[markybob]

0.5.6RC1 (version #0.5.5.95) has hit our download server, with packages, at http://download.deluge-torrent.org/
Notabily, this is the first version with a WebUI (many thanks to mvoncken) and a Windows port (many thanks to slurdge)!

Here's a somewhat complete changelog:
* Web Interface Plugin
* Hopefully fix "losing data" and having to re-download parts (for real this time :p)
* Use new full allocation method which does not create files until one of its pieces is downloaded
* Tray lock password is no longer stored in plain text
* Update the Scheduler plugin and fix a bunch of bugs on it
* Double-clicking on a torrent opens up its containing folder
* Fix SpeedLimiter plugin when setting upload limits
* Fix MoveTorrent plugin when moving actively downloading torrents
* Pause torrents while importing blocklist and resume them when finished
* Remove TorrentPieces and disable its use
* A whole bunch of stuff for Win32
* Add private flag to TorrentCreator plugin
* Use SVG for internal logo usage (except on Win32)
* Use theme for tray icon instead of hard-coded
* Properly release port on shutdown
* TorrentFiles plugin now has progress bars
* Removing torrent files no longer deletes files that werent part of the torrent
* New max half-open connections setting to deal with cheap/broken routers
* Inherit UPnP fixes from libtorrent
* Use threading for everything, instead of spawnning

I'm confused about the private flag. Wasn't that in other releases as well or has it been reworked? If it has been reworked I will try to upload another torrent and see if it is accepted.

previously you could enable the private flag if you used "enabled selecting files for torrents before loading"...the new feature allows you to set the private flag when creating new torrents, and not just when loading them.

hmm...strange to have it as 0.5.6RC1 but have to download the file 0.5.5.95.

Ehh..no biggie. Just commenting.

very impressed with the following points that seems to have been fixed. i havent done any extensive testing though, but seems to work. these annoyed me in previous releases:
* Fix SpeedLimiter plugin when setting upload limits
* Properly release port on shutdown
* New max half-open connections setting to deal with cheap/broken routers

in short: awesome

Has the moving of the UI (the lower pane) been fixed? i'm talking about the part where the tracker, status, # of pieces etc. are displayed. for me it is always
moving when the numbers are changing ie. it's not fixed size.

It's not meant to be a fixed size.
