Version history for Tribler
<<Back to software description
Changes for v7.5.0 RC1 - v7.5.0 RC2
- This is the second release candidate for the initial release of Tribler 7.5 series. All reported crash-inducing bugs from 7.5.0-rc1 were fixed, including the "pending task" crash and DNS-related crashes.
Changes for v7.4.4 - v7.5.0-exp1
- Nested Channels. Users can now create more than one personal channel. Channels now can feature an arbitrary sub-structure of folders, just like in a real filesystem. Also, the Channels GUI was refactored for speed.

Changes for v6.4.0 - v6.4.1
- This release contains critical security updates. PLEASE UPDATE from V6.4.0 to V6.4.1.
- The anonymity in V6.4.0 did not function properly.
- Users are advised to only enable anonymous downloading in V6.4.1 it if they understand the implications stated within the on-screen advisory.
- Our experimental hidden seeding feature did not perform adequately. You are likely to function as a exit node for the traffic of other users. We are deeply sorry for this. We're working hard on fixing this issue, but that will take significant amount of work. We will make Tribler exit nodes explicit in the future and reward them (issue #23 in Github).
- We want to get this right. We are very grateful for the help that security expert "Yawning Angel" is giving us. All critical issues raised by him/her are either fixed or are being working on. Especially the advise to replace our simplistic AES-ECB with AES-GCM saved us quite some development time. You can track our progress at: https://github.com/Tribler/tribler/issues/1066
- Detailed changes:
- removed all references to gmpy.rand (security cleanup)
- one-time AES keys are generated with python's random.randint() (FIXED)

- During DB migration, any found leftover torrent file will be automatically imported into Tribler and the corrupt/duplicate ones will be dropped
- Make bootstrap a bit more aggressive so Tribler gets to a working state a bit faster
