This update will change all your config files and queues, and it is
very probable that you won't be able to revert back to an older version
once the update has been done!!!

Added file hashing, turn it off in advanced settings (experimental)
Merkle trees and tiger hashing added for TTH hash support
Compression totally rewritten, should also fix a few minor issues
Compression (GetZBlock) and hashing (TTHSearch) is advertised to hubs through $Supports, I advise hubs to advise its users to keep at least hashes on so that searching by hashes will work efficiently (as it's only useful if all clients on the hub support it).

Max download slots default changed to 3
Max 3 slots more than max download slots are used for highest priority downloads

Added accelerator for filtering in public hubs (thanks gargoyle)
Fixed some translations (thanks ciber)
Added "downloaded bytes" to queue (thanks ciber)

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 palm, 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 lines 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 code extensively rewritten to ease future changes
Updates to the autosearch feature
Added (well, enabled) GetZBlock, a feature that makes all transfers safer by checking CRC's during the transfer and if possible, compresses. This is an experimental feature, and it might require some extra cpu, so it can be turned off in settings, turning it off will 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 example), but the extra CRC check is still done. Safe transfers are marked by a * in the active transfers 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 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 the _same_ name for no reason)
Fixed "open folder" in finished frames
Added new search for alternates algorithm with possibility to set search string yourself (thanks saurod)
Added selection of which hubs to search in (thanks saurod)
Fixed link opening in some browsers
Added NoGetINFO extension support

0.300 (2003-10-27)

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

Some minor fixes
Fixed a crash on adding items to the queue
Progress bar now has different color for selected items

Hub developers: Added section about $Supports scheme for client-hub communication 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...)
Added a smarter queue tree display, to make it less deep

ADLSearch: (by Henrik Engstr├╢m)
Keyboard shortcuts.
Context menu (back again).

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 pederzani)

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 performance that some seem to have problems with (keep in mind that SFV-checking, when enabled, slows things down on the downloading 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 myinfo 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 file in the file listing and see if there is any matching file in the queue (exact filename & size match). Every match will then be added to the queue as an extra source. Depending on your queue size and the number of files in the listing this might take some time to do...
UI updates to ADLSearch (by Henrik Engstr├╢m)

0.241 (2003-04-01)

Made the XML parser a bit more robust against bad XML data (to avoid embarassing 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/sandos)
Fixed error reporting for hublist download
Same server but different port is now properly considered a different hub (thanks 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 tries 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 expected 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 part + any resumed part as well, as there's no way to know how much valid data there is in the file. Disabled by default.
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 maximized 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 Henrik Engstr├╢m.
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 $ and | to replace them...some people might not like this because it's different than the escape sequence used in the lock, but I prefer a standard way of escaping that's not limited to numbers below 999...later on, perhaps I'll add 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 that 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, registered 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 updates 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 limitation 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 research 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 ones 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% cpu/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 being 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 on...) (this is a protocol limitation)
Changed the "download whole directory" back to the old way of working (see 0.23 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 something 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 (thanks 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 disconnected 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 the 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. There 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 see if a release is ok (doesn't have any fatal bugs in it). If you want to be on the bleeding edge, either subscribe 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 public 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 for disk space, you can remove the .pdb file). This of course makes the distribution download a bit bigger, an unfortunate 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 directly to the directory you've chosen, i e if you download the directory "mp3" to "x:\down" all files from "mp3" will end up in "x:\down" instead of "x:\down\mp3". This makes it easier to add files when somebody's changed 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 this change or not...
Cleanup of the VC7 Project files
The number of uploads slots is now shown as negative if it exceeds the specified 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 last 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 reconnecting (n∩┐╜jd 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 application.
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 replaced by http://dcplusplus.sourceforge.net/PublicHubList.config.bz2 (the same, but bzipped, 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 searching problems with different charsets. All string compares are now done based on the user's locale, so searching users that use a different charset might yield unexpected results.
Automatic search now searches with type if possible (to ease the load on clients)
Fixed a disk full crash
Added "Close all disconnected hubs" to the Window menu (thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
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) (thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
Added "Grant slot" to transfers right-click menu (thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
Added "Add to favorites" to transfers right-click menu (thanks Kenneth Skovhede)
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 different directories, and smaller parts of your share will be searched. This will work better when more people have updated their clients so that autosearch uses types as well.
Performance increase in search 2: Words frequently searched for are filtered out earlier in the search, so that only directories that contain a specific word are searched. This is based on the 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 useless searching. In this first implementation, the list of words is static, but later on I'll add dynamic adaption, so that it's really only the most frequently words that make it to the list (thanks to Vladimir Marko for idea 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 thread)
Highest priority downloads are now always started (even if the exceed the speed & 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/forum...
Added nice installer. It's big because it comes with the debug info, if you just 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. Hopefully, I fixed it proper, but rereport the bugs if you still have problems...
*** 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 you, 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...). (thanks fusbar for finding it)
*** WARNING ***
Added so that only files with the same extension are visible in the download to 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 connection 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...why 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 files are removed and requeued.
Added sfv parameter to the logging (for full list, see readme.txt) and finished files frame
Fixed startup crash when settings file was incorrectly saved (unfortunately, this makes you lose your settings tho)
Fixed vc6 project file (zlib wasn't in the dependencies...come on guys, this much you should be able to figure out)
If you're translating and find any untranslated string or have problems because 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 progress 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 nickname 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 contained 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 viewing 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 as 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 resolution itself though...can't do)
Added "no-tree-mode" to the queue. The queue window then shows the full list of 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 the 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 restarted)
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_csizmadia@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 (2002-12-06)

