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

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!

Code restructuring

• category-list: Separate presentation and control by @TrimmingFool in #2588
• rss: Extract bbcode module by @TrimmingFool in #2621
• index: Preload theUILang dependent scripts by @TrimmingFool in #2562
• Removed rpc plugin in favour of using httprpc instead by @stickz in a52ed31

Development cycle bug fixes

• extsearch: Fix regressions by #2588 by @TrimmingFool in #2620
• rss: Fix bad resize on switchLabel by @TrimmingFool in #2633
• datadir: Fix id undefined by @TrimmingFool in #2622

General bug fixes

• rss: Fix timer sync by @TrimmingFool in #2569
• Fix theWebUI.getTrackerName to reject invalid announcelist items by @anthonyryan1 in #2641
• Fix category list background for Acid theme by @stickz in b648e4a

New features

• Internal creation of hybrid torrents by @stickz in 513082b
• Add icons for 1337x, iptorrents and torrentleech by @stickz in 3993782

Full Changelog: v4.2.11...v4.3.0

v4.2.11-hotfix

ruTorrent v4.3 coming soon

We rewrote the web client to be more developer friendly. Everything for the most part is the same. The code is just restructured in a different way, to reduce the amount of annoying JavaScript errors every time we release new features.

A core change is also made to how ruTorrent handles torrent creation. Hybrid torrents are enabled by default. If the external program doesn't support creating Hybrid torrents, ruTorrent will now fallback to the PHP script. This may seem trivial, but it's game changing for seed box providers and hosted servers. If mktorrent is built with hash threads, regular torrent creation will be almost instantaneous.

Recommended upgrade

It's highly recommended to upgrade to this release for RSS stability. A bunch of JavaScript errors that may render the web client in operatable (until the page is refreshed) are resolved. A problem that prevents opening the RSS menu to manage feeds is also resolved.

Bug fixes

• Resolves an error preventing the RSS menu from opening up by @stickz in 3198cbd.
• Cleanup unnecessary items (some of which cause errors) from the RSS menu by @stickz in 6276e6f.
• Backport stable change for CSS cache buster from v4.3 by @stickz in ee412c9.

Translations

• fix DE translations for "alternating list background" by @bogenpirat in #2634
• Update pt-PT translation by @Frias in #2635

New Contributors

• @bogenpirat made their first contribution in #2634

Full Changelog: v4.2.10...v4.2.11

v4.2.10-hotfix

Happy New Year!

Here's some more translations, a fix for the yggtorrent search engine and anther cache buster to prevent version upgrade issues. This release is optional. Upgrading will not serve much purpose for individual users. It's recommended common platforms upgrade.

This release will help you upgrade to v4.2, if you're still running an outdated v3 release. ruTorrent performance and stability has come lightyears since v3. ruTorrent v4.2.10 is the most polished release in ruTorrent history!

ruTorrent v4.3 will address bugs that are created by code changes. We are not rushing it. It doesn't serve much purpose to the end user, other than to prevent bugs from occurring between major version bumps. It is purely symbolic of the progress made!

What's Changed

• Update Turkish translations by @selimsumlu in #2610
• Update Greek translations by @ChriZathens in fd8719c
• Update yggtorrent url by @polter05 in #2611
