          CHANGELOG FOR EMULE
        http://emule-project.net
        ========================

eMule 0.49b
-----------------------
- Jul, 31. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed some rare possible crashes

eMule 0.49b BETA2
-----------------------
- Jul, 28. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Added deleting of single entries from AutoComplete drop down lists by pressing the DEL key.
.: Added a new search method option "Automatic" which lets eMule choose which search method to use. eMule will select either Servers (Local) or Kad, based on which network we are connected to and some other indicators if connected to both networks.
.: Removed a general exception handler for the Beta version. This means eMule crashes instead of ignoring unexpected errors, which however is needed so we actually can find such bugs (if any exist) in the crashdumps.

-----------------------
- Jul, 26. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Implemented a special nodes.dat version, which is more suited for mass distribution without causing significant additional traffic for the included nodes. This hopefully allows us to add a nodes.dat to the installer, so that new user can connect to Kad without having to connect to servers or downloading a nodes.dat themself

-----------------------
- Jul, 19. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Implemented an alternate method to estimate the total user count in the Kad network, which is not based on our local routing table. Its experimental and only shown in the network dialog (double click the world icon in the status bar)
.: Adjusted the displaying of the user count by not showing numbers for a network we are not connected to

-----------------------
- Jul, 14. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a minor bug with kad obfuscation when answering unbofuscated hello-requests
.: Made sure that only one challenge to verify a contact is sent at a time to the same IP

eMule 0.49b BETA1
-----------------------
- Jul, 11. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Added MiniUPnPLib as additional UPnP implementation, the current Windows service based implementation is used as fallback. This will hopefully make eMule's UPnP compatible to most available routers. [miniupnplib by Thomas Bernard, Test & Suggestion: leuk_he]
.: A specific UPnP implementation can be disabled by adding "DisableMiniUPNPLibImpl=1" or "DisableWinServImpl=1" into the "UPnP" section of the preferences.ini

-----------------------
- Jul, 5. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: When reading a nodes.dat without any verified contacts (possible an old file version), eMule will assume all contacts to be verified to avoid slowing down the connecting process
.: Project files for VS2005 and VS2008 have been added, however the official eMule is still developed and compiled on VS2003

-----------------------
- Jun, 27. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Several changes were made to Kad in order to defy routing attacks researched by University of Minnesota guys [Peng Wang, James Tyra, Eric Chan-Tin, Tyson Malchow, Denis Foo Kune, Nicholas Hopper, Yongdae Kim], in particular:
.: Kad contacts will only be able to update themself in others routing tables if they provide the proper key (supported by 0.49a+ nodes) in order to make it impossible to hijack them
.: Kad uses now a three-way-handshake (or for older version a similar check) for new contacts, making sure they do not use a spoofed IP
.: Unverified contacts are not used for routing tasks and a marked with a special icon in the GUI

-----------------------
- Jun, 22. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Shared Files window splitter did not properly save/restore position.
.: Did first small step in dropping Kad1 support by not probing unknown Kad contacts for Kad1 anymore to save overhead. Kad1 clients will nevertheless still be work for now.
.: Fixed a bug which let Kad sometimes assume a Kad2 contact to be Kad1 after probing for both versions

-----------------------
- Jun, 18. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Memory leak in context menus.
.: Added: Vista styles for context menus.

-----------------------
- Jun, 12. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Pressing ESC in Shared Files window filter destroyed the entire window.

-----------------------
- Jun, 10. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Added additional sanitize checks to make sure eMule never writes downloaded data into an already completed part
.: Optimized the Kad packettracking code to only tack packets which we check later, to save ressources

-----------------------
- Jun, 9. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Fixed 100% CPU usage bug with tooltips in Statistics Graphs.
.: Added: Tooltip in Statistics Graphs show the Y-value.
.: Kad no longer tries to add UDP firewalled (and therefore mostly unreachable) nodes into its routing table, reducing overhead and increasing reliability [Idea: Netfinity]
.: Kad tries to determine the overall ration of firewalled clients in the Kad network and shows them in the statistics tree. This will only work if you are not firewalled yourself and know enough 0.49b+ nodes
.: When calculating the total user count, Kad now uses (if available) the real number of firewalled clients for the calculation instead a fixed value. This will take more effect when 0.49+ nodes become common
         
-----------------------
- Jun, 5. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: The "Handle eD2k-Links" button now also works properly with Vista's UAC enabled

-----------------------
- May, 31. 2008       -
-----------------------

-----------------------
.: Added: Vista themes for all owner drawn tab controls.
.: Added: Vista themes for category selector controls.
        
-----------------------
- May, 25. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed main toolbar redrawing problems under Vista.
.: Reworked connecting code, fixing some minor and some major bugs, including a possible loop in unreachable DirectCallback sources
        
-----------------------
- May, 19. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Added new close icons for closeable tab controls.
.: Kad now ignores multiple IDs pointing to one IP in routing request answers 

-----------------------
- May, 18. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Tab controls were not sized correctly on certain text contents.        

-----------------------
- May, 17. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Category tabs in Transfers window did not show correct default text color.
.: Fixed: Category properties dialog did not always show the correct (default) category color.
.: Added: Hot tracking effects for Vista themes for all (owner drawn) tab controls.

-----------------------
- May, 12. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Tooltips did not show correctly with Vista Aero theme.


