31. May 04 - Released
StandAloneAptGot v0.8pre4
Added basic refreshing mechanisms and a brute force purger.
The refreshing mechanism starts every 24 hours or if you state
/trigger/new_package_lists after your module URL (eg http://localhost/debian/trigger/new_package_lists).
The FileCache supports object reusage now and does not cloud
the memory anymore. OutOfMemoryException should not occure
anymore as the FileCache uses WeakReferences now to keep the
objects alive.
Started the hard business of documenting.
pre4 is scheduled to be the last prerelease before hitting
0.8.
25. May 04 - Released StandAloneAptGot v0.8pre3
Changes since 0.8pre1:
FileCache has basic support of object caching now.
DebianMirrorFile recovers from manual deleting the cached
file.
DebianMirrorFile sets the internal LastModified and Length
values correctly even if the file was already downloaded.
PENDING FileLists are verified correctly now. That means especially
that they are set to verified (if applicable) and therefore
the DebianMirror starts to load the new found info.
A gzip Wrapper is used if gzipped package lists are available.
That reduces the used bandwidth and the startup time.
In addition some major bugs in pre1 are fixed. For example
under some circumstances new Release files where not fetched
from the remote server.
18. May 04 - Released StandAloneAptGot v0.8pre1
Today I released the first preview of version 0.8. Please
keep in mind that it is a preview and should be treated as
alpha software. It is not fully tested and still lacks some
important features. Now Release files in the Debian repository
are found and parsed for md5sum infos for the various Package
list. The information is used to verify the Package lists.
Right now this is only done when the mirror engine is started
for the first time. So you have to restart the whole StandAloneAptGot
every time there are new Package lists on the remote server.
This is one of the important changes that have to be made
in order to release version 0.8. One random fact: There are
2000 more lines of code in v0.8pre1 than in v0.7.2. Yeah -
I've been busy. ;o)
25. Apr 2004 - Released StandAloneAptGot v0.7
Now apt-got features a non-blocking downloading system. Every
byte that is recieved from the remote server is send to the
clients instantaniously. No more waiting around until the
file is completely mirrored.
Additionally there are some minor bugfixes included in this
release. Get
it at sourceforge.
15. Apr 2004 - Feedback? Wow!
The wonderful feedback I got on just one day forced me to
update the online documentation of apt-got. It was just amazing.
Well, I will double my efforts to implement your features
requests and answer the support requests. I hope that the
reviewed online documentation will help you out.
13. Apr 2004 - Sourceforge.net
Project gets registered with sourceforge.net.

Tobi continues to develop the project as CS189b senior programming
project.
14. Jan 2004 14:00 - Project starts
Well, now it is written in stone. Our CS50 project at UCSB
is called apt-got.
