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),
If you experience any problems, open an issue here on GitHub or reach out on Twitter at @viktorelofsson or @picotorrent 😄
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.
If you like the work I put in, there's always the option of sponsoring me. It is completely optional and highly appreciated!

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.

This release contains a few goodies but mostly bug fixes. The bug fixes are based on all the crash reports which are sent in, which is awesome! Please keep sending the reports, it makes improving PicoTorrent much easier 😃

First of all - sorry for the delay! I've been quite busy with real life and haven't had as much time to work on PicoTorrent. However, I'll try to change the trend and I will also move forward with smaller releases coming out more often, instead of waiting for bigger features.
That said, here it is! Finally.
This version of PicoTorrent is more or less completely rewritten, now using Qt as the UI framework. It has grown a bit in size, but it will lay the foundation of what have had in mind since the beginning - a hackable BitTorrent client. There's basic JavaScript support to add torrent filters, and I'll add both API documentation and more examples in the upcoming versions.
A few things to note, however
Highlighted features
I expect there will be some issues with this being a complete rewrite, but I'll do my best to address any issues I find as quickly as I can
Enjoy!

PicoTorrent v0.15 comes with a few fixes and also brings back the feature to move completed downloads which was forgotten in the wxWidgets rewrite. Sorry about that! There has also been a few fixes to resolving paths which are based on the crash dumps that gets sent, so keep sending crash dumps. They help! 😄
It also comes with the option to encrypt the configuration file. This can be enabled from the advanced preferences panel, and is recommended.

v0.14.1 of PicoTorrent comes with a few bug fixes and language improvements.
I've focused this release on fixing the most common errors reported from the built-in crash reporter dialog. This dialog attaches a minidump and sends to a central API for processing and analysis, so it really helps when you choose to send the error report 😄
Here's the rundown,

Finally, PicoTorrent 0.14 is here! It's been a long time since the last release, almost ten months, but I think the wait has been worth it.
This version of PicoTorrent is rebuilt on top of wxWidgets which is a cross-platform GUI library. It uses native controls on each platform, and will allow us to advance towards our cross-platform goal. PicoTorrent is still tiny, and has lots of performance.

This is a small bug fix update which solves an issue where PicoTorrent 0.11 searched for data files in the wrong directory.
ℹ️ If you had PicoTorrent 0.10 installed, things should now be back to normal.
❗️ If you are new to PicoTorrent and installed PicoTorrent 0.11, you will need to move some files (if you care about settings, otherwise you don't need to bother). The following files and folders should be moved to C:\Users\<user>\AppData\PicoTorrent
,
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\PicoTorrent.json
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Torrents

It's been a long time since the last release, but finally, here's 0.11 for all your BitTorrent needs. This new version has been refactored almost from the ground up and contains a brand new plugin API as well as a lot of bug fixes and other features.
❗️ Do not update if you rely on the WebSocket functionality. It will be added back in v0.12

A month in the works, this release of PicoTorrent brings a whole lot to the table. Most notably the WebSocket API which allows developers to write remote clients to monitor PicoTorrent. The API is read-only for now, which means you cannot pause/resume/add/remove torrents, just observe.
Other features includes a cross-platform core, which is always nice to have. This means we get warnings and validation from another compiler, in this case GCC.
ℹ️ To run the portable version of PicoTorrent v0.10, you will need the Visual C++ 2015 runtime.
