This hotfix resolves a regression introduced in v4.1 with automatic updating of RSS feeds. It also contains minor translation corrections.

What's Changed

• Fix automatic updating of RSS feeds by @stickz in edb429c
• Minor PT-pt translation corrections by @Frias in #2693

Full Changelog: v4.3.6...v4.3.7

v4.3.6-hotfix

ruTorrent v4.3.6

This hotfix resolves a long standing bug with hardlinks on the autotools plugin. It's highly recommended to upgrade. If a hardlink already exists (like if a torrent is downloaded twice for instance), it would copy a duplicate of the file somewhere else on the hard drive. This was due to a syntax error with the case statement, causing a file copy operation to intendedly be executed.

What's Changed

• Fix autotools plugin when hardlink already existst by @stickz in 6ecbf02

Full Changelog: v4.3.5...v4.3.6

v4.3.5-hotfix

ruTorrent v4.3.5

This hotfix increases the height of the file browser window to 300 pixels, when creating torrent files. It reduces the amount of scrolling required. Previously, the height was too small with hundreds of files. This made creating torrents more difficult.

We are redoing the add torrent dialog in the next major/minor release of ruTorrent. The feature is implanted now to increase that height as well. It is required to rework the parent object. We do not intend to do this in a patch release for stability reasons.

What's Changed

• Increase height of torrent creator file browser by @stickz in 899a553

Full Changelog: v4.3.4...v4.3.5

v4.3.4-hotfix

ruTorrent v4.3.4

This hotfix resolves a regression with v4.3 with hiding the views panel. The view panel will now properly hide when Show Views Panel in unchecked in Settings -> Format. We reworked the category list in v4.3 to avoid future regressions for code changes.

What's Changed

• Hide views panel for hidden attribute by @stickz in e53811a

Full Changelog: v4.3.0...v4.3.1

v4.3.0-stable

ruTorrent v4.3 is here!

This release has been in development for almost six months now! We have ironed out as many bugs and glitches as possible ahead of time. We recommend that common platforms wait one week to upgrade. There is a hotfix release planned, should it be required.

A few highlights include:

1. We have dropped support for the older RPC plugin, in favour of using HTTPRPC instead. We have optimized the performance of HTTPRPC in previous major releases. RPC is not able to handle a large number of torrents unlike HTTPRPC. By dropping support here, we were able to reduce webserver load, by reducing the request timeout threshold from 30s to 10s. Also, improve the speed of torrent information updates by 500ms. This has a positive performance and stability impact for the web client.

2. Hybrid torrents can now be created in all situations. It will use the internal PHP implementation if the selected software doesn't support it. This allows threaded regular torrent creation on mktorrent for instance, without losing support to create hybrid torrents.

3. We have restructured the code for the ruTorrent web client to be more developer friendly. This will prevent some of those frustrating bugs and glitches, every time we do a major version bump. This releases addresses the core issues, which cause instability to happen!
