From the release notes: > The entire codebase has been migrated from C to C++. In the process, we've removed thousands of lines of custom code and used standard C++ tools instead. The core's code has shrunk by 18%. The core codebase has been extensively refactored to be more testable and maintainable. From the user perspective I don't particularly care (although I've been using it for more than a decade) but it excit…

The uTorrent client moved to the web is simply broken.
This is a big deal. The FOSS world has been unable to switch to hybrid or v2 torrents for years, entirely because Transmission would completely break if handed an v2 or hybrid file and the developers declined to address it.
libtorrent supported v2 roughly three years ago.

It's not anymore. See https://github.com/transmission/transmission/issues/597 , tagged "pr welcome".
Replace:
/* otherwise go with our random seed / return tr_compareUint16( a->random, b->random ); With:
/ otherwise download the pieces in order */ return tr_compareUint16( a->piece, b->piece );
>It's not technically challenging to add a drop-down list of languages to the UI, as least for the Qt client, but I'm still not convinced it'll be used by a lot of people.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I was a long time user of transmission, but when I redid my *arr setup I devided to go to qbittorrent. qBittorrent can handle way more simultaneous connections and torrents than transmission. It doesn't slow down, it supports tags, categories and even custom UI (vue-qbittorrent is awesome). I'm not going back, especially when you have great docker images with WireGuard integrated in them.
From the download page: > The macOS version is not well supported, because we don't have active macOS developers/contributors. My hopes were dashed :(
Happy to hear people are working on this.
On the Mac, this is the only working bittorrent client for me. The uTorrent client moved to the web is simply broken.
Personally - I happen to like deluge more, but they both work fine.
