#### Motrix 2.0.0-beta.14

English | [简体中文](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/blob/v2.0.0-beta.14/docs/release-notes/2.0.0-beta.14.zh-CN.md)

Motrix 2.0.0-beta.14 is the next Motrix Turbo beta intended for public
distribution after every protected release gate passes. It supersedes the
incomplete beta.13 container result without moving or reusing the immutable
`v2.0.0-beta.13` tag.

The [beta.13 historical record](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/blob/v2.0.0-beta.14/docs/release-notes/2.0.0-beta.13.md)
documents the successful desktop and R2 publication and the container failure.

##### Native container publication recovery

- Builds `linux/amd64` on `ubuntu-22.04` and `linux/arm64` on
  `ubuntu-22.04-arm`. Each job verifies the GitHub-hosted Linux runner and its
  native architecture before Buildx starts. The container release path no
  longer installs or invokes QEMU.
- Pushes each successful platform only by its untagged, content-addressed OCI
  digest to Docker Hub and GHCR. A single architecture never receives the
  public version tag and cannot become the official release on its own.
- Inspects the raw per-platform OCI index in both registries, hashes it back to
  the Buildx digest, validates the exact version, source commit, non-root user,
  image manifest, and attestation manifest, and records immutable build
  metadata tied to the exact workflow run and attempt.
- Anonymously pulls the exact staged digest from both registries and runs the
  full Server runtime smoke on its native runner before that platform metadata
  can leave the job.
- Allows one finalize job to proceed only after the complete amd64/arm64 build
  set succeeds. It rejects missing, duplicate, unexpected, cross-wired, or
  future-attempt records before creating the versioned multi-platform index.
- Rechecks both immutable version tags immediately before finalization. A clean
  run creates both indexes from the verified platform digests; a rerun resumes
  an identical complete result or repairs one missing registry from the
  verified existing index. Any conflicting immutable tag fails closed.
- Requires Docker Hub and GHCR to expose the same final index digest, platform
  manifests, and attestation manifests. It also validates max-level BuildKit
  provenance, the exact source revision and builder run, and a non-empty SPDX
  SBOM for both architectures.
- Signs each final index digest with the exact protected tag-workflow identity,
  then verifies both signatures anonymously with a bounded fail-closed wait.
- Runs the full anonymous runtime smoke for the final public index on native
  amd64 and arm64 runners and against both registries. Stable floating aliases
  are handled by a final recovery-safe job only after every build, index,
  signature, provenance, SBOM, anonymous pull, and runtime gate succeeds.
- Beta releases still publish only their immutable version tag; beta.14 does
  not update `latest`, `stable`, or another stable floating alias.

The GitHub prerelease, R2 update feed, container registries, and Snap Store
remain independently gated publication channels. Their individual safety
checks and recovery rules are strict, but this release does not claim
cross-channel atomicity.

##### Snap beta policy

Snap is not part of the beta.14 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
