5.1.0 discussion

[darkone]

Main focus has been on modules, optimizations & code clean-up.. however, if there is something small that you would like to see in it, post your suggestion here...

I think, that I have already mentioned on irc (efnet #ioftpd), that 5.2.0 will be focused on http admin interface. 5.3.0 should be first version to include some sort of speed limits (per device & per user) and 5.4.0 will introduce encryption threads & remove os buffering from sockets and files.

As usual, I'm not giving you any dates.. and if you dare to keep asking me about release dates, you can be sure that you get ignored permanently :rolleyes: You may, and should however, discuss about features, timelines (priorities) & such.


... ahh yes, 5.1.0 should be done by this weekend

[Mouton]

I already mentionned that, but would be good to be able to switch speed limiting checks on and off, so there would be no performance decrease if we don't want to limit bw usage.

[dasOp]

I'm begging for a flame here, but:

I'd like an option to toss .ioftpd and it's symlinks and just use NT acl's.

*asbestos suit on*

[Capone]

If possible, give us the ability to schedule turning of limits on and off for the entire sites bandwidth, upstream and downstream seperately.

Something that may also be useful is to be able to set a maximum amount of data that is allowed to be transferred through the site on a monthly basis. If the transfer gets to be near the site limit, the site warns M users, if the site gets to the limit, it does not allow transfers unless reset.. just a thought :D

[Stardog]

I guess then I'll be waiting for 5.3...io badly needs bandwidth limits...http interface is not as necessary as the bandwidth limits in my opinion.

[neoxed]

Adding an idle exception flag, so any user with "X" as a flag does not have an idle time out. (For sitebots)

Probably already metioned, just thought I would bring it up. :)

[MaistroX]

yes, allso are for BW limitation, both for for /server and /user ! :)

[uprise]

Build in site user command for users to see stats about themselves, as in glFTPD.

i agree with stardog

[Pichento]

Idle time per user / group is my biggest wish.

D1, you said it could be done easilly for b5, but I think you forgot about it.

Try doing a site user on glftpd. id really like the same options for ioftpd.

1. idle time
2. max ul & download threads

Godspeed :)

[thewarden]

BW items for me as well...all else right now are not a must.

I need to get IO "back" online...and this is what has been stopping me. (Raiden is failing files...as per normal...argh!!!!!)


1 - Global for us that have to cut main bw on in or outbound...

2 - Per user settings

This is what I am waiting for.


TW

[FTPServerTools]

And per group!! Then global for server (in + out limiting) or seperate in free and out limited etc..

[Linkster]

you should swap the 5.2 and 5.3 priorities. BW limiting is FAR more important than http interface. And i know this has been mentioned but, can "run as native nt service" get on the list soon? if 5.2 could incorporate those 2 things, i'd be "tickled pink!" :) Good luck d1!

I already said ~month ago that there won't be NT-service support until I can afford a laptop :p and that may take a while...

[jron]

I 100% agree with StarDog and the rest of the replies, bandwidth limits per user and per group should come before HTTP.

Amazing progy :P :D

You want us to donate again, don't you :D

What i need for next version:
I beg for global downloadlimit. It happens on my site, that heavy downloading causes the uploads to break off. (the ACK packets don't get through?)
I do not need a per user limit right now. But the global limits are hardly needed. ATM i tell all leechers to set a DLlimit in FlashFXP, but this is only a bloody workaround ;)

[GOD-EMPEROR]

is who's gonna give d1 a laptop :)

[bounty]

well i think the first goal of registrations was to give 10 $/euro to darkone for his laptop he wanted last year !!

today we are 293 Registered Users :

if my calcul is good darkone have today +/-2930 euro and it seems to be the price for laptops!

ofcoz you have lots of differents prices for laptops between 1500euro & 4500euro depend of what d1 wants ;)

!!! so m8s ... go go go and register fast !!!

have fun

It's not like I didn't spend money elsewhere when needed :)

[fobban]

just imagine if you had never been drinking ;p
then you would have money for ~50 laptops ;p

[darkone]

And I would be using them in a mental hospital :)

Well if it's beer you want, I make about 600,000 bottles per
8 hour day, too bad there is an ocean between us :)

[Romad]

I agree with StarDog BW should be bumped up, I hate running Raiden ahs my main server due to it having BW control. :-)

[ddeca]

When set showativty to ! for a path or something i would like to se hidden or something instead of idle...


//regards ddeca

[cpas]

Nice, i dont knwo that u love drinking :)

Its cool i can send u some nice bottle of vine from france to get a registred ioftp ? ;)

More seriously, i would like to know if Raiden compatibility is fixed in 5.1. ( Maybe its in another thread but the forum is a big one )

And i would like to see mouton, bounty ,wardog, dark .. etc to work on a big and wonderfull all-in-one-script for io ;)

[Mouton]

who's wardog ? the child of WarC and Stardog ?

Try:

[Stardog]

Netlimiter is very buggy...It won't run for more than a day on any of my systems...

[Capone]

Have'nt had a problem with netlimiter yet and i run it on many different setups/boxes.

Same here, no problems at all.

[Zer0Racer]

Okay. Bumping this thread a little. It seems darkone is satisfied with how beta 5.1.x performs and there is like only one bug left that has to be fixed.

Maybe darkone would care to give us an update on nextcoming versions (again) and some sort of summary for the development of 5.1.x? :)

[darkone]

I have now developer working on the http-interface... he'll do everything from scratch - which may take a while, but outcome will be something really cool :o due this reason, I've decided to switch priority orders with speed-limits & www developement. However, I will not do any core changes before 5.1.x has proved to be stable on every system. (afak, there's only one issue left.. :p which will be adressed this weekend)

[Zer0Racer]

Thank you :)

[darkone]

For those of who have been in the black out (don't have access to member section :)), I can tell that there have been great many improvements over beta4... listing all of them would be rather pointless, but main focus has been performance, scalability and stability.

For example last release improved harddrive performance by ~15-50% under heavy loads. Few releases back, socket managment was made 100% thread-safe. Internal job scheduler was updated to accept priorities, which makes site to react even faster to commands. Module support got implement in 5.1.0 (still haven't had time to document it yet... it provides some really cool stuff for those writing scripts) Also there has been updates in way ioFTPD caches data, such as userfiles, groupfiles, mount tables etc. Things are far more optimized than what they were in beta4 :) There's no question, wheter it's better than b4...
