PAR2 client update -- Change - - Standard buffer size becomes double to decrease iteration. - - Single byte error in a single slice file may be corrected. - - Number of using threads was changed on CPU with 6 or more Cores. - - Enabling GPU won't use additional threads on multi-core CPU. - - Progress percent may move while writing blocks. - -- Improvement - - L3 cache optimization was implemented for multi-core CPU. +- Bug fix + - Possible stack overflow at searching missing files was fixed.
