Software Update: qBittorrent 3.4.0 Beta 2

A second beta release of qBittorrent version 3.4.0 has been released. This open source torrent client has versions for Windows, Linux, macOS and FreeBSD, and shows no ads. The program is with Qt developed and based on libtorrent (raster bar) and boost. The program is the brainchild of French student Christophe Dumez, who has been working on it since March 2006. Today it is maintained by the community.

In beta 3.4.0, which will receive version 4.0 if it is declared stable, support for Qt 4 has been dropped and at least version 5.5.1 is now required.