0.49a
-----------------------
- May, 8. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: If extended controls are enabled (and if available) Kad search results show the amount of known unique publishers for a file in parentheses in the availability column (this isn't equal to sources, but it is a bit more trustworthy indicator how common a file is).
.: Updated CxImage lib to the latest version (6.0), fixes some image processing vulnability (low risk for eMule) [reported: Steve Manzuik/Juniper Networks]
.: Fixed Unicode issue in stored and loading searches
.: DirectCallback sources are now properly added to and checked against the deadsource list 

0.49a BETA3
-----------------------
- May, 5. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Made sure to always use the intern UDP port if both (intern and extern) ports succeed in the firewall test
.: Control chars are now filtered out of ed2k-links / received filenames [eklmn]
.: Fixed a small bug with handling removed category directories on startup [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]
.: Changed installer to set the currently used shared usage setting as default if available

-----------------------
- May, 3. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Fixed another bug in the new UDP firewalltest, causing it to fail for results on the extern UDP port and for unreachable clients
.: Captchas can consist of numbers now too (except 0)
.: Fixed a smaller issue with finding and connecting to a buddy
.: Buddy search interval has been reduced, to increase the chance to find a buddy without waiting too long

-----------------------
- May, 1. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Changed the Crypt functions a bit for faster processing [netfinity]

0.49a BETA2
-----------------------
- Apr, 29. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed some rare bug which could cause rerequesting already transferred (buffered) data [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]
.: Tweaked UPnP a bit to support some more routers [leuk_he]
.: Updated libpng to the most current version 1.2.27

-----------------------
- Apr, 27. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Changed the kad tcp firewalltest protocol to make it possible to archive the tcp open state if the UDP port is firewalled 
.: Each dialog (kad, server, etc) has now its own "doorway" helptopic which eMule shows when pressing F1 or the Helpbutton, instead of only calling the helpindex

-----------------------
- Apr, 23. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed two bugs in the new kad firewalltesting which may lead to wrong results [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]
.: eMule now supports ed2k-links for downloading the nodes.dat from an URL. A link to a nodes.dat should look this way: ed2k://|nodeslist|http://domain/nodes.dat|/
.: Fixed two minor display bugs realted to the waiting queue and the requests statistics for files [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]

-----------------------
- Apr, 20. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Loading stored kad keywords and sources has been moved into a seperate thread to avoid interface lockups, while the data is loading
.: Kad (tcp)firewalltest and buddy tcp connection now properly support protocol obfuscation too, on require obfuscation setting those connections (and therefore its functionality) didn't worked before

-----------------------
- Apr, 15. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Ctrl+W now closes the active searchtab in the search dialog

0.49a BETA1        
-----------------------
- Apr, 12. 2008      -
-----------------------
.: Beta versions now create a small test text file which is shared by eMule to help us debugging protocol changes (esp Kad). On exit this file is deleted
.: Fixed a bug with the "Open Directory" menuitem in the shared files window [Stulle]

-----------------------
- Apr, 11. 2008       -

-----------------------
- Mar, 18. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: File tooltips used wrong font sizes when using customized Windows metrics.
.: Added: Support for using Windows default fonts for listview and treeview controls in eMule's main windows. This way one can specify larger fonts for almost all eMule lists via the Windows System Metrics. Specify "UseSystemFontForMainControls=1" in "preferences.ini" to enable.
.: Fixed: Shared directory treeview control lost icons after Windows System settings were changed.
.: Fixed: Wrong font mapping for some GUI elements in non-Western locales.

-----------------------
- Mar, 17. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed: Shared Files list did not show focus rectangle for listview items.

-----------------------

.: Fixed: Toolbars in Transfere window were not showing tooltips after enabling/disabling "Queued Clients" and/or "Known Clients".

-----------------------
- Mar, 15. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed some GDI resouce leaks. [Rapid_Mule]
.: Fxied a minor possible bug in creating random numbers [leuk_he]
.: Fxied a bug in the new store searches function [netfinity]

-----------------------
- Feb, 26. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: When deleting more than 50 files the first 50 names are shown in the confirmation dialog [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]
.: Fixed a bug in finding the senders of corrupt data which may lead to false positives [DavidXanatos]

-----------------------
- Feb, 10. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Kad will now enforce certain limits when adding new contacts to the routing table: No more than 1 KadNode per IP, 2 similar KadNodes (same bin) from a /24 network and max 10 different KadNodes from a /24 network are allowed. This is supposed to make routing attacks against kad more difficult / resource-intensive
You can still run more than one kad client from a single IP without any problems, they just don't become part of the internal kad routing but still work without any limitations.

-----------------------
- Feb, 3. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: The download comments dialog has now a direct possibility to edit the comment spam filter, changes are instantly applied to all existing comments
.: Clients which sent comments which get filtered by the comment spam filter are now treated like message spammers (banned)
.: The ed2k: in ed2k-links is no longer case sensitive
.: When connecting to Ed2K eMule starts with a random server instead using first on in the server.met. Any sorting, priority, etc. is not affected by this

-----------------------
- Feb, 1. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Several changes have been made to improve kads resistance against malicious keyword publishing:
.:  Kad now keeps track which filenames were published by different sources for the same file and uses the most common name (instead the last published one) when responding search requests
.:  Same hashs (files) which have different filesizes are now properly stored seperatly instead overwriting eachother
.:  Kad calculates a rating based on how many different sources publish a file and how many files publishes a source. When responding to a search request, files with a rating below a set limit will be sent last in order to avoid that spammed files push out valid ones.
.: The Kad rating for published files is also sent in search results to be used in the future version as indicator

-----------------------
- Jan, 16. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: Added a general anti-flood-protection to kad. If Kad receives more request of a specific type from one IP than it would expect, it starts ignoring those requests and envetually banning the source. This is supposed to avoid or slow down several attack scenarios.
.: Fixed a problem with injection of DNS servers into the routing tables which were able to stay because of a porotcol mixup between kad and dns. Old sources with port 53 as kad port are ignored, new clients (0.49a+) can use port 53 as kad port again but it is not recommended [found by netfinity]
.: Fixed a bug in kad2 with publishing >4GB files [netfinity]

-----------------------
- Jan, 11. 2008       -
-----------------------
.: If you select a non-default incoming directory which already contains files, eMule notices you that those files are automatically shared by eMule

-----------------------
- Jan, 8. 2008        -
-----------------------
.: Added a filter box (like in the search results) for on-the-fly filtering of shared files into the shared files tab. This filter is supposed to help finding specific shared files, it has no effect on which files are actually published
.: Rearranged the symbols in the shared files directory tree a bit

