-- 0.303 2003-11-14 --
* Fixed reversed free and open slots in search results (oops...=)...upgrade or y
ou're likely to be banned!
-- 0.302 2003-11-14 --
* Added a small menu to the tray icon (thanks orkblutt)
* Added port to hub log files
* Some fixes so that \client will compile better under linux (thanks christer pa
lm, he's working on
a linux version using dc++ as base...)
* Speedups, code cleanup to GUI list handling
* New STLPort again (4.6) (a lot of the match queue crashes are probably STLPort
's fault,
so I'm changing again, to see if the latest is better, + that I changed two li
nes in it)
* Fixed some bugs in the &-translation
* Can be compiled in MSVC 7.1 without stlport, make sure to undefine HAS_STLPORT
in config.h
* Updated the antifrag feature to recover from crashes (thanks distiller)
* Fixed so that tab completion works with multiple [xxx] tags (thanks sed)
* More code cleanup, keep a backup of your queue handy while upgrading, queue co
de extensively
rewritten to ease future changes
* Updates to the autosearch feature
* Added (well, enabled) GetZBlock, a feature that makes all transfers safer by c
hecking CRC's
during the transfer and if possible, compresses. This is an experimental featu
re, and it might
require some extra cpu, so it can be turned off in settings, turning it off wi
ll turn it off for
both up- and downloads. If both users have it enabled it will automatically be
used. Compression
is automatically turned off file files that don't compress well (.rar's for ex
ample), but the extra
CRC check is still done. Safe transfers are marked by a * in the active transf
ers list (I'll think
of something better later on...)
* New, very nice progress bars for the transfers window (thanks citruz)
* Multi-shade progress bars to show how much was resumed and compressed
* Added auto-grant option to favorite users (thanks saurod)
* Improvements of robustness and speed of the XML reader
* Fixed some minor Examples.xml issues ("\\" and "\t" are now correctly shown)
* Fixed a queue crash bug
* Changed transfer view sort order (active downloads, active uploads then connec
tion attempts...one
fine day perhaps it'll be configurable...)
* Added date added column to queue

* Fixed a bug where the socks5 proxy was used for http proxy connections (thanks
dan fulger)
* Added command history scrolling using ctrl-up/down/home/end (thanks cologic)
* Fixed match queue crashes

* Added support for once-per-nick usercommands (and made kick/redirect work like
once)
* Filename and path in finished frames split ut in two columns (thanks twink)
* Fixed NoGetINFO so that it actually doesn't send any getinfo's
-- 0.301 2003-10-28 --
* Fixed usercommands in hub frame (kick for example)
* Other fixes to usercommands (thanks sedulus)
* Fixed reading of DCTC file lists I think (haven't tested) (DCTC of course has
to be different
from all other clients and create file lists with multiple directories with th
e _same_ name
for no reason)
* Fixed "open folder" in finished frames
* Added new search for alternates algorithm with possibility to set search strin
g yourself
(thanks saurod)
* Added selection of which hubs to search in (thanks saurod)
* Fixed link opening in some browsers

* Now correctly reacts to multiple $Hello's with own nick
* When moving items in the fav lists, items are scrolled into view if moved outs
ide the window
* Added "View as text file" option when downloading files (only shows the first
32k though...)
* Made it possible to compile using the stl supplied in msvc 7.x, it's untested
though, and I won't maintain it
(I just wanted to see if it works)
* Already existing files are prioritised when queueing
* Changed so that files are downloaded in alphabetical order when first added (t
his makes opening large user file
lists a little bit slower)
* Upgraded to STLPort 4.5.0725 (should be compatible with msvc 7.1)
* Fixed right-click menu in hub frame when the username comes last on a line (th
anks sed)

* Progress bar now has different color for selected items
* Added notification for which file was not available for downloading
* Added H: to main window status bar
* Hub developers: Added section about $Supports scheme for client-hub communicat
ion to extensions.txt that
dc++/dch++ will (probably) use to extend the protocol (if it ever happens =).
* Default hub list now points to one that works
* Minor code cleanups
* M:5 in the <++ tag means socks5 mode (this should have worked since 0.20...)
* If no nick is set the settings dialog pops up at startup (to help newbies...)

