Looks like tab can be NULL from the Mac client when magnet links are involved and the Mac client doesn't know how many pieces are available, so that assertion's not appropriate.
autogen.sh invokes autoreconf without checking to see if it fails (as it does if libtool can't be found). In such cases it also invokes a broken doomed version of the configure script, which generates a lot of red herring messages that distract from the real problem encountered by autoreconf.
The fix is to exit autogen.sh if its call to autoreconf fails.
When opening the "Add URL" dialog, check the clipboard selection & clipboard proper to see if either contains a URL, magnet link, or info hash code. If it has any of those things, put that in the dialog's entry field as the default action. Patch by cantabile.
According to the GTK+ documentation, this "can be an advantage in situations where resizing the label because of text changes would be distracting, e.g. in a statusbar." It doesn't seem to prevent relayout in GTK+ 2.20.1, but maybe other versions of GTK+ will make better use of the flag.
The main window called gtk_tree_model_filter_refilter() once per second to refresh the torrent list's filtering. This is not an efficient approach: gtk_tree_model_filter_refilter() emits a "row changed" event for every row, causing unnecessary re-rendering.
I've removed the call to gtk_tree_model_filter_refilter() and expanded the model to includes all the fields necessary for filtering. That way we only fire "row changed" events for rows that actually change.
By reducing the number of renders in steady state, this might ameliorate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/655024
However it will *not* help the related "CPU spikes to 100% on scrolling" ticket at https://trac.transmissionbt.com/ticket/3887 because rendering paused torrents is still exceptionally expensive in the murrine theme.
Some of the refresh events to the main window's torrent list are caused by main window relayout caused by the toolbar's GtkLabels recalculating their size after being updated once per second. To prevent relayout in some trivial cases, I'm replacing the gtk_label_set_text() calls with gtr_label_set_text() because the latter doesn't update the label widget if the old and new text strings are the same.
There are other changes that can handle more important cases -- I'll test those out next.
The PUT hack was useful back when Transmission's RPC was first written, but it doesn't scale well to any of the commands that make its RPC useful. We should deprecate its use and not advertise this feature anymore.
The exponentially-growing interval between retries had a bug that caused intervals to be too long if no successful announce had ever been made. This commit fixes the code that calculates the interval.
Using Ctrl-O for "Open File" causes a conflict with the existing Ctrl-O for "Open Folder." The HIG-compliant shortcut wins the conflict, so "Open Folder" gets a new accelerator.
The Berne Convention says that the copyright year is moot, so instead of adding another year to each file as in previous years, I've removed the year altogether from the source code comments in libtransmission, gtk, qt, utils, daemon, and cli.
Juliusz's copyright notice in tr-dht and Johannes' copyright notice in tr-lpd have been left alone; it didn't seem appropriate to modify them.
In some cases we were calling them from deep inside libtransmission, when they should have been called directly from the public-visible API functions: tr_torrentWebSpeeds_KBps(), tr_torrentPeers(), tr_torrentTrackers().
1. move responsibility for getting a thread lock back to the public API fucntion, tr_torrentAvailability().
2. if the torrent doesn't have metadata, stop after zeroing out the table
3. minor code formatting cleanup
