aMule 2.0.0 Released!
« on: May 03, 2005, 04:16:27 AM »


We've come a long way since 2.0.0-rc1 (more than 1 year ago!) to this 2.0.0 final version. I won't tell you all that we achieved on this time - I don't want to to burn your hamsters scroll wheel  - so I'll stick to the highlights of this release, the links to sources, and the link to changelog.


Before we proceed to that tho, I want to please request your attention over a guy whose hard work made it all possible, and the sad fact that not much people knows him. This release is dedicated to Timo Kujala, tiku, the guy that ported the eMule 0.26d to linux all by himself, creating "lmule", and so the God Of Coding we all praise.

This release is for you, Tiku :) We hope to have reached what you dreamed when you started lmule.

Highlights:

  • aMule works on Linux, Mac, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD, Solaris, Windows, and probably other OSs that noone tested yet.

  • aMule works on x86, amd64, ppc, ppc64, sparc, alpha, and AFAIK arm (probably others also) CPU architectures.
  • aMule has core/GUI separation, a mature daemon, and a not-so-mature-but-still-working remote GUI, along with the webserver and the text-mode user interface (amulecmd).
  • aMule has the latest improvements on ed2k protocol, both on eserver compatibility (thanks lugdunum) and client<->client communication (thanks eMule dev. team). This includes eMule extensions over original ed2k protocol.
  • aMule supports all wxWidgets flavours from 2.4.2 to the brand new 2.6.0. The recomended version is, however, wxWidgets 2.6.0.
  • aMule supports Unicode on GUI, internals, and network, and its totally or partially translated to 28 languages
  • And last but not least, aMule has the best users and supporters community I've ever seen. I said it and I'll say it again: without you guys, this project would have never reached its current state.

Now for sources:

http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0.tar.bz2
http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0.tar.gz
http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0.zip
http://download.berlios.de/amule/aMule-2.0.0.rar

Packages will, as usual, follow as soon as the packagers are ready. Expect the usual packages and also the new packages for Mac and Windows. Get them from our download page.

And now the Changelog. I know we have a tradition of pasting here the full changelog, but you know, took me hours to write it on wiki and on the actual file, so here you have the wiki link:

http://www.amule.org/wiki/index.php/Changelog_2.0.0


We want this release to be the best rocking one we ever did. What do you think?

Any hints when the Mandrake/Mandriva Linux RPM packages will be available?

:baby: Congratulations amule people. I downloaded the src for 2.0 final release, ran configure, make and then copied src/amule to /usr/local/bin. It all took about 2 minutes. Of course it worked perfectly. You guys are so good it's getting boring. (Just joking but I'll keep trying the cvs's for a challenge.)
Once again, thanks for the great job.

Congratulations, I'm yet to try it because I need to get wxWidgets 2.6 compiled still, but I'm sure it's not much different than the CVS version I'm using which is quite stable too.

You made it people! A big thanks to everyone of you, this release rocks!!  :D


P.S.: To celebrate the new release i tried to make a donation but it seems i need to register with paypal, it asks for an email address and to create a password, is this needed? cant i just make a donation without having to create an account with them?

WoW guys!! I was really excited reading your e-mail and reading this day had come! Although I was using amule CVS snapshots (which I would continue to use looking for kademlia support) I went straght to install this new rocking final version, really long awaited but absolutely worth it!!
Thank you Devs, you really kick ass!
I really apreciate your devotion to this project (and gonna replace also eMule as soon as M$ version will come out)
Carry on doing so well!!

  :) :) :) :) :)
