** Description changed: Binary package hint: transmission - Transmission 1.74 was released earlier today after a beta period last - week. This has been timed to get in before the Aug 27 deadline for - Karmic. + Transmission 1.74 is a bug-fix release, which should be ok by itself + without a FFe request. However, merging with Debian enables the QT + front-end (and puts it in to it's own package - transmission-qt). The QT + front-end is already shipped in the current tarball, but we just don't + build it. - When talking to kklimonda about this before he left for vacation last - weekend, he suggested that I open this ticket after 1.74's release to - ensure that the Ubuntu packagers had a heads-up about it. + ***Upstream changes 1.73 -> 1.74*** + + All tickets closed by this release: + http://trac.transmissionbt.com/query?milestone=1.74&group=component&groupdesc=1&order=severity + + ==== All Platforms ==== + * Better data recovery in the case of an OS or Transmission crash + * If a data file is moved, stop the torrent instead of redownloading it (Ubuntu bug 419304) + * Fix bug that didn't list some peers in the resume file and in PEX + * More helpful torrent error messages + * DHT now honors the bind-address-ipv4 configuration option + * Fix Debian build error with miniupnpc + * Fix Cygwin build error with strtold + * Update to a newer snapshot of miniupnpc + ==== GTK+ ==== + * Fix crash that occurred when adding torrents on some desktops + * Synchronize the statusbar's and torrent list's speeds + * Fix the Properties dialog's "Origin" field for multiple torrents + ==== Qt ==== + * New Russian Translation + * If Transmission was minimized, clicking on it the icon tray didn't raise it + ==== Daemon ==== + * Speed Limit mode support added to transmission-remote + * Add a "session stats" readout to transmission-remote + ==== Web Client ==== + * Progress bar shows seeding progress + * Fix bug that displayed "%nan" when verifying a torrent + * "Pause All" only appeared to pause torrents with peers until refresh + + ***Rationale*** + Building the QT front-end means that KDE users can use transmission without having to pull in GTK. The additional risk of building the QT front end is minimal because: + + 1) Both front-ends (GTK and QT) share a lot of common code (libtransmission) which is already used in Ubuntu, well tested and only has bug-fixes in this release. + 2) The regression risk is non-existant as we currently don't ship the QT front end at all, and it will be built in to it's own package and not installed by default. + 3) Upstream (Charles in particular) is very responsive, active here on Launchpad and fix bugs quickly, so I have every confidence that any bugs that exist in the QT front end will be rectified fairly quickly upstream. + 4) Debian already build the QT front end, and I can't find any bugs related to it on their tracker. + + ***Testing*** + Build log: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/30912687/build.log
