v3.0.0
here is a few changes to the public API, but most people shouldn't be affected by this unless they have extended/overriden functionality.
Basic usage should not see any or only minor changes compared to v2.3.0.
Implemented async support for parsing/encoding.
Added build targets for .NET Core 2.1 and .NET Core 3.0 to take advantage of performance improvements
in Stream and Encoding APIs for .NET Core 2.1 or later.
Rewrite of internal parsing for better performance, taking advantage of new Span<T>/Memory<T>
types - faster parsing and less memory allocation.
Removed support for .NET Framework 4.5 and .NET Standard 1.3.
Lowest supported versions are now .NET Framework 4.6.1 (4.7.2 highly recommended) and .NET Standard 2.0.
Added
- Implemented parsing/encoding using
PipeReader/PipeWriter - Added
BencodeReaderas replacement forBencodeStream - Added
IBObject.GetSizeInBytes()method, returning the size of the object in number of bytes.
Changed
- Improved parsing/encoding performance
- Reduced memory allocation on parsing/encoding
- Made
BString,BNumber,BListandBDictionaryclassessealed - Made parse methods of
BencodeParservirtual so it can be overriden if needed by anyone - Constructor
BString(IEnumerable<byte> bytes, Encoding encoding = null)changed toBString(byte[] bytes, Encoding encoding = null) - Exposed value type of
BStringchanged fromIReadOnlyList<byte>(byte[]internally) toReadOnlyMemory<byte> - Removed parse method overloads on
IBencodeParserand added matching extension methods instead - Removed encode method overloads on
IBObjectand added matching extension methods instead - Torrent parse mode now default to
TorrentParserMode.Tolerantinstead ofTorrentParserMode.Strict - Torrent related classes moved to
BencodeNET.Torrentsnamespace
Removed
- Removed
BencodeStreamand replaced withBencodeReader - Dropped .NET Standard 1.3 support; .NET Standard 2.0 is now lowest supported version
- Dropped .NET Framework 4.5 support; .NET Framework 4.6.1 is now lowest supported version (but 4.7.2 is highly recommended)
- Removed most constructors on
BencodeParserleaving onlyBencodeParser(Encoding encoding = null)and
addedBencodeParser.Encodingproperty to enable changing encoding. Parsers can still be added/replaced/removed
throughBencodeParser.Parsersproperty.
Fixed
- Parsing from non-seekable
Streams is now possible - Fixed issue parsing torrent files with non-standard 'announce-list' (#39)
