Finally a new Halite snapshot has been release. It’s an unstable build but has been working quite well for me. Configurations from the last stable should load fine, mileage may vary for older version.

For the sake of clairity I’ve adopted to notation of using a odd number to signify unstable releases. The indicator number being the second least significant digit, i.e. 0.3.3.0

Changes:
+ from v 0.3.2.1 to 0.3.3.0:
1) Announce to all trackers.
2) Magnet URIs support added.
3) Download complete balloon notification.
4) Right aligned numeric columns.
5) Super-seeding.
6) File renaming (not fully exposed by UI).
7) Updated to libtorrent 0.15.1
- brings significant optimizations and bug fixes.

I’ve released a new Halite snapshot to SourceForge.net, this is classed as Release Candidate 2 and should be the last before the very near stable 0.3.2 release.

See the forum thread for additional details.

Thanks goes to Tw@in for all his help and thanks to all the translators.

Both Auriel 2 and CleanGlass have been updated and I’d like to believe they’re the better for it.

I’ve released a new Halite snapshot to SourceForge.net.

First, and very important, there is a known problem where if UPnP is turned off then Halite can crash (quite frequently) at startup. This is a problem in the underlying libtorrent layer and is being worked on. I was going to wait till that issue were fixed but a recent vulnerability in libtorrent has prompted this earlier release.

Anyway to address the UPnP issues that feature is hardcoded always on. I know some will not like this but it is temporary, once the bug is fixed I’ll release that correct version ASAP.

Otherwise a new feature is the shutdown scheduler. Feel free to suggest other functions for that feature but note, for reasons already discussed here, a ‘shutdown when downloads are finished’ or similar option is not planned.

See the forum thread for additional details.
