Changes in Tixati version 3.17:

• Download piece creation is limited if over 100 pieces total in all torrents are pending save to disk
• Fixed problems with right-click tray menu positioning on Windows builds
• When using OS Defaults color scheme, rich-text views now show expected background
• Pasting multiline text into chat on Linux/GTK builds is now formatted correctly
• Fixed character spacing problems when rendering bold text in tree/list views on Windows builds
• Fixed problems copying text from a chat room, usernames are now encoded correctly and displayed without hash string
• The HTTPS layer that powers the WebUI has had several minor fixes to prevent premature connection abort when transferring larger files
• Added gzip/deflate/brotli response compression to WebUI connections
• Shortcut Ctrl-V now works in more places in the program to paste magnets links, and will now automatically flip to transfers view
