#### Motrix 2.0.0-beta.27

English | [简体中文](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/blob/v2.0.0-beta.27/docs/release-notes/2.0.0-beta.27.zh-CN.md)

Motrix 2.0.0-beta.27 enables protected beta releases to publish verified
`amd64` and `arm64` Snap builds to the Snap Store, adds GeoIP support to the
Headless Server, and improves aria2 behavior, Windows integration, typography,
packaging, and desktop details. It is intended for public distribution only
after every protected release gate passes.

##### Highlights

- Protected stable and beta tags now build, verify, and upload one complete
  two-architecture Snap set before releasing its exact revisions to
  `latest/edge`. Pull requests and manual runs remain build-only, and
  `candidate` or `stable` promotion continues to reuse the already verified
  revisions.
- The Headless Server now exposes the same GeoIP and peer queries as the
  Electron app, forwards GeoIP events, closes the manager cleanly during
  shutdown, and prints a copyable Server URL when it starts. Its Add Task
  dialog now follows the desktop layout and animation behavior
  ([#1986](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/pull/1986)).
- aria2 runtime defaults are aligned across new and existing profiles, while
  BitTorrent preview and file-selection behavior more consistently follows the
  task's authoritative metadata
  ([#1982](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/pull/1982)).
- New HTTP downloads now honor the active performance profile's connection
  count instead of overriding it with five connections
  ([#1989](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/issues/1989)).
- The Files inspector now restores indexed single-file torrent names, refreshes
  live progress, and preserves the display order of bracketed file names
  ([#1991](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/issues/1991),
  [#1992](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/issues/1992)).
- The Info Hash copy action now copies the raw hash. Selecting SOCKS5 no longer
  sends an unsupported proxy option to the download engine, while app-update
  and tracker proxy scopes remain available
  ([#1990](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/issues/1990),
  [#1994](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/issues/1994)).
- The development runner now uses `cross-spawn`, allowing `pnpm start` to
  resolve its child command correctly on Windows
  ([#1981](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/issues/1981)).
- Windows 11 default-app detection now prefers `UserChoiceLatest`, the CLI
  refreshes its Node path discovery, and concurrent directory-picker requests
  no longer open duplicate native dialogs
  ([#1967](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/pull/1967),
  [#1973](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/pull/1973)).
- Cross-platform font fallbacks now preserve bundled Inter text while choosing
  appropriate native CJK fonts for the active platform and locale
  ([#1972](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/pull/1972)).
- Server artifacts now include the Motrix license, and the desktop preserves
  its window title while exposing favicon and Apple touch icons
  ([#1983](https://github.com/agalwood/Motrix/pull/1983)).

##### Before testing

This is prerelease software. Back up 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. Do not rely on this beta for your only copy of important
downloads.

After the protected release completes, Snap testers can install the strictly
confined build with `sudo snap install motrix --edge`. Verify that normal
downloads, removable media, and browser Native Messaging integration behave as
expected. Existing installations tracking `latest/edge` should upgrade to the
same beta.27 revision set.

##### Planned downloads after release gates pass
