Greenhouse can now look after itself: it follows feeds, watches a folder, keeps
running with the window closed, and plays a film while it is still downloading.

New

  • Feeds. Follow an RSS or Atom feed and new releases are added as they
    appear. Filter by words in the title and give each feed its own folder.
    Adding a feed never downloads its backlog.
  • Play while downloading. Press play on a video or audio file and it opens
    in mpv, VLC or a player you choose. The part you are watching is fetched first.
  • Runs in the background. Optionally keep Greenhouse going when you close
    the window, with a tray icon where your desktop shows one, and start it
    quietly at login.
  • Activity. A dated record of what was added, finished, moved or failed,
    and what caused it.
  • VPN kill switch. Tie torrent traffic to one network interface. If it goes
    missing, traffic is blocked rather than rerouted.
  • Blocklist. Point at a P2P-format blocklist and it is refreshed daily.
  • Seeding limits. Stop at a ratio, after a number of hours, or whichever
    comes first. Ratios now survive restarts.
  • Watch folder. .torrent files saved to a folder are added on their own.
  • Add without asking. Skip the add sheet and use your saved defaults.
  • Network settings apply with one button, no relaunch needed.
  • The add sheet warns when a torrent will not fit on the disk.

Fixed

  • A magnet nobody was seeding left the add sheet stuck forever. It now waits in
    the list, can be cancelled, and is remembered across restarts.
  • No dock icon when Greenhouse was opened by a browser or file manager.
  • Clicking the shortcut while Greenhouse was already open did nothing.
  • A changed download folder was ignored until the next launch.
  • Re-adding a torrent you already have no longer claims it was added.

Which file do I want

File For
Greenhouse_0.2.0_amd64.deb Debian, Ubuntu, Mint
Greenhouse-0.2.0-1.x86_64.rpm Fedora, openSUSE
Greenhouse_0.2.0_amd64.AppImage Anything else

All x86_64. The .deb and .rpm now pull in libayatana-appindicator3 for the
tray icon. GNOME only shows tray icons with the AppIndicator extension, and
Greenhouse works fine without one.

Worth knowing

Protocol encryption (MSE/PE) is still not supported, because the underlying
engine does not implement it.
