stable than the last 1.6.1 version, and connects to a lot more servers, so here
is the update.
Version 1.7.1
-------------
Un-Thesis' Contributions:
* FIXED: A bug that would cause approx 5% download sources to be deleted
unnecessarily.
* FIXED: aMule 1.1.2 bug in their ZLib implementation (look for "FIXME" in
their code heh).
* FIXED: Removed the undefined VoidList warning in mfc.cpp.
* Added ZLIB support to xMule, based on aMule 1.1.1, which is based on eMule
0.30c.
* Changed target minimum speed for each upload from 3000 bytes/sec to
2KB/sec.
* Implemented nearly 100% of aMule-1,1,2's network modifications that worked.
* Client now masquerades as eMule v0.34 heh.
* Download list now refreshes in *real* time. No more seconds delay.
* Less waiting for downloads! Fixed a broken if statement that was tossing
out some of the early download connections.
DongCheon Park's contributions:
* Updated the Korean translation files for new features in 1.7.x.
Version 1.7.0
-------------
Highlights:
* There are no known exploits in this version.

(#3 "Servername Format String Vulnerabilities").

* Remove the assign to category context menu entry only if it was
already there.

* Never share a file twice.
* Check size of OP_SERVERSTATUS packet more strictly.
* Do not display the unit for file size twice in shared file list web page.

problem with the LSD mod and other xmules.

* Avoid accepting an unrequested hashset.
* Removed memory leak from hashing thread.
* Implemented rescaling of the graph of currently active connections.

* Imported from eMule:
- Source exchange v2
- Do not swap a source to a stopped file.
- Up-/download auto-priority
- Request of shared files by directory.
- "Obtained Parts" bar in the shared files list

xMule is an easy to use multi-platform client for the ED2K Peer-to-Peer
Network. It was originally based on eMule, the popular windows-only client
for the same network. It uses the wxWindows class library.
Some of its features include Movie Preview, GTK2 Compatibility, Multi-Selection
in all lists, Tray-icon, Statistics, Source Exchange, File Commenting any many
more.
Based on the package provided in pkgsrc-wip by Marc Recht and one provided by
Pablo Méndez in private mail. Obsoletes lmule.
