Huge huge huge improvements in search performance
If there’s a file indexed by a torrent, no matter how rare it is, it should be able to find it for you.
Not only that, search results for individual files (indexed inside torrent) arrive noticeably faster.
New: Internet Radio
Added new Internet Radio support on the Library tab.
FrostWire is pre-loaded with nearly 600 radio stations out of the box, you can add new stations, bookmark them and sort them by name, url, bit rate, audio file format, and more.
*User Experience Improvements*
We listened to all your user experience complains, being the most important one finding out where your finished downloads were going.
Now when you finish a transfer, you can just double click on it, and all the files downloaded will be shown on the Library tab.
If a transfer contains audio files, you can select it (along with other transfer that also contain audio files) and with the context menu you can send all the included audio files straight to a new playlist or an existing playlist on the library.

Thanks to the beta tester community for the patience and a big applause for the developer team, I think this is truly the best release ever.
