Versie 5.4 van Tribler is uitgekomen. Tribler is een p2p-client die ontwikkeld wordt door studenten van de TU Delft en de VU Amsterdam, binnen het door de Nederlandse overheid gefinancierde I-share-project. De bedoeling is dat je groepen maakt met vrienden of mensen met dezelfde interesses, om zo content te kunnen delen. Downloads zijn beschikbaar voor Windows, Linux en Mac OS X. In deze release is met name de zoekfunctie sterk verbeterd. Hieronder zijn de volledige release notes voor versie 5.4 te vinden:
Tribler V5.4 release: Magic Search
Introducing magic search
Tribler's magic search bundles similar items in search results together using text similarity functions and digit extraction. In bundled results lists, duplicates and near duplicates are displayed as conflated groups. The end-result is a cleaner search results list, which is much easier to scan.
For example, sometimes like five identical copies of an episode exist and these copies clutter the search results list when they are all shown. Tribler's new feature prevents this by collapsing these copies into a single search result.
The "Magic" part of the new algorithm takes its best shot at figuring out how to bundle the items that match your query, but you are still free to override what Tribler has guessed is best. This form of feedback paves the way for further improvements of the bundling feature's "Magic".
We expect that this needs to grow on people. It's a different experience and we hope to hear from you people what you think of this innovation.
