preliminary specification is in the beginning of format.c, your comments and suggestions are highly welcome before we decide on the syntax. monday the twentythird september in the year twothousandtwo 0.5.2 is out, you know the drill. This release fixes a nasty bug, which would result in odd behaviour when searching. And the interface protocol changed again... this time transfers were affected. thursday the twelfth september in the year twothousandtwo And now, finally, 0.5.1 has been released. Some highlights are that downloads are displayed properly, transfers are sorted and some basic meta data support is in. It may be a bit ugly, so don't get too used to it. sunday the twentyfifth august in the year twothousandtwo Version 0.5.0 is released, the reason for the version increase is the new interface protocol that clients use to talk to the daemon. No new features, besides a number of small improvements of course. All users may want to upgrade, as 0.4 series doesn't work any more. Still lacking some translations, but they will come in next release. tuesday the sixth august in the year twothousandtwo I (weinholt) am moving and I probably won't have Internet access for about two weeks. This means that jasta will have implemented the new protocol before I'm back. I am therefore releasing a snapshot. Here. Hopefully saturn will have gotten back before jasta merges the development branch though. If he has, he will release giFTcurs 0.5.0. If you want to know more about the new interface protocol, here is the place to go. tuesday the sixth august in the year twothousandtwo (Note: this is only relevant to the CVS version.) Debian unstable recently upgraded to gettext 0.11.4. This version introduces an anti-non-interactive script hack. I've committed an anti-anti-non-interactive script hack hack. There also seems to be a missing macro in this version of gettext. I have reported this issue to the Debian BTS. wednesday the twenty-ninth july in the year twothousandtwo giFT is getting a new interface protocol. I'm checking in incompatible changes to the giFTcurs CVS. If you want to try the new protocol you also need a copy of giFT that supports it. cvs -z3 up -d -r dev-0_10_0-interface2-branch will move your working copy [of giFT] over to the right branch. cvs -z3 up -d -A will take it back to the main trunk. [If you instead want your copy of giFTcurs to work with giFT CVS, cvs update -Pd -r Release-0_4_3. Later when giFT has changed to the new protocol, you may do this in your giFTcurs directory to get the latest: cvs -z3 up -d -A] tuesday the sixteenth july in the year twothousandtwo giFTcurs CVS now works with gettext 0.11.x. Thank you malverian. (You might have to remove aclocal.m4 before you run autogen.sh.) sunday the seventh july in the year twothousandtwo New in 0.4.3 is the button bar. To disable it, stick a 'set buttonbar 0' in ~/.giFT/ui/giFTcurs.conf. Also the 'X' key in the transfer screen was changed to 'T'. Mostly because people complained that they accidentally cancelled transfers. Like this will stop them :) monday the first july in the year twothousandtwo Our cvs repository is currently unavailable due to a crashed cvs session. A support request has been sent to the sourceforge team to remove the lock files. Sorry for this. wednesday the twentysixth june in the year twothousandtwo The hardest part about releasing software is to come up with what to say in the announcements. Anyway, giFTcurs 0.4.2 is released. It has more sorting thingees and is much prettier. There's also a new feature that allows you to pause/unpause downloads, just press 'p' on it. giFT will automagically pause downloads if you've run out of disk space. tuesday the eighteenth june in the year twothousandtwo We're not going to use glib in a while. It's rather pointless right now to rewrite lots of stuff, since giFTcurs is pretty stable. We're about to release giFTcurs 0.4.2, but we're waiting for updated translations to come in. tuesday the twentyfirst may in the year twothousandtwo We're thinking about using glib 2.0 in giFTcurs. Of course this means extra dependencies, but the code size will be much smaller, by using the routines from glib. If you have comments or suggestions, please discuss them with us in the forum. We will still have a branch for the non-glib version, but it will only be updated when there are protocol changes and such. According to 'SLOCCount' by David A. Wheeler, this program has cost $ 170,973 to develop. :) monday the twentieth may in the year twothousandtwo 0.4.1 is out. This release includes a fix for a PowerPC-specific (we believe) segfault. There is also a new feature, the ability to log the hashes of started downloads to a file. This allows the user to run something like 'md5sum -c .md5sum' in the completed directory to verify downloads. Although this isn't very usefull yet since there are giFT daemons out there that still hash only the first 300K of files. See giFTcurs.conf(5) for information about activating this feature. saturday the eighteenth may in the year twothousandtwo Today we released 0.4.0. A big change is that search results and transfers can be expanded, with a tree like view. Just press 