The release of the free graphical client Nicotine+ 3.2.1 for the P2P file-sharing network Soulseek has taken place. Nicotine+ aims to be a user-friendly, free alternative to the official Soulseek client, providing additional functionality while maintaining compatibility with the Soulseek protocol. The client code is written in Python using the GTK graphical library and is distributed under the GPLv3 license. Builds are available for GNU/Linux, BSD, Solaris, Windows, and macOS.
Key Changes:
- Direct browsing of directories and files via the ‘slsk://’ protocol has been added.
- Overall performance and stability of interaction with proxy server Soulseek and peer-to-peer connections have been optimized.
- The graphical interface performance has been optimized.
- Significant work has been done by the community to translate the program into different languages.
- A critical vulnerability related to loading requests with an incorrectly specified file path has been fixed.
- Handling of temporary files with names exceeding 255 characters has been corrected.
- An issue that caused uploads to get stuck permanently in the sharing queue has been resolved.
- An error that prevented language translations from being automatically applied on Windows and macOS has been fixed.
