-----------------------
Jan, 21. 2006
-----------------------

Unk: Continued work with Kad2.0. Only host side funcational still

Unk: More tweaks to Kad1.0.

Unk: Correction to "Change in LPhant version display (Famerlor)"

Unk: Make sure Kad config files are not read by older clients as they may contain tags they cannot read.

-----------------------
Jan, 20. 2006
-----------------------

• Fixed a bug which could cause problems when loading part.met files of large files (SiRob)
• Changed the protocol to check the hash+filesize instead only the hash on requested files

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

-----------------------
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..

• Added "Minimize to system tray" command to system menu.

-----------------------
Dec, 26. 2005

• Proxy support: Couple of optimizations for proxy support.
• Proxy support: The "Proxy/ShowErrors" preferences.ini setting has no meaning any longer because all proxy errors are now shown as part of the regular connection error messages for servers and clients.
• 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.

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

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. smile.gif Use this preferences.ini setting in [eMule] section to activate: HighresTimer=1

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

• 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.

Ornis: Importer added for incomplete (ed2k)Shareaza tempfiles [by David Xanatos]

• Fixed bugs with property pages not restored correctly when using file details dialog in different main windows.

-----------------------
September, 24. 2005
-----------------------

• 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. @size1.23g)
• Size-, Availability-, Complete Sources-, Bitrate- and Length-search attributes can be specified in GUI in same way as in parser (see there).

-----------------------
September, 19. 2005
-----------------------

• Added new method for extracting meta data from AVI/WAV files without using DirectShow filters.

-----------------------
September, 15. 2005
-----------------------

• Added value checks for 'type' search tag: @type="audio"|"video"|"image"|"img"|"document"|"program"|"archive"|"iso"|"cd" 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 '

-----------------------
September, 11. 2005
-----------------------

• Optimized search expression trees for putting less CPU load on servers and Kad nodes when evaluating the trees (less recursions).

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

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

• 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)
• Added meta-data searching to search expression parser.
• Reworked boolean search expression parser: implicit ANDs do no longer need to be specified (e.g. "a AND (b OR c)" can be specified as "a (b OR c)")

• Removed sending of string file format meta tags to eserver and emule clients for saving bandwidth [thx lugdunum]
• Added sending of new integer file type meta tags to eserver for saving bandwidth [thx lugdunum]
