PicoTorrent 0.19
Hi everyone! I've baked a brand new version of PicoTorrent - and this time it's a bit special. We have gone back to wxWidgets since Qt made some developer-hostile moves which I don't agree with. The feeling I've had looking through issues has been that v0.15 was pretty sweet, much thanks to wxWidgets.
Anyway, there's been a rewrite of most of the application, much code has been borrowed from the older wxWidgets release but not all 😄
I don't have a structured list of PR's this time around since most of the work took place in #843. Notable changes includes (but are not limited to),
- Reduced file size by a significant amount.
- A brand new About dialog which showcases dependencies and their versions. Sweet!
- More information in the Overview panel.
- Better preferences page for listen interfaces.
- An experimental C API.
If you experience any problems, open an issue here on GitHub or reach out on Twitter at @viktorelofsson or @picotorrent 😄
What's next?
For the future, I'm planning a much faster release cadence. There's also a few pretty sweet features I want to completely stabilize, such as support for v2 torrents, SSL torrents and more.
You can read more about this release on the new blog - Behind the release. I will write a similar article for each release and also try to publish news and development updates as well.

PicoTorrent 0.18
Let's start the new year with a freshly baked PicoTorrent release! It contains fixes for a bunch of reported issues. I've also replaced Breakpad with Crashpad for better error reporting. There's a new toggle in the General preferences to allow automatic crash reporting - turning this on makes it much easier for us to track crashes.

- Use IP addresses for listen interface. #743
- Close PicoTorrent when performing installer actions. #744
- Replace Breakpad with Crashpad for better crash reporting. #745
- Allow multi-selection in the torrent list view. #749
- Rasterbar-libtorrent has been updated, Geo IP lookups have been fixed, clearing column values when a torrent is paused. #750
- Store state for torrents added via magnet URI which haven't found any metadata. #787
🎏