Collective thanks to all who have donated $$$ to me, I didn't think people would do it, but they actually have, amounts ranging from $1 to $200...keep 'em coming =) (keep in mind 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 is waiting for new network equipment. I would open an alternative forum if I could get the old posts, but because all network connections to the server are broken it's difficult to get the old 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 sourceforge (where the old forums were) that you can use, or if you feel like it, try one of the forums that people have put 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 (italy...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 probably doesn't work with w98), that generates an exceptioninfo.txt file. If you report a crash bug ("unhandled exception"), make sure you include this file in the report, otherwise it's a waste of your time writing and my time 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, regardless of whether they have been fixed/implemented or not, because of the ridiculous amount of duplicates. I apologize to those that made valid, new fresh and interesting requests, but because of all double-posting idiots, I can'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 closed 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 there 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 opera)
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 minimized, resulting in "missing dc++ window" on startup
Added socks5 support (more or less...no gssapi support), works like passive mode. 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 it 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 appear 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, must 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 either (for those with large (10000+ files) queues), although if you have a queue that large you should perhaps 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 (incoming 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 unfinished 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 some 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 slot feature, and the number is the kb/s setting. IMHO this is a much better way of measuring the whole slots thing, and 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++ main 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 directories (when saved, queue is now sorted by target location and will be downloaded in that order when reloaded from disk...)
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 been deleted that is...). This effectively stops the "delete filelist"-cheat.
Added automatic disconnection of uploads if a user leaves the hub. This is a somewhat controversial feature that disconnects any uploads to a user if the user leaves the hub (or is kicked...). 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 "jump into hub, start a bunch of downloads, and exit the hub"-cheat, without the cheater being able to do anything about it. 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 Kyrre 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 restored I think =)
Kick messages are now correctly filtered (even when status line in chat setting 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 select 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 shutting 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 download 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 download 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 ctrl-enter for newlines) (because a lot of people can't type properly and keep holding shift when pressing enter...I hear old (60+) people often do this...=)
More changes to the autosearch, it should now be more random and therefore yield 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 why
Major changes in the connection queue handling for better stability in the future
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 doxyfile 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 window

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...

0.176 (2002-05-26)

Various optimizations of search handling and list sorting for better perfomance
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
Fixed some socket issues with worthless tcp implementations (read: win95/98/me) 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 and bandwidth for both user and hub (Note; this also disables hub share and user totals, as well as connection type 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 disabling away mode. "/away" without message still enables default msg first time and disables away mode second...
Fixed so that only one connection / hub is opened (even when being redirected...)
Fixed a connection timeout bug (thanks farcry)
Fixed the update speed of a few lists (thanks farcry)

0.175 (2002-05-18)

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 average)
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 responses 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 downloaded 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 unknown error 0x0 (I think...)
Fixed min speed autogrant slot (was counting bytes instead of kilobytes...=)
Fixed hidden directory sharing (not sharing...)
Added a few icons to the search list
Added some all time stats to the about window
Fixed some searching issues
Added quick links to files of the same size when selecting multiple files with same size in the search (thanks patbateman)
Added right-click menu to the directory bar in the download queue
Fixed a crash when closing dc++
Added support for dns names in the ip field in the active mode settings (untested)
Users with same nick but on different hubs are no longer added to the queue
Added an icon for the download queue (thanks zc), more icons to come

0.173 (2002-04-29)

Fixed some minor debug mode bugs
Fixed some vc7 compatibility issues, but some initial experiments show that there are stability problems when compiling with optimization on..._STL::list seems to generate a lot of crashes...
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 connecting 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 buffer size. Write buffer size will now be used as a cutoff, so that the last <writebuffersize> bytes will be removed and then <rollbacksize> bytes will be compared to see if it's the same file. Recommended 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 write buffering to 0 the old (pre-writebuffering) routines will be used which are still considered safer (when ++ 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)
Fixed bzip2 list file opening
Disabled connecting to oneself. Use "open file list" to see what your share looks 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 they're smaller...)
Fixed size column in download queue
Added last known hub viewing for users that are offline (not saved between dc++ sessions, this would take too many resources...)
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 list 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 for transfers only, hub traffic is not counted in...)
Changed the slots info at the bottom to show free slots instead of taken (to avoid confusion when viewing the search results...)
Added deleting from search results window (use the delete button on the keyboard...)
Added option not to popup a new window for pm:s (message is shown in main chat instead unless there's already a pm window open)
Added opening of previously downloaded user file lists menu option
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 10 (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 less than a certain kb/sec
When sorting users by nick, op's are now put on top/bottom (ascending/descending)
Added automatic reindexing of file list every now and then...

