We were already doing this for bootstrap.properties-based launches, but there's no reason to restrict it to that. If you run Getdown with an appbase and an appdir, it can create the app dir and download the app into it. This enables scenarios where getdown is installed to a shared location and users that run the app install it in their private storage area (or on a machine local file system, or who knows). Closes #163.

# Getdown Releases
|
|
|
|
## 1.8.1 - Unreleased
|
|
|
|
* If both an `appbase` and `appdir` are provided via some means (bootstrap properties file, system
|
|
property, etc.) and the app dir does not yet exist, Getdown will create it.
|
|
|
|
* Added `max_concurrent_downloads` setting to `getdown.txt`. Controls what you would expect.
|
|
Defaults to two.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with `appid` not being properly used when specified via command line arg.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with running Getdown on single CPU systems (or virtual systems). It was attempting to
|
|
create a thread pool of size zero, which failed.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with backslashes (or other regular expression escape characters) in environment
|
|
variables being substituted into app arguments.
|
|
|
|
## 1.8.0 - Oct 19, 2018
|
|
|
|
* Added support for manually specifying the thread pool size via `-Dthread_pool_size`. Also reduced
|
|
the default thread pool size to `num_cpus-1` from `num_cpus`.
|
|
|
|
* Added support for bundling a `bootstrap.properties` file with the Getdown jar file, which can
|
|
specify defaults for `appdir`, `appbase` and `appid`.
|
|
|
|
* Added support for a host URL whitelist. Getdown can be custom built to refuse to operate with any
|
|
URL that does not match the built-time-specified whitelist. See `core/pom.xml` for details.
|
|
|
|
* Removed the obsolete support for running Getdown in a signed applet. Applets are no longer
|
|
supported by any widely used browser.
|
|
|
|
* Split the project into multiple Maven modules. See the notes on [migrating from 1.7 to 1.8] for
|
|
details.
|
|
|
|
* A wide variety of small cleanups resulting from a security review generously performed by a
|
|
prospective user. This includes various uses of deterministic locales and encodings instead of
|
|
the platform default locale/encoding, in cases where platform/locale-specific behavior is not
|
|
desired or needed.
|
|
|
|
* Made use of `appid` fall back to main app class if no `appid`-specific class is specified.
|
|
|
|
* Added support for marking resources as executable (via `xresource`).
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue where entire tracking URL was being URL encoded.
|
|
|
|
* Changed translations to avoid the use of the term 'game'. Use 'app' instead.
|
|
|
|
## 1.7.1 - Jun 6, 2018
|
|
|
|
* Made it possible to use `appbase_domain` with `https` URLs.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with undecorated splash window being unclosable if failures happen early in
|
|
initialization process. (#57)
|
|
|
|
* Added support for transparent splash window. (#92)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed problem with unpacked code resources (`ucode`) and `pack.gz` files. (#95)
|
|
|
|
* Changed default Java version regex to support new Java 9+ version formats. (#93)
|
|
|
|
* Ensure correct signature algorithm is used for each version of digest files. (#91)
|
|
|
|
* Use more robust delete in all cases where Getdown needs to delete files. This should fix issues
|
|
with lingering files on Windows (where sometimes delete fails spuriously).
|
|
|
|
## 1.7.0 - Dec 12, 2017
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with `Digester` thread pool not being shutdown. (#89)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed resource unpacking, which was broken by earlier change introducing resource installation
|
|
(downloading to `_new` files and then renaming into place). (#88)
|
|
|
|
* The connect and read timeouts specified by system properties are now used for all the various
|
|
connections made by Getdown.
|
|
|
|
* Proxy detection now uses a 5 second connect/read timeout, to avoid stalling for a long time in
|
|
certain problematic network conditions.
|
|
|
|
* Getdown is now built against JDK 1.7 and requires JDK 1.7 (or newer) to run. Use the latest
|
|
Getdown 1.6.x release if you need to support Java 1.6.
|
|
|
|
## 1.6.4 - Sep 17, 2017
|
|
|
|
* `digest.txt` (and `digest2.txt`) computation now uses parallel jobs. Each resource to be verified
|
|
is a single job and the jobs are doled out to a thread pool with #CPUs threads. This allows large
|
|
builds to proceed faster as most dev machines have more than one core.
|
|
|
|
* Resource verification is now performed in parallel (similar to the `digest.txt` computation, each
|
|
resource is a job farmed out to a thread pool). For large installations on multi-core machines,
|
|
this speeds up the verification phase of an installation or update.
|
|
|
|
* Socket reads now have a 30 second default timeout. This can be changed by passing
|
|
`-Dread_timeout=N` (where N is seconds) to the JVM running Getdown.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with failing to install a downloaded and validated `_new` file.
|
|
|
|
* Added support for "strict comments". In this mode, Getdown only treats `#` as starting a comment
|
|
if it appears in column zero. This allows `#` to occur on the right hand side of configuration
|
|
values (like in file names). To enable, put `strict_comments = true` in your `getdown.txt` file.
|
|
|
|
## 1.6.3 - Apr 23, 2017
|
|
|
|
* Fixed error parsing `cache_retention_days`. (#82)
|
|
|
|
* Fixed error with new code cache. (9e23a426)
|
|
|
|
## 1.6.2 - Feb 12, 2017
|
|
|
|
* Fixed issue with installing local JVM, caused by new resource installation process. (#78)
|
|
|
|
* Local JVM now uses absolute path to avoid issues with cwd.
|
|
|
|
* Added `override_appbase` system property. This enables a Getdown app that normally talks to some
|
|
download server to be installed in such a way that it instead talks to some other download
|
|
server.
|
|
|
|
## 1.6.1 - Feb 12, 2017
|
|
|
|
* Fix issues with URL path encoding when downloading resources. (84af080b0)
|
|
|
|
* Parsing `digest.txt` changed to allow `=` to appear in the filename. In `getdown.txt` we split on
|
|
the first `=` because `=` never appears in a key but may appear in a value. But in `digest.txt`
|
|
the format is `filename = hash` and `=` never appears in the hash but may appear in the filename,
|
|
so there we want to split on the _last_ `=` not the first.
|
|
|
|
* Fixed bug with progress tracking and reporting. (256e0933)
|
|
|
|
* Fix executable permissions on `jspawnhelper`. (#74)
|
|
|
|
## 1.6 - Nov 5, 2016
|
|
|
|
* This release and all those before it are considered ancient history. Check the commit history for
|
|
more details on what was in each of these releases.
|
|
|
|
## 1.0 - Sep 21, 2010
|
|
|
|
* The first Maven release of Getdown.
|
|
|
|
## 0.1 - July 19, 2004
|
|
|
|
* The first production use of Getdown (on https://www.puzzlepirates.com which is miraculously still
|
|
operational as of 2018 when this changelog was created).
