Popcorn Time - update to version 0.3.3

September 17, 2014, Popcorn Time version 0.3.3 was released - open source software that provides the user with a simple and intuitive interface for streaming watching movies and TV shows using the BitTorrent protocol.
On Habré, Popcorn Time and attempts to close the project have been mentioned many times ( Popcorn Time: the most convenient program for viewing torrents , Popcorn Time developers disappear one by one , Popcorn Time closed due to "the threat of legal persecution and backstage fraud" Popcorn Time with GitHub ), but Popcorn Time is still alive and actively being developed. Who cares what new version 0.3.3 introduced - welcome under cat.

Major changes:

• A large-scale cleanup of the code was carried out and the database format was changed. Because of this, it is possible to reset the database when updating. The developers promise to be more careful next time.

• The source code repository has been moved to its own server, now it is located at http://git.popcorntime.io/
