-----------------------
.: 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

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

-----------------------
- Nov, 24. 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.
. Sorting nicks within a channel didn't sort correctly.
. Notices were not process correctly in some cases..
. Ping/Pong between users didn't work.
. Server filter option in prefs was unable to be cleared.

Unk: Attemped to clean up all Kad Code.
1) Reformatted code so all has the same format.
2) Removed some unused method params and vars.
3) Tried to optimize some code.
4) Fixed a possible issue that if you found your target on first try, you wouldn't send a request/store.
5) Began adding comments to code for better understanding. (This will be done slowly if ever finished.)
6) Put back keyword results sanity check.
7) Fixed issue with Zones not being merged when contacts get low. (Help with Kry)
8) Changed how contacts are kept alive to keep contact list fresher with less CPU
9) Adjusted where Jumpstart is called to reduce CPU.
10) Adjusted user count to account for firewalled users.

-----------------------
- Nov, 13. 2005       -
-----------------------
.: Code cleanups and performance optimizations regarding 16-bit integer usage.
.: E-Mail notifications are disabled for non-XP-SP2 systems when built with ATL 7.1.

-----------------------
- Nov, 5. 2005        -
-----------------------
.: Added support for RARed IP filter files. Download UNRAR.DLL from http://www.rarlab.com and copy to emule installation folder.
.: Added support for RARed eMule skin profiles. (As with ZIPed skin profiles, you can install downloaded RARed skin profiles right from Shared Files window by right clicking and invoking "Install eMule Skin" command.)
Unk: Lower CPU load within Kad's Routing. (Kry, idea by lupz)

-----------------------
- Oct, 30. 2005       -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug with IP Filter URL dropdown control in Security Dialog which was loosing all entries.
.: Added verification of downloaded IP Filter files to detect files without any IP filters (e.g. dead URLs).
.: A ZIPped IP filter file must contain one file (which holds the IP filter list) with the name "guarding.p2p" or "ipfilter.dat". All other files possible available in a ZIP file are ignored.

-----------------------
- Oct, 15. 2005       -
-----------------------
Ornis: option for full filesize preallocation (extended settings)
Ornis: systray flashes with message icon on incoming new message (message, not IRC (yet)) when enabled in preferences.ini (Section "eMule" set "IconflashOnNewMessage=1")

-----------------------
- Oct, 8. 2005        -
-----------------------
.: Media Info File Dialog shows information about additional audio/video/subtitle streams. (Use MediaInfo DLL (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/) to get this support for non-AVI files).
.: MP3 files with variable bitrates and Xing-VBR frame are report and published with the average VBR bitrate.

-----------------------
- September, 30. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Added more safety to tag parsing in hello packets [thx Kry]

-----------------------
- September, 29. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: File detail dialog shows accumulated remaining size of multiple selected files.

-----------------------
- September, 26. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug with 'Ext' command in 'PreviewApps.dat' file.

-----------------------
- September, 25. 2005 -
-----------------------
.: Added file rating support for ED2K-server search results. Received ratings are shown with additional icon like in Transfers window and in 'Meta Data' details dialog.
.: Fixed bug with double clicking on rating icon in Transfere window not always opening comment dialog page.
.: 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. @size<1.23g)
.: 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 '<=' 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)
.: 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)")

----------------------
- September, 4. 2005 -
----------------------
.: 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]

----------------------
.: 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.
Ornis: Resizeable collection windows
Ornis: added some USS localisations

----------------------
Unk: Some users complained that the "Users | Files" box wasn't large enough for their lang. Double clicking that box now pulls up MyInfo with user/file counts included.
Unk: Added some extra info to the full screen MyInfo box. (Parts based on Morph mod)

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
.: Downloadrequests for collections will bypass the downloadqueue and served immediately

.: Extended the "Run as unprivleged User" function: If starting with the eMule-Account fails (for example because of lacking privileges)
    eMule will restart as the same users but with reduced privileges (but same file permissions).
	This helps users which are already working with an Non-Admin account to improve the security a bit more

----------------------
zz: Fixed underflow error for "Shared parts" column in Shared files list, which caused parts to sometimes be shown as light blue even when they are common in the net.

----------------------
- 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.
      Black = You have this part, but its availability in the net is unknown (i.e noone have asked you for this file yet, and you are not downloading it)

----------------------
- May, 16. 2005      -
----------------------
.: Some modifications to avoid disapearing Search Parameters window.

.: 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.

bluecow: Added optional support for MediaInfoLib (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net) for viewing audio/video attributes of part and shared files. This feature is optional and will only be used if version 0.4.0.1 of MediaInfoLib (MediaInfo.DLL) is copied to eMule application folder.

----------------------
- Feb 18th, 2004     -
----------------------
bluecow: Added merging of audio/video attributes in File Info dialog. All audio/video attributes from all selected (part) files are merged to verify if selected files are of same audio/video format.

Unk: Kad now allows smaller local networks if you turn off LANIP filtering. (This should only be used for debuging and testing)
Unk: A lot of Kad has been converted to use CSafeMemFile.. To finish converting all, we need to convert the Kad's Tags and Kad's Taglist to work with it..
Unk: When duplicates are found in the KnownFileList, the stats are now merged..

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

. :	Merging of the extended trayicon menue [eMule+]

----------------------
- Feb 1st, 2004      -
----------------------
bluecow: Reworked IP filter
- Optimized IP filter lookup for less CPU load.
- Optimized loading of IP filter files.

- Added IP filter dialog for basic editing and viewing IP filters (accessible via Tool menu).
- Added IP filter rule hit statistics.
Unk: Fixed a bug in the UDP port that resent UDP packets to dead clients.

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

----------------------
- Jan 22th, 2004     -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed bug with wrong category directory shown for new created downloads.
bluecow: Fixed printf-flaw with category directories.
bluecow: Fixed problem with empty file data packets which could corrupt the gap list.
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: 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: 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]
bluecow: Shared files listview and Search Results list view; Alt+DoubleClick opens Details dialog.

----------------------
- Sep 16th, 2003     -
----------------------
Unk: Any large Kad packet is now compressed.

----------------------
- 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: Rewrote the entire kademlia protocol.. We are no longer using Overnet..
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
Ornis:   bugfix in webserver socket code, [Jan B.,nice bugreport]

----------------------
- 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).

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.

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

----------------------
- June 3rd, 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)

----------------------
- September 10th, 2002-
----------------------
(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.

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:  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.

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 :)
