Just in time for the holidays. This release of uTorrent pairs very well with eggnog, cheese logs, red coffee cups, and the N-Sync christmas album. This particular release is also very special because the version number is sequential. A uTorrent stable version number that is sequential is rare and doesn’t happen very often. It is meant to be treasured. It is basically the software equivalent of a blood moon, or Halley’s comet, or a Half Life game.

Moving on.

In this release, we focused on: bug fixes and stability updates. Seriously. We squashed a lot of bugs and stabilized all sorts of things.

Not happy with generic release notes? Well, here are the all the dirty details. Go crazy kids:

• Better use of system resources, improvements to stability
• Improved handling of paid codecs and Antivirus activation for Pro users
• Fixed incorrect accounting of wasted bytes when talking to peers
• Fixed memory leaks in clients
• Users were reporting a UI hang for RSS feeds (right-clicking on item)- fixed this
• Fixed Pro status page rendering
• Fixed a bug that prevented resizing of the left rail

 TL:DR: uTorrent is faster, better and more reliable
