This version paves the way for converting Python programs into stand-alone executables with enhanced compatibility and features.
   • Astroid Evolution to 3.0.1: In its continuous quest for a fortified code foundation, the update in astroid—a critical static reasoning library—vouches for more profound code insights, ensuring a cleaner and more robust codebase.
   • pip Ascends to 23.3: The lifeblood of Python package management, pip’s upgrade ensures a smoother, more secure package installation experience, catering to the latest Python packages available in the ecosystem.

Here’s the Cool Part: Advanced Features for Developers! 🛠️

We know many of you love to tinker and integrate tools into your own apps. Telluride provides a nifty JSON functionality. Run it with the --meta-only argument, and it will print out a neat JSON dictionary packed with all the metadata available for a video from a given URL.

This is a fantastic feature for devs looking to show download links or implement downloading functionalities in their apps. Your app can simply read this JSON output and make magic happen!

The FrostWire team is excited to announce the latest version of its popular peer-to-peer file sharing application for Android – FrostWire 2.7.0. This release is brimming with upgrades, improvements and fixes that enhance the application’s overall performance, security and reliability.

Performance Improvements

FrostWire 2.7.0 features a range of performance improvements. In this build, we’ve updated our underlying libtorrent library to version 1.2.19.0, offering better functionality and performance.

In terms of uTP performance, multiple updates have been made to optimize the system. These improvements prevent premature timeouts/resends, allow one outstanding undersized packet, piggy-back held back undersized packet with ACKs, and put a stop to sending redundant deferred ACKs.

These enhancements are aimed at making your file-sharing experience smoother and faster.

Boost and OpenSSL Upgrades

Boost has been upgraded to version 1.82, and OpenSSL to 1.1.1t, bringing in better security and system reliability. OpenSSL upgrades in particular bring enhanced cryptography features, making your connections more secure than ever.

New Build Tools and SDKs

We’ve also upgraded the build tools and SDKs we use.

Gradle has been updated to version 8.1.1, and the application’s jar is now built with jdk20.

We’ve also updated the Android NDK to r25c (LTS) from r25b for more efficient native code development.

Additional SDK updates include com.applovin:applovin-sdk to version 11.9.0, com.google.android.material:material to version 1.9.0, com.applovin.mediation:unityads-adapter to 4.7.1.0, and org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk8 to 1.8.21. These upgrades will enhance the app’s functionality and improve its user interface.

More Robust Python Runtime Initialization

The Python runtime initialization is now more robust, with race condition issues being fixed.

This allows for smoother operations and fewer interruptions during use.

Improved Search and Fixing Issues

The SoundCloud search function has been fixed, ensuring a more streamlined user experience. This release also includes several fixes for the libtorrent, including issues with odd piece sizes, stop-when-ready not closing files, accounting for wanted_done/done when force-rechecking, renaming of filenames that are too long for the filesystem, and more.

FrostWire 2.7.0 for Android is more secure, faster, and more reliable. It’s time to upgrade and enjoy the best FrostWire experience yet!
