 A fast, unified Rust seeder that serves torrent data over **BitTorrent** (BT wire protocol) and **WebRTC** (RTC data channels) simultaneously — or either one on its own.
 
 BittSeeder handles both protocols from a single binary. Both share the same torrent file, piece data, tracker URL list, and upload counter. You choose the protocol globally or per-torrent via YAML or CLI.

+## Recent Improvements
+
+### v0.1.1 Series Enhancements
+
+#### UI/UX Improvements
+- **Persistent Detail Views**: Torrent detail dropdowns now stay open during real-time stats updates instead of closing every second
+- **Cross-Platform Path Normalization**: All file paths display with forward slashes (`/`) on all operating systems for consistency
+- **Enhanced Dark Mode**: Comprehensive theme support across detail rows, code blocks, expand buttons, and interactive elements
+- **Reorganized Add Torrent Form**: Improved layout with logical field grouping, optimal sizing, and better visual hierarchy
+- **Professional Button Styling**: Modern expand/collapse buttons with smooth animations and proper hover effects
+
+#### Backend Features
+- **Private Torrent Support (BEP-27)**: Create private torrents with a single toggle; the private flag disables DHT and PEX for private trackers
+- **Path Normalization Helper**: Automatic conversion of Windows backslashes to forward slashes in all API responses
+- **Smart Table Updates**: Stats now update via targeted DOM manipulation instead of full table rebuilds for better performance
+
+#### Code Quality
+- **Zero Clippy Warnings**: All code quality issues resolved
+- **Comprehensive Testing**: All test fixtures updated for new features
+- **Type Safety**: Proper handling of `Cow<str>` and `String` types throughout the codebase
+

+### Directory Scanning & File Validation
+
+**Automatic directory scanning:** When a directory is specified in the `file` field, BittSeeder automatically scans it recursively and includes all found files in the torrent.
+
+**Example - Seed a directory:**
+
+```yaml
+torrents:
+  - name: "Movies"
+    file:
+      - /movies/
+    allowed_extensions: ["mp4", "mkv", "avi"]
+    enabled: true
+```
+
+**Example - Mix individual files and directories:**
+
+```yaml
+torrents:
+  - name: "Media Collection"
+    file:
+      - /movies/blockbuster.mp4
+      - /tv-shows/          # Directory - automatically scanned
+      - /music/playlist.m3u
+    allowed_extensions: ["mp4", "mkv", "avi", "mp3", "flac"]
+    enabled: true
+```
+
+**Extension filtering:** Use `allowed_extensions` to only include specific file types when scanning directories:
+
+```yaml
+torrents:
+  - name: "Music Library"
+    file:
+      - /music/
+    allowed_extensions:
+      - "mp3"
+      - "flac"
+      - "wav"
+    enabled: true
+```
 
-> **Protocol resolution order:** per-torrent `protocol` → CLI `--protocol` → YAML `config.protocol` → `both`
+**Automatic file validation:** Files are automatically validated at runtime when seeding starts. BittSeeder checks:
+- ✅ File exists and is readable
+- ✅ File is not empty
+- ✅ File can be opened and read
+- ✅ File data matches torrent piece hashes
+
+If a file or directory listed in `file` does not exist at startup, the entire torrent entry is **skipped gracefully** with a warning logged — BittSeeder continues running and serves all other torrents normally. Fix the path or restore the file, then hot-reload the config to activate the entry.
+
+If validation fails at serve time (e.g. corrupt data), the torrent will not seed and an error is logged indicating which file and/or piece failed validation.
+
+**Source Folder fallback in web UI:** When adding torrents via the web UI, if no Data Path is specified, the system automatically uses the configured Source Folder from Global Settings → Network (the same folder used by Batch Add). This makes it easy to add multiple torrents from the same location.
 > **ICE resolution order:** per-torrent `ice` → YAML `config.rtc_ice_servers` → Google STUN x2
