Transmission 2.84 was released on 2014/07/01. I think it deserves an update for the LTS to keep track of the new fixes.
The fixes include https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Changes#version-2.90: All Platforms Fix renaming torrent files with common prefix Fix some more thread safety bugs in the tr_list datatype Fix infinite loop when removing torrent data Add support for CyaSSL/WolfSSL and PolarSSL cryptographic backends; bump OpenSSL minimum to v0.9.7 Initial CMake build system support Many improvements to support Windows builds with MSVS and MinGW; drop XP/2003 support, only Vista and up now Allow building against system UTP and DHT libraries Fix several memory leaks and buffer overflows Support miniupnpc API v14 Fix "prefetch-enabled" value type in settings.json (boolean instead of integer) Fix some issues discovered by static analysis (cppcheck, coverity) Fix invalid JSON encoding for non-printable characters Fix multi-threaded locale use when encoding/decoding JSON data Fix encrypted communication with libevent 2.1+ Prevent completed pieces modification by webseeds Require absolute paths in RPC requests Fix and unify torrent origin display in GTK+, Qt and web clients Fix crash on session shutdown (evdns_getaddrinfo_cancel) Retry if RPC server fails to bind to specified address Improve error checking on metadata retrieval Improve UTF-8 validity checking (merge changes from LLVM) Don't build transmission-cli by default (it's long deprecated) GTK+ Client Fix overshoot and undershoot indicators display with GTK+ 3.16+ in main window Don't require DISPLAY if started with --version argument ** Summary changed: - Transmission-gtk : upgrade-software-version + Update to latest upstream 2.90 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to transmission in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1551181 Title: Update to latest upstream 2.90 Status in transmission package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Version 2.90 has been release: https://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Changes#version-2.90 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: transmission-gtk 2.84-3ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.4.0-8.23-generic 4.4.2 Uname: Linux 4.4.0-8-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_uvm nvidia ApportVersion: 2.20-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Feb 29 04:57:23 2016 InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-02-10 (18 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Alpha amd64 (20160210) SourcePackage: transmission UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/transmission/+bug/1551181/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
