14 DAY TRIAL // Transmission developer Mike Gelfand released today a new maintenance update to the popular BitTorrent client used by millions of computer users on GNU/Linux, Mac, and Windows systems.
Coming more than three months after version 2.93, which probably most of you are using to download torrents, Transmission 2.94 is here today with improved support for latest LibreSSL TLS/crypto stack, as well as the mbed TLS open-source implementation of the Transport Layer Security (TLS) and Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocols on all supported platforms.
Transmission 2.94 also fixes the erroneous calculation of ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival) when downloading torrents, and addresses some cross-compilation issues that were caused by the MiniUPnP configuration test. These improvements are available on all supported systems, including GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows.
Qt and Web clients get improvements, security fixes
Today's update also addresses an issue with the bad downloaded percentage displayed in the DetailsDialog of the Transmission Qt client, which is used by some Qt-based desktop environments like KDE and LXQt, as well as on Windows and macOS operating systems, and improves the web-based client by fixing a tracker error Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) in the inspector.
Last but not least, Transmission 2.94 fixes an issue with torrent's name HTML-escaping in Trackers Inspector tab in the web-based client. You can download Transmission 2.94 for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Microsoft Windows operating systems right now through our web portal or update your existing installations via the OTA (Over-the-Air) update system.
GNU/Linux users will soon be able to install Transmission 2.94 from the software repositories of their favorite distributions, but you can also grab the source tarball from GitHub if you want to compile the latest version yourself.
