Robert Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 BT client Azureus 3.0.2.0 brings the version numbering back into line and should reduce confusion over which 2.x version maps to which 3.x version. Existing 2.x users will get the classic UI, while new and existing 3.x users will get the Vuze client UI, with the option to switch back to the 2.x UI if you choose. 1. What's new in Azureus 3.0.2.0 What's New for the Classic UI (Advanced View) and Azureus Core since 2.5.0.4 1.1 Torrent Menu * There is now a Torrent Menu on the main menu bar that contains the right click menu of My Torrents. 1.2 Piece Distribution Sub-view * Pieces tab now contains a Piece Distribution Sub-view 1.3 Speed Selector Slider * There is now a slider when changing the upload or download speed via right click on the status bar. Features include: - Ability to click down, drag to the correct speed, and then release the mouse button for immediate changes - Direct speed entry via keyboard - Up/down arrows to adjust the speed by 1 - Page Up/Page Down to adjust speed by 10 - Control Page Up/Control Page Down to adjust speed by 100 - Ability to add a preconfigured list of speeds 1.4 IP Filter Autoloading * You can now specify a IP Filter file or URL to load at start-up. Supports DAT (eMule), P2P (PeerGuardian, splist), and P2B v1,2,3 (Peer Guardian 2) formats. 1.5 Piece Map Sub-view * Pieces tab now contains a piece map, which gives an overall view of the piece distribution amongst the clients you are connected to, which pieces you are downloading (big down arrow), pieces you are planning to download (small down arrow), pieces you are uploading (big up arrow), and pieces you are going to upload next (small up arrow). Rarest pieces are marked with a solid border. Next rarest pieces are marked with a dotted border. 1.6 Speed Tester Wizard * Find out what Azureus thinks your maximum upload and download speeds are. 1.7 New Auto-Speed Algorithm * We've developed a new auto-speed algorithm that should be more accurate in setting your limits, and more giving while you are browsing the web. To enable this, change the Auto Speed algorithm in Options->Transfer->Auto-Speed to "Auto-speed(beta)". Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. 1.8 More control * Per-peer and per-category upload/download speed limits * Per-torrent super seeding mode * More options to clear remembered settings 1.9 More information * Download status, distributed copies and completed piece count to the General torrent view * Date Completion column added to My Torrents view * Added a Transfer Bar (similar to Download Bar) 1.10 Memory usage optimizations * Memory optimizations were made related to single file downloads and queued torrents 1.11 Other Notables * Better handling when system suspends/resumes[Windows] * At least 30 more clients are identifiable, as well as some common "fake" clients. Identification of existing clients have also been improved. * Peer messages to inform of bad pieces * IPv6 Support in DHT, version server, and tracker * New unix startup script to handle different java installation locations, GRE/Xulrunner searching, restarts, and plugin updates. * Better handling of updates when using Vista and it's lovely security system. * Fixed 100% CPU problem in network code under some conditions AZUREUS CHANGELOG----------------- 2007.08.16 | Azureus 3.0.2.0 FEATURE: Core | Act on suspend/resume events on Windows [Parg]FEATURE: Core | Added new AZ message to inform of bad pieces [Parg]FEATURE: Core | Added new stacked HAVE message to reduce peer-peer overhead [Parg]FEATURE: Core | IPv6 support - dht, version server, tracker and improved transport [Parg]FEATURE: UI | New "Torrent" menu in the menu bar [amc1]FEATURE: UI | New "Piece Distribution" subview in the pieces tab [The 8472]FEATURE: UI | Auto-speed ping views in Tools->Statistics->Transfers when Auto Speed is enabled [Parg]FEATURE: UI | "Clear Resume Data" menu option added [amc1]FEATURE: UI | "Clear remembered save paths" option added (for the Open Torrent dialog) [amc1] CHANGE: Core | Optimise memory usage for single-file downloads [Parg]CHANGE: Core | Optimise memory usage for queued torrents (no need to keep resume data in memory) [Parg]CHANGE: Core | Much better peer ID identification code added, many more clients now correctly identified [amc1]CHANGE: Core | Changes made to identify some "fake" clients (or other clients which identify themselves in a problematic way) [amc1]CHANGE: Core | Biased optimistic disconnect slightly against leechy peers [The 8472]CHANGE: Core | Core changes in some places to allow "Default save path" to be used without requiring "Use default data dir" to be enabled [hasturkun]CHANGE: Core | Reduce CPU usage when many (queued) torrents are present and in the the pieces view [The 8472]CHANGE: Core | *nix: New startup script to detect Gecko/XULRunner and to allow better restarting [TuxPaper]CHANGE: UI | UL/DL speed selection on right click of status bar changed from menu to scale widget.