rches (the QuickSearch variant of
Boyer-Moore)
* User commands now work from search as well
* Fixed a major bug where queue items without sources were not loaded from disk
on restart
* Fixed slow favorites opening / excessive saving (thanks todd pederzani)
* Large speedup in file listing search (QuickSearch + unnecessary processing add
ed earlier removed)
* Added selection size info to queue frame (same as file listing)
* Fixed some crashes when closing windows (and perhaps added some new ones...)
ADLSearch: (by Henrik Engström)
* Keyboard shortcuts.
* Context menu (back again).
* Removed 'Active' column and made it a check box.
* Unified button texts to the rest of DC++.
* Fixed bug with multiple destination directories, some search results only en
ded up in the first of multiples.
Minor:
* Memory savings for users with many files in share
* Hyperthreading / multicpu users, try again and report back if it works
* Fixed %[hub] in upload log
* Some code cleanup
* Fix for buggy HTTP servers sending Content-Length with wrong case (thanks sand
os)
* Added link to change log in help menu (thanks todd)
* Fixed link to faq (thanks todd)
* Fixed public hub list mouse clicks and reopening (thanks todd)
* Fixed so that "3/4 users offline" can be translated to polish
* Fixed tabbing in search frame
* Added option for not downloading zero-byte files
* Added handling for dchub:// in main chat (opens the hub)
* Fixed a bug with strange nicks causing problems with file list opening
* Fixed a bug with orphaned file lists
* Fixed a bug with socks5 password length (thanks dwomac)
* Double-clicking text selects the word (as in old versions, thanks todd pederza
ni)
* Directories are no longer returned for "at least" searches with bytes > 0 (i e
directory size is assumed 0)
* Fixed another issue with accesses to invalid drive letters (thanks sarf)
* Holding shift during startup (when the main window shows) will disable autocon
necting to hubs
* Fixed user description saving and updating (thanks todd)
* Large files are now moved in a separate thread to avoid losing connection whil
e moving (if using temporary download dir)
-- 0.242 2003-04-19 --
* Updated compile.txt with some notes on submitting patches
* Perhaps fixed the multicpu/hyperthreading issue (could someone try and report
to the bug tracker?)
* Various optimizations of the socket code to regain some of the upload performa
nce that some seem to have problems
with (keep in mind that SFV-checking, when enabled, slows things down on the d
ownloading end when a file is checked...)
* Fixed problems with changing active port
* Fixed favorite hub properties saving
* Added option not to send away message to bots (users that have not sent a myin
fo that is...) (thanks sedulus)
* Fixed 302-moved code a bit (thanks sedulus)
* Added match queue feature to the file listing window. This will take every fil
e in the file listing and see if there
is any matching file in the queue (exact filename & size match). Every match w
ill then be added to the queue as an
extra source. Depending on your queue size and the number of files in the list
ing this might take some time to do...
* UI updates to ADLSearch (by Henrik Engström)
-- 0.241 2003-04-01 --
* Made the XML parser a bit more robust against bad XML data (to avoid embarassi
ng situations such as the last one...)
* Favorite users and hubs are now saved on edit instead of on exit.
* Added support for "302 file moved" for hublist downloads (thanks sedulus/sand
os)
* Fixed error reporting for hublist download
* Same server but different port is now properly considered a different hub (tha
nks sedulus)
* Last entered parameter for user commands is now remembered (%[line:...])
* VC6 projects files brought up-to-date
* Added a DLL to the installation procedure to make sure we get good debug info
under older windows versions (research
by todd pederzani)
* Fixed attempt to access f: I think (it seems that the debug info generator tri
es to access f: when dc++ crashes,
because microsoft compiled their stuff from f:...untested, I don't have any f:
=)
* Update to some confirmation dialog (thanks todd pederzani)
* Partially changed back to the 0.233 code for uploads (since the new one seems
to cause upload performance problems)
* The queue is now only bolded when an file is finished.
* Added away indicator in the main status bar (thanks todd pederzani)
* Added finished uploads frame (thanks todd pederzani)
* Added finished bold disable option (thanks todd pederzani)
* Minor adjustments to the sort order
* Added anti-fragmentation feature. When downloading, it creates a file of the e
xpected target size with unspecified
content. If the download fails, the file is truncated to the size DC++ thinks
it has downloaded, and
resume should work fine. If DC++ crashes, you'll lose the whole downloaded par
t + any resumed part as well, as
there's no way to know how much valid data there is in the file. Disabled by d
efault.
* Added a few keyboard shortcuts here and there
* Fixed bug with SFV retrying (files will now properly be retried _once_ beforer
a source is discarded)
* The maximization state of the inner windows is now remebered, default to maxim
ized first time.
-- 0.24 2003-03-11 --
* The splash screen is now correctly centered (we thank Vladimir Marko for this
important patch =)
* Added ADLSearch, a new search filter for browsing files, submitted/made by Hen
rik Engström.
* Local ip handling improved, so that a per-hub ip is used if nothing is entered
in the active field (good for
people who connect to local hubs or through different network cards)
* You can now use $ and | in the chat. DC++ uses the HTML standard &#36; and &#1
24; to replace them...some people
might not like this because it's different than the escape sequence used in th
e lock, but I prefer a standard way
of escaping that's not limited to numbers below 999...later on, perhaps I'll a
dd full &-escaping support so that
people will be able to send all kinds of strange characters. The same escpace
sequences are used in the description
and email.
* Incoming connections are now handled in a completely different, more effective
way (one thread less...). This could
perhaps help with the multicpu/hyperthreading issue, but I doubt it...
* Fixed a crash-at-exit in the debug build
* Fixed a bug causing missing search results (thanks opera)
* Another go at the case insensitive string comp bug (tried with a queue file th
at was reported not to work so...)
* Added custom per-hub user description to favorite hubs (thanks todd pederzani)
* Some code cleanup and minor fixes
* Updated H: tag. It now looks like H:x/y/z where x, y, and z are normal, regist
ered and op hubs respectively. It
is updated roughly once a minute, but if you're disconnected, the count won't
go down until the window is closed
(i e hubs you're trying to reconnect to count as well, to avoid too many updat
es being sent to the hub). Also,
note that there's a problem with the op count. All op's will first be counted
as registered users, and then,
when they're fully logged in the count will be updated. This is a protocol lim
itation and there's not much to
do about it (although, most of the time you shouldn't notice, if the hub sends
the op list fast enough...). This
release also fixes a bug where the count was not correctly updated across all
hubs.
* To avoid confusion when receiving text pasted from the chat, "- " is inserted