'e' over a search result or a transfer. The default transfer reporting style was also changed to a style which jasta suggested. The original is still there, read giFTcurs.conf(5). wednesday the twentyfourth april in the year twothousandtwo This is just a reminder for you to upgrade giFT to the latest CVS. We estimate that about 200 users (a significant amount) haven't upgraded to the latest protocol yet. It's important that you upgrade or it will be difficult to work on scalability issues and the quality of the network will degrade. There will be no more reminders. tuesday the twentythird april in the year twothousandtwo And then there was 0.3.4. Mostly because of a protocol change. There's support for multiple searches now, just hit up/down in the query field. Also there's gpm support and the code for saving settings was very much improved. thursday the eighteenth april in the year twothousandtwo Today we relased 0.3.3. This release features an improved settings screen, proper mouse support (also the mouse wheel works with some terminals), searching among results (press '/'). There are as always other changes as well. sunday the fourteenth april in the year twothousandtwo Nisse send us a new page layout, as you might have noticed. Looks alot like the old one, just nicer. Lots of stuff has been implemented lately, be sure to use the cvs if you want the cutting edge. friday the twenty-nineth march in the year twothousandtwo Both developers are away during this easter thingie. Weinholt will be back somewhere around the 4th of april. monday the twenty-fifth march in the year twothousandtwo If you're wondering about the apparent decrease in users on OpenFT, it's because there was a change in the protocol and the network is currenly split. Please update giFT to the latest CVS, as I hope you do regularly anyway. wednesday the twentieth march in the year twothousandtwo Today we released 0.3.2. The major advantage over 0.3.1 is that downloading works with the CVS version of giFT :) thursday the fourteenth march in the year twothousandtwo We released giFTcurs 0.3.1 today. wednesday the twentyseventh february in the year twothousandtwo giFTcurs 0.3.0 released! New features include upload monitoring, search filtering, history, customizable colors and of course it follows the new daemon interface protocol. wednesday the twentieth february in the year twothousandtwo giFT's client-daemon protocol began to stabilize and you can expect a new release in near future. Just committed a huge bunch of things, although most of them not visible. In sweden we celebrate this palindrom-day by loosing against Belarus, and is therefore out from Olympic Games in hockey. Sad but real. sunday the tenth february in the year twothousandtwo Yesterday weinholt decided to write a proof-of-concept client. It's called giFTcmd and you'll find it here. Usage is like "giFTsearch query | giFTchoose | giFTdownload". It's 200% bugs and you don't want to use it. If you want something fixed you'll have to fix it yourself. thursday the thirtyfirst january in the year twothousandtwo giFT changed protocol again as foreseen below. Specify -D 2002-01-30 to cvs to get the latest version for the previous protocol. We are working on adopting the new (better) interface. Much improvements have been made, especially on the socket side. thursday the seventeenth january in the year twothousandtwo We released 0.2.1 today. Mostly bug fixes and interface improvements. giFT pretty much sucks right now though, so you will probably not be able to use it for anything but searching. thursday the twentieth december in the year twothousandone We put up an apt-source today for all you Debian users: deb http://giftcurs.sourceforge.net/debian unstable main It also has sources so deb-src should work. wednesday the nineteenth december in the year twothousandone Version 0.2.0 of giFTcurs released. The giFT interface seems to fairy stable now and will hopefully last some weeks until it changes again. Remember this uses the OpenFT network, which has far less shares than the closed-source FT network (at least for the moment). Localization is now proven to work because weinholt made a translation to Swedish. saturday the eighth december in the year twothousandone The CVS-version of giFTcurs can now download through giFT and show the status of downloads in the transfer screen. sunday the twentyfifth november in the year twothousandone Now we have a new (and better) design here. Thanks to Nisse for that one. saturday the twentyfourth november in the year twothousandone We decided to drop support for giFT 0.9.7, and instead target on the new giFT daemon (with OpenFT support) which has a different interface structure. This new giFTcurs will probably be given version 0.2.x. friday the twentythird november in the year twothousandone Forgot to put a notice here, but we released giFTcurs 0.1.0 a little while ago. Download it here. monday the nineteenth november in the year twothousandone When the FastTrack protocol got changed, giFT became unable to connect to the network. Development will be slow until the giFT project has fixed this situation (or OpenFT is ready.) Back to the main page.
