V7.10.0-exp1

This is an experimental release for Tribler 7.10 series. It features many changes to the Channels GUI, bugfixes and performance improvements, namely:

• Channels database performance improved up to 200x (most notable on slower machines)
• Added new Search Loading screen showing the search progress
• Improved Search performance and filtering quality
• Added the ability to add picture thumbnails and descriptions to personal channels
• Channels can now be browsed without subscribing
• Improved torrent health information spreading
• Added Russian, Chinese and Portuguese translations for the GUI
• Added GUI language selector to the GUI Settings tab
• Added the option to minimize Tribler to tray
• Many bug fixes

Known problems:

• Some parts of the GUI can appear untranslated
• Most of the new Channels-related features (e.g. live browsing of non-subscribed channels) will only work reliably when most of the network migrates to 7.10.

As usual, it is advised to backup your Tribler config folder before upgrading to the experimental release.
