Halite Snapshot v 0.3.1.8

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.

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