whenever a line starts with '<' or
'[' in the main and private chat (so that it won't look like somebody else is
writing a message)
* I think you can now use %-shortcuts in the nick when specifying user commands
(%[line:] does not work tho...)
* Doubled interval between autosearches (2 minutes now, and 60 between each rese
arch of the same file), this to
ease the bandwidth load on busy hubs
* Favorites, users and user commands are now saved to a separate file. The old o
nes will still be loaded for a
few versions...
* Added info about current directory/selection to the file listing browser
-- 0.233 2003-02-24 --
* Back to normal...
* Fixed a small bug with disappearing tray icon (thanks vladimir marko)
* Fixed a major bug in the case insensitive string compares resulting in 100% cp
u/crashes in certain cases
(specially with filenames that contain international characters). This should
also fix sort problems
and perhaps some search problems as well...
* Fixed some problems with file lists not refreshing correctly when they were be
ing downloaded at the same time.
* Added option to disable the hourly automatic share refresher
* Fixed another Finished Files crash -- now it *should* work, I actually tested
it once this time...
* Fixed a "dc++ would not shutdown" bug (thanks todd pederzani)
* Fixed another thing with hub lists being unnecessarily downloaded (thanks todd
pederzani)
* Fixed a bug with opening faulty .bz2 file lists (thanks who)
* Fixed a bug with whole descriptions not being visible in the settings
-- 0.232 2003-02-14 --
* Fixed a bug when temp download directory was missing '\' in the end
* Fixed another crash when disk full bug
* Files containing $'s are no longer added to share (can't be downloaded later o
n...) (this is a protocol limitation)
* Changed the "download whole directory" back to the old way of working (see 0.2
3 notes), it turned out that i didn't
like it and neither did anyone at the forum seem to do...maybe I'll think of s
omething better later on...
* Fixed the move file thing (properly this time, I hope)
* Fixed edit boxes being enabled when option was not in logs&sound settings (tha
nks todd pederzani)
* Fixed "add shared directory" modality (thanks todd pederzani)
* Fixed finished files crash
* Added an icon for the finished downloads to the toolbar (thanks todd pederzani
)
* The main icon now contains a 48x48 icon as well (thanks todd pederzani)
* I hope the owner of the picture doesn't sue me / mind =)...
-- 0.231 2003-02-04 --
* Minor speedup in the string tokenizer (silly...)
* Fixed missing search results when searching without type (fix also provides a
tiny speedup when being searched)
* Fixed a silly assertion fault in the debug build
* Fixed the single file move crash (together with "wrong file moved", same bug)
* Fixed so that a user won't be granted a slot when using a "free" slot if disco
nnected because of the
autodisconnect feature (thanks Todd Pederzani)
* The tab control now supports more than one row
* In the tab chevron menu, those windows that have updated (that would have been
bold) now have a dot
* The download queue tab now goes bold if something about the queue has updated
(download finished/added/failed/etc)
* The message edit box in the hub and pm windows now uses the font selected in t
he settings
* The finished files frame now goes bold when new items are finished
* Fixed some of the problems when not viewing the directory tree in the queue. T
here might be some bugs left tho,
haven't tested...
-- 0.23 2003-01-30 --
* New release policy, I'll wait a few days with the "new version" nag, just to s
ee if a release is ok (doesn't have
any fatal bugs in it). If you want to be on the bleeding edge, either subscrib
e to the release notification on
sourceforge or check it every now and then. The same goes for the link on http
://dcplusplus.sf.net (i e the download
will only be available from http://www.sf.net/projects/dcplusplus in the files
section).
* Removed the -Debug zip file. The debug information is now included in all publ
ic releases of DC++, this to rid
the debug forums of crash reports with missing debug information. There are no
performance penalties from having
the debug symbols, they are loaded on demand (and if you're really deperate fo
r disk space, you can remove the .pdb
file). This of course makes the distribution download a bit bigger, an unfortu
nate side-effect...
* Fixed a bug in the uninstaller (it didn't remove DCPlusPlus.pdb if installed)
* Fixed a bug with the user commands (PM didn't work)
* Some fixes to queue moving (moving to targets that already exist in queue now
adds the sources of the old file
to the existing target instead of just ignoring them...)
* Changed the way "download whole directory" works. It now downloads the files d
irectly to the directory you've
chosen, i e if you download the directory "mp3" to "x:\down" all files from "m
p3" will end up in "x:\down"
instead of "x:\down\mp3". This makes it easier to add files when somebody's ch
anged the directory name but not the
filenames (common with rar/ace sets). If you download to the default download
directory, the directory is created
(i e "default\mp3" in the example). Now I only have to decide whether I like t
his change or not...
* Cleanup of the VC7 Project files
* The number of uploads slots is now shown as negative if it exceeds the specifi
ed number of slots (because of auto-
open or granting). We'll see how long it takes until someone reports this as a
bug...
* Added ability to set default away message (hm...perhaps this should use the la
st message set?)
* Redesigned the appearance dialog a bit (like the advanced options now)
* If DC++ receives "banned" during the login phase, it'll stop automatically rec
onnecting (nöjd nu, nev? =)
* The splash screen no longer shows on the task bar (avoids flicker when loading
is fast) and is not topmost (use
alt-esc instead of alt-tab to switch to it if you lose it...and it can't be an
option because it's shown prior to
any settings being loaded).
* Hublist is no longer loaded in the background by default when starting the app
lication.
* Fixed some proxy connection problems for the hublist (thanks Ondrea (or is it
Ondra or Ondrej? =))
* Disabled automatic opening of the hublist. You can reenable it in the settings
(this is to save some
bandwidth on the hub list servers).
* The hublist http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/PublicHubList.config has been re
placed by
http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/PublicHubList.config.bz2 (the same, but bzip
ped, sourceforge didn't like
the load on their servers...)
* Fixed a bug when returning compressed file search results
* Changed the way string compares are done, this should fix the sorting and sear
ching problems with different
charsets. All string compares are now done based on the user's locale, so sear
ching users that use a different charset
might yield unexpected results.
* Automatic search now searches with type if possible (to ease the load on clien
ts)
* Fixed a disk full crash
* Added "Close all disconnected hubs" to the Window menu (thanks Kenneth Skovhed
e)
* Added /favorite to pm window to add user as a favorite user (/fav also works)
(thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
* Added /favorite to hub window to add hub to favorite hubs (/fav also works) (t

