The --dht-node flag can be used to add DHT bootstrap nodes to new torrents.
This is the only piece of metainfo-related functionality in BEP 5, so we can mark BEP
5 as implemented.
type: added
Adds the command `imdl` torrent verify` to verify the contents of torrents.
This implementation is extremely naive. It does successfully verify torrents,
but it will produce unsatisfying results when a torrent fails verification. In
particular, it won't give any information about which pieces in a file were
corrupt.
type: added
Display the contents of torrents as tree of files when showing torrents
with `imdl torrent show` and after `imdl torrent create`.
The formatting and structure of the code was lifted entirely from torf.
type: added
To include only files that match a glob, pass `--glob GLOB`. To exclude
files that match a glob, pass `--glob GLOB`. Multiple globs may be
passed, with later globs taking precedence over earlier ones.
type: added
By default, skip the following when creating a torrent:
- Junk files, like `Thumbs.db`
- Files and directories that begin with a `.`
- Files and directories that have the OS or Windows hidden attribute set
- Symlinks
These can be overridden with, respectively:
- `--include-junk`
- `--include-hidden`
- `--include-hidden`
- `--follow-symlinks`
type: changed
When no piece length is provided to imdl torrent create, a piece
length is selected based on the size of the input. The hueristic is
lifted directly from libtorrent.
Also adds a imdl torrent piece-length command, which prints a table
of the piece lengths chosen at different content sizes, which is useful
for understanding and debugging the piece length selection algorithm.
type: added
Support adding a `source` key under the `info` dictionary. The `source`
key is commonly used to create distinct torrents for different trackers.
type: added
The `imdl torrent show` command displays information about on-disk
torrent files. The formatting of the command's output is copied from
torf, an excellent command-line torrent creator, editor, and viewer.
type: added
- Must be greater than zero
- Must be a power of two (but can override with `--allow uneven-piece-length`
- Must be greater than 16KiB (but can override with `--allow small-piece-length`
- Must be less than u32 max
type: changed
Colored output can be controlled on the command line with
`--use-color auto|always|never`. The default is `auto`, which enables
color if `imdl` detects that it is printing to a terminal.
Color can be disabled entirely by setting the `NO_COLOR` environment
variable.
