eMule 0.49a Beta 2

eMule是一款由eDonkey2000改良而成的P2P檔案分享工具，主要解決用戶在eDonkey網路上分享與下載檔案的需求。它的辨識度特色在於能預覽未完成下載的影像或檔案，並可設定優先來源管理，讓用戶同時大量下載而不需緊盯來源。此外，它與eDonkey2000相容，資源互通，並自動偵測檔案損壞以確保正確性。在維護方面，eMule近期仍有更新，但頻率不高；在同類工具中，它屬於經典且評價不錯的選項，不過並非主流首選。

eMule適合需要下載eDonkey網路資源的用戶，尤其是偏好P2P分享、不介意英文介面的使用者。常見情境包括下載大型影音檔案或參與社群分享。與替代軟體相比，eMule採用eDonkey協議，而uTorrent走BT、IDM專注HTTP下載，因此選擇它意味著接受較慢的傳輸速度，但換取更廣的eDonkey資源。授權為開源，平台僅限Windows，且僅支援英文，使用時需留意介面語言。整體而言，它是小眾但穩定的選擇，適合特定需求。

eMule 是一款點對點（P2P）檔案分享軟體，在線上檔案分享領域中已屹立超過二十年。

由 Merkur 開發，最初於 2002 年發布，並迅速因其高效且可靠的檔案分享能力而廣受歡迎。

與其他 P2P 用戶端不同，eMule for PC 是開放原始碼軟體，意味著它由一群專注的開發者社群持續改進。

.: Fixed a bug in finding the senders of corrupt data which may lead to false positives [DavidXanatos]

-----------------------
- Feb, 10. 2008 -
-----------------------
.: Kad will now enforce certain limits when adding new contacts to the routing table: No more than 1 KadNode per IP, 2 similar KadNodes (same bin) from a /24 network and max 10 different KadNodes from a /24 network are allowed. This is supposed to make routing attacks against kad more difficult / resource-intensive
You can still run more than one kad client from a single IP without any problems, they just don't become part of the internal kad routing but still work without any limitations.

-----------------------
- Feb, 3. 2008 -
-----------------------
.: The download comments dialog has now a direct possibility to edit the comment spam filter, changes are instantly applied to all existing comments
.: Clients which sent comments which get filtered by the comment spam filter are now treated like message spammers (banned)
.: The ed2k: in ed2k-links is no longer case sensitive
.: When connecting to Ed2K eMule starts with a random server instead using first on in the server.met. Any sorting, priority, etc. is not affected by this

-----------------------
- Feb, 1. 2008 -
-----------------------
.: Several changes have been made to improve kads resistance against malicious keyword publishing:
.: Kad now keeps track which filenames were published by different sources for the same file and uses the most common name (instead the last published one) when responding search requests
.: Same hashs (files) which have different filesizes are now properly stored seperatly instead overwriting eachother
.: Kad calculates a rating based on how many different sources publish a file and how many files publishes a source. When responding to a search request, files with a rating below a set limit will be sent last in order to avoid that spammed files push out valid ones.
.: The Kad rating for published files is also sent in search results to be used in the future version as indicator

-----------------------
- Jan, 16. 2008 -
-----------------------
.: Added a general anti-flood-protection to kad. If Kad receives more request of a specific type from one IP than it would expect, it starts ignoring those requests and envetually banning the source. This is supposed to avoid or slow down several attack scenarios.
.: Fixed a problem with injection of DNS servers into the routing tables which were able to stay because of a porotcol mixup between kad and dns. Old sources with port 53 as kad port are ignored, new clients (0.49a+) can use port 53 as kad port again but it is not recommended [found by netfinity]
.: Fixed a bug in kad2 with publishing >4GB files [netfinity]

-----------------------
- Jan, 11. 2008 -
-----------------------
.: If you select a non-default incoming directory which already contains files, eMule notices you that those files are automatically shared by eMule

-----------------------
- Jan, 8. 2008 -
-----------------------
.: Added a filter box (like in the search results) for on-the-fly filtering of shared files into the shared files tab. This filter is supposed to help finding specific shared files, it has no effect on which files are actually published
.: Rearranged the symbols in the shared files directory tree a bit