-----------------------
- Dec, 15. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: The onlinehelp for the options dialog is now topic sensitive for all languages instead only for english (well actually it is not, but this is serverside work which will be done step by step till the release). More areas to get topic sensitive to come in the future
.: Open searches are now stored if you close eMule and restored on restart. This way you don't have to research your favourite words in case you didn't get to finish looking at the results. Can be disabled in Options->Display

-----------------------
- Dec, 2. 2007        -
-----------------------
.: Reworked Kads Firewall handling and testing:
The kad firewall state is now split into TCP and UDP. The TCP state is basically the old state, which tests if your TCP port is reachable. The UDP state is new and checks if your UDP port is reachable. For example on Full Cone NAT Routers, without portforwarding you will get TCP firewalled (as before) but UDP open (new). If you have the UDP open state, eMule doesn't needs a buddy any longer and will fully participate in the KAD network and therefore take away the overhead they caused in earlier versions (you still cannot connect to other TCP firewalled clients if you are TCP firewalled yourself).
.: The new UDP state is shown in the MyInfo field in the Server Tab. As long as the UDP firewalltest is unfinished "(unverified)" is appended
.: Clients which have the Kad UDP open state, now support direct callbacks (invoked by an UDP packet) to connect to not firewalled clients. These callbacks are faster, more reliable and use less ressources than buddy or server callbacks.
.: The new firewall test also fixes a bug / design flaw which caused eMule to always use the use the clients source UDP port, instead testing if the internal set UDP port might be the propper choice instead. This was especially a problem on Restricted Cone Routers with PAT (Port Address Translation) 

-----------------------
- Nov, 29. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug with possible wrong local IP address in case the "BindAddr" option is used.
.: Fixed bug with missing update of details of a selected friend in friends list.

-----------------------
- Nov, 24. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug in tooltips which were showing certain list items partially in bold.

-----------------------
- Nov, 19. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Added missing Unicode support for 'Static Servers' feature.

-----------------------
- Nov, 12. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed several of our listcontrols to show Windows' context menu of scrollbars
.: Added an option (Options->General) to prevent Windows from going into standby mode while eMule is running (and doing something)

-----------------------
- Nov, 11. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug in IRC window with channel windows opening in reverse order.
.: Fixed bug with dead servers occasionally not deleted from GUI [fox88].
.: Fixed bug with disabled E-Mail notifications on particular Windows systems [Lewpy]
.: Added showing of IRC-warning and error messages to the active channel window.
.: Added auto-activating of private IRC channel windows when self-initiating the conversation.

.: Fixed bug with HTTP downloads which could create a crash in case the HD is full.
.: Fixed a memory leak with failed gzip'd HTTP downloads.

-----------------------
- Nov, 07. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed garbled display of HTTP download status information

-----------------------
- October, 31. 2007   -
-----------------------
.: The messagesystem is now able to find your friends even if their IP changed if you and they are in Kad and not firewalled. This will help to stay in contact with friends longer than one session (Only works for new added/new seen friends which have Kad enabled).
.: When messaging a friend, eMule now makes sure that the userhash still matches after connecting and SecureIdent (if enabled) is passed in order to ensure that its really your friend.

-----------------------
- October, 28. 2007   -
-----------------------
.: You can now bootstrap to kad from an URL which points to a nodes.dat file (in the Kad tab)

-----------------------
- October, 22. 2007   -
-----------------------
.: In order to reduce spam messages and by this make the messagesystem more useable again, eMule now supports Captcha authentification:
If enabled, someone who messages you has first to solve a cpatcha (an image which shows letters) before the message is shown to you. Older clients who do not support captchas will be unable to message you and receive a notice about this.

-----------------------
- Jule, 11. 2007      -
-----------------------
.: Added obfuscation to the Kad UDP protocol. Kad obfuscation is part of the protocol and is unrelated to the Ed2K-Obfuscation settings

-----------------------
- June, 5. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a bug which let Kad try to load its preferences from the old config directory location

-----------------------
- April, 15. 2007     -
-----------------------
.: Added a spamfilter for search results. It mainly works by remembering files a user has marked as spam and marking files
   which seems to be very similar as spam too.
.: Spam results are drawn gray and always put to the end of the list
.: Spam results count max. 5 sources towards the 100 sources global search limit

-----------------------
- April, 9. 2007     -
-----------------------
.: The default paddingsize for obfuscated TCP connections has been increased to 128 bytes (from 16) in order to be harder detectable by size pattern matchings
.: The paddinglength can be changed manually by adding "CryptTCPPaddingLength=[1-256]" into the eMule section in the preferences.ini

-----------------------
- March, 12. 2007     -
-----------------------
.: eMule now supports multi-user installations, which especially is supposed to fix the folder permission problems on Vista
   In short: for Windows Versions before vista, nothing will change by default, on Vista eMule will use the current userspecific folders by default
   Please consult the onlinehelp for a detailed explanation. The setting can be changed at the extended options.
   
-----------------------
- March, 11. 2007     -

-----------------------
- Feb, 20. 2007       -
-----------------------
.: When using autoconnect on startup or pressing the Connect button while UPnP is still busy, eMule will wait for it to finish

filter will be invoked automatically after you stopped typing in the filter control.
Generally all specified strings (separated by space) are ANDed. Strings which do not
start with a '-' character (positive filter) must be found in the filename of the
search results while strings which are starting with '-' characters (negative filter)
must not be found in the filename of the search results.

Example: -xyz -abc cool file
This will show only search entries where the filename contains the words "cool" and

0.47a BETA1
-----------------------
- Jan, 15. 2006       -
-----------------------
Unk: Began work on Kad2.0.. The idea is to improve the protocol and add some features.. This client will only host the new protocol, the next version will have the option to switch between Kad and Kad2.0..
.: Completed files can now be deleted from the download window
.: Updated MobileMule protocol for large files

-----------------------
- Jan, 14. 2006       -
-----------------------
.: Clients which were identified as spammers will now be banned instead of only ignoring their messages

-----------------------
- Jan, 11. 2006       -
-----------------------
Unk: It appears there is a rare possibility that a keyword to a known file that is not shared can attempt to be published, a check is in place to avoid it.

