    New version available -> transmission 4.0.4-1~xtradeb1

    Changes:
       * New upstream release.
       * All Platforms
        - Fixed bug in sending torrent metadata to peers.
        - Avoid unnecessary heap memory allocations.
        - Fixed filename collision edge case when renaming files.
        - Fixed locale errors that broke number rounding when displaying statistics,
          e.g. upload / download ratios.
        - Always use a fixed-length key query in tracker announces. This isn't
          required by the spec, but some trackers rely on that fixed length because
          it's common practice by other BitTorrent clients.
        - Fixed potential Windows crash when getstdhandle() returns NULL.
        - Fixed 4.0.0 bug where the port numbers in LDP announces are sometimes
          malformed.
        - Fixed a bug that prevented editing the query part of a tracker URL.
        - Fixed a bug where Transmission may not announce LPD on its listening
          interface.
        - Made small performance improvements in libtransmission.
       * macOS Client
        - Updated code that had been using deprecated API.

        - Fixed bug that broke the "Move torrent file to trash" setting.

        - Fixed poor resolution of Qt application icon.
       * GTK Client
        - Fixed missing 'Remove torrent' tooltip.
       * Web Client
        - Don't show null as a tier name in the inspector's tier list.
        - Fixed truncated play / pause icons.
        - Fixed overflow when rendering peer lists and made speed indicators honor
          prefers-color-scheme media queries.
        - Made the main menu accessible even on smaller displays.
       * transmission-cli
        - Fixed "no such file or directory" warning when adding a magnet link.
        - Fixed bug that caused the wrong decimal separator to be used in some
          locales.
       * transmission-remote
        - Fixed display bug that failed to show some torrent labels.
       * Everything Else
        - Ran all PNG files through lossless compressors to make them smaller.
        - Fixed potential build issue when compiling on macOS with gcc.
