Version History

Version #	Date	Added and fixed
1.4	7/25/05	Tweaks so downloads should be much faster. updated zlib Fixed some horde stuff Fixed being blacklisted by donkey servers made speed rates more accurate when you connected to a server it set your priority to Normal can mouse multiple select trees that allow drag / drop (shared, media, etc) changed some default widths Blacklists get auto-updated turning off horde would leave the yellow box sometimes should stop multiple donkeys from showing up if you launch them quickly upload priorities management changed a bit Friends don't auto-connect on click, you have to double click or choose "View Folders" from context menu
1.3	6/24/05	NAT Traversal. It is now possible for two unreachable guys to make a connection. This should increase speeds for everyone since now unreachable guys can transfer directly to each other. UPnP support. You should automatically become reachable if your router supports UPnP. It can be disabled in options. upnp command to force UPnP test Loading broken old style mets from weird bad clients Small bugfixes System Icons on files in donkey Fixed small file transfer bug (source would think it was transferring even when it didn't have it) CIDR format only blacklist, should be faster now as well. Fixed crash on startup if layout.xml was corrupt Improved source getting eDonkey Network enabled by default now
1.2	5/24/05	Catalog tab. Catalog search Completely server friendly now. Implemented lugdunum search stuff, can now search for version strings better (like 1.3.2) and can search for exact file names (if put in quotes, like 'edonkey1.1.13.exe' or "edonkey1.1.13.exe") probably fixed random "zlib must be used and not just advertised" bug Implemented lugdunum compressed tags stuff small bug fixes changed completing downloads progress text updated QT fixed some donkey publishing issues put spaces after right aligned text in trees to improve readability allowing donkey only searches (before if it wasn't a valid overnet search, it wouldn't do anything) made more strings translatable upload slot management changed fixed crash related to converting old style parts (crash on startup on some systems) searching for a quoted term will create a specific substring filter on that keyword (only the whole word) "edonkey 0.52" will only give results that have "edonkey 0.52" as a substring exactly it will not match 'edonkey version 0.52' for instance. also this doesn't work on individual terms like edonkey "1.1.14 is the best" won't work, but "edonkey 1.1.14 is the best" will changed how search tabs look, now using the entire typed string, but using a different color for the keyword used by overnet for searching publishing algorithm tweaked made .bak files work better to fight corrupt .met (etc) files should protect against bad plugins better added 'clear' command to console to clear it made friend links reduced cpu usage during hashing when listing dirs with large files, more responsive Can now translate metatag names (columns in search results) Fixed some crashes Unicode ed2k links should work better on windows
1.1	3/09/05	Simplified and improved horde. Downloads should be faster once many people are on this version. There is now a black list to which you can add various IPs that attempt to hurt the network. Limits number of half open TCP connections to work with XP sp2 Skins: Made more things translatable Not allowing names with all spaces (or no names) Fixed some memory leaks Server list wasn't being updated when you do "Get List" Can connect to firewalled dudes better Search: Download disabled when nothing selected Console command to enable/disabled ed2k works and synced with gui Assorted bugfixes Search: From / To colors loads off skins correctly Server option "Ignore Incoming Server Lists" If you don't connect to overnet in 45 seconds, pop up connect dialog. Plugins: Could crash if sending command to mediator when shutting down. If you closed the app while maximized, it would lose the state of the window before the max on restart. Status should sort correctly now. Changed Add Friends shortcut to Ctrl + Plus key "Dancing sources" bug should be fixed . Only UI started deletes go to recycle bin, system deletes really delete. Renaming shouldn't be interrupted anymore LSASS.exe using a lot of cpu issue should be fixed. Ignoring files > 4 Gigs completely. Fixed weird sorting issue where first column wouldn't sort sometimes. Limiting number of download sources ignores gone sources now Disallowing searches when you aren't connected to a network Sorts by avail by default Animated overnet connecting icon Shouldn't flash More unicode file fixes (should fix not uploading sometimes) Packaging new EasyPreview plugin for previewing movies and archive (zip,rar,iso) files Pro Password hidden again Skins: Large width backgrounds won't make the app huge. Transparencies should work better When downloads getting attention, just flashes, doesn't take focus or popup. Corruption handling should be a lot better now Columns won't stick resizing when the banner changes. Stats: Can limit maximum y axis value You can set whether or not you want memory buffered files Remembers previously sorted columns so you can sort like 0.53 did. Downloads: You can right click on warning icon and tell it to hide Setting font in ui.xml is handled better