-----------------------
- Jan, 8. 2006       -
-----------------------
.: Added support for large files. The new file size limit which eMule can handle is 256GB (the old one was 4GB)
.: The following compatibility issues for large files apply:
        - Large files can be found, downloaded and uploaded only by clients which support it (right now eMule 0.47a and above)
        - Collections which contain any large files can no longer be read by clients which don't support large files
        - part.met files from large files can not be used with old eMule versions / ed2k tools
        - If any large file is shared/known the known.met file will no longer be backward compatible to older eMule versions
        - Known2.met will be converted to Known2_64.met which can not be read by old eMule versions
Unk: Updated Kad to handle large files..
    - Older clients cannot index large file keywords. This will mean getting keyword results on large files will not 
      work well until the majority of the network updates..

-----------------------

.: Proxy support: Fixed bug in SOCKS 5 authentication.
.: Proxy support: Added support for HTTP/1.0 proxies which saves proxy overhead. Hint: If you have to use a HTTP proxy, HTTP/1.0 is recommended unless you must use HTTP/1.1.
The precedence of the proxy protocol performance is as follows.
1. SOCKS 4a (highest performance because of least overhead)
2. SOCKS 4
3. SOCKS 5
4. HTTP/1.0
5. HTTP/1.1 (lowest performance because of most overhead)
.: Speed up for large IP-filter list loading.

-----------------------
- Nov, 30. 2005       -
-----------------------
zz: Option to make eMule use highres scheduling (better precision for sleeps and some timers). Currently the upload throttler takes advantage of it if enabled, which may give smoother upload performance and smoother pings while using eMule. Try it at your own risk. :) Use this preferences.ini setting in [eMule] section to activate: HighresTimer=1

-----------------------
- Nov, 26. 2005       -
-----------------------
.: Changed search function in IP-Filter Dialog: When searching for an IP in the "Start" column, the "range" where the specified IP is within is searched. Hint: This way one can check if a particular IP is blocked in the loaded IP filter list.

-----------------------
- Nov, 20. 2005       -
-----------------------
Unk: Attempted to clean up all SMIRC Code.
1) Reformatted code so all has the same format.
2) Almost a complete rewrite in the core code which should correct the following issues.
. A change in the default preferences caused SMIRC to not display a popup for the user to change their nick.
. Some users could not see what they were typing..
. Channel Modes were not handled correctly in many cases.
. Sending new channel modes from the tab menu didn't send correct modes in most cases.

.: The meaning of the 'Cancel' search button was modified slightly. The 'Cancel' button now cancels any 
active search only if the according search result list is active. This means that active Kad searches 
can be canceled without closing the search result list window. So, to cancel any active search (regardless
of the search type) without deleting the search results, activate the according search result list and click 'Cancel'.

-----------------------
- September, 20. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Added optional floating point number support to search attributes in GUI and meta data search attributes in parser. (e.g. @size<1.23g)

   All type-values can be abbreviated with the first 3 characters (e.g. @type=doc is the same as @type=document)
.: Added parsing of value for @length seach tag: 'length' can be specied as HH:MM:SS or MM:SS or as 'seconds' 
   followed by a modifier (s=seconds(default), m=minutes, h=hours; e.g. "2m" is 2 minutes and is equal to "2:00")
.: Added abbreviations for search tags: all search tags can be abbreviated by their first 3 characters.
   (e.g. "@siz" is equal to "@size")

-----------------------
- September, 13. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Added "exact string" search for Kad searches (quoted strings will be sent to nodes unchanged).
   Note: Only newer Kad nodes will be able to process them correctly, older Kad nodes will not return a result.
Ornis: Webinterface: fixed information popup for upload items
 
-----------------------
- September, 12. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Added '-' as NOT shortcut to search expression (Google-style).
   - Terms prefixed with '-' get interpreted as NOT operator (e.g. "file -avi" is equal to "file NOT avi"; also "file -@codec=wmv3" is equal to "file NOT @codec=wmv3")
   - Strings can still contain the '-' character within the string (e.g "cool-file")
.: Breaking changes in search expression parser:
        - the characters '<', '>' and '=' (and also partially '@') are treated special. If they are to be used in search terms, they have to be quoted.
        - several meta-data IDs starting with '@' or when written all in uppercase are treated special. If they are to be used in search terms, they have to be quoted.
        - the Kad comparison operators '<', '>', '>=' and '<=' are now equal to ED2K operators. 
          You should not see much difference in practice. If though (e.g. when searching for bitrate), specify the value decreased by one or increased by one (depending on the comparions operator).
          This will vanish after more eMule clients have upgraded.
    - all meta-data IDs used in search expressions are sent as integer tags for saving bandwidth and CPU load (for ED2K and Kad)
    - precedence of AND and OR operator changed to get a Google-like interpretation:
      "a b OR c d" (or "a AND b OR c AND d" respectively) does no longer evaluate to "(a AND b) OR (c AND d)" but to "a AND (b OR c) AND d" (Google-style)
      You still can use paranthesis to force the precedence of evaluation to suite your needs.
    - The '-' character is interpretated as NOT when seen 'outside' of a string.

-----------------------
- September, 11. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Optimized search expression trees for putting less CPU load on servers and Kad nodes when evaluating the trees (less recursions).

