• plugged memory leaks

2 December 2009, v1.9a

• don't try retry on live streams
• SIGPIPE portability fix
• remove "not supported" comment for RTMPE

13 November 2009, v1.9

• Handle more signals to reduce risk of unresumable/corrupted partially streamed files
• Fixed >2GB file handling
• Added --hashes option for a hash progress bar instead of byte counter
• Fix to allow win32 to use binary mode on stdout.
• Added auto-unpause for buffer-limited streams

1 November 2009, v1.7

• added --subscribe option for subscribing to a stream
• added --start / --stop options for specifying endpoints of a stream
• added --debug / --quiet / --verbose options for controlling output
• added SOCKS4 support (by Monsieur Video)

• fixed signature buffer overruns

17 May 2009, v1.6

• big endian alignment fix, should fix sparc64 and others
• moved timestamp handling into RTMP protocol innings, all packets have absolute timestamps now, when seeking the stream will start with timestamp 0 even if seeked to a later position!
• fixed a timestamp bug (should fix async audio/video problems)

30 Apr 2009, v1.5a

• fixed host name resolution bug (caused unexpected crashes if DNS resolution was not available)
• also using the hostname in tcUrl instead of the IP turns out to give much better results

27 Apr 2009, v1.5

• RTMPE support (tested on Adobe 3.0.2,3.0.3,3.5.1, Wowza)
• SWFVerification (tested on Adobe 3.0.2,3.0.3,3.5.1)
• added AMF3 parsing support (experimental feauture, only some primitives, no references)
• added -o - option which allows the stream to be dumped to stdout (debug/error messages go to stderr)
• added --live option to enable download of live streams
• added support for (Free)BSD and Mac (untested, so might need more fixing, especially for PPC/sparc64)
• fixed a bug in url parsing
• added a useful application: streams, it will start a streaming server and using a request like http://localhost/?r=rtmp://.... you can restream the content to your player over http

11 Mar 2009, v1.4

• fixed resume bug: when the server switches between audio/video packets and FLV chunk packets (why should a server want to do that? some actually do!) and rtmpdump was invoked with --resume the keyframe check prevented rtmpdump from continuing
• fixed endianness
• added win32 and arm support (you can cross-compile it onto your Windows box or even PDA)
• removed libboost dependency, written a small parser for rtmp urls, but it is more of a heuristic one since the rtmp urls can be ambigous in some circumstances. The best way is to supply all prameters using the override options like --play, --app, etc.
• fixed stream ids (from XBMC tree)

19 Jan 2009, v1.3b

• fixed segfault on Mac OS/BSDdue to times(0)
• Makefile rewritten

16 Jan 2009, v1.3a

• fixed a bug introduced in v1.3 (wrong report bytes count), downloads won't hang anymore

10 Jan 2009, v1.3

• fixed audio only streams (rtmpdump now recognizes the stream and writes a correct tag, audio, video, audio+video)
• improved resume function to wait till a the seek is executed by the server. The server might send playback data before seeking, so we ignore up to e.g. 50 frames and keep waiting for a keyframe with a timestamp of zero.
• nevertheless resuming does not always work since the server sometimes doesn't resend the keyframe, seeking in flash is unreliable

02 Jan 2009, v1.2a

• fixed non-standard rtmp urls (including characters + < > ; )
• added small script get_hulu which can download hulu.com streams (US only) (many thanks to Richard Ablewhite for the help with hulu.com)

01 Jan 2009, v1.2:

• fixed FLV streams (support for resuming extended)
• fixed hanging download at the end
• several minor bugfixes
• changed parameter behaviour: not supplied parameters are omitted from the connect packet, --auth is introduced (was automatically obtained from url before, but it is possible to have an auth in the tcurl/rtmp url only without an additional encoded string in the connect packet)

28 Dec 2008, v1.1a:

• fixed warnings, added -Wall to Makefile

28 Dec 2008, v1.1:

• fixed stucking downloads (the buffer time is set to the duration now, so the server doesn't wait till the buffer is emptied
• added a --resume option to coninue incomplete downloads
• added support for AMF_DATE (experimental, no stream to test so far)
• fixed AMF parsing and several small bugs (works on 64bit platforms now)

24 Dec 2008, v1.0:

• First release