* Added "Grant slot" to transfers right-click menu (thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
* Added "Add to favorites" to transfers right-click menu (thanks Kenneth Skovhed
e)
* Added "Open folder" to finished downloads frame (thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
* Performance increase in search 1: When somebody searches with a type (document
, video, etc), directories that
don't contain the specified type are not searched. If people use search types
a lot, this should be a significant
improvement. To make this work out good, keep different file types in differen
t directories, and smaller parts of
your share will be searched. This will work better when more people have updat
ed their clients so that autosearch
uses types as well.
* Performance increase in search 2: Words frequently searched for are filtered o
ut earlier in the search, so that
only directories that contain a specific word are searched. This is based on t
he observation that a lot of the
contain either their suffix (mp3 or avi for example), or some other frequently
searched words. By only searching
directories that for sure contain one of these words, we eliminate a lot of us
eless searching. In this first
implementation, the list of words is static, but later on I'll add dynamic ada
ption, so that it's really only the
most frequently words that make it to the list (thanks to Vladimir Marko for i
dea and research, to find out more
see his post on http://dcplusplus.sf.net/forum in Protocol Alley (perfincrease
1 is based on the same kind of thinking))
* Fixed the hourly automatic share refresher (this is done with a low priority t
hread)
* Highest priority downloads are now always started (even if the exceed the spee
d & max downloads limits), this way
important files, file lists and small files always get downloaded...(uhm, this
might have the side effect that a
list download might disconnect another slot if a file change for the other one
 occurs during the list transfer...
if this becomes a problem, I'll look into it "later" =) (completely untested..
.hope it doesn't break downloading =)
-- 0.22 2003-01-05 --
* The forums are up again! On a new address though, http://dcplusplus.sf.net/for
um...
* Added nice installer. It's big because it comes with the debug info, if you ju
st want a zip as in the old versions,
you can find it on http://sf.net/projects/dcplusplus.
* Fixed a bug with files being added to the queue without target directory. This
caused quite a lot of strange
behaviour ranging from hang at startup to empty queues and crashing deletes. H
opefully, I fixed it proper,
but rereport the bugs if you still have problems...
*WARNING - WARNING - WARNING* if you upgrade to 0.22, all old queue items that
are missing a directory in the
target file-name will be removed. Don't upgrade if your queue is precious to y
ou, and you didn't have anything
in the default download directory box in the settings (finish it with version
0.181
or edit your queue.xml file and add a directory to all targets without...). (t
hanks fusbar for finding it)
* Added so that only files with the same extension are visible in the download t
o menus (this was actually done in 0.21
but I forgot to write it down...=)
* Fixed a bug where dc++ would stop listening to incoming connections, causing c
onnection timeouts in active mode
* Right-click menu now works for all nicks (even outside < and >)
* Fixed width of some status bars when font size differs from mine (I think...wh
y would anyone want to change anyway? =)
* Fixed height of edit controls when font size differs from mine
* Added the hub the user was last connected to to the finished downloads.
* Added hub to the logging (see readme for available parameters)
* Fixed a bug in speed calculation in the finished downloads frame (for resumed
downloads)
* Last known hub is now shown in pm window when user goes offline
* Progress bars can now be disabled in the advanced settings
* Added user-customizable right-click menu commands to the hub windows (to send
commands to hub bots)
* Advanced settings dialog remade a bit
* Fixed missing default setting for default download directory, making a lot of
queue items miss a target directory =)
* Fixed case sensitivity in search right-click menu
* Fixed crash when opening file lists
* Added on-the-fly SFV checking, enable it in the advanced settings. Failed file
s are removed and requeued.
* Added sfv parameter to the logging (for full list, see readme.txt) and finishe
d files frame
* Fixed startup crash when settings file was incorrectly saved (unfortunately, t
his makes you lose your settings tho)
* Fixed vc6 project file (zlib wasn't in the dependencies...come on guys, this m
uch you should be able to figure out)
* If you're translating and find any untranslated string or have problems becaus
e something can't be done in your
language (strange plurals?), add it to the bug report...(settings excluded)
-- 0.211 2002-12-26 --
* Oops, forgot to remove the transfer slowdown code when I was testing the progr
ess bars...=)
 -- 0.21 2002-12-26 --
* Some DLLs are now delay loaded, speeding up startup and initial memory usage a
tiny little bit
* Fixed so that the default copy-menu appears when rightclicking outside a nickn
ame in the hub chat
* Added "copy nickname to clipboard" to the hub chat right click menu
* Fixed a directory searching bug (no directory search results when hubname cont
ained a space...*sigh*) (thanks xeroc)
* Fixed returning of own search results (oops, some debug code left...)
* More work on the queue internals (should hopefully fix the bug when an item is
reported as running even though it's
not)
* Fixed some issues with 0-byte files in the queue (an unnecessary disconnection
occurred)
* More work on the queue window; File lists now have a separate folder, fixed vi
ewing of right-click menus so that
they only show the commands that actually work depending on selection count.
* Fixed / Improved the sorting of the transfer status. It is now always sorted a
s running downloads -
connecting downloads - uploads (unless you flip the sort order...doh!)
* Added beautiful progress bars to the transfers area (hej ullis =)
* Added exact byte size to the search window
* Fixed a bug with directory downloading from other dc++ users (that use the .bz
filelist)
* Incomplete file lists are now deleted on failure.
* Fixed the socks resolve setting bug (somebody will have to try the DNS resolut
ion itself though...can't do)
* Added "no-tree-mode" to the queue. The queue window then shows the full list o
f queueitems (if possible,
the number of items it can show depends on your operating system)
* The search window now uses non-colored icons (system or dc++), I didn't like t
he coloring anyway, will think
of something better later on...
* Some minor changes to the settings dialogs...preparing for making translation
possible...
* Fixed port changing bug (DC++ would still listen to the old port until restart
ed)
* Added debug-build-type error reporting to the release builds as well. Now, if
supported by the OS, dc++ will emit
a useful bug report whenever it crashes. If you have a lot of problems with dc
++ crashing, you should download
the debug information from www.sourceforge.net/projects/dcplusplus, and then,
when reporting the bug, include
the generated "extenedinfo.txt" file. Do not report the crash unless you have
this file and have downloaded the
debug information file.
The extended tracing code is in part written by Zoltan Csizmadia (zoltan_csizm
adia@yahoo.com), found it on
some web site. (
* Added moving of files in the queue (experimental)
* Fixed bug when a '\' was not added to the temp downloads directory
* Right-click menu works for joins and parts as well now (changed the format of
the join/part message =)
* Fixed a lockup bug (transfer speeds would not update among other things...)
-- 0.20 --
* Collective thanks to all who have donated $$$ to me, I didn't think people wou
ld do it, but they
actually have, amounts ranging from $1 to $200...keep 'em coming =) (keep in m
ind tho that paypal steals 30 cents
and some percentage (4 i think) from me when you pay with a credit card). Oh,
I think you can also donate in
(euros) now, which is, of course, my preferred currency =)
* The forum and lichlord.org are currently down for maintenance, and the owner i
s waiting for new network equipment.
I would open an alternative forum if I could get the old posts, but because al
l network connections to the server are broken it's difficult to get the ol
d posts out of it for the moment (physical access to the server is somewhat
limited). For the most desperate ones, I opened a new conference on sourceforg
e (where the old forums were) that
you can use, or if you feel like it, try one of the forums that people have pu
t up on their own (I won't read
them though, don't have time). Anyway, lichlord should be up soon I hope...
* This release is completely untested (more or less, i'm in the third world (ita
ly...amazing that this country made
it to the G7, and is still actually there...)), and is most problably not very
stable. If it crashes, I don't
want to know about it unless you're using the debug version (that most probabl
y doesn't work with w98), that
generates an exceptioninfo.txt file. If you report a crash bug ("unhandled exc
eption"), make sure you include
this file in the report, otherwise it's a waste of your time writing and my ti
me deleting. I do not recommend
this version for those who are comfortable with 0.181...
* I've decided to clear the bug and feature request forum of all posts, regardle
ss of whether they have been
fixed/implemented or not, because of the ridiculous amount of duplicates. I ap
ologize to those that made valid, new
fresh and interesting requests, but because of all double-posting idiots, I ca
n't keep up with things. I've tagged all
the closed requests as "out of date", and I kindly ask the original authors to
reopen their posts if they still
consider them valid and non-duplicate. You can find them by browsing for close
d posts. Also, before posting a feature
request, check that the feature is not already implemented (by looking in the
settings for instance). It is not
exactly a sign of intelligence to suggest features that already exist...and th
