Some project news
Written by Christophe Dumez

Hi,

I decided to write this short post to keep you all updated on the project status. 

First of all, qBittorrent project is happy to welcome a new developper : Arnaud Demaiziere (French student in IT, same university as me), who will help me coding new features and fix bugs :) He already implemented "Autocompletion in search engine" yesterday and he is now working on RSS Feeds support.

Myself, I'm rewriting  a big part of the code in order to improve it and split the graphical user interface from the bittorrent part. This way, qBittorrent should be able to run "headless" (without GUI) in next releases. I'm also doing some research on uPnP support.

As you can see, we are working hard on next release (v0.9.0). It will be based on Qt 4.2 and libtorrent v0.12. We already coded a lot of new interesting features in SVN like uTorrent Peer eXchange (PeX) support, full/partial sources number display in download list, Closing to systemtray, better communication between qBT instances (socket), new trayicon from Qt 4.2, lot of code rewriting to lower memory/cpu usage, loads of bug fixes.

Peerkoel is also working on porting qBittorrent to Windows and we are hoping that v0.9.0 will be available on Linux / MacOS X / Windows systems.

We will probably release qBittorrent v0.9.0 as soon as libtorrent v0.12 final is released. Hopefully, you won't have to way long. For the people who can't way, just try SVN ;) 

 
Short break in qBittorrent development

I'll make a short break in qBittorrent development, until January 20th. This is due to the Christmas/New Year holiday and the exams just after the holidays.

I'll go back (intensively) to qBittorrent development after that.

Thank you guys for your comprehension.

Hi all,

Short break in development

Hi all,

 Just a smal news to tell you that next release of qBittorrent (v0.8.0) is not far from ready but I'll make a short break in development : 1 week and a half. This is due to the fact that I'm taking some holidays in Czech republic and that I'll have my mid-term exams just after. I'm sorry about that but you won't have to wait too long for v0.8.0 : I promess :)

In the meantime, don't hesitate to test SVN.
