Thanks to a 3rd party sponsoring development, and recent changes in my personal life, I've started actively developing rtorrent.
Some of the recent PR's merged include:
libtorrent
- Significant performance improvements to improve throughput and reduce CPU usage.
- A fix for a torrent client crash with the socket address object.
- Support for 33 gigabit speed throttles on ruTorrent.
rTorrent
- A fix for a torrent client stack overflow crash with the lockfile buffer.
- New
trackers.delay_scrape
command for .rtorrent.rc to avoid crashes with thousands of torrents and allow instant startups. - A fix for compiling the software with LTO (Link Time Optimizations) for additional performance.
- A fix for a critical memory leak with RPC commands which may waste an alarming amount of memory.
- A fix for critical torrent client breakage if a power outage/failure occurs during a session saving interval.
