Transmission 4.1.0-beta.3

This is Transmission 4.1.0-beta.3. We're not in feature freeze yet, so this release includes some new features as well as bugfixes and performance improvements.

What's New in 4.1.0-beta.3

All Platforms

• Added support for using a proxy server for web connections. (#7486)

• Respect the min interval and interval keys from any tracker responses. (#7493)
• Announce port-forwarded peer port instead of local peer port on DHT. (#7511)
• Fixed 4.1.0-beta.1 bug where UDP tracker announces were delayed for 10+ seconds on some systems. (#7634)
• Fixed 4.1.0-beta.1 bug where opening the Torrent Properties window while downloading would hang the Qt client. (#7638)
• Fixed 4.1.0-beta.2 bug that could crash when a peer's client name had invalid UTF-8. (#7667)
• Improved libtransmission code to use less CPU. (#7744)
• Deprecated the RPC field torrent-get.manualAnnounceTime. (#7497)

macOS Client

• Reimplemented QuickLook previews for torrent files with Quick Look preview extension API on macOS 12+. (#7213)
• Use modern macOS APIs to prevent idle system sleep and add support for Low Power Mode. (#7543)
• Updated app icon for Liquid Glass. (#7736)

Qt Client

• Use custom colored progress bars in Qt client for torrent states differentiation. (#7756)

Web Client

• Added new options for web client to filter torrents by their privacy or error status. (#6977)
• Added accept torrent files in web. (#7683)
• Fixed filtering torrents by tracker after a torrent's tracker list is edited. (#7761)
• Added waiting 1/4 seconds of typing in the search bar before executing and a new button to clear the search. (#6948)
• Updated viewport-sensitive layout and style to uniform across browsers of varying viewport. (#7328)

Daemon

• Use Type=notify-reload in the systemd service file. (#7570)
• The daemon systemd service file now uses the CMake install prefix. (#7571)

transmission-remote

• Expose the torrent-get.percentDone key in transmission-remote. (#7622)

Everything Else

• Require CMake 3.16.3 or higher to build Transmission. (#7576)

• Sync translations. (#7768)
