# WebTorrent.app Version History
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
# v0.0.0
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first official release of WebTorrent.app, the streaming torrent client for OS X,
|
||||||
|
Windows, and Linux. For now, we're only releasing binaries for OS X.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
WebTorrent.app is in ALPHA and under very active development – expect lots more polish in
|
||||||
|
the coming weeks! If you know JavaScript and want to help us out, there's
|
||||||
|
[lots to do](https://github.com/feross/webtorrent-app/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+label%3A%22good+first+contribution%22)!

## Features
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
- **Lightweight, fast torrent client**
|
||||||
|
- **Beautiful user experience**
|
||||||
|
- **Instantly stream video and audio** from torrents!
|
||||||
|
- WebTorrent fetches file pieces from the network **on-demand**, for instant playback.
|
||||||
|
- Even when the file is not fully downloaded, **seeking still works!** (Seeking just reprioritizes what pieces are fetched from the network.)
|
||||||
|
- Stream videos to **AirPlay** and **Chromecast**
|
||||||
|
- **Pure Javascript**, so it's very easy to contribute code!
|
||||||
|
- Based on the most popular and comprehensive torrent package in Node.js, [`webtorrent`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/webtorrent).
|
||||||
|
- Lots of **features**, without the bloat:
|
||||||
|
- Opens magnet links and .torrent files
|
||||||
|
- Drag-and-drop makes adding torrents easy!
|
||||||
|
- Seed files/folders by dragging them onto the app
|
||||||
|
- Discovers peers via tracker servers, DHT (Distributed Hash Table), and peer exchange
|
||||||
|
- Make the video window "float on top" for watching video while you work!
|
||||||
|
- Supports WebTorrent protocol – for connecting to WebRTC peers (i.e. web browsers)
