Change Log:

----------------------
- Jan 05th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed several flaws in client and server overhead computation. (Note: You will see somehow increased overhead).
bluecow: Added Kademlia overhead statistics.
bluecow: Added client protocol handshake validation.
bluecow: To avoid spreading of false meta data, any (already) received meta data is dropped and locally created by examining file contents only.
bluecow: Fixed bug server connection duration statistics [Gnaddelwarz]
Unk: We delay publishing keywords to avoid spamming network with users that only stay connected for a very short time.

----------------------
- Jan 04th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Added thread safe synchronous command processing to Kad listener socket.
bluecow: Added explicit removing of file block requests for disconnected client to avoid file completion problems.
bluecow: Fixed sorting problems in shared files list control.
bluecow: Fixed very tricky bug in structured exception handling of client TCP socket.
bluecow: Already received but not processed packets are discarded after a client was disconnected.
bluecow: Fixed a potential client deletion crash bug related to IP filter.
bluecow: Added client protocol procedure state error log messages.

----------------------
- Dec 31th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Changed Log messaging from Kad to Emule to a thread safe method. win98 should be able to run a little better now.. But, there seem to still be issues.
Ornis:Sharefileslistcontrol offers rename,delete,open it's folder via contextmenu for files
(deletes to recycle bin! use preferences.ini: RemoveFilesToBin=false, to have a eternal deletion)
Unk: Until a fix is found, we only update the clients ID when adding a Kad Contact to the list. This seems to avoid the win98 freeze.
Unk: Small change in Kad search tolerance and bootstraping.

----------------------
- Dec 30th, 2003 -
----------------------
Ornis: Downloadfile-Details, Filenametab: improved listing and sorting of the available filenames

Unk: Auto Kad bootstrap if you are trying to connect and see a Kad client.
Unk: The client now detects conflicts between UDP ports to prevent the client from freezing..
Unk: Bootstrap selectable by IP:Port or by a known Kad-client (searches your known client list for a Kad client to boot from)
bluecow: Reworked part file details dialog; added showing of several accumulated values for multiple selected part files.
bluecow: Removed Permissions column from Shared Files window (don't worry, it was never used).
bluecow: Reworked all Server-, Search-. Download- and Shared Files window context menus for supporting multiple selections.
bluecow: Fixed bug with first runtime wizard and enabled startup minimized option.

----------------------
- Dec 28th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Added a lot of exception catching to Kad and SMIRC.
Unk: Gave incoming and outgoing Kad UDP packets same priority to keep outgoing packets from backlogging.
Unk: We now keep track on how many packets are sent with Kad Node lookups.
Unk: Search Jumpstarts are now only used when the search appears to have stalled.
Unk: IRC: /hop added.

bluecow: Fixed problem with servers with IP 255.255.255.255 which could be added to the server list.

This updates the core client to 30e..

Major changes from 30e:
1) A modified zz throttler is now included for upload..
Major changes for the Kad side:
1) Keyword publishing is optimized for clustering.
2) Searches will now respond up to 300 results per node.

Thanks to everyone in the Skins thread.. I've included the skin packages in the binary release..

22-Dec-2003 [bluecow]:
Note: There is currently an eMule Mod in the network which spreads an invalid server IP (255.255.255.255). Depending on your network configuration (UDP related) and depending on your eMule server list preference settings, this may cause some troubles (mostly stalls, some mem leaks). The fix for this problem didn't take its way into this Kademlia test client. To avoid any possible problems I recommend to do the following.

*) Search your current server list for an entry with the IP 255.255.255.255. If there is one available, remove it.

*) Add the following line to ipfilter.dat (see also the FAQ how to handle the IP-filter)

*) Goto Preferences/Security and enable the option "Filter servers too (rejects dynIP-servers too)".

eMule 0.40f.26 (Kademlia Testclient)

A little background first...

Barry is a former developer that started working on creating a Kademlia client. His original goal was to create a completely new client based only on Kademlia. Also the idea was to make that client a Overnet compatable client.. Barry got some of the basic functions of it working, then disapeared from the scene.. (Hope he just got bored and left and that nothing happened to him..) Since Barry was the only one working on it at the time, none of us really continued it right away..

I then decided to continue working on it in my spare time (which was not much). But, instead of a completely new client, I would merge it into the current client.. I studied the Overnet network very hard and created a Overnet compatable eMule client. (Minus lowID support).. After looking at it very hard, I saw some issues with the Overnet protocol that I didn't like. With the network not being ours, I also wouldn't be able to change it without breaking Overnet protocol.. So, we as a team decided to do our own protocol with a modified form of Kademlia..

For those that understand Kademlia, the concept looks just fine on paper. (Check Kademlia Documentation for technical interests)
But in a pratical enviroment, the paper doesn't hold very well.. Therefore, I have tried to modify it a bit. Since this is the first real test of the client, these modifications may or may not work and will be adjusted as the test continues.. So, if you are willing to participate in the test, please update as often as possible..

If you are a Moder.. Please do NOT change anything involving the Kademlia side of the client.. One small change in the code when given to the masses can cause major pains to the network.. If you see anything that is in error or a way to improve it, create a thread here first.. If it does make things better, it will be added to the official client...
One more thing, if you felt to mod this TESTVERSION, remember that we published it here for test purposes. So dont set modded versions as regular versions or something like that!


Now to the brass tax..

The client is in a very alpha state.. Go here to read my notes about the current status of the client..
