Monday November 16th 2020 - Donation info updates
The donation info has been updated to better reflect the expectations of donating to the project. Donations are made as a "Thank You" and with no expectation of any kind of obligation by us, eg having to implement feature X or Y.
The development of qbittorrent is done by volunteers and we don't employ programmers or other people to work on the project. There are a few lead programmers that coordinate most things on github and also contribute code.
Donations are appreciated as a "Thank You". You can choose to help with the server costs (website, forum, domain) and/or donate to lead programmers.
Because the development is volunteer driven, we can't set very specific goals. At the end of the day a volunteer will fix/implement whatever pleases him/her. We can't dictate to volunteers to work on specific things if they don't want to. The same applies to lead programmers. We are volunteers too.
However, if you want specific features implemented or issues solved you may look at our Bountysource page. There you can post a monetary bounty for an issue/feature and maybe someone is incentivized enough to fix/implement it.
For details, see donation page.
PS: The old cryptocoin addresses have been retired. Please don't continue sending funds there. Accumulated funds will be used as reserves mostly for covering server costs in the future.
Thursday October 22nd 2020 - qBittorrent v4.3.0.1 release
qBittorrent v4.3.0.1 was released.
This is a minor release to address crashes on Windows related to torrents with URL seeds ( in the qbittorrent window). These crashes were exposed due to boost 1.74. Boost 1.73 doesn't have this problem. However, libtorrent also fixed the issue on their end so the Windows installers use the newer libtorrent code.
The rest of the release is almost the same as v4.3.0 (see changelog). Since other platforms weren't affected only Windows builds will be made available for this version.
v4.3.0.1 changelog:
- WINDOWS: NSIS: Update Italian translation (bovirus)
Sunday October 18th 2020 - qBittorrent v4.3.0 release
qBittorrent v4.3.0 was released.
This is a major version release due to the high number of accumulated changes and due to the long time since the last release.
Some notes:
- Theming support has been enhanced but previous theme bundles will not work properly with this release. Please contact the theme provider for a fix. The new format is described here.
- If you want faster tracker announce rate or are having a slower client exit(compared to 4.2.x) then you may try increasing the limit from advanced settings.
- The latest version of libtorrent used contains many important fixes compared to the last one, including memory leaks and speed issues due to wrong caching logic on Windows.
- Qt 5.15.1 is used which offers far better HiDPI support. However, the torrent context menu will close after each tag selection.
- Brave users can download experimental builds from "Actions CI" on github.

- This release is made mainly to fix the previous problematic fix for Cross-Site Request Forgery attacks via the webui.
