Version 0.9.3

Release date: 2010/12/13

  • ! fixed: tracker abbreviations for openbittorrent fixed. new default abbreviations: openbt and publicbt for openbittorrent and publicbittorrent. Note that both of them do no more offer a http announce URL (they are pure UDP trackers now).
  • fixed: did not prompt the user when overwriting an existing torrent using the -o <output directory> switch
  • fixed: version number was still 0.9 (now 0.9.3, of course), so it did not identify itself correctly, e.g. when issueing “–version”.

  • added: skipping symlinks that point to files or directories that have already been processed (or are still being processed)
