## Peer-ID
From version 0.80 onward, Transmission's peer-id is formatted in Azureus' style with one digit for the major version, two digits for the minor version and one character to denote a stable release (`0`), nightly build (`Z`) or prerelease beta (`X`). For example:
  * `-TR1330-` &mdash; Official 1.33 release
  * `-TR133Z-` &mdash; Nightly build between 1.33 and 1.34
  * `-TR133X-` &mdash; Beta release of 1.34

Rationale: This differentiates between official and unofficial releases in a way which is easy for trackers to detect with simple string comparison. An official release (`-TR1330-`) is lexicographically smaller than its post-release unsupported versions (`-TR133Z-` and `-TR133X-`), which in turn are lexicographically smaller than the next official release (`-TR1340-`).

Before 0.80, versions of Transmission used two digits for the major version and two for the minor version. For example, `-TR0072-` was Transmission 0.72.

## User-Agent
Its User-Agent header follows a similar format, plus the VCS revision in parentheses:
  * Transmission/1.30X (6416) &mdash; Beta release leading up to version 1.30
  * Transmission/1.32 (6455) &mdash; Official 1.32 release
  * Transmission/1.32+ (6499) &mdash; Nightly build between 1.32 and 1.33
Improve the documentation (#2900) * Unify the line endings to the Unix style (LF only). * Fix (where possible) or remove broken links. * Improve the documentation. Fix or remove broken links (depending on whether I could find a working version of the resource). Change all links to use HTTPS instead of HTTP. Unify the capitalizations (e.g. uppercase abbreviations, capitalize proper names and downcase other words). Fix or improve some parts of the text, clarifying what is meant. Improve some parts of the program examples (e.g. only use root privileges where really required). 2022-04-11 17:38:32 +00:00			`## Peer-ID`