----------------------
- September, 9. 2005 -
----------------------
.: Fixed problem with active Kad search indicator which was disabled too early.
.: Added "exact string" search for ED2K searches (quoted strings will be sent to servers unchanged)

----------------------
.: The upload limit and capacity as well as the downloadlimit will now be set to unlimited by default
.: When the uploadcapacity is set to unlimited (0), USS will be automatically enabled to determinate the best uploadspeed
.: If using the prio default capacity (16KB), the new version will reset it (one time) to the new default unlimited
zz: UploadSpeedSense will at most raise speed 30 KBytes/s above current upload speed. This will prevent it from raising to very high limits if your client can't upload fast enough to reach the limit due to no clients in queue.
zz: Bugfix+enhancement to the code that requests less of the file from slow download sources. Will now only activate this code if there's little enough left of the file to complete.

eMule 0.46b Beta
----------------------
- June, 28. 2005     -
----------------------
zz: Removed "Automatically Swap All (A4AF) Sources To This File" menu item. For the same effect, raise download priority on the file instead. See Web Help&Support -> Features -> Source Management
zz: When downloading from a really slow source, request less of the file at a time. This locks less of the file, so if there's a faster source available we have a better chance of downloading from it even when the file is almost completely downloaded.
Unk: Basic Collection framework and gui (see documentation for detailed information on this)
.: Improved Collection Gui.
.: Collections are now properly signed/verfied. If verifying failes, the authorname and key are removed

- May, 19. 2005      -
----------------------
zz: Bugfix to UploadSpeedSense (USS). Sometimes with low ping times and low Ping Tolerance settings it could get stuck at min speed.
zz: USS now detects when max ul limit is raised in prefs, and goes into "fast reaction mode" for a short while to quickly find out if it can raise the limit.
zz: When using several pings (tweak prefs setting), USS now uses median value instead of average value. This removes some of the randomness in the ping times to better see the trend and give a more stable speed. About 1-8 pings recommended.
zz: Slightly changed colors in "Shared parts" (fka "Obtained parts") column in shared files list:
      White = You don't have the part.
      Red   = You are the only one known to have/share this part. Please don't unshare the file.
      Blue  = You and others are sharing this part; the lighter blue, the less people sharing it.

----------------------
Unk: The AddOnNextConnect flag we gave to lowID users that missed their uploadslot still didn't work well as the user had to reconnect within a specific window.
- Now that flaged user can reconnect anytime that doesn't violate the protocol and get the upload slot.
- Only one user can have that slot at any given time to avoid the uploadlist from getting out of hand just in case more then one lowID user got flaged.
- Once a user is removed from the upload list, this slot is available again.
Unk: Relaxed the conditions for users to enter the upload queue of a lowID client.
- We still monitor for users on the upload list that try to get around the lowID callback limits through servers.
- We do not monitor Kad users on the upload list as the callbacks are all currently valid.

.: IP Filter is now also used to ignore filtered incoming UDP packets
.: Added a preference option to choose between simple (prio 0.43) or adanced calculation of the remaining time for downloading files
.: Introduced additional new hashsystem (AICH Hashs) which will reduce the average amount of dataloss when a part is corrupted from
   4.64MB (with ICH) to 180KB. The system is most effective when using links with attached AICH hash, which eMule can now also create
   Please refer check the helpfiles/onlinehelp for more information about this new feature.
   IMPORTANT: Due to the additional hash algorithm, eMule has to rehash all your shared files - this is a one-time thing, which can't be avoided.
    

----------------------
- Aug, 26th 2004     -
----------------------
Unk: Attempt at a estimate file count in Kad.

Unk: Fixed possible memleak if an incoming Kad publish failed.
Unk: Put some limits on how many keywords you index.
1) Global keyword limit.. (You never index more than this)
2) Local keyword limit. If your indexing one VERY popular index, it will be limited to allow less popular indexes to be stored.
3) Now if you happen to be one of the "lucky" ones that indexes a very popular node, your client will not freeze up trying to keep up.

----------------------
- Aug, 8th 2004      -
----------------------
zz: Resume next now uses a4af order: Alphabetical order if enabled for a category, cat-prios, file-prios etc. If you select "Resume next" in a category popup menu, it will only resume a file in that category; none if no file is paused in that category.

----------------------
- Aug, 5th 2004      -
----------------------
zz: UploadSpeedSense min limit is now allowed to be lower than 10 KB/s (default is 1 KB/s). Please note that when UploadSpeedSense lowers the speed below 10 KB/s, the ratio download limiter will dynamically kick in until the speed goes over 10 KB/s again.

----------------------
- Aug, 4th 2004      -
----------------------
zz: improved No Needed Parts a4af management. Will now occasionally reask lower prio nnp files on a source, if all files are nnp on that file. This will prevent it from remaining on the highest prio file when it's nnp and lower prio files has stopped being nnp since last checked.

----------------------
- Jul, 7th 2004      -
----------------------
zz: Small fix to make eMule request sources for files in the same order as the a4af priority (a4af auto, cat prio, file prio, alpha).

A source may be (automatically) swapped to another file to enable source exchange on that file. Respects reask times in all cases, so it may take a while before sources are moved (but this change prevents banning due to a4af actions).

- Jan 29th, 2004     -
----------------------
Unk: Major rewrite of the Kad code..
 - Kad is now part of eMule's thread so we don't have to worry about Sync issues.
 - Although many will say that this is a performance loss, I feel the the simplification of the code out ways this.
 - Kad will now use eMule's UDP port (And eMule's TCP port in the future) instead of their own.

----------------------
- Jan 27th, 2004     -
----------------------
bluecow: New data (packet + files) processing code for less CPU load.

----------------------
- Jan 25th, 2004     -
----------------------
Unk: Fixed a few issues that occured when a partfile became a complete file.

bluecow: Fixed timing issue in PerfLog module.
bluecow: Fixed statistics bug with ICH in download session category.

----------------------
- Jan 19th, 2004     -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed: If the very first downloaded part of a file was recovered by ICH, the file was though not shared until another part was completed without ICH.
Unk: Incoming ExtendedFileInfo was done without checking the version number.
 - This fix seems to have found that a couple older eMule Mods and Shareaza (And maybe a some other mods) are sending the wrong version number here.
 - They say they support the ExtendedFileInfo which makes us send the our info, but they in return do not send it to us when we are expecting it..
Unk: A part of the ED2K protocol has been redone into a eMule protocol. This allows us to do several ED2K type packets with just one packet hopeing to save overhead.
Unk: The UDP file reask now updates the FileStatus and it transmits all the ExtendedFileInfo.
Unk: File reasks have been extended for less overhead.
Unk: Source exchange times have been adjusted for less overhead. (May have to set the received source request time check back to older values so older clients don't suffer. Needs testing.)

