v2.6.7 - BitTorrent Client Identity Controls

on GitHub

Breaking Changes

• BitTorrent sessions now identify as qBittorrent 5.2.3 by default. Integrators that require the previous aria2-next identity must explicitly set bt-user-agent and bt-peer-id-prefix.

Summary

Aria2 Next 2.6.7 improves compatibility with trackers that enforce supported BitTorrent client identities. The release provides standalone binaries for Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android, together with SHA-256 checksums.

Added

• Added the global bt-user-agent option for the native libtorrent tracker and extension-handshake identity.
• Added the global bt-peer-id-prefix option for the native libtorrent peer ID prefix.
• Exposed both identity settings through CLI, configuration files, and global RPC options.

Changed

• The default BitTorrent identity now matches the stable qBittorrent 5.2.3 profile: qBittorrent/5.2.3 with peer ID prefix -qB5230-.
• Peer extension handshakes use the native libtorrent fallback to the configured User-Agent, matching qBittorrent behavior.
• Removed unreferenced legacy test fixtures and low-value utility tests from the maintained test target.
