KTorrent 4.0 is finally released. This release add some rather interesting features like magnet support and the µTP protocol (bittorrent over UDP).

Next to these big ones many smaller ones were also added:

• Authentication can now be disabled in the webinterface (use with care obviously)
• A new plugin to generate magnet URI's from torrents was added
• Events like hibernating and the network going down for some time, are now handled in a better way.

The release of 4.0 is approaching, as a final preparation for this release, 4.0rc1 is now available. It is mostly a bugfix release, however there is one big change. KTorrent has now split into the application ktorrent and the library libktorrent.

Libktorrent contains all the torrent downloading code, and ktorrent contains all application code and plugins. The goal is to make libktorrent an independent library (though still closely related to ktorrent), which can be used by other applications.

The second beta release for 4.0 is out, this is the first version of ktorrent to feature support for the µTorrent transport protocol. It is still in an experimental stadium but it should be fairly stable.

Next to this big change, a whole bunch of bugs were fixed and several improvements where made:

• Authentication can now be disabled in the webinterface (use with care obviously)
• A new plugin to generate magnet URI's from torrents was added
• Events like hibernating and the network going down for some time, are now handled in a better way.