ere seems to be an alarming number of
stupid people out there...
* The CVS is not up to date (because of the retarded firewall at my school...)
* Clicking on a users name with ctrl pressed opens a pm window (thanks opera)
* Clicking on a users name with shift downloads the users file list (thanks oper
a)
* Right-clicking on a name in the chat will bring up the user menu (thanks opera
)
* Fixed a bug in the startup procedure resulting in a crash sometimes
* Fixed bug that window size was set to 0 when dc++ was turned of while being mi
nimized, resulting in "missing
dc++ window" on startup
* Added socks5 support (more or less...no gssapi support), works like passive mo
de. M:5 means socks5 in the <++ tag.
(No, I won't be adding socks4 as it doesn't support UDP forwarding)
* Myinfo is now sent out roughly every 1-2 minutes if something has changed hub-
count-wise (was 10-20 min before)
* Added directory downloading (from the search window, unfinished, not sure if i
t works, experimental,
kids, don't do it at home, dangerous...)
* Fixed some random bugs and very uncommon memory leaks
* Fixed the ordering in the right-click menus so that "browse" and recent dirs a
ppear first
* Added directory (folder) searching
* .ogg and .wma are now returned when someone searches for audio files
* .txt and .nfo are now returned when someone searches for documents
* .divx is now returned when someone searches for videos
* .gif and .jpg (!) are now returned when someone searches for pictures (oops, m
ust have missed them
when reverse engineering the original .exe...=)
* Note; the extended search results only work if the client being searched is a
new dc++...
* Improved XML handling (much less memory used on queue load)
* Speeded up queue save a lot, shouldn't take any notable amount of memory eithe
r (for those with large
(10000+ files) queues), although if you have a queue that large you should per
haps consider your queuing
strategy...
* Added total bytes and average speed to finished downloads window
* A random free port between 1025 and 32000 is now used in active mode, unless a
port specifically has been set. This
port is changed on every restart to avoid problems with networks where traffic
on certain ports is limited or
banned. If you have a firewall that requires a certain port to be used (incomi
ng traffic), go to the settings
and set it (your best pick is a random one in the above noted range) (setting
not kept from previous version).
DC++ requires that both TCP and UDP data can reach the client on this port. To
find out the ip/port currently
in use, type /connection in a hub window.
* Failed downloads are now not put at the beginning to avoid having partial unfi
nished downloads
* The queue window now has a tree instead of a list to the left
* Added a common controls version check to rid the support forum of (at least so
me of the) stupid questions
* Spaces are now trimmed from most ip addresses
* Added O: in the <++ tag, it means that the user is using the speedautoopen slo
t feature, and the number is the kb/s
setting. IMHO this is a much better way of measuring the whole slots thing, an
d in future releases S: may become
optional if the min upload speed feature is turned on (a good topic for the dc
++ forums...). Uhm, in other words,
if the current total upload speed of a user is lower than the number after O:,
dc++ will automatically open another
slot.
* Some internal changes in the queue handling (might cause trouble, untested)
* The notepad content is now saved in a file called "Notepad.txt" in the dc++ ma
in directory instead of the xml file
* Fixed the file search and made it search a bit more accoring to the sort order
* Fixed so that the same string won't be added to the recent searches list
* Queue is now indexed by a map instead of a hash resulting in slightly more cpu
use (if you have a huge queue)
but queue is ordered accoring to filename to avoid partially downloaded direct
ories (when saved, queue is now sorted
by target location and will be downloaded in that order when reloaded from dis
k...)
* Fixed so that focus is correctly set to the message input edit box in the hub
chat window when changing back to dc++
* Recreates filelisting if it's missing on request from another user (if it's be
en deleted that is...). This effectively
stops the "delete filelist"-cheat.
* Added automatic disconnection of uploads if a user leaves the hub. This is a s
omewhat controversial feature
that disconnects any uploads to a user if the user leaves the hub (or is kicke
d...). If an upload is cancelled
in this way, a free slot is granted to the user being kicked, in case that the
user was unwillingly disconnected
from the hub and returns within 10 minutes. This effectively prevents the "jum
p into hub, start a bunch of downloads,
and exit the hub"-cheat, without the cheater being able to do anything about i
t. It is off by default, turn on in
the settings.
* Alt-S sends a message in the chats
* The PM window now correctly shows when a user goes on/offline and doesn't send
the message if the user is offline
(so that you don't lose it from the edit box)
-- 0.181 2002-08-12 --
* Fixed a nick changing bug
* Fixed some vc6 project build settings
* Fixed some minor vc6 compatibility issues
* Fixed some issues with invalid filenames (names containing invalid characters,
should also fix
the file downloaded but missing from the download directory error) (thanks Kyr
re Aalerud)
* Added so that the user name appears at top level of the directory tree in the
browse file list window
so that directory totals for the top directories can be seen, untested, might
cause problems but shouldn't...
* Main window state (maximized and so on) and size are saved on exit (and restor
ed I think =)
* Kick messages are now correctly filtered (even when status line in chat settin
g is on)
* Fixed an issue with very long path names (win9x can't handle path names longer
than 260 chars),
these will now generate an error
* Fixed the speed display of very fast transfers (>4 mb/s)
* Fixed a bug where a bad file list could cause dc++ to crash
* Fixed the loading of list view column orders
* Added so that doubleclicking on usernames in the main chat (<nick>) will selec
t the user in the user list
* Added so that doubleclicking words starting with http://, www. and ftp:// will
open the link
* Fixed a bug with bad hublist server names (empty ones, not starting with http:
//...)
* Added WM_ENDSESSION handling so that the queue and settings are saved when shu
tting down the computer
* Added auto-away on minimize option
* Fixed restoring window to maximized state after minimizing to tray
* Added a "small send buffer" option that should help users that are having down
load problems when others leech
from them...basically, this makes the outgoing packet size smaller (1k instead
of 16k), leaving more bandwidth
for acks to flow through...it also makes sending less efficient, specially for
high bandwidth users, so don't
turn it on unless you have to...hard disk reading performance will be worse as
well with this option enabled...
* Added paypal-donate menu option to help
-- 0.18 2002-07-01 --
* Added a finished downloads window
* Added temporary download directory option
* Added support for dchub://hubip:port and dchub://hubip:port/nick (will downloa
d that users filelist) (partially
by Luca Rota, thanks) (completely untested)
* Sort by slots in search is now secondarily sorted by open slots
* Fixed sort by priority in queue window
* Fixed "don't remove dupes" option
* Improved performance a bit when there were a lot of "no free download slots"
* Fixed missing join messages
* Shift-enter in hub send message instead of adding a newline to the text (use c
trl-enter for newlines)
(because a lot of people can't type properly and keep holding shift when press
ing enter...I hear old (60+)
people often do this...=)
* More changes to the autosearch, it should now be more random and therefore yie
ld better results...
* Old download queues (pre 0.174) are no longer loaded
* Added better error handling on failed downloads
* Added a column to the queue window that shows which sources have failed and wh
y
* Major changes in the connection queue handling for better stability in the fut
ure
* Added doxygen configuration file. To generate a very nice overview of the dc++
sources
download doxygen (Www.doxygen.org) and graphviz (search google), then check do
xyfile
for the proper paths, and then type start doxygen in the project directory
* Removed sources are no longed automatically readded by the autosearch feature
* Added option to readd a removed/bad source from the queue window
* Added option to remove a user from all queued downloads from the transfer wind
ow
-- 0.177 2002-06-07 --
* Improved performance on "File not available" (connection / slot is now kept)
* Remove source on "File Not Available" is no longer an option. Don't ask why.
* Changed the queue back to the old behaviour, that files are downloaded in the
order they're added (to avoid
having all the smallest files of multiple unfinished directories)
* Fixed some queue random crash bugs
* Fixed the wrong transfer icon bug (I think...)
* Improved overall queue performance (again...=)
* Fixed a small bug that caused some unnecessary traffic to the hub (nmdc works
this way, every time a user logs
on, his info is requested from the hub, but this request is unnecessary as the
info is sent out automatically
to all users, in nmhub v1.0.25 at least...complain if I'm wrong...)
* Fixed the long shutdown time when a _very_ slow transfer was in progress
* Added some other minor bandwidth saving features (only the users that need to
be updated are updated when
reviewing the user list after having closed it for a while)
* More potential connection timeout fixed (go, farcry, go!)
* Fixed some minor client-client protocol issues
* Fixed some more faulty "user offline" errors
* Made autosearch more effective (much less hub bandwidth usage...)
* Added a tiny splash sceen (no gfx, just text...)
* Added a search hit counter to the search spy
* Fixed a small redrawing bug in the tabs at the bottom
* Fixed the sort by slots in search results
* Fixed the slow upload speeds I think...at least it should be a bit better...
* Switched to vc.net...we'll see if it's any good...