-----------------------
- Dec, 15. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: The onlinehelp for the options dialog is now topic sensitive for all languages instead only for english (well actually it is not, but this is serverside work which will be done step by step till the release). More areas to get topic sensitive to come in the future
.: Open searches are now stored if you close eMule and restored on restart. This way you don't have to research your favourite words in case you didn't get to finish looking at the results. Can be disabled in Options->Display

-----------------------
- Dec, 2. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Reworked Kads Firewall handling and testing:
The kad firewall state is now split into TCP and UDP. The TCP state is basically the old state, which tests if your TCP port is reachable. The UDP state is new and checks if your UDP port is reachable. For example on Full Cone NAT Routers, without portforwarding you will get TCP firewalled (as before) but UDP open (new). If you have the UDP open state, eMule doesn't needs a buddy any longer and will fully participate in the KAD network and therefore take away the overhead they caused in earlier versions (you still cannot connect to other TCP firewalled clients if you are TCP firewalled yourself).
.: The new UDP state is shown in the MyInfo field in the Server Tab. As long as the UDP firewalltest is unfinished "(unverified)" is appended
.: Clients which have the Kad UDP open state, now support direct callbacks (invoked by an UDP packet) to connect to not firewalled clients. These callbacks are faster, more reliable and use less ressources than buddy or server callbacks.
.: The new firewall test also fixes a bug / design flaw which caused eMule to always use the use the clients source UDP port, instead testing if the internal set UDP port might be the propper choice instead. This was especially a problem on Restricted Cone Routers with PAT (Port Address Translation)

-----------------------
- Nov, 29. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug with possible wrong local IP address in case the "BindAddr" option is used.
.: Fixed bug with missing update of details of a selected friend in friends list.

-----------------------
- Nov, 24. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug in tooltips which were showing certain list items partially in bold.

-----------------------
- Nov, 19. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Added missing Unicode support for 'Static Servers' feature.

-----------------------
- Nov, 12. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed several of our listcontrols to show Windows' context menu of scrollbars
.: Added an option (Options->General) to prevent Windows from going into standby mode while eMule is running (and doing something)

-----------------------
- Nov, 11. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed bug in IRC window with channel windows opening in reverse order.
.: Fixed bug with dead servers occasionally not deleted from GUI [fox88].
.: Fixed bug with disabled E-Mail notifications on particular Windows systems [Lewpy]
.: Added showing of IRC-warning and error messages to the active channel window.
.: Added auto-activating of private IRC channel windows when self-initiating the conversation.
.: Fixed bug with extra large icons in file tooltips.
.: Fixed bug with HTTP downloads which could create a crash in case the HD is full.
.: Fixed a memory leak with failed gzip'd HTTP downloads.

-----------------------
- Nov, 07. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed garbled display of HTTP download status information

-----------------------
- October, 31. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: The messagesystem is now able to find your friends even if their IP changed if you and they are in Kad and not firewalled. This will help to stay in contact with friends longer than one session (Only works for new added/new seen friends which have Kad enabled).
.: When messaging a friend, eMule now makes sure that the userhash still matches after connecting and SecureIdent (if enabled) is passed in order to ensure that its really your friend.

-----------------------
- October, 28. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: You can now bootstrap to kad from an URL which points to a nodes.dat file (in the Kad tab)

-----------------------
- October, 22. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: In order to reduce spam messages and by this make the messagesystem more useable again, eMule now supports Captcha authentification:
If enabled, someone who messages you has first to solve a cpatcha (an image which shows letters) before the message is shown to you. Older clients who do not support captchas will be unable to message you and receive a notice about this.

-----------------------
- Jule, 11. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Added obfuscation to the Kad UDP protocol. Kad obfuscation is part of the protocol and is unrelated to the Ed2K-Obfuscation settings

-----------------------
- June, 5. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a bug which let Kad try to load its preferences from the old config directory location

-----------------------
- May, 16. 2007 -
-----------------------
.: Added Uyghur translation [translated by Abduqadir]
