What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
New features:
· Capturing the source IP address of search results received over UDP.
· Hub address is sent within the first bytes sent out over a peer connection, to help identify hubs using the people in them for launching distributed denial of service attacks.
Significant changes/fixes:
· Transfer wait list changes, fixing entries never being removed from the list after sending a ConnectToMe never establishing any connection.
· Also earlier changes to make matching in the list more precise, filling in the empty nick or IP and then later using both.