* Fixed a small bug in the search frame
* Made "Full row select" default
* Fixed some serious random crash bugs
* Fixed a w95/98 bug that sometimes caused text not to be displayed

) that don't provide a decent buffer
* Worked some more on the socket handling in general
* Fixed a crash when trying to use an invalid %[...] log message
* Fixed some issues with online users being reported as offline
* Added option to disable the user listing. This saves _a lot_ of CPU, memory an
d bandwidth for both user and hub
(Note; this also disables hub share and user totals, as well as connection typ
e in the search)
* Fixed some issues with reloading user lists
* Added so that autogranting upload slots is done with a minimum 30 second delay
(to avoid slot races where everyone
gets a slot before the average upload has adjusted itself...)
* Limited description length to 35 characters (excluding the <++ tag...)
* Changed so that second "/away <msg>" updates the away message instead of disab
ling away mode. "/away"
without message still enables default msg first time and disables away mode se
cond...
* Fixed so that only one connection / hub is opened (even when being redirected.

* Fixed a 100% cpu bug (thanks zc...stoopid nmdc hub, sending strange things...)
* Fixed dupe search filter
* Fixed bad total transfers info (you have to edit/remove dcplusplus.xml to make
it display correct values
if 0.174 got it wrong)
-- 0.174 2002-05-17 --
* Fixed a tray icon bug (thanks andreas kronquist)
* Fixed a minor search results bug (thanks andreas kronquist)
* Fixed a redirection bug
* Changed so that the average speed is calculated as a running average over the
last 30 seconds (instead of
the whole transfer time...the value in the log file is still a whole file aver
age)
* Added some advanced logging options (log format now customizable)
* Found a bug in the msvc7 optimizer...after a small workaround, my vc7-compiled
build seems quite stable
* Search spammers are now ignored for 2 full minutes before they're given respon
ses again
* Fixed so that multiple search results from the same user are not shown
* Fixed a few case (in)sensistivity issues
* Huge performance increase on large queues with many sources / download
* Changed the order of downloads, smaller files with equal priority are now down
loaded first
* Added two more priorities
* Tray icon is now redisplayed if explorer crashes
* Queue is now saved to a separate file, and updated 6 times as often (old queue
will still be loaded in
this version)
* Fixed some minor hublist bugs
* Fixed unknown error 0x0 (I think...)
* Fixed min speed autogrant slot (was counting bytes instead of kilobytes...=)
* Fixed hidden directory sharing (not sharing...)

