Niagara

I’m pleased to announce the 0.0.5 release of Niagara.

This is the first release with a functioning Cocoa client. The interface and feature-set are spartan, however with the hard work of integrating the library into an interactive threaded client is over, and now refinement and enhancement of the feature set can begin. Check Roadmap.rtf for an overview of where Niagara is going.

The Cocoa client requires Mac OS X 10.4, and is a Universal Binary supporting both the PowerPC and Intel architectures. The commandline client and static library supports any recent BSD/Linux with OpenSSL.

Known issues

• The Cocoa client is hard-coded to listen on port 6881, as I have not yet implemented a preference system. This is the first development priority following 0.0.5, and I will likely release 0.0.6 with this implemented very shortly. FIXED IN SVN
• The Add Torrent dialog experiences visual corruption when checking partial downloads. This dialog will likely be integrated into the main window in the next release.
• Completion data is only read at restart if the torrent was active when the client exited, and is not yet crash-resistant. - FIXED IN SVN
