Deluge 1.0.2 is out. This is an important bug fix release for Deluge 1.0.0. Many bug fixes and stability improvements have gone into it.

Changelog; Read more

Deluge 1.0.2 (10 October 2008)
Core:
* Fix issue where torrents will not be properly added to the session

Deluge 1.0.1 (10 October 2008)
Core:
* Change the default max global upload slots to 4 instead of -1 since libtorrent
will automatically open more slots to meet the upload speed limit.
* Fix display of tracker error messages
* Fix add_torrent_url() to download the torrent file in a thread to prevent
the main thread from blocking and causing the daemon to freeze.
* Removed the ‘Maximum Connections Per Second’ setting and replaced it with a
default setting of 20. This should alleviate speed issues some are experiencing.
* Changed max half-open connections default limit to 8 on XP/2000 and 4 on Vista
* Prevent being able to set file priorities for compactly allocated torrents as
it is not intended to work.
* Fix freezing on start-up issues on systems that do not have a properly
configured localhost entry.
* Change max connections default setting to 200
* Fix issue with invalid bencoding from some trackers
* Plenty of libtorrent updates that should improve core stability

GtkUI:
* Improve performance of files tab by only updating when values change

Misc:
* Fix #187 set a 5 second timer to save the config file after a config value
has been changed.
* Fix #503 change the boost lib detection logic to first look for -mt and
if not available, fall back to regular boost lib (non-multithreaded)

WebUI:
* Add enable “Auto Add” checkbox

openSUSE 11.1 Beta 1 is now available for download and testing.

Some of the important changes;

Linux kernel 2.6.27rc5.

GNOME 2.24 and KDE 4.1.x will be the default desktop choices. KDE 3.5.10 will still available under the “other window managers” section. I’m not a big fan of KDE 4 yet but for testing I’ll take it for a spin.

Amarok 2.0 Beta 1 for KDE 4 and Banshee 3.1 for GNOME. Amarok 2 is gonna rock!!

IPv6 support. Run in an IPv6 environment and run IPv6 based web servers.

Support for SELinux alongside the Novell’s AppArmor.
