Saturday, 16-Aug-2003 : SharpDownload Version 0.4 Released

Please try HTTP downloads - they should work OK :)

Other changes of note:

  • Code refactoring - fairly extensive
  • Trimmed down FTPClient - it now downloads, and that's about it
  • Added HTTPClient class for HTTP-specific download support
  • Added simple factory pattern - see ProtocolClient.cs for more info
  • Added a user control to show download status - it isn't pretty, but it works ;)
  • Changed source textbox to a combobox - there are two test downloads to trial (FTP and HTTP)

All source code has been put into sourceforge CVS

Thursday, 14-Aug-2003 : SharpDownload available in SourceForge CVS

I've completed uploading the source for SharpDownload to the SourceForge CVS servers. For those that are brave, feel free to download the source directly from CVS using your favorite CVS client. At present, I'm using TortoiseCVS because I quite like the Explorer interface. :)

I'm most of the way through implementing HTTP-based downloads, and have done some fairy extensive refactoring and cleaning up of the code.  I've also removed previous project references to nUnit and the Microsoft Exception Management Application Block until they are actually being used.
