No i2p mode on qBittorrent v4.6.0 Flatpak
Today qBittorrent launched v4.6.0 which should support experimental i2p mode. I downloaded this version as a Flatpak from Flathub, but at Settings -> Connection there is no option for i2p mode. Only to set up a proxy, but SAM is not available as a proxy method which i2p uses. I also checked with the command "flatpak run org.qbittorrent.qBittorrent --version" that I'm indeed on the right version.
Do you have any ideas or similar issues?

Figured it out! You need to get the libretorrent 2 version of qbittorrent 4.6. You can find an AppImage on the Fosshub page. It's the one listen as (lt20). I don't know how to get it in a Flatpak version yet unfortunately.
Yup I noticed that a while back too, the qBittorrent on Flathub seems to be set up to build on Libtorrent 1.2.x

I'm not savvy enough on Linux to really know how to get the qBittorrent + Libtorrent 2.x version in Flatpak form either :/ I guess you'd need to build it yourself, or find a different Flatpak hub that might have that version?
Same for me on the Flatpak version. I tried the appimage and native package too without any luck
