FYI, qbittorrent 3.3.8+ will not build with the version of
libtorrent-rasterbar currently in Debian (1.1.1), so any upgrade past
3.3.7 is blocked until 1.1.2 (released upstream two weeks ago) is
packaged.

Your best option at the moment is probably to file a wishlist bug for
libtorrent-rasterbar, asking for 1.1.2.

Yes, qbittorrent compiles both with 1.0 and 1.1 (there are many
checks against LIBTORRENT_VERSION_NUM throughout the code), but from
what I understand, not much testing has been done with the 1.1 branch
yet.  Hence the various issues listed at [1].

Upstream once stated in this issue that they would switch after 1.1.2
was released, so maybe we'll hear good news soon.  Until then, consider
yourself a beta tester.  :)


(Me, I've re-compiled 3.3.11 against libtorrent 1.0.  Best of both
worlds.  Packages are available on my website, if anyone is interested.)
