The first full release of ktorrent for KDE4 is out. Compared to the release candidate we added a whole bunch of bugfixes and improvements to ktorrent.

Downloads can be found on our downloads page. I hope you all enjoy this release.

George,

please do not change soname of the public library (libbtcore) without purpose:

  _ZNK2bt11PeerManager10metaObjectEv@Base 3.0~rc1.dfsg.1


That's libbtcore 3.0rc1 vs 3.0

The symbol was added, not removed, therefore you could have simply increased libbtcore version number to e.g. 2.1.0. Soname bumps increase maintenance overhead and should be avoided when no symbols are removed/renamed.

P.S. I don't care about libktcore because it's private.

Packages for 3.0 will be available in Debian experimental soon. libbtcore package had to be renamed due to soname change so it may take quite a few days to enter archive.

I've been running 3.0rc1 with some fixes from trunk 24/7 for over two weeks now. It was a good release.

Now with the advent of 3.0.0 I can only congratulate ktorrent developers with a very solid release. Thank you for making the best bittorrent client available to all KDE4 users. If somebody using KDE4 is still wondering whether to upgrade to ktorrent 3 from ktorrent 2.x.x, don't hesitate!

(sorry for english)
how before downloading change filename or name of folder
for join to seeding and dont rename data on my harddisk (filename, folder or structure of folders)
e.g. http://ktorrent.org/forum/viewtopic.php ... highlight=
rus: [а как при скачивании изменить имя файла или имя скачиваемого каталога..,
чтоб присоединиться к существующей раздаче, и при этом не переименовывать файлы перед этим у себя на винте.. ]

You can only move the data itself at the moment, but this is planned for the KDE4 version

-> well, where is it...

Here's Gentoo ebuild. Works at least in my box.

Fedora Rawhide now also ships with a Ktorrent 3.0.0 build, therefore Fedora 9 (expect it at the end of April) will also contain Ktorrent 3.0.

Fedora 8 and 7, the current stable series of Fedora will continue to run Ktorrent 2.5.

Freeze exception already granted for Ubuntu, we will have it in Hardy. Backports will be coming soon.

kTorrent should be made the default client for ubuntu. Why exactly isnt it?

1.Because it needs KDE.

2.They decided transmission will be the default client in the next release.
3.It already is the default for Kubuntu/Sidux/add more distro's here...

Any word on when/if we can expect KTorrent 3.0.x on Gutsy?

Last I checked, ktorrent-kde4 was a 4.0.0-labled package of a 3.0 beta.
