fixes#1191
Patch by Brian. This patch description was actually written by Zooko, but I forged Brian's name on the "author" field so that he would get credit for this patch in revision control history.
If you are investigating the bug in new-downloader, one way to investigate might be to change this ordering to a different fixed order (e.g. rotate by 4 instead of rotate by 5) and observe how the behavior of new-downloader differs in that case.
Kyle's OpenBSD buildslave used 41 reads when doing this test. The fact that I'm blindly bumping this number up to match the observed behavior probably means this isn't a good criterion to be testing for anyway. But perhaps someone else (Brian) could investigate why that run on Kyle's OpenBSD box took four more reads than we expected, and whether the fact that it took 41 reads to do this operation is indicative of an actual problem.
deliver all shares at once instead of feeding them out one-at-a-time.
Also fix distribution of real-number-of-segments information: now all
CommonShares (not just the ones used for the first segment) get a
correctly-sized hashtree. Previously, the late ones might not, which would
make them crash and get dropped (causing the download to fail if the initial
set were insufficient, perhaps because one of their servers went away).
Update tests, add some TODO notes, improve variable names and comments.
Improve logging: add logparents, set more appropriate levels.
This avoids spamming the "recent uploads and downloads" /status page from
FileNode instances that were created for a directory read but which nobody is
ever going to read from. I also cleaned up the way DownloadStatus instances
are made to only ever do it in the CiphertextFileNode, not in the
higher-level plaintext FileNode. Also fixed DownloadStatus handling of read
size, thanks to David-Sarah for the catch.
in particular, merge the various 1.8.0b1/b2 sections, and remove the
datestamp. NEWS gets updated just before a release, doesn't need to precisely
describe pre-release candidates, and the datestamp gets updated just before
the final release is tagged
Also, I removed the BOM from some files. My toolchain made it hard to retain,
and BOMs in UTF-8 don't make a whole lot of sense anyway. Sorry if that
messes anything up.
seems to avoid the #1155 log message which reveals the URI (and filecap).
Also add an [ERROR] marker to the flog entry, since unregisterProducer also
makes interrupted downloads appear "200 OK"; this makes it more obvious that
the download did not complete.