-- 0.173 2002-04-29 --
* Fixed some minor debug mode bugs
* Fixed some vc7 compatibility issues, but some initial experiments show that th
ere are stability problems
when compiling with optimization on..._STL::list seems to generate a lot of cr
ashes...
* Fixed win95 missing explorer icons bug (?)
* Fixed the <16kb and file list extra slots bug
* Added some stuff to the search spy (useless features are the best...=)
* Fixed some hub counter issues, and updated the counter so that it only counts
hubs that you've logged in to
at least once (this should lead to a more stable hub count, especially when co
nnecting the first time...)
* Fixed automatic redirect following
* Improved user list performance and fixed a few user list bugs
* Fixed various user and share counting bugs
* Added file searching to directory listings
* Improved the autosearch algorithm a little bit
* Fixed some issues with autoconnecting to favorite hubs
* Changed the way rollback works, it is now more tightly integrated with write b
uffer size. Write buffer
size will now be used as a cutoff, so that the last <writebuffersize> bytes wi
ll be removed and then
<rollbacksize> bytes will be compared to see if it's the same file. Recommende
d values for write buffer
is 64kb or your hard disk cluster size (Low-speed connectees might wish to use
a lower buffer, as it
this many bytes are redownloaded if the file has to be resumed). If you set wr
ite buffering to 0 the old
(pre-writebuffering) routines will be used which are still considered safer (w
hen ++ crashes...).
Recommended rollback is 1024 bytes, or 4096 if you want to be extra safe.
* Fixed search for alternates bug
* Fixed so that dupe searches are not added to the drop-down box
* Fixed some right-click bugs in the tab at the bottom
* Fixed tab click minimization bug when window was maximized
* Added minimize all windows (thanks Anton M)
* Improved viewing performance of most list views (less unneccesary sorting)