----------------------
- Jan 17th, 2004     -
----------------------
Unk: The switch for processing sources for a download had some fall through bugs.
Unk: There was a bug the allowed the client to send a UDP and TCP file reask at the same time.
Unk: NNP sources was allowed to do a UDP reask which does not update our chunk info.. So, this was a wasted packet..
Unk: It was possible (But unlikely) for the client to send a UDP reask to a client he has never done a TCP reask..
Unk: AskForDownload() now returns a result so we know if the source was deleted.
Unk: Only count sent Kad overhead that was actually sent, not queued or failed..
Unk: Clients even without a valid file request could still get on the queue.
Unk: There were three different methods creating a per file upload list. Some of them rebuilt this list each time needed. We now maintain an upload list per each client in real time to avoid this.
 - Update: there is a bug that allows the same file to be in the KnownFileList.. This messes up this real time management..
 - For the moment, there is a debug code in the client the saves from creating dangling pointers..
 - This code will be removed once we fix the issues..
Unk: Source exhange for a complete file is now like part files, you only send sources that has chunks the user needs.

Ornis: enhanced webinterface for some kademlia control/information
Ornis: some more localisations
Unk: New contacts are set to type 1 initially to keep dead contacts from spreading.
Unk: The client now ignores indexes are are very far from it's clientID.
1) Saves wasted memory and a little overhead.
Unk: The client now skips publishing to contacts are are very far from the target.
1) Saves from wasting other clients memory and overhead.
Unk: Fixed a major bug in the Kademlia search algorithm.

- October 2nd, 2003  -
----------------------
Unk: Protocol change.. Going to have to restart the network.. (Everyone Update!)
Unk: Kademlia searches should be far be far better.

----------------------
- October 1st, 2003  -
----------------------
Ornis: Added connect buttons to Kad and Servers.
Unk: Passive contact collection during publishing is causing the contact list to grow too large..
1) This will help the contact list to stay at a lower level..
2) Also should lower the overhead as you don't have to keep track of as many contacts..
Unk: A very unreliable user estimate.
Unk: Extended the window to publish files..
1) This allows more files to be published..
2) Reduces overhead for those not sharing a lot of files..
3) But will increase the amount of files everyone has to index.
i ) This increase in indexes will actually be testing things for when publishing speed is increased..
4) Will cause a more old sources to be indexed..
Unk: All contacts after level 4 are now checked at least once an hour.
bluecow: added the long awaited More button to search window for getting more search results from the local server.
bluecow: rewrote tooltips for transfer window to fix several small glitches.

----------------------
- Sep 20th, 2003     -
----------------------
bluecow: changed all meta tags with string names into integer IDs
bluecow: changed "Length" meta tag for eMule/Kad internal to type "Integer"
bluecow: eMule/Kad tags are converted on-the-fly into ED2K tags when sent to a server or client
bluecow: received ED2K tags are converted into eMule/Kad tags; includes also ED2K tags read from known.met
bluecow: Redid Kad meta tag class to support:
 - data type for nr. of meta tags (in list) changed from uint32 to uint8
 - "dynamic" integer tags - this tag type selects the appropriate integer (8,16,32 bit) depending on the actually value
 - data conversion functions and property functions for each tag type to support on-the-fly and easy to use data conversion without caring about the actual data type
Unk: Search & source results are now bundled.
 - If your going to recieve more then 1 result from a client, this will save 16Bytes(data)+UDP(packet overhead) for all extra results.
 - Also, compression seems be able to compress these packets close to 50%..
Unk: Files with no valid keywords were able to stall publishing of all other files.. This was fixed.
Unk: Kademlia search results are now process availability a little different to try to get a better idea of availability.

----------------------
- Sep 18th, 2003     -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed bug with invalid client objects in upload list after a file was unshared/reshared [zegzav]

----------------------
- Sep 15th, 2003     -
----------------------
bluecow: Added support for showing all available MP3 tag information for downloads and shared files.
Unk: Rework of the Kademlia protocol.
 1) Search requests no longer sends MaxResults.
 2) Search result packets now support sending more then one result per packet.
  a) We still use one packet per result. This is for future expansion.
  b) Once compression is added to the protocol, search results should start combining into one packets.
 3) Publish request packets new support sending more then one request per packet.
  a) We also still send one packet per result. This is for future expansion.
  b) Once compression is added to the protocol, these requests should also start combinging into one packets.
 4) Contact types went from 0-4 to 0-2.
  a) This keeps a cleaner contact list
  b) This also may increase overhead. Therefore, adjustment after first beta may change..
 5) The contact list is set to stop Node requests when a branch in the tree reaches level 4.
  a) This means that when the network is in full force, contacts will be limited. (Not sure how much yet.)
  b) At the moment I allow the right most branch to continue to build.
   i) This allows a client to know more clients close to it's own hash. 
   ii) Hopefully this allows searches to find home quicker..
   iii) This may cause to much overhead and may need adjustment.
 6) Kademlia Requests now sends the recievers ID.
  a) This adds a little bit of security.
  b) If you change your KadID, this will hopefully help remove your old ID from the system.
 7) Redid how you set contact as alive.
  a) You only set contacts the respond to a request as alive.
  b) This keeps from scanning the contact list on EVERY packet.
   1) Since we don't know the contacts ID we can't use the tree, but sequentually scan it.
   2) We can't just add the contactID to the packet as we can't trust them.
  c) This will most likely miss some opportunities to mark a contact as alive.
   1) In some instances this wouldn't matter since it will be used in a Kad Request.
   2) In other casses, it will matter as you would need to ping that client to see if it's still there.

