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

Deluge 1.0.0 codenamed “Sharks Are Bulletproof” is out. It’s a complete rewrite from the ground up with a host of new features.
1. It’s now possible to run Deluge as a daemon since the core and UI have been separated.
2. The GTK UI has also been redesigned as seen in the screen shot above.
3. Deluge is now way more stable compared to the older versions.
4. New and improved queuing system.
5. Include GeoIP database for country look-ups
6. Migration to the upcoming libtorrent 0.14 release
However, before upgrading I would recommend that you complete your torrents first. This upgrade will not migrate your settings and your torrent list is not guaranteed to migrate properly too. So why take the chance right?
