Shareaza v2.3.1.0 Final

0 comments
Shareaza can connect to up to 4 separate Peer-to-Peer networks, providing access to hundreds of thousands of diverse users, all from one single program. You can download/upload from these networks: EDonkey2000, Gnutella, BitTorrent and Gnutella2 (G2).
  • Much better connectivity to all networks, with the most problems solved for Gnutella and eD2K.
  • More stability of the client, with less crashes, freezes and memory leaks.
  • Easier to set-up routers with Universal Plug&Play (UPnP).
  • Transparancy with ALT+UP/DOWN arrow to see what's happening behind the window (It is the easter egg).
  • A vastly improved skinning engine for more impressive skins.
  • Ability to search by BTIH over G2.

Changelog Shareaza 2.3.1.0 Final:
- This is a bug fix release version. Some optimizations were made, Win9x support was reviewed and serious bugs were fixed. It's the last version of Shareaza with Win9x support.
- All users are urged to upgrade to this version because of very important security fixes.

eMule v0.48a beba v1.7 by Tuxman

eMule 0.48a beba 1.7 [the big bang edition]:

Bang bang, happy new year! Some improvements, some fixes... hell!
I tried to satisfy all of your wishes, including a quite simple, switchable Release Bonus implementation and MoNKi's automatic shared files reloader. However, beba still ain't a releaser mod, so you still won't get any PowerShare, PowerRelease or something.
(I hereby urge all future beta testers to tell me that they actually test. Just to keep an overview.)

* December 31, 2007

[*]- added: Automatic shared files updater [MoNKi/Stulle, Tuxman]
[*]- added: Relative Priority [Avi3k, Tuxman]
[*] * sets multiple files' download priorities according to their source count
[*]- added: Release Bonus [sivka/Stulle, Tuxman]
[*]- improved: Kad anti-fragmenting [NetFinity]
[*]- improved: nodes.dat update now triggers automatically when needed [taz]
[*]- improved: rearranged source details window, showing full client version now [Tuxman]
[*]- improved: some stuff around the new Kad keyword cleanup [Tuxman]
[*]- fix: "Completed" display precision fix [fox88/taz]
[*]- fix: eMule sent BSOBs where it should use UINT64 [NetFinity]
[*]- fix: FDC slider wasn't disabled when calling beba prefs with inactive FDC [Tuxman]
[*]- fix: "Find all sources" didn't take care of the AHL [Spike2]
[*]- fix: "Obfuscation padding length" is now in the right group :/ [Tuxman]
[*]- fix: possible null pointer exception in ServerListCtrl.cpp [fox88]
[*]- fix: prefs tree bug in PPgTweaks.cpp [TimDzang]
[*]- fix: server sockets are deleted correctly [NetFinity]
[*]- fix: small ResString fix in WebServer.cpp [ducho]
[*]- changed: revamped beba prefs dialog [Tuxman]
[*]- changed: some icons and some menu stuff [some Tuxman]