Unk: Adding availability to publishing.
bluecow: Change in usage of search file type parameter "Program": When searching for a file of type "Program", the results are no longer locally filtered according Windows Program Files extension (*.exe, *.com, *.bat). The eD2K file type "Program" is meant to contain all file types which are "used" by a program like compressed archives and CD-ROM images. This means that you will get more search results than in previous versions. If you still want to search for a Windows Program File, specify "exe" for the file extension.
bluecow: Added proxy support for IRC; all proxy settings are also used for IRC

----------------------
- August 26th, 2003  -
----------------------
bluecow: More tweaks in the gSOAP module for better performance with Jigle server and reliable compiling by modders (always ensure that WITH_GZIP is defined!); a Jigle search request always has to include either a file type and/or a file extension, otherwise the request will not be sent for reducing server load; HTTP User-Agent field changed to reflect eMule version.
bluecow: Fixed several issues with the new CComboBoxEx control (keyboard interface).
bluecow: Several visual changes in the new search list view for proper windows color scheme handling and sorting of child items

----------------------
- August 24th, 2003  -
----------------------
bluecow: Added support for Jigle SOAP interface to search the Jigle database with eMule [special thanks to Melange from Jigle for offering this great feature to eMule]

Unk: Contact list no longer shows temp contacts during searches. Also, redid how contacts are updated to limit the number of refreshes needed. (Cpu Savers)
Unk: Converted the ED2K ID system to the Hyrbids ID system to avoid false lowIDs that the ED2K ID system created and to be more compatable with the Hyrbid.
---- Also standardized the LowID checks to 2 central methods (ED2K and Hybrid). We were using several different methods to check lowID.
---- This changed a lot of code and needs tested well.

----------------------
- July 1st, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: You can now see if your files are published to a ED2K Server and/or Overnet.
Unk: You no longer republish files to a ED2K server that is already on there. This should save a lot of bandwidth and allow more files to be listed..

----------------------
- June 30th, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: Single keyword search requests are now processed.
Unk: Fixed a bug that could get the publishing stuck trying to publish a file over and over.

----------------------
- June 26th, 2003   -
----------------------

----------------------
Unk: Corrected a bug that didn't let you just connect to Overnet.
Unk: Fixed duplicate keyword indexed files.
Unk: Rolled back to VS2002.. Seems to have corrected the socket bug.
Unk: Removed a gui slowdown when a search quit and all the temp contacts were removed.
Unk: Completely rewrote the messaging code between eMule and Overnet to clean it up.
Unk: Added refresh messages to the Overnet lists. There should be no more ghosts or blanks in the lists.
Unk: Your ID is now calculated differently. Also there is a better check if your firewalled if using both networks at once.
-If you are seen to not be firewalled by either Overnet or ED2K, eMule will assume your not firewalled.
-If either ED2K or Overnet has a high ID, eMule will use it.
-If the server things your firewalled and Overnet knows better, you can still download from lowID users.
-If the server things your firewalled and Overnet knows better, you will tell the other clients the correct ID.
-Because we do not support firewalled users in Overnet yet, if you want to use overnet, you must also connect to a server before eMule starts working.

----------------------
- June 6th, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: Tried to go through and clear up some areas that check for LowID and Connected status.

----------------------

- May 26nd, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: Knownfile met is now saved periodically.
Unk: Published ON files are now remember between restarts to cut down over publishing.
Unk: We now detect if the our ON client is firewalled. Also, if the server side thinks we are firewalled but overnet isn't, we use the Overnet ID instead of the server ID.
Unk: Found out that many of the mldonkey clients don't publish correctly. Hours wasted trying to debug a packet that is incorrect.. 
Unk: Changed the order of publishing to make it more efficient.
Unk: No longer treat bcp://hashid:ip:port as a source. These are firewalled sources and the ip and port is the firewalled server, not source..
Unk: Corrected the searches to reflect correct search types.
Unk: Uploading clients could get stuck in the upload list without a socket. This is the same problem as noted above, therefore it's not the sole problem with FileNotFound.

----------------------
- May 26nd, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: Adding the overnet to the client brought up unknown issues with the original client.
1. Rewrote how clients and sockets delete each other to avoid clientlist & socketlist corruptions.
2. Clients are able to get in a connected or connecting state without a socket, these clients are now removed. (This may be releated to FileNotFound packets. Will rework that later..)

----------------------
- May 22nd, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: Merged the base Kademlia code into eMule with the help of bluecow.
Unk: Added a Overnet debug window.
Unk: Added many new Overnet opcodes.
Unk: Can now download from Overnet clients.
Unk: Note to self: Need to find out why incoming Publish Requests send UDP port, but when we send a publish request, we HAVE to send a TCP port??????? (Fixed: mldonkey is the one sending UDP port which is incorrect and very bad!)
Unk: Can now publish to the Overnet network. (Something still doesn't seem correct with Publish Requests)
Unk: Indexing Overnet files. (Something still doesn't seem correct with Publish Requests)
Unk: Beging to change the eMule base code to better handle the Overnet network as a seperate network. (So you can use both or just one)
Unk: Duplicate clients are now found a little better. More CPU power needed, but it had to be done to detect cross source findings.. 
Unk: CUpDownClient::CalculateDownloadRate() is causing strange exceptions.. WHY? (Update: fixed)

----------------------
- March 16th, 2003   -
----------------------
Unk: Changed opcodes to match eMule for easier merging later.

