Development Update - May 10, 2022
🕑 Added 2022-05-11 03:01:11 +0000 UTCI have spent the last 3 weeks working on a BitTorrent v2 implementation for Tixati. Even though BEP 52 is still in draft status and bit rough around the edges, it is still worth taking the time to implement now so we can eventually get away from SHA1 hashing in favor of SHA2.
Unfortunately, due to some fundamental changes required to make dual-protocol torrents, this is a complex job. There are also changes to some magnet link formats to support the newer hash IDs, which has wide-ranging implications in the rest of the program, like RSS and Channels, which both use magnet links and needed to be made v2-aware.
Of course, you will have full control over all aspects of v2 operation, including protocol options for creating new torrents.
There are a few other interesting bits that I will document when this is over.
If all goes well, in a few weeks this will all be done.
