# Transmission 4.0.0-beta.2
## What's New in Transmission 4
* Support for using [BitTorrent v2](http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0052.html) torrents and [hybrid](http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0052.html#upgrade-path) torrents. (Support for _creating_ v2 and hybrid torrents is slated for an upcoming release.)
* 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, instead of needing a full verify before seeding can begin. ([#2626](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/2626))
* Added an option to omit potentially-identifying information (e.g. User-Agent and date created) when creating new torrents. ([#3452](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/3452))
* The Web client has been rewritten and now supports mobile use.
* Added support for GTK 4. ([#3916](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/3916), GTK Client)
* When creating new torrents, users can now specify the piece size. ([#3768](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/3768), [#3145](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/3145), [#2805](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/2805))
* IPv6 blocklists are now supported. ([#3835](https://github.com/transmission/transmission/pull/3835))