1.0	8/04/04	Combined Overnet and eDonkey2000 into one application. Switched from MFC to Qt. Mac OS X version now available. Better support for other protocols. Much improved graphing and statistics. Fake file detection. Many UI changes. Lower CPU load. Changed shared tab layout Now downloads first and last chunk first Can copy plain ed2k links More flexible skining Improved zlib server support RAM buffered uploads/downloads Improved plugin support Unicode support New media tab with user definable categories
0.53	4/14/04	Many internal changes to share code with kdrive Much improved plugin SDK Fixed looping download Upload ratio changed. Now your upload must be set to at least 20KB/s to get unlimited download. You can now fix the number of upload slots instead of letting it dynamically determine. Creates less load on the servers. Lots of smaller improvements
0.52	11/21/03	zlib Server support Support for other protocols. Any one can now plugin any type of other download protocol. Gnutella, Fastrack, bittorrent, etc. Sources can be limited per download. See Options \| Advanced vq command changed, new options (none) just the number on queue, verbose old output, summary list of files and a number of people on queue Win98 Crash on exit fixed "banner" command expanded. Now sends us an email with the contents of the file in question so we can fix it easier. Use this on banners which violate our policies (roll overs, sounds, etc) columns will expand with a tooltip to show hidden data on mouse over if enabled (advanced) Media Player Disabled loading of the player at startup due to random crashes with certain combinations of settings. Drag and drop onto the image to load up WMP (also saves on ram when not using it) Stats Can clear global uptime Fixed some random crashes
0.51	10/13/03	Availability more reliable Publishing your location more often Lower network overhead Fixed never completing bug Added 'banner' command so you can see the banner id of ads that are throwing popups. If you send us this number we can stop them. Safe Mode. Press F8 on client startup to allow the app to reset to minimal settings if you can't start up Upload Slot management better Dealing with malformed ui.xml files better. Uptime stats shows more info Take ed2k links now works better You can click on embedded links in the console now (launches in external window) HTTP links now recognized if not exactly "http://", like "HtTp://" Various random crash fixes added option to change drawing style of progress bar Flat style download progress bar (looks like a regular progress bar) removed option to save corrupt files (old style parts) change with save command if needed Drag and drop headers enabled You can right click on headers to hide/show columns Minimizing to tray from maximized app (if taskbar on top), would result in weird stuff. fixed Server Page updated as number of users and pings come in Publish stats implemented Publishes/hour stats removed Number of partners added to connections graph Overhead stats would get messed up sometimes, should be fixed. Auto-scroll/no-scroll detection better in the console Advanced options added for advanced users Setting graph to update while not visible immediately starts graph updating Flash on complete. Flashes the application when a download completes Default settings changed. Simple progress and download percentage now on by default. UI updates the ability to set Highest priority correctly now Added ability to add sources to a download through context menu option F2 key now renames files Added ability to disable horde for "powersharers" Old priorities not lost on quit/restart Old priorities saved when switching around highest Incoming searches sorted in real time ReTyping a search will filter existing results. The searches are based on the first keyword. Typing "red" will give you searches on "red", then typing "red house" will only show matches that work on both (filters existing list as well). Retyping "red" will show you all your old results. The current filter is shown in the search tab. Added control + w hotkey to close tabs Filtered out extraneous info sent by some clients (part trans, tempfilename, etc) Filtered out extraneous info sent by some clients (part trans, tempfilename, etc) Totally new shared tab. My Files -> your files sorted into categories incomplete files are grey, complete files are black My Computer -> basically the old shared tab tree Media Player -> play your finished files (for partial files, use a plugin) Edit the ui.xml to change what is displayed in the media player on startup (sound, image, movie, etc) if you wish You can disable media player by going to Options \| Advanced \| Disable media player Drag and Drop support. Drag folders (not files) in to share them. Drag files out to move them to where you drop them. Drag media files (or double click) onto the media player to play them. Sometimes directory list was forgotten, should be fixed Pausing all files for a given source would sometimes force you to wait longer than it should Sometimes downloading very small files wouldn't work Sometimes canceling a download wouldn't select the next highest priority Fixed a bunch of scroll bar problems Clear completed greyed out if no files are complete If wizard can't show, error msg shows up
0.50.1	8/14/03	Fixed a bug with loading old style temp files.
