Versie 0.10 van PicoTorrent is uitgekomen. PicoTorrent is een betrekkelijk nieuwe speler op de bittorrent-markt. Het programma is geschreven in C++ 14 en maakt net als vele andere cliënts gebruik van libtorrent. PicoTorrent is volgens eigen zeggen modern, snel en licht in het gebruik. Ondanks dat de core cross-platform is, is het programma momenteel alleen beschikbaar voor Windows. De changelog voor versie 0.10 laat de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen zien:
Release notes
FeaturesA month in the works, this release of PicoTorrent brings a whole lot to the table. Most notably the WebSocket API which allows developers to write remote clients to monitor PicoTorrent. The API is read-only for now, which means you cannot pause/resume/add/remove torrents, just observe.
Other features includes a cross-platform core, which is always nice to have. This means we get warnings and validation from another compiler, in this case GCC.
To run the portable version of PicoTorrent v0.10, you will need the Visual C++ 2015 runtime.