----------------------
- March 15th, 2003   -

----------------------
- September 14th, 2002-
----------------------

Merkur: implemented a new about dialog.. no it still doesn't show your id, but it looks way better ;)
Merkur: Finally the new credit system is in. Basically clients which uploaded to you will get a higher priority. Check the FAQ (emule-project.net) for a detailed description. A client with a yellow symbol in your uploadlist means that this client is prefered because of the credit system. You can check the detailed info screen to get more infos about his credits. However it's in the testing stage atm and probably some values will be adjusted later

Merkur: shared files now have a statistic, which will show you how often a files was requested, accepted and how much bytes you uploaded.
Merkur: partfiles are now "writeprotected" while emule runs, so you can't mess them (and cause errors) by  reading/writing them with another application.
Merkur: emule won't crash with a "out of memory" message anymore if it reads a corrupted .met file
Merkur: Fixed some bugs. Hopefully emule will run more stable now. Check for a "b" version in the next days, which will be released of any critical bug will be found in 0.19a (of course we test version before releasing them, but you knwo its impossible to find all bugs)

----------------------
(0.18b "Hotfix" ;) )
Merkur: Fixed a critical bug which caused the client to drop all compressed packets (with the message: Corrupted compressed packet for X received)
Merkur: Some other bugs are fixed too

----------------------
- September 7th, 2002-
----------------------
Merkur: Added a first part of the eMule-Protocol. This protocol will offer several features, but will only work for clients which are supporting this protocol (atm only emule v0.18 and higher). The download and uploadwindow will show an icon with a green "+" on clients which are supporting this protocol.

Merkur: (eprot only) Files are now send in compressed packets. Depending on the file you are downloading this will reduce the downloadsize by (estaminated):
0%        zip/ace/rar         and other archives. These files are sent unpacked (because they are already max. compressed)
2-15%        bin/avi/mp3         these files are already compressed very often, however a moderate-small size reduction is possible
15%-?        unpacked files        the size of unpacked files can be greatly reduced, however it doesn't happen that often that you download a unpacked file
Another advantage of compression is, that compressed packets are checked for transfer errors. That means emule will recognize a corrupted packet and you have to redownload 180KB instead of 10MB.
However everything has a downside: Compression needs some CPU time but you shouldn't notice it.
NOTE: This also means that it can happen that a file is finished before "transfered" has reached the filesize. this is no bug.

Merkur: (eprot only) you can now see which rank you have on the uploadqueue of of sources. It's shown in the downloadwindow/priority tab.
Merkur/mbobka : emule crashed/frezzed somtimes while completing files. This should hopefully be fixed. We are working on all bugs (especially on crashbugs). Please be patient :)
Merkur: Added a autoconnect on startup option


----------------------
- September 4th, 2002-
----------------------
Merkur:  If a servermessage contains a link (http, www, email etc) emule will make this link clickable. So if you click on this link you will browse to this site/open your mailprogramm etc. ED2K links are not clickable yet.
Merkur:  emule should pay more attention to the downloadlimit now
Merkur:  due to popular demand I changed the global search: the global search will not start untill your server gave a respond. This will slow down global searches a bit, but will avoid server-overhead.
Merkur:  some bugs are fixed. however there are still many bugs, which I wasn't able to dectect yet. So if eMule crashes on your PC please use the Debug version and send me a bugreport (read the debug.txt)
Merkur:  adresses.dat now doesn't contain any serverlist anymore. Maurices serverlist was for testing only, however quite a few ppl are using emule now which will cause lots of traffic. Of course you can still paste the serverlist of your choice into adresses.dat.
If you want to support eMule with a (good) serverlist-mirrow/generator which will be used as emules standart serverlist then mail me.

----------------------
- September 3th, 2002-
----------------------
Merkur:  Added clientdetails (right click on any client and select show details)
Merkur:  You can pause & stop files now. Pause means emule tells its sources source to stop downloading but keeps them. Stop will delete all sources. Other than that pause & stop are equal. NOTE: pausing a download and resume it WILL NOT SPEED UP ANYTHING. This is not edonkey
Merkur:  You can clear completed files from your downloadlist.

----------------------
- September 2th, 2002-
----------------------
Merkur:  optional emule will minimize to a systemtray icon
Merkur:  the statusbar shows you if you have a low or high ID: if the connected icon has yellow arrows you have a low id, if it has green arrows you have a high id.
  (BTW: keep in mind that low id's a VERY bad for emule at this point, because not all low id functions are implemented)
Merkur:  you can now connect to a certain server (right click on the serverlist)
Merkur:  there is a new emule Debug version. If emule crashes on your pc and you want to help to resolve this by sending a bugreport, then please download the debug version. Read the debug.txt for more informations.

----------------------
- September 1th, 2002-
----------------------
Merkur:  ED2k link were bugged and a wrong fileid was given to emule. this is fixed now
Merkur:  fixed a interface bug (http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=602996&group_id=53489&atid=470504)
Merkur:  added a small feature request (http://sf.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=603008&group_id=53489&atid=470507)
Merkur:  canceling files could cause a crash

--------------------
- August 31th, 2002-
--------------------
Merkur:  emule now supports ED2K filelinks :) You can click links in your browser (like edonkey) or enter them directly on the search page to add a new file.
Merkur:  if a client asks for a part file and is not known as a source for this partfile he will be asked & added
Merkur:  rewrote udp search
Merkur:  file priority works. Keep in mind that priorities are relativ. That means if you are downloading 10 files and set them all to high prio, it would have the same effect as if you would set them all to low priority. However if you set one of this ten files to high priority then this file will probably get more sources.

--------------------
- August 30th, 2002-
--------------------
Merkur:  the eMule window is now maximize- and resizeable (thanks to Paolo Messina, who coded a usesful resize-library)

--------------------

--------------------
- August 21th, 2002-
--------------------
Merkur:  fixed a bug which caused problems with completing files (actually it was impossible)
Merkur:  New Feature: Intelligent Corruption Handling - ICH (first stage). This should reduce the average (re)download size of corrupted parts form 10 MB (one full part) to 5 MB. However it needs some CPU time, so if you have a very fast connection (LAN for exmample) you should disable this.
Merkur:  New Feature: Autoupdate serverlist. If you activate this (on your preferences screen) emule will download a new serverlist at startup. You can set the downloadadress in "adresses.dat". ATM it uses maurice's serverlist - please change this to your favorite serverlistadress :)
Merkur:  fixed some minor memory leaks. emule is leakfree atm ;)
Merkur:  as alwasy some minor bugs are fixed (and probably some new introduced ;) )
