Support for RPC version 16 (Transmission 3.0) about transmissionrpc

[hekmon]

Thanks to the work of @shric master should be compatible to RPC v16 while not being feature complete yet.

While work continue toward a full v2 of the lib, if you need RPC v16 compatibility for now I suggest to track master or 05b4d9c for more stability.

I will leave this issue open until v2 is complete.

v2 has been released !

This seems to be a good place to start ! To be even more specific, a diff between the specs should be the best.

However, from what you reported it seems not all changes have been transparently written to the spec file. If lastAnnounceTimedOut is indeed a proper bool now, that kind of thing is not necessary anymore.

I fear a lot of testing is needed just to fix the existing functionalities before even adding new ones (fortunately it seems there is not a lot of them). And to be 100% honest with you I won't be able to start working on this soon for personnal life reasons. However if you want to start the work on a branch of yours attached to a PR, I will gladly answer your questions if any :)

Hopefully this will yield a v2 of this lib with RPC v16 support !

Just summarizing my observations of RPC v16 vs v15 here

#14 addresses these changes:

• trackerStats as mentioned above now uses a bool for lastScrapeTimedOut. Actually lastAnnounceTimedOut was already bool.
• Labels has been added to torrent-get and torrent-set.
• editDate has been added to torrent-get.

Not implemented:

• format request argument for torrent-get. This allows torrent data to be returned as an array of arrays instead of a json blob and provides little to no benefit to users of this package as the package already unmarshals the JSON for you.

• fields request argument for session-get. This is like fields in torrent-get. The ability to select only the desired fields for torrent-get provides an enormous speed increase which is especially apparent when dealing with many torrents. session-get is a much smaller payload whose time and size doesn't scale on the number of torrents so it also doesn't provide much benefit.
