#### Motrix 2.0.0-beta.13

English | [简体中文](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/blob/v2.0.0-beta.13/docs/release-notes/2.0.0-beta.13.zh-CN.md)

Motrix 2.0.0-beta.13 is the next Motrix Turbo beta intended for public
distribution after every protected release gate passes. It continues public
validation of the rebuilt v2 desktop app and headless server, shared download
core, MDXP integrations, and sandboxed plugin system.

Motrix 2.0.0-beta.12 published its desktop release, update feeds, and immutable
Server images, but its final container verification job did not reach success.
The [beta.12 historical record](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/blob/v2.0.0-beta.13/docs/release-notes/2.0.0-beta.12.md)
preserves the exact public outcome.

##### Release reliability updates

- Retries anonymous signature verification for up to 18 attempts with a
  10-second delay, allowing bounded registry convergence after signing while
  still failing closed if either registry never exposes a valid signature.
- Keeps the exact tag-workflow identity and GitHub OIDC issuer checks on every
  retry; a visible signature from any other identity remains invalid.
- Verifies BuildKit provenance against the exact current repository workflow
  run. The builder attempt must be a positive integer no greater than the
  current run attempt, which supports resumable failed-job retries without
  accepting another repository, workflow run, future attempt, or path suffix.
- Replaces the obsolete generic Docker Buildx builder prefix with the real
  GitHub Actions builder form emitted by the beta.12 multi-architecture image.
- Retains immutable cross-registry digest equality, amd64/arm64 image and
  attestation checks, SPDX SBOM validation, exact source revision, provenance
  completeness, and anonymous runtime smoke tests.
- Publishes beta.13 under new immutable version tags. Existing beta.12 release
  assets and container tags are never overwritten or reused; mutable beta
  update feeds advance only after beta.13 versioned assets publish and their
  public verification succeeds.
- Keeps Windows `x64` packages explicitly unsigned while retaining final
  package verification before release.
- Retains the complete desktop platform-set gate: every desktop target must
  finalize before assembly and every canonical updater manifest must pass
  final verification before publication.

##### Snap beta policy

Snap is not part of the beta.13 distribution. Protected prerelease Snap runs
stop after source validation, so they do not build Snap artifacts, upload Store
revisions, or change `latest/edge`. Stable Snap publication retains its
complete two-architecture verification and protected Store gates.

##### Highlights

- A ground-up desktop rebuild with Electron 43, React 19, and TypeScript 7,
  including a customizable Dashboard, dark mode, a cross-platform application
  menu, and clearer task-inspector feedback.
- One host-neutral download core for both the desktop app and the Node/Web
  Server, with SQLite session recovery, tracker management, UPnP/NAT-PMP, and
  HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, and magnet support.
- MDXP-based integration for the official CLI and browser handoff, including
  local discovery and device-code pairing for remote Server instances.
- A QuickJS plugin sandbox with capability consent, bundled builtin plugins,
  and an in-app plugin marketplace.
- Persistent, multi-architecture Server containers for NAS and home-server
  deployments, published to both Docker Hub and GHCR after the desktop release
  succeeds.

##### Before testing

This is prerelease software. Back up your existing Motrix application data and
downloads before installing it. Migration from Motrix v1 data has not yet been
validated, so do not use your only copy of v1 data with this beta.

When practical, test v2 in parallel using a separate OS account, machine, or
Docker data directory. Please do not rely on this beta for your only copy of
important downloads.

##### What to test

- HTTP, FTP, Bi
