Torrents may now be created from standard input by passing `--input -`.
Since `--name` and `--output` cannot be deduced, they are required when
`--input -`.
type: added
Shell completion scripts can be generated for `bash`, `elvish`, `fish`,
`powershell`, and `zsh` with the `completions` subcommand:
$ imdl completions --shell zsh > imdl.zsh
The same scripts are available in the `completions` directory. Please
refer to your shell's documentation for more information on how to
install and use completion scripts.
type: added
Sort specs are of the form `KEY:ORDER`, and allow sorting files in a
torrent by multiple criteria. Multiple sort specs can be passed with
`--sort-by` upon torrent creation.
type: added
The order in which files appear in torrents can now be controlled
with the `--order` flag:
imdl torrent create --input foo --order alphabetical-asc
See `--help` documentation for possible values.
type: added
- Switch to my branch of indicatif on github
- Use binary braille spinner
- Use fine-grained progress bar
- Improve template formatting
- Use SI units for bytes/s
type: changed
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
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
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
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.
