In 2017, BitTorrent, Inc. released the BitTorrent v2 protocol specification.[7][8] BitTorrent v2 is intended to work seamlessly with previous versions of the BitTorrent protocol. The main reason for the update was that the old cryptographic hash function, SHA-1 is no longer considered safe from malicious attacks by the developers, and as such, v2 uses SHA-256. To ensure backwards compatibility, the v2 .torrent file format supports a hybrid mode where the torrents are hashed through both the new method and the old method, with the intent that the files will be shared with peers on both v1 and v2 swarms. Another update to the specification is adding a hash tree to speed up time from adding a torrent to downloading files, and to allow more granular checks for file corruption. In addition, each file is now hashed individually, enabling files in the swarm to be deduplicated, so that if multiple torrents include the same files, but seeders are only seeding the file from some, downloaders of the other torrents can still download the file. In addition, file hashes can be displayed on tracker, torrent indexing services, to search for swarms by searching for hashes of files contained in them. These hashes are different from the usual SHA-256 hash of files and can be obtained using tools.[9] Magnet links for v2 also support a hybrid mode to ensure support for legacy clients.[10]
The color photo captioned, "Lembert Dome, roche moutonnée" and credited to LAURENCE PARENT is of Lembert Dome, a distinct rock formation that fills almost half of the photo. It slopes up gently then steeply drops from right to left, showing the path the glaciers took. Nearly totally smooth and exposed, two little patches of trees stand out near the top. The rock is a variation of light and dark grey hues that rises above the jagged treeline. The river in the foreground shows a reflection of those trees. The muted yellow grasses on the bank of the river at the lower right are a balanced contrast to the wispy clouds with bits of blue sky peeking through in the upper left of the frame.
The cutout image, captioned "Chickaree" and credited to Roberta Stacy, shows the front half of a bi-colored chickaree squirrel, (Tamiasciurus douglasii) peeking out to the right, from behind a grey roughly-textured tree trunk. The upper half of the head, neck, and body is a rusty brown with bits of black on the forehead, cheeks and nose, while the bottom half is grey. The little-clawed paws of its two front limbs are grasping the tree, while the body and head stretch forward, nose pointing out as if it smells something. Its large walnut-shaped eyes are open wide and surrounded by a ring of white.
From the 3-way intersection, Southside Drive continues past Housekeeping camp, where rustic lodging, a small grocery store, laundry facilities, showers, and restrooms are available. Across the street is the Yosemite Conservation Heritage Center, which offers a library, education exhibits, and family programs. There is a 4-way intersection where Southside Drive and Northside Drive intersect. Half Dome Village is to the south, which offers lodging, food, restrooms, showers, parking, and a gift shop. Further east of Half Dome Village is where the Lower Pines, North Pines, and Upper Pines Campgrounds are located.

Take a look at our model with two different skyboxes applied; just that little adjustment changes the atmosphere completely! The generic Enscape sky is a nice backdrop by itself, but if you have a specific location in mind for the building, using a skybox can transport your client there with one click. Even if you are not aiming to represent a specific location, you can use skyboxes to lend a certain atmosphere to the rendering. Use a forest skybox for a more intimate, rustic feeling, or any residential street to ground the scene in reality.
