The long awaited 1.2 is here. Along with a slew of improvements, the most notable new feature is Mainline compatible DHT (Trackerless) support. The version was bumped from 1.1.7.2 to 1.2 due to the significance of the changes. Note however that Unicode is not yet supported, but it will be available soon. Also, the changes for the unofficial 1.1.8.RC1 version are listed below. You can get it from the download section.

difference is? why choose a beta instead of a stable 1.2.2?

I'm proud to present the first Unicode-enabled version of µTorrent. This will make it possible for international users to use µTorrent to download files with special character sets. It will also make it simpler for translators to translate µTorrent to their native languages.

Please note that old torrents might not find the corresponding files if the filenames contain extended characters. If you re-add the torrents in the Unicode version, it should work fine.

Full changelog:

--- 2005-11-30: Version 1.2.3-beta (build 356)

- Feature: UNICODE!

- Feature: Added option to sort downloads based on the label.

- Feature: Autodetect if the language textfile is utf8 or ansi.

- Feature: Rate limit DHT traffic.

- Fix: Use atomic movefile when saving resume file on XP

- Fix: Better utorrent.exe.log if translation loading fails

- Fix: Fix bug that DHT got stuck in (Login)

- Fix: Fixed some crash bugs. (Thanks to the crash dumps)

- Fix: Hopefully worked around the file open crash. (Caused by Adobe Acrobat 7).

- Fix: Fix crash bug if an invalid filename is selected in the opendialog.

- Fix: Fix crash when removing torrents.

- Fix: Fix sorting in pieces tab

This release is pretty stable... only because unicode is new they released a beta first.

Beta 1.2.3 Build 360 is available.