Added option to send status messages to main chat
Added option to show joins/parts in main chat, and /showjoins command to toggle for the current hub
Upgraded to new WTL, which should fix a lot of minor UI bugs. This should also make it possible to compile the application in VC7.
Fixed a bug where multiple notepad frames were opened
Source code reorganization, all UI specific code moved to a separate directory (to ease code maintenance and future unix port)
Code cleanup, to be more compilant to the ISO C++ / C99 standard
First test compile with gcc (note; does not mean that I'm porting to linux...this is just for fun...lotsa' errors tho...)
Fixed a potential file corruption issue
Fixed a bug with write buffer size = 0
Fixed some random crashes
Fixed a bug where logs were not written if log directory was changed and DC++ not restarted

Fixed a small bug that might have caused some firewalls to complain (UDP packets were sometimes being sent to port 0)
Added abilitly to use bzip2 compressed file lists resulting in _a lot_ faster file list downloads (bzip2 compresses 2-4 times better than the simple huffman encoding done in nmdc. Note; this requires DC++ >0.164 in both ends and was mainly added to test the protocol extension scheme, but should be fairly useful for all the low bandwidth people out there...
Added an optional annoying noise when a private chat window is opened and / or when a pm is received
Changed the way notepad is saved, old notepad contents will disappear when you update from older versions

Fixed another hub counting bug (this is becoming annoying...gee, I should be sleeping...=)
Fixed a bug where the kick message was not sent correctly

0.161 (2002-03-18)

0.16 (2002-03-15)

Fixed a resource leak that might have caused the sudden deaths (thanks carxor)
Added saving of last kick & redirect reasons (and server...)
Added hub name to the password dialog
Changed default port to 1412, should improve compatibility with a lot of firewalls (that only allow incoming data on port >1024)

Fixed some minor ui bugs
Added options to ignore or popup messages from bots and other offline users
Fixed some more minor memory and resource leaks
Improved incoming search performance, also fixed some minor search result bugs

Some code cleanup
Added option to keep duplicate files in the dclist (but their sizes are not added to the file share total in any case)
More random crashes fixed
Added timestamps to private frames as well
Added possibility to change column order and widths
Added write buffering to reduce fragmentation when downloading multiple files
New search window with new search options (file types, free slots)
A first go at internationalization...many of the texts in DC++ can now be changed by loading a different language XML
Added some information to the description field, <++ V:x,M:x,H:x,S:x> where V = client version, M = mode (a=active, p=passive) H=number of hubs connected to where you're not a registered user, S=number of slots you have open. This is updated every 10-15 minutes.
Small performance increase in loading dclists (thanks geoff)
Added total queue size and number of queue items to the download queue window

Added a check to ensure the minimum 1 slot
Added option to keep finished downloads in the queue
Fixed a small error with the rollback

Because of a design flaw in the original dc client, I had to remove the small files and dc list extra slots feature for original dc users, but hey, it's their loss really (there's a problem with file listings closing just because "no free slots" is reported as soon as they try to download)
Fixed a private message crash
Added automatic saves every time the download list changes (now you only have to hope it doesn't crash while saving...=)
Added notepad (stupid feature really, what's wrong with windows' notepad?) (only visible in menu so far...)
Fixed missing close button on pm window (I think...can't find a window without at least...)

0.131 (2002-01-20)

Fixed the lock at start bug
Fixed the write to full disk bug (hopefully...)
Fixed a small transfer queue bug
Added an icon for the "follow redirect" thing...will probably change soon...

Fixed missing '\\' in the default download directory bug
Fixed a small bug where search responses sometimes reported -1 free slots
Fixed "Download to..." bug in search frame
Fixed some application lockups

Users can now download files <16kb and file lists regardless of free slots (!)
Readded tooltips for the toolbar buttons
Added a "Follow last redirect" to the menu (will add to toolbar later on)

0.122 (2002-01-16)

Fixed search bug
Hopefully fixed download bug, please report...

0.121 (2002-01-15)

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 reporting them bugs and one day, they will be gone!!

Added PM and browse file list to uploads right button menu as well
Huge performance increase in the user list (most noticeable when connecting to the hub and getting the initial list...)
More general ui performance fixes, it should now be a lot more responsive even when the cpu load is significant
Fixed empty search fields bug (I hope...)
Fixed some of the random crashes (major code rewrite, so I might have introduced some new ones...we'll see...=)
Changed background color to white (or whatever you have as window color), don't worry though, soon you'll be able to choose it yourselves...
Fixed case of connection type strings
The bots are now visible in the user list (Seems like they don't answer to getinfo requests...)

Changed some of the keyboard shortcuts
Limited the buffer for the chat windows to 20000 characters, after that it will start removing lines from the top (untested...)

Fixed annoying reconnect bug
Fixed annoying Private Messaging bug
Fixed search filtering bug

Thanks for all the bug reports and feature request, keep on adding them!
