eMule 0.27c [bloodymad 0.4.preview] {20.05.03}

[bloodymad]

Quick feature overview

• New: Fix of the "An attempt was made to access an unnamed file..." bug [by jicxicmic]
  A real fix for this bug of the base client.
  
• One-Queue-Per-File
  Fair chances for rare files
  Improved: Better handling of LowID-Clients, friend-slots fixed
• Reserved release slots
  Give some of your slots exclusively to release files.
• Estimated queuing time
  For clients in the upload queue a estimated waiting time is calculated.
  Improved: Estimation gets faster accurate [in development, needs work and maybe has bugs]
• Auto-nick-naming
  Don't be annoyed by thousands of http://emule-project.net/ clients.
• Mod Version Identification
  You will now see if you are connected to another client using this mod
  Improved: Lots of other mods are now also recognized
• Coutermessures against a leeching mod [by Vorlost]
  Downscoring of clients that use a popular german community leeching mod.
  
• Mod feature recognition (interesting for developers)
  System to identify mod features
• Developer tools
  diff2html, bbcode2html
• Warning: Source code not well documented
  Better wait for final 0.4 if you want tags for all changes in the sources

Downloads

Things you really should know before you use it (same as last version):

• "Try to upload full chunks" is required by the mod. The mod will enable this if you haven't already done so.
• The old "Release" priority is now called "Very high". The new "Release" is something special.

Downloads/Links:

If you want to test the release slots feature, try the edonkey download, I have it on release priority (of course only working well if i'm online...)

• Binary version, edonkey link (zip, 1106 kb)
• Source code, edonkey link (zip, 1591 kb)

More about the features

For more about the old features please see the posting for bloodymad 0.3 (at emule-project.net) or the included releasenotes (releasenotes.html).

Minor changes

• Bug with friend slots fixed
• Releases get not more that 80% of the slots
• LowID clients get fair treatment (can sometimes lead to some more upload slots than expected. Should work best with dynamic upload system)
• More mods are recognized and their names are displayed

What about base client version 0.28b?

This will come in a few days, depending how much time I have.


Viel Spass damit!
