Changelog

All notable changes to RatioForge will be documented in this file.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to Semantic Versioning.

[1.0.5] - 2026-03-19

Fixed

  • Network: Fixed Cloudflare HTTPS tracker connection hanging caused by missing Connection: close and Keep-Alive loops.
  • Network: Fixed private tracker scrape URL generation when the passkey follows /announce/.
  • Network: Repaired sendEventToTracker return logic so it correctly registers successful updates and initiates periodic background timer ticks.
  • UI: Resolved silent StackOverflowException crash due to asynchronous updateCounters infinite fallback loops on exception.
  • UI: Fixed bug in SetPrecision crashing the app when parsing highly precise fractional ratios with native culture decimal separators (e.g. 2.9E-5).

[1.0.4] - 2026-01-18

Fixed

  • UI: Fixed an issue where newly added clients (qBittorrent 5.1.2, uTorrent 3.6.0) were not visible in the client selection list (Fixes #2, Fixes #3).

[1.0.3] - 2026-01-18

Fixed

  • Network: Fixed HTTPS tracker connections on .NET 8 by integrating SslStream support.
