        [/list]

   ken_aMule:

• Fixed ipfilter on big endian archs.
• Fixed several wxWidget's bugs that were creating serious memleaks on Mac

   Kry:

===============::MULTIPLATFORM::===============
      
• When a socket connection error like WOULD_BLOCK happens, aMule retries

         the connection to avoid just-once errors
      

• Stopped files are now darker than non-sources ones.
• AICH e-links working now, with masterhash and with hashset
• Proper handling of removing -fomit-frame-pointer flag that worls on all platforms.
• Initial support for wx-compliant systray. Will be ready for 2.0.0 final release.
• aMule no longer crashes on opening a non-existing folder. CDirIterator is safe now.
• Fixed crash on app close - never call a pure virtual function from a destructor.
• Moved the init/close code of aMule to where they belong: destructor/constructor.
• Much more debug info available to debug packets (packet dump and others)
• Major network improvements:

         * Improved the socket processing on CPU usage and performance.
         * Coded the functions handling the network string/bytes conversion of ips and
            hostnames and the generic hostname solving thread, non dependant from host's
            socket implementation. Less CPU and more reliable on both cases.
      

• Crash fixed on wrong arguments for wxString::Format
• New option on right click on downloading or search files for showing eserver's stats for

         that filehash. Needs browser correctly configured on preferences.

• Fixed crash where transferwnd and clientlistctrl could be accessed before created.
• Listen socket on accepting connection no longer uses a blocking socket (CPU improvement).
• Not linking anymore to gtk libs if not needed.
• "GTK: Not Detected" is now either "Not Detected" or "Not Used" to avoid confusion.
• Fix for crashing on 'OK' button on preferences.
• Fix for preferences window being unreachable if aMule is minimized while showing it.
• Fix for crash on HTTP dialog if StopAnimation() was not called on destructor.
• Fixed crash when shutdown and preferences window open.
• Implemented OS_Info tag. Broke it 400 times, and fixed it 401 times, so working.
• Implemented statistics tree for OS_Info tag.
• Fixed several memory corruption issued caused by icons with wrong size.
• Fixed several memory corruption bugs on amule init/close.
• When aMule crashes, it not longer fails saving:

         * Preferences (Saved on 'OK')
         * Categories (Saved on changes)
         * Total upload / download bytes (saved while running).
      

• Fixed crash on   OP_MULTIPACKETANSWER
• Sent wxInt and wxUInt classes usage down the drain for the standard int / uint
• Implemented "Share hidden files" checkbox.
• Immplemented the CT_EMULECOMPAT_OPTIONS new tag.

        Right now only OS info support capabilities.
      

• Implemented new short tags style for server and client interchange of info.

        Fixes not being able to browse eMule >=0.42x shared files.
      

• Fixed aMule daemon compilation to use wxBase headers and libraries.

        This fixes amuled not compiling on wxBase only-boxes, thus making it kinnda pointless.
      

• Fixed AMD64 and GCC4.0 compilation/run, closes debian bug #285110
• Fixed some performance issues on Log text controls.
• Fixed long browsers requests on WebSocket. Buffer is now enlarged accordingly.

• Fixed aMule crashing when local search is not returning and we click stop

        or start another search.
      

• Fixed severeral endianess bugs.
• General rewrite of UDP Socket

         * Received packets when app is not ready are now discarded.
         * Small fix preventing memleaks and some strange asserts
         * Fixed a severe memleak if 2 UDP packets are send at the same time, before the
            first one finishes.
         * Fixed the host solving fail not cleaning the data (another severe memleak)
         * Fixed sending wrong data to wrong servers and thus not being replied.
         * Fixed some server udp packets never reaching destination.

         StringFunctions.(h/cpp)
         NetworkFunctions.(h/cpp)
      
      ==================::MAC::===================

[/list]

   phoenix:

• Lots of unicode fixes.
• Added readline and history support to amuleweb/amulecmd text

        clients.
      

