May 2025 delivered a targeted set of UX, privacy, and reliability improvements across torrentpier/torrentpier, alongside release preparation and localization work. Key features include safety enhancements (confirmation on deletion for ranks and smilies), privacy and UI improvements (hide BitTorrent client, hide peer country and username in lists, and hide topics in private forums), and admin/tools improvements (robots.txt editor, page meta description, FreeIP API token usage). Bug fixes address critical reliability issues: correct peer country flag display, fix undefined array key 'smile' when there are no smilies, IPv6 display fix in peers list, and proper rounding in the execution time counter. Release readiness increased with v2.4.5 and RC5 preparation, CHANGELOG updates, and translations updates (Crowdin). Additional quality improvements include Announcer checks for frozen torrents and miscellaneous enhancements across the batch. These changes collectively improve security, privacy, performance, localization, and release readiness, delivering measurable business value by reducing risk, improving user experience, and accelerating release cycles.
