Originally, it was just a wrapper for libtorrent::torrent_handle class, so it mimicked its name.
It was then transformed into a more complex aggregate, but the name was retained (just by inertia).
Unlike libtorrent::torrent_handle class in whose name "handle" means the pattern used,
it does not matter for qBittorrent classes and just eats up space in the source code.
The basic idea is we create a version header template at
"src/base/version.h.in" and the build systems are expected to replace
strings that are enclosed with @ symbols and generate
"src/base/version.h" for other source files to consume/include.
- Bump minimum required version and
make use of more modern language features
- Rely more on target_...() commands to establish dependency
relationships between targets rather than directory property commands
- Improve libtorrent package discovery
- Enable and handle application features more explicitly
- Improve user-facing output
- Fix various compilation issues on Windows (MSVC and MinGW) and macOS
- Improve handling of translations
- Add explanatory comments where relevant
- Make CMake scripts fully independent of qmake files/details
- Remove old functions/macros
Qt 5.14 introduced new feature related to HighDPI screens support,
this parameter is called "scale factor rounding policy", and it is
intended to improve fractional scale factor support (like 150%).
Qt::PassThrough value guarantee that no any rounding will applied to
scale factor, and will be used as is.
Set Qt::AA_EnableHighDpiScaling application attribute when Qt 5.14.x or
newer is used. This fixes a lot of scaling issues on HiDPI displays.
Unfortunately, this flag must be set only before QApllication object
creation, so the only one place where it can be done is main().
1. Use unified function names `initInstance()` and `freeInstance()` and
make them public.
2. Add `freeInstance()` to avoid noise from memory leak detectors.
3. Let `instance()`return a pointer directly to avoid unnecessary
indirections when invoking functions.
When the CMake system was last revamped, the configure variable was
changed from WEBUI to DISABLE_WEBUI, but we are still checking
against WEBUI. This behavior was changed in fa770871e9