• Added template loading capability to amuleweb with the new

        command line parameter -t.
      

• Changed m4/readline.m4 so that readline libs are only used

        when needed, i.e., no longer append readline libs to LIBS,
        use READLINE_LIBS instead.
      

• Fixed crash in aMule when amuleweb tried to get transfers

        tab and aMule had never connected to a server before.
      

• New backtrace output with demangled function names, file

        names and line numbers, when possible.
      

• Initial (not functional yet) SOCKS5 proxy support.
• Initial (not functional yet) SOCKS4 proxy support.
• Initial (not functional yet) HTTP proxy support.

        must be done with wxTRANSLATE, and wxGetTranslation() must

• Fixed a bug in WebServer.cpp:CWebServer::GetStatusBox():

        return value was missing end tags.
      

• Changed back to macro the inline function version of

        unicode2char() when using UNICODE. Unfortunately, when the

        stick to the macro version for now.
[/list]

• Some GUI cosmetics.
• Lots of i18n fixes.
• As a side effect, fixed the "Any" search in webserver.

• Added "add " command to amulecmd.
• Tracked down and killed a number of hidden bugs.
• Added commands to change/monitor bandwidth settings to

        amulecmd.
      

• Made wxTRANSLATE actually work.
• Fixed graphs in webserver. Also added the missing back.gif file.
• Fixed buffer overflow problem in ed2k link handler.

   wizeman:

        corrupted EC packet.
      

• Fixed webserver, it wouldn't close connection when it received a POST request.
• Fixed webserver crash: added mutex to make variable wcThreads thread-safe.
• Fixed webserver <-> amule communication corruption when the webserver

        without synchronization.
      [/list]

   Xaignar:

• Added the new casting macros to otherfunctions.

• Removed the leech-mod checks, they were getted outdated anyway
• Fixed open sockets count.
• Avoid re-layouting the entire dlg when updating some labels.
• Small fix to CMuleNoteBook.
• Adding a missing event-handler en shared files tab.
• Changed the primary hashing thread to do both MD4 and AICH hashing for non-part files.

        This cut down hashing of ~2.8gb of data from ~12:40 minutes to ~7 minutes on tests.
      

• Adding checks against the user sharing the following dirs: Home-dir, .aMule, Temp-dir.

        Sharing home is allowed but results in a warning.
      

• Fixed the Upload-parts drawing.
• Fixed sorting by filename on the Uploading list.

        arrays of each source for that file.

Nice to see this!!!

But...I was just wondering if there are many differences between RC8 and CVS 20041221? since I just downloaded and installed this CVS version.

Thanks for any help.

[skolnick]

Hmm...Just wanted to add a nice Merry XMAS to you all, and a happy new year!! and also thanks for including me in the list of contributors. I'm pretty proud of being considered as such for a project like amule.

Best Regards.

Skolnick.

[Targaryen]

MDK 10.1 packages? :__

[Ateo]

Damn. You guys have worked your asses off between releases. Thanks!!!

Running rc8 as of now compiled against gtk2 & wxGTK 2.4.2. Seems to be working normal as usual.

[GhePeU]

just a question: does amuled compile and work with wx* 2.4 or does it require wx* 2.5.3?

[Kry]

2.5.3

Will never work with 2.4.x there's no way we can get it to work, it's lib's fault.

[GhePeU]

thank you

here and as attachment you can find a gentoo ebuild for rc8

[skolnick]

@GhePeU:

Which TV show/movie is your avatar from? I swear I've seen it before, just can't remember where ?(

Thanks.

[GhePeU]

Do the evolution, Pearl Jam's video produced with Todd McFarlane (Spawn)

[RedDwarf]

Working fine in MDK 10.1. Only problem was the need for wxGTK 2.5.3 to compile (some problem with the one packaged by Mandrake?).
About "AICH e-links working now, with masterhash and with hashset"...with RC7 AICH was only usable if you found a trustable quantity of masterhashes from other clients?? That explains why I never saw it used :p
