New in BitCannon 0.1.0 Alpha (Jan 26, 2015)

  • Added tracker scraping functions - click refresh on any torrent to get seed/leech counts
  • Browse page load much faster
  • You may select a specific category to search instead of searching everything
  • Added support for importing from the isohunt openbay-db-dump

  • The download magnet links now have the config file's trackers attached for faster download
  • Torrent search page shows a lot more information like normal torrent sites
  • Fixed bugs:

  • Angular api requests use a relative url now - you can host bitcannon in a subdirectory using apache reverse proxy
  • Removed unnecessary meta fields from the database

New in BitCannon 0.0.5 Alpha (Jan 19, 2015)

  • NEW IN THIS RELEASE:
  • No more unzipping: You may now import .txt.gz files from Demonoid and KAT directly
  • BitCannon will unzip them on the fly as it imports. Of course, importing the unzipped .txt files also works as it did before.
  • Better console messages: More descriptive errors and status text in the console. The errors now apologize to you for appearing.
  • Hands free importing: When you launch BitCannon, it now checks the config.json file for URLs, then it loads the specified archives straight into the database. KAT and Demonoid 24 hour archives are already configured for you - just start BitCannon!
  • UX Improvements: BitCannon no longer disappears when it exits. The window stays open for you to see any errors it encountered.
  • More robust importing: BitCannon now uses more thorough checks to ensure corrupted or incorrect file contents don't get accidentally imported to the database.