0.50	8/12/03	Partner with people in the meantime if they ask you Don't bother to ask full sources to partner with you Support for other download protocols User friendlier searching Clients notify each other when they are misreporting their IP. Fixed leaving bits of the temp file around Introduced a delay before you test for firewall Downloader should call uploader very very rarely to make sure nothing has gone wrong Shouldn't continue to look for peeps after all the file has been requested Write contact.dat to disk every hour. Sources show which parts you are asking for (green) Losing icons (gray buttons) bug finally fixed App loads saved user/pass from installer now If downloads ran outta disk space, stats graph would show a frozen d/l value, now goes to zero Tagged last time you saw a complete file Graph options now in ui.xml Moved most every string to ui.xml XML allows decimal escape chars now @ => A, etc etc Trees can set Text color (and subtext color) Firewalled Dialog Whole new ed2k link thingy Http source downloading Creating backups of met files, if something horrible goes wrong, rename the .bak to the .met and try again. This should also stop corruptions of the .mets from happening on crashes. Rename option for files you are downloading
0.49	6/17/2003	New Horde download system Many crash bugs fixed Priority sorted correctly Search tabs now show filtered results in tab (should decrease confusion) You can now paste multiple ed2k links from the clipboard Commands starting with "q" don't quit the app Cursor moved to end of command when history used If a part is missing, it will always show up in the progress bar (there were instances where it would disappear depending on the bar length) Tree stuff is correctly clipped if the first column width is made too small. Gone sources are only shown when you are in verbose mode Tree column widths saved Console output now doesn't scroll when you're looking at the history A folder is created for each new download that organizes all of the associated parts. New style parts are migrated to this style at startup. If you complete and a corruption is found, it will re queue the download and try and get the corrupt part. (new style parts only!) ed2K links: Files over 2GB sizes are correct now Ports greater than 32876 are now shown correctly
0.48	4/21/2003	fixed a lot of crashes fixed dllink in the command line client Support for up to 4 Gb files implemented fixed a bug causing it to wait to ask sources don't say a file is corrupt when we don't have the part hashes yet fixed the 64 connection limit bug fixed hang in the program If you disable a plugin, and there is a plugin of the same named already disabled, it will give your plugin a random name and disable it. Console: Command history thing (press up/down key) Download: Sometimes "add to friend" and "send message" were greyed out when they shouldn't be. Download: Time sorted correctly now
0.47	4/03/2003	Upload Queue maintenance changed to require less connections Upload Queue saved Fixed problem of getting firewalled status when you are really open. Fixed bug when asking for the multiple files from the same person Fixed problem publishing shared files to the server Drops connections that are idling when max connections reached Sources saved if they are gone and when you pause a file Download view Select all improved Buttons Tooltips were disappearing when you clicked on the buttons More results fixed for servers Some optimizations to reduce CPU Connections listed in status bar Tightened up the different stats distances Server List sorted correctly again (on startup) Got rid of pause in Get Servers dialog Friends Double click views dirs/files Removed "flash" when you view dirs List is stable now (won't "forgot" which folders you had expanded when new results come in, etc) Graph options Max set to ~10,000 mins = 1 week Plugins Multiple plugins now work (sorry guys) Catching crashy plugins and disabling New plugin base classes (ISharedHandler2, ISearchHandler) Transfer, friends Auto resizing double click headers Lingering process bug should be solved. UI.xml Will place version comments to help skin writers know what changed from version to version Menus Re-arranged a bunch of menus (PLEASE FIX YOUR UI.XML OR ELSE EVERYTHING WILL BREAK!) Delete now moves files to recycle bin Run re-added to download view Headers Sometimes the arrows would be cut off (ID in Friends list) Search Clicking on tabs fills in the search box with the text Individual tabs now remember their sorting preferences Console echo command will work with multi word things now (for plugin writers)
0.46	3/18/2003	Download in parts rather than one large file. Fixed problem of transfer ending with the slowest source. Version 0.2 of the plugin API created and implemented. You can now see download source speeds. Minimum hard drive space free option. Pauses downloads when less than this amount of space is free. Delete now moves files into the recycle bin Graphs can render in various styles XP Styles works in all controls now Weird chars no longer pollute other columns Limit the number of message windows you can receive
0.45	2/17/2003	New Statistics page Right click and choose "More info" for extended information about files/users/etc Upload Queue is now a n-way stop sign. Each file has its own queue. The first person of each file's queue is taken in succession. Upload Slots are assigned and dropped more intelligently ON overhead reduced Control + A selects all in views now Control + 1-8 switches between the tabs (1=home, 2=search, etc) Clear menu item added to context menu UI.xml: All tabs now have an offset value, which allows space at the top. This lets the "tabbed" nature be consistent across the views. Statistics added to various tabs downloading files from friends adds them as a source immediately Shared Right click : Open folder, opens containing folder
0.44	1/28/2003	All the changes as a result of developing Overnet.
