Roadmap
-
New in this release are speed improvements in GUI & downloading and a first step towards wiki style moderation.
- Moderation
Tribler V4.2.0 includes moderation and voting features. V4.2.0 merges the world of Bittorrent with rich meta data, thumbnail previews, and tagging. - Spam prevention and sibling attacks
Going towards Wikipedia-style moderation is only possible with effective measures against spam and abuse. V4.2.0 includes the ability for voting and intelligence to filter fake votes based on BarterCast. - Subtitles and rich metadata
Moderators have the ability to add subtitles, descriptions, thumbnail preview, and keywords/tags to a Bittorrent swarm. The subtitles for numerous languages can be added to a single swarm and correct rendering of subtitles is ensured with the buildin VLC-based player. - Re-programming of GUI and download core
The original Bittorrent code has been put through a
extensive cleanup and changes. For instance, Berkley
DB was replaced by SQLite. By restructuring and
re-writing part of the code we obtained significant
