eMule 0.49b Beta 2

INFO:

eMule is a file-sharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network, but offers more features than the standard eDonkey client, because it´s open source but under the restrictions of the GPL License.

Here are some key features of "eMule":

• Clients use several networks to create one reliable network. (ED2K, Source Exchange, Kad)


• eMule´s Queue and Credit system helps to ensure that everyone will get the file he wants by promoting those that upload back to the network.


• eMule is completely free. eMule is also completely free of any adware, spyware, ect.


• Each file checked for corruptions while downloading to ensure an error-free file.


• The eMule Intelligent Corruption Control helps to speed up the correction of corrupted parts.


• Auto priorities and source management allows you to start many downloads without having to monitor them.


• The Preview function allows you to look at your videos and archives before they are completed. For video previewing, the publisher recommends the Video Lan Client.


• The eMule features Web services and a Web server that allows you to have quick access to and from the Internet.


• You can create categories for your download to organize them.


• To find the file you want, eMule offers a wide range of search possibilities which include: Servers (local and global), Web-based (Jigle, and Filedonkey), and Kad (Still in Alpha).


• eMule also allows you to use very complex Boolean searches that make the searches much more flexible.


• With the messaging and friend system, you can send messages to other clients and add them as friends. In your friend list, you can always see if a friend is online.


• With the build in IRC client, you can chat with other downloaders and chatters around the globe.

What's New in This Release:

· 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_
· A specific UPnP implementation can be disabled by adding "DisableMiniUPNPLibImpl=1" or "DisableWinServImpl=1" into the "UPnP" section of the preferences.ini
· 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
· 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
· 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
· Fixed: Memory leak in context menus
· Added: Vista styles for context menus
· Fixed: Pressing ESC in Shared Files window filter destroyed the entire Window
