qBittorrent 4.4.0 release notes:
WINDOWS:
- Users of Windows 10+ can also use the Qt6 version of the installer. Qt6 offers better HiDPI compatibility. Known issue: The text on the progress bar may have wrong color or not appear at all. You may switch to the regular version(Qt5 based) until it is resolved. The Qt6 version isn"t tested much. The v4.4.x series will probably be the last one that supports Qt5 and therefore Windows 7 and 8. It will see releases at least until the summer of 2022.
LINUX:
- An AppImage is now offered. It uses the latest versions of Qt6, libtorrent, boost, openssl. It is created on Ubuntu 20.04 and it should work on any other similarly aged distro. It isn"t well tested. Also Ubuntu 20.04 is dropped from the PPAs because it doesn"t have the minimum required Qt5 version (5.15.2). The AppImage should cover any users left on that version.
MACOS:
- Builds will be uploaded in the next days. This entry will be updated to contain relevant info, so check back here too.
