Motrix 2.0.0-beta.12

English | 简体中文

Motrix 2.0.0-beta.12 is the next Motrix Turbo beta intended for public
distribution after every protected release gate passes. It continues public
validation of the rebuilt v2 desktop app and headless server, shared download
core, MDXP integrations, and sandboxed plugin system.

Motrix 2.0.0-beta.11 was not published. All five desktop builds and all three
Finalize jobs completed, but assembly rejected the real Linux updater manifest
shape before a release bundle was created. The
beta.11 historical record
preserves the exact outcome.

Release reliability updates

  • Validates every source updater manifest against the exact allowlisted
    basenames, file sizes, and SHA-512 values of the verified platform artifacts.
  • Accepts and collapses only duplicate entries whose basename, size, and
    SHA-512 metadata are identical. Unknown assets, casing changes, missing
    packages, and conflicting duplicates remain fail-closed.
  • Regenerates the published Linux and Windows updater manifests from the
    canonical verified package set instead of copying source metadata verbatim.
    Each Linux feed therefore contains exactly one DEB and one RPM entry.
  • Retains the macOS canonicalization introduced in beta.11: source ZIP and DMG
    entries are validated before the combined updater feed is reduced to one
    verified ZIP for Intel and one for Apple Silicon.
  • Adds real-shape Linux regressions for duplicate-identical RPM entries on both
    x64 and arm64, together with negative coverage for conflicting duplicates.
  • Exercises the complete beta.11 five-platform release inputs through local
    assembly and final update-manifest verification: 17 release assets and four
    beta updater manifests pass the recovered path.
  • Keeps Windows x64 packages explicitly unsigned while retaining final
    package verification before release.
  • Retains the complete desktop platform-set gate: every desktop target must
    finalize before assembly and every canonical updater manifest must pass
    final verification before publication.

Snap beta policy

Snap is not part of the beta.12 distribution. Protected prerelease Snap runs
stop after source validation, so they do not build Snap artifacts, upload Store
revisions, or change latest/edge. Stable Snap publication retains its
complete two-architecture verification and protected Store gates.

Highlights

  • A ground-up desktop rebuild with Electron 43, React 19, and TypeScript 7,
    including a customizable Dashboard, dark mode, a cross-platform application
    menu, and clearer task-inspector feedback.
  • One host-neutral download core for both the desktop app and the Node/Web
    Server, with SQLite session recovery, tracker management, UPnP/NAT-PMP, and
    HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, and magnet support.
  • MDXP-based integration for the official CLI and browser handoff, including
    local discovery and device-code pairing for remote Server instances.
  • A QuickJS plugin sandbox with capability consent, bundled builtin plugins,
    and an in-app plugin marketplace.
  • Persistent, multi-architecture Server containers for NAS and home-server
    deployments, published to both Docker Hub and GHCR after the desktop release
    succeeds.

Before testing

This is prerelease software. Back up your existing Motrix application data and
downloads before installing it. Migration from Motrix v1 data has not yet been
validated, so do not use your only copy of v1 data with this beta.

When practical, test v2 in parallel using a separate OS account, machine, or
Docker data directory. Please do not rely on this beta for your only copy of
important downloads.

What to test

  • HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, and magnet downloads, including pause/resume and
    session recovery
  • Desktop integrations, browser and CLI handoff through MDXP, and sandboxed
    plugins
  • Headless Server deployment, persistent storage, and remote pairing

Planned downloads after release gates pass

Distribution Architectures Planned output
macOS 12 or later arm64 (Apple Silicon), x64 (Intel) DMG and ZIP
Windows x64 Unsigned NSIS installer (.exe) and ZIP
Linux x64, arm64 DEB and RPM
Flatpak Native Host companion linux/x64, linux/arm64 Motrix-Native-Host-2.0.0-beta.12-linux-<arch>.tar.gz
Docker Hub / GHCR linux/amd64, linux/arm64 Immutable 2.0.0-beta.12 tag in both registries
Snap Store — Not published for this beta

After publication, container images use
docker.io/motrixapp/motrix-server:2.0.0-beta.12 and
ghcr.io/agalwood/motrix-server:2.0.0-beta.12. See the
Docker Server deployment guide
for storage, networking, and upgrade guidance.

Known distribution limits

  • AppImage is not published for this beta.
  • Flatpak is validated separately and is not published by the release tag;
    the GitHub Release includes its Native Host companion archives.
  • Windows arm64 and all 32-bit packages are not available.
  • Windows packages are unsigned and may trigger a Windows SmartScreen warning.
    Download them only from the official GitHub Release after it is published.
  • Beta container tags are immutable and do not update latest, stable, or
    other stable floating tags.
  • Snap is not published for this beta. Prerelease Snap runs stop after source
    validation without building or publishing Snap artifacts.

Feedback

GitHub Issues. Include your
operating system, architecture, package type, and the steps needed to reproduce
