Popcorn Time - update to version 0.3.3

On 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 movies and TV shows using the BitTorrent protocol.
Popcorn Time and attempts to close the project have already been mentioned on Habré ( Popcorn Time: the most convenient program for viewing torrents , Popcorn Time developers disappear one after another , Popcorn Time closed due to “threat of legal prosecution and backstage frauds” , MPAA secured removal of forks Popcorn Time with GitHub ), but Popcorn Time is still alive and actively developed. Who cares what the new version 0.3.3 brought - welcome to cat.
