This update focuses on fixing multiple user interface issues, mostly related to the media player. Libraries were updated, a nasty freeze when opening FrostWire out of a magnet link has finally been fixed, and new linux collaborators have given some love to our codebase.<\/p>\n

\"Screen<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Like on Android, you can now fully stop the player
\n<\/em>by long pressing the Play\/Pause player button.<\/em><\/p>\n

FrostWire now has a new feature in which it tries to detect wether or not you are using a VPN connection to warn you about the possibility of your privacy being at risk.<\/p>\n

We recommend that whenever you are online you connect to the internet using an encrypted VPN connection<\/a> to protect your identity and your privacy.<\/p>\n

Build & Fix FrostWire, get paid in\u00a0Bitcoins immediatly<\/strong>
\nIf you are a developer\/translator\/graphic designer, you should know that now you can earn bitcoins when your patches and contributions are merged to the master branches of our open source projects on github.<\/p>\n

You will automatically receive Bitcoins in your Bitcoin wallet, you just need to have a github<\/a> account and a tip4commit<\/a> account where you can register your Bitcoin wallet address. Payments are sent within minutes of your patches being merged.<\/p>\n

FrostWire Bitcoin donations are being diverted into our main open source projects frostwire-desktop<\/a>, frostwire-android<\/a>, frostwire-common<\/a> and frostwire-jlibtorrent<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Each merged commit gets 1% of what’s left on each fund.<\/p>\n

Preparing for FrostWire 6<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are hard at work on the next generation of FrostWire 6, if you paid attention to the names of our repositories, or if you follow this blog, you may have read about the frostwire-jlibtorrent<\/a> project. We have made a full featured Java wrapper API out of the C++ libtorrent library and the results of our tests have been phenomenal. We’re currently replacing all of our Bittorrent core for one that uses libtorrent and we’re pretty sure you will feel the difference.<\/p>\n

Join the FrostWire Beta Testers group to help us release a steady FrostWire 6.<\/a><\/p>\n
