Transmission 1.80 released with "Improved IPv6 support" ... still no IPv6 webinterface

Bittorrent client Transmission version 1.80 has been released. The release notes (http://trac.transmissionbt.com/wiki/Changes#version-1.80) say "Improved IPv6 support" ... what would that mean? My hope is of course that the webinterface of Transmission is now IPv6-enabled.

Ubuntu Lucid Lynx (alpha 2) has Transmission 1.80, so I've run Lucid to see if the webinterface is indeed IPv6 enabled ...

But alas: the webinterface is not listening on the IPv6 interface. See tests below; first IPv4 (OK), then IPv6 (no connection).

More waiting before we can access Transmission's webinterface over IPv6. :-(