* Disabled connecting to oneself. Use "open file list" to see what your share lo
oks like!
* Added so that op:s always can download the file list (regardless of open slots
)
 -- 0.172 2002-04-28 --
* Changed so that only bz-lists can be downloaded using the extra slot (since th
ey're smaller...)
* Fixed size column in download queue
* Added last known hub viewing for users that are offline (not saved between dc+

* Added /-commands to pm windows as well (most of them anyway...)
* Added /grant to pm window
* Added /close to close a window
* Added a very short /help message
* Added latest version to about dialog box
* Fixed windows maximization state change
* Added an option to use system icons when browsing files
* Added support for bzip2-compressed hub list downloading (also, the full hub li
st will only be available in bzip2 format to
ease the load on the dc++ list server)
* Added some info to the tooltip when dc++ is minimized to the tray (stats are f
or transfers only, hub traffic is not counted in...)
* Changed the slots info at the bottom to show free slots instead of taken (to a
void confusion when viewing the search results...)

* Fixed some minor UI issues
* Set default sorting to nick in the users list
* Fixed a bug that caused some temporary files not to be deleted
* Increased number of search results returned when searching in active mode to 1
0 (instead of 5...10 is much better as you can search
for 10 disks at a time in a rar/ace-set), passive mode is still 5
* Added option to automatically open an extra slot if current upload speed is le
ss than a certain kb/sec
* When sorting users by nick, op's are now put on top/bottom (ascending/descendi

* Added option to send status messages to main chat
* Added option to show joins/parts in main chat, and /showjoins command to toggl

* Fixed resume bug
* Fixed rollback bug
* Fixed upload slots bug
* Fixed some minor download queue bugs
* Tried a different approach to the download problems in 0.12. When implementing
different user nicks on different hubs,
I had to change some of the download code to something that I'm not sure will
work with the original client,
that's why you've had so many problems with 0.12. Please remember that this is
still alpha software, and that
I release these versions this frequently so that 1) you have the latest of the
latest and 2) so that I have someone
who does the testing for me to speed up development...anyway, keep on reportin
g them bugs and one day, they will be gone!!
