De grafische gnutella client voor Unix
gtk-gnutella is een server/client voor Gnutella. Het draait op elke Unix-achtig systeem dat GTK+ (1.2 of beter) en libxml ondersteunt. Gnome is niet vereist. Het wordt momenteel ontwikkeld en getest onder Linux (Debian 2.2), het is bekend dat het in ieder geval draait op Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, Darwin, Solaris, Tru64 UNIX (OSF/1), SGI IRIX, BeOS. Tevens is bekend dat het werkt met de volgende CPU architecturen: x86, AMD64, PowerPC, SPARC, MIPS.
gtk-gnutella wordt uitgebracht onder de GNU General Public License (GPL).
gtk-gnutella is nog niet gereed, het is echter wel volledig functioneel; je mag delen, zoeken en downloaden. Bovendien is het stabiel, meestal laten gebruikers het voor dagen draaien zonder er naar om te kijken.
Alle ideeën en commentaar zijn welkom op de gtk-gnutella-devel maiing lijst. Bugs kunnen worden vermeld op de SourceForge.net Bug Tracker
We hebben hulp nodig in de ontwikkeling. In C, dan wel voor de documentatie.
Nieuws
9 March 2026, Version 1.3.1 Released
This is an urgent release fixing bugs.
Bug Fixes
- [GTK2] Removed "clock" icon in status bar, a left-over of the 1.3.0 edits.
- Was sometimes crashing at startup due to a bug in logfilter.
- Forgot an include of "mempcpy.h", causing compilation error on MacOs.
- Fixed compilation error on arm64.
6 March 2026, Version 1.3.0 Released
This is a maintenance release with minor bug fixes.
Improvements
- Removed expiration date: this version will now run forever.
Under the Hood
- Merged various enhancements from a side project reusing GTKG's library.
- Added experimental logfilter (see extra_files/logfilter.sample).
3 March 2024, Version 1.2.3 Released
This is a maintenance release with minor bug fixes.
Improvements
- Allow final address to be used as a search and sorting column in GUI.
- Do not hide the "random stats" shell command in the help.
- Shell "node add" now supports g2:IP:port for G2 nodes.
Bug Fixes
- Avoid assertion failure in
xmalloc()when the page size is not 4K - Fix build on NetBSD with SSP.
- Avoid conflicting symbol with NetBSD's powerpc/frame.h
- Force supervisor to quit if child gets a SIGKILL.
- Forgot to set te->ptid in discovered threads.
Under the Hood
- Add
aq_on_available()to hide waiter object. - Add debugging #define XMALLOC_DISABLED to remap
xmalloc()tomalloc(). - Add randomness every minute instead of 30 seconds.
- Dump held locks when suspending thread with locks.
- Fix
thread_lock_dump()logic. - Recent version of glib define G_NORETURN already.
- Use library
popcount()if it exists. - Use an integer for atomic_lock_t (or it fails on Darwin ppc32).
