Migrate from update-alternatives to libalternatives (bsc#1219107).
Please check the BugZilla ticket for more information.
transmission is a particularly good package for this migration, as
it's a binary package with some man pages.
I've tested it and it works quite well, just as well as the package
was working when using update-alternatives, but let's see if OpenQA
finds anything.
Thanks.

sometimes malformed.
+ Fixed a bug that prevented editing the query part of a tracker

- Poor speed and some checksums being incorrectly marked as
failed in somes torrents.
- Beachballing / jank.
- Blocklists using more memory than necessary.

+ Added many performance improvements, and numerous bugfixes.

now use the RPC API "table" mode, resulting in smaller payloads
/ less bandwidth use.
+ Added support for GTK 4, and both Qt5 and Qt6.
+ The GTK client has been ported to gtkmm.
+ New Features:
- Support for using BitTorrent v2 and hybrid torrents.
- Users can now set "default" trackers that can be used to
announce all public torrents.
- Newly-added seeds can start immediately and verify pieces on
demand now.
- Added an option to omit potentially-identifying information
(e.g. User-Agent and date created) when creating new
torrents.
- The Web client has been rewritten and now supports mobile
use.
- When creating new torrents, users can now specify the piece
size.
- IPv6 blocklists are now supported.
- Dozens of other new features.

detection on some systems.

libcurl was used.

- Added mime icons to the torrent list.
- Improved theme consistency across the app.
- Port build system from Autotools to CMake: replace libtool build
requirement with cmake and ninja; replace Autotool macros with
CMake's.
- Add explicit build requirement on CMake modules: Qt5Gui,
Qt5LinguistTools, Qt5Network, Qt5Svg, and Qt5Widgets.
- Drop libqt5-linguist-devel, now that its CMake module is being
used instead.
- Use our own libdeflate as build requirement instead of the
bundled one.
- Replace openssl-devel with the more reliable pkgconfig(openssl).
- Replace intltool build requirement with gettext-tools.
- Replace glib-2.0 and gtk+-3.0 with giomm-2.68, glibmm-2.68, and
gtkmm-4.0 pkgconfig modules following code base switch from C to
C++.
- Drop libappindicator3-devel build requirement. AppIndicator is no
longer supported.
- Drop fdupes build requirement/macro. There isn't duplicate files
anymore.
- Drop no longer needed %desktop_database_post and
%icon_theme_cache_post macros targeted at pre-Leap openSUSE/SUSE
releases.
- Drop no longer needed patches:
transmission-hybrid-torrent-length.patch, and
transmission-3.00-openssl-3.patch.
- Refresh harden_transmission-daemon.service.patch patch with
Quilt.
- Drop transmission-qt.desktop source file favoring the one
provided by upstream.
