What is WebTorrent, LLC?
WebTorrent, LLC is the legal entity that runs the WebTorrent project.
WebTorrent is still, and always will be, non-profit, open source, free
software.
There are no plans to make a profit from WebTorrent.
In the renderer process on OS X, config.IS_PRODUCTION was always true
because process.execPath is to "Electron Helper", so the detection
regex was being overly specific.
Just some code cleanup to make menu.js more internally consistent.
- Name the electron.dialog returned value `selectedPaths` which is more
accurate.
- Move the file menu into the `template` object, like the rest of the
menus. Then reach in afterwards for OS-specific tweaks.
* packager: call callbacks consistently
Before this, the callbacks would not being called, which would lead to
an incomplete build on non-OS X platforms when trying to build all for
all platforms.
* packager: Always produce OS X update file regardless of --package option
This makes it consistent with how the windows build always produces the
.nupkg autoupdate files
* packager: fix duplicate npm install
Move "npm prune && npm dedupe" into the release script. Remove an extra
"npm install"
* Make Windows portable app
When a folder named "Portable Settings" exists in same folder as
WebTorrent.exe, then use it instead of the default application config
path.
Closes#358
* packager: remove redundant signing warning
* cross platform zip function
* Set config file path to match config.CONFIG_PATH
* portable app: make electron settings portable
* portable: fix poster/torrent paths
* use cross-zip
* portable app: default download folder inside 'Portable Settings'
* rm dist at start of build
* renderer style
* preload sound files for instant playback
The first time a sound file is played, the Audio object is cached.
5s after startup, all sound files are automatically preloaded.
* Separate hidden window, with its own renderer process, for WebTorrent
(Must be a window. You cannot run WebRTC at all in a Web Worker, and you can't
run it well in a node process like the electron main process.)
* Disabled the create-torrent-modal for now. That gives us a consistent UX
regardless of whether the user dragged files or folders onto the app or opened
the Create New Torrent menu item.
* Main process routes all messages between the main and webtorrent windows.
* The renderer index.js is smaller now (but still too big), with the WebTorrent
interface moved to webtorrent.js / it's own process.
* The UI should be faster now, and should not lag under load.
If there’s an update, this would redownload it every 6 hours until the
app is restarted. We could fix it, but let’s just simplify this:
App updates are checked for on app startup only.
If app is running in “production” (i.e. it has been packaged), then it
will be invoked with one less argument.
WebTorrent.exe arguments
vs.
electron.exe /path/to/app arguments
We need to detect this to correctly handle command line arguments.
