Explicit or implicit calls to begin() and end() cause a non-const
container to detach from shared data, ie. to perform a deep-copy to gain
a unique copy of the data.
That can be a expensive although unneeded operation.
In order to assist the developer a copyAsConst function is added.
copyAsConst returns a const copy of the object.
For lvalues just use qAsConst. It's only available on Qt 5.7.0. But we
added also for earlier versions. The developer can always use qAsConst.
Intended uses:
QString s = ...;
for (const auto &ch : qAsConst(s))
process(ch);
for (const auto &ch : copyAsConst(funcReturningQString()))
process(ch);
Normalize Web API method names.
Allow to use alternative Web UI.
Switch Web API version to standard form (i.e. "2.0").
Improve Web UI translation code.
Retranslate changed files.
Add Web API for RSS subsystem.
Make the computation iterative instead of recurisve to avoid stack overflow.
Enlarge read size to enable better performance.
Remove `QFile::close()` calls, QFile automatically close them in dtor.
It may be useful to have different configurations either for portable
versions or for debugging purposes. To implement this we add two
options, avaliable via command line switches
1. An option to change configuration name ("--configuration"). The name
supplied via this option is appended to
QCoreApplication::applicationName() to form "qBittorrent_<conf_name>"
name for the configuration files.
2. An option to provide a path do directory where all the settings are
stored (kind of profile directory). There is a shortcut "--portable"
which means "use directory 'profile' near the executable location".
In order to implement that we have to perform initialisation of the
profile directories before the SettingStorage and Preferences singletones
are initialised. Thus, options parsing shall be performed without defaults
read from preferences.
