Packaging¶
Upgrade considerations¶
Deluge 2.0 is not compatible with Deluge 1.x clients or daemons so these will require upgrading too. Also third-party Python scripts may not be compatible if they directly connect to the Deluge client and will need migrating.
Always make a backup of your config before a major version upgrade to guard against data loss.
Translations may not be as up-to date so please help out, see translations page.
Plugins written for Deluge 1.3 will need upgrading for Deluge 2.0, due to the requirement of Python 3 and GTK3 UI. There is a update plugin document to help Plugin authors update their plugins.
