Hello,
I just released a new version of jigdo. The most important news:
- This is the first release of _binaries_ for the GTK+ jigdo GUI.
This graphical version of jigdo is fully functional WRT the download
of *single* files via FTP/HTTP. It does *not* yet support
the processing of .jigdo files. Still, now's the time to try it out
and give me feedback about things which you'd still like to be
changed!
- jigdo-file now features a --match-exec switch, which can be used to
specify a command to execute whenever a file matches during
"jigdo-file make-template". This makes it much easier to create a
fallback mirror - I'll probably come up with a patch for debian-cd
which makes use of the feature.
The complete list of changes:
- GUI: Code for guessing the user's proxy settings. On Unix, reads
the configuration files of various browsers. On Windows, reads the
MSIE registry entries.
- GUI: Single downloads (e.g. of .iso files) work, can be paused and
continued, stopped and resumed.
- GUI: Work on processing of .jigdo files is begun, but far from
completed
- Changed heuristics for "jigdo-file make-template". As with all
heuristics, may actually turn out to be worse than before for some
cases. However, with experiments of mine with i386 Debian DVD
images, it resulted in a significant size reduction of the
template.
- Fix for bug in "make-template" which caused invalid template files
to be generated sometimes. Funny how these make-template bugs keep
popping up, I've already fixed about 5 of them! :-7
- jigdo-lite: Fix for problem with the "read" builtin with some
shells, e.g. dash
- Fixed build problem on newer GCC 3.2
- Source code now exceeds 20000 lines of code in almost 100 files.

A link to the binary for the GTK+ GUI is hidden in the "Development"
section of the jigdo homepage, but I've also uploaded it to Debian
unstable.
Apt-able i386 .debs (no sources) are at:
