For lack of a better method (perhaps we should use a mailing list?), I'll announce new versions of python-libtorrent in this thread. This is important for people who are running Deluge from svn, since as you have probably noticed, sometimes changes in python-libtorrent crash Deluge unless you have an up-to-date python-libtorrent. Hopefully the notices here will save people some time and crashes.

.deb files for python-libtorrent can be found at the usual place, on the downloads page (http://kripkensteiner.googlepages.com/). The source code is available by svn, at the project page (http://code.google.com/p/python-libtorrent/).

(For people NOT using Deluge from svn, you can safely ignore this thread. Use the release versions normally, i.e. 2.0 Deluge with 2.0 python-libtorrent, etc.).

First announcement: There is a new version of python-libtorrent, 0.2.2. This includes new code to allow Deluge to identify itself when two Deluge clients connect to each other (the client in the peer list will now read "Deluge", hopefully), as well as important code to deal with errors in the protocol. Consequently you should now see only relevant messages in the messages tab. Additionally message reporting from trackers should be much improved (it appears in the general torrent info tab).
