v0.1.12.0

Improvements

• Download operation menu options now auto-filter based on download selections.
  • So, e.g., the first option for a paused download will be resume rather than pause
• Created a unified "Remove download" menu option which checks the download status and applies sends the appropriate remove operation to aria2c
• "Retry Download" now ensures that all aria2c download options from target download are preserved in the newly added download.
• Improve descriptions and ordering of entries in the help page
• Created a pytest testing environment for Aria2TUI; still need to add tests but will make it a lot easier to implement fixes once crucial tests have been added.

Bug Fixes

• Fix filename changes not being applied in some cases
• Disable listpick data modification checks for "change options" menu and also for "change torrent filenames" menu.
• Disable listpick keys that should not be available in aria2tui
  • Add col/row keys
  • left_pane keys (toggle and cycle)
  • paste data key
• Inherited from listpick
  • Fixed crash when we drop to iPython
  • Fix logger creation
  • The cursor position will auto-correct when we are not on a valid row--e.g., when we delete the last download and now there are n-1 downloads, the cursor will move to n-1.

Update to get new features: python -m pip install --upgrade aria2tui

Summary of major changes from 0.1.9.0 to 0.1.11.1:

Features

• Added right pane with different views:
  • View 1: Download task's files, size, and progress
  • View 2: Speed graph
  • View 3: Progress graph
  • View 4: Download piece progress
  • Press ' to open the right pane, " to cycle through pane views.
• Added file picker option to main menu for adding local torrent files
• Management of multifile torrents has been improved:
  • Files can be skipped
  • Filenames can be edited
  • As far as I know this is not possible in the Aria2c web clients.
• Added --add_download and --add_download_bg flags so that aria2tui can be used as a system magnet link-handler but also to allow downloads to be easily added from a shell/shellscript.

Improvements

• Ensured that the display messages are consistent when adding URIs and/or torrents. Previously when URIs were addded it would return the list of GIDs; this has been replaced with a proper message showing how many were added.
