Deluge, a free, open source, and multi-platform software project that acts as a full-featured and lightweight BitTorrent client on GNU/Linux, BSD, Windows, and Macintosh operating systems, has reached version 1.3.7 after four months of development.

Deluge 1.3.7 fixes the compatibility with Python Twisted 13.1, resolves an issue with rejected dotted filenames by the extractor component, repairs an error that appeared if the listen interface was whitespace, and the encryption level has been tweaked to match the libtorrent values.

Both the GTK+ graphical user interface and the web-based interface received attention from developers. To be more precise, a right-click selection issue has been fixed on the web-based UI, as well as Unicode password support and an error related to non-ASCII torrents.

In addition, the “StartupWMClass” function has been added to the desktop file for Deluge, the Ratio column is retaining its position, an IPC lockfile issue that prevented the application from starting has been repaired, and the password dialog can now be bypassed when showing or quitting.

Among other improvements and fixes we can mention that the torrent state is now automatically updated after emitting “TorrentFinishedEvent?,” IP addresses are now validated for the listen_interface entry, the Alertmanager interval has been increased to 0.3s, and torrents that are flagged as private no longer support auto-merging of torrent trackers.
