| eMule 0.45b released |
05.02.2005 20:42 by Admin
Dear eMule users,
eMule 0.45 is now available and offering a number of bugfixes and several improvements like the new Mini eMule status window.
For all the details, check out the complete changelog below!
eMule 0.45b addresses some bugs which made it into 0.45a, most important a potential bug in kad which could lead to a freeze. We recommend all 0.45a users (and of course also users of older versions) to update.
Win9x users only:
The following has to be installed on Win9x/ME only -- it enables the Unicode functionality for eMule on those OSes.
Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/ME Systems (MSLU) version 1.0
So - download the new eMule client - and have fun.
Your eMule-Team
0.45b.: Fixed a bug related to the new kad-filecomments which would cause eMule to freeze [thx gcostanza]
.: Fixed a bug related to the udp-server protocol which could emule let drop packets or if malicious crafted freeze [kry]
.: The downloadwindow now remembers the 4 last sort orders and uses them as secondary sort orders
.: A displaybug in the uploadwindow has been fixed
.: A problem which caused eMule to call the onlinehelp even if an appropriate helpfile was available has been fixed[cml]
Ornis: Fixed lowercased path entries in the shared files list
Ornis: Fixed issue with autoresum after file completion
Ornis: Fixed secure identitfication statistics with a >100% entry
0.45a ----------------------
- Jan, 25rd 2005 -
----------------------
Ornis: little updates in the web interface to category items, remember last used category in session, display first results on new search)
Ornis: statistic graphs: added vertical marker for every hour and enlarged statistic update delay [CB mod]
Ornis: added command line argument to reload ipfilter: "emule.exe reloadipf"
Unk: Corrected a issue where the keyword or source index was not restored.
.: Fixed bug with wrong user-id/IP for http sources [thx SiRoB]
----------------------
- Jan, 23rd 2005 -
----------------------
Unk: Fix a possible situation that may cause kad to not store sources.
Unk: Removed some unneeded parameters in the search class.
Unk: Added "Notes" for kad. Currently used to store file comments.. (Will not work until a majority of users upgrade.)
Unk: The time between Kad file source reasks slowly adjusts over time to ease up on overhead and redundant results. (Let the source exchange do it's job..)
----------------------
- Jan, 17th 2005 -
----------------------
Unk: Some general cleanup in some code when Kad thread was integrated to the main thread.
Unk: Fixed Download List sort bug where sources could be displayed with the wrong file. (Fix by KinkyJohn)

Ornis: coloring of search results customizable via skin
----------------------
- Jan, 16th 2005 -
----------------------
Unk: The AddOnNextConnect flag we gave to lowID users that missed their uploadslot still didn't work well as the user had to reconnect within a specific window.
- Now that flaged user can reconnect anytime that doesn't violate the protocol and get the upload slot.
- Only one user can have that slot at any given time to avoid the uploadlist from getting out of hand just in case more then one lowID user got flaged.
- Once a user is removed from the upload list, this slot is available again.
Unk: Relaxed the conditions for users to enter the upload queue of a lowID client.
- We still monitor for users on the upload list that try to get around the lowID callback limits through servers.
- We do not monitor Kad users on the upload list as the callbacks are all currently valid.

- Connection test: eMule can check, if your selected ports are working for eMule
Also, check out the following additional releases:The following has to be installed on Win9x/ME only -- it enables the Unicode functionality for eMule on those OSes.
Microsoft Layer for Unicode on Windows 95/98/ME Systems (MSLU) version 1.0
So - download the new eMule client - and have fun.
Your eMule-Team
And now in more detail, the complete changelog:

----------------------
- Sep, 2nd 2004 -
----------------------
Unk: Kad now remembers Kad's last open/firewall state during the recheck process to prevent temporary false reports.
Unk: It now takes two consecutive matching IP responses for Kad to change your current known IP to help filter bad responses.
.: Updated MobileMule protocol to 0.9a (bugfix)

.: Introduced additional new hashsystem (AICH Hashs) which will reduce the average amount of dataloss when a part is corrupted from
4.64MB (with ICH) to 180KB. The system is most effective when using links with attached AICH hash, which eMule can now also create
Please refer check the helpfiles/onlinehelp for more information about this new feature.
IMPORTANT: Due to the additional hash algorithm, eMule has to rehash all your shared files - this is a one-time thing, which can't be avoided.

- Aug, 8th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Resume next now uses a4af order: Alphabetical order if enabled for a category, cat-prios, file-prios etc. If you select "Resume next" in a category popup menu, it will only resume a file in that category; none if no file is paused in that category.

- Aug, 4th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: improved No Needed Parts a4af management. Will now occasionally reask lower prio nnp files on a source, if all files are nnp on that file. This will prevent it from remaining on the highest prio file when it's nnp and lower prio files has stopped being nnp since last checked.

----------------------
zz: Fixed USS bug to make it survive rare occasions when no earlier ttls is pingable than the differing ttl is found.
zz: Fixed bug that didn't resume/pause/stop all files in a category when context message for a category is used.
----------------------
- Jul, 12th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Prevent client that doesn't currently have an upload slot from successfully adding blocks to their request queue. This prevents us from sending these blocks when the client then receives an upload slot.
----------------------
- Jul, 7th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Small fix to make eMule request sources for files in the same order as the a4af priority (a4af auto, cat prio, file prio, alpha).
zz: Show which upload slots are in standby, with status text and graying them out.
----------------------
- Jul, 6th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Soft queue limit at whatever entered in preferences. Hard queue limit 25% higher. When soft limit is reached, eMule only allow high credit clients, or clients that want high prio files, to get on queue.
unk: Fixed an priority bug that cause lower priority files overseed high priority files. Also hopefully lowered some cpu cycles with this change.
----------------------
- Jul, 5th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: "Try to get preview parts first" selectable on individual files if "Try to get preview parts first" is disabled in preferences. Please note that "Advanced mode controls" (tweak prefs) needs to be enabled for this menu option to show up.

| eMule v0.43b released |
02.07.2004 17:54 by Ornis
Update (2004-07-05)
v0.43b Hotfix
Due to a bug in the PeerCache implementation, we released a hotfix, with the following changes:
-Fixed a bug which let eMule reject most available PeerCaches
-Statistics (requests,accepted requests,transfered) of partfiles are now saved and restored too (like for shared files)
-Opens less slots if UploadSpeedSense lowers upload limit
Dear eMule users,
You had to wait quite a long time for this release, though you'll see that
the time waiting was worth it.
The highlights of the 0.43 series of eMule are:- PeerCache. A technology developed by Joltid Ltd. which lets you download/upload
files from ISP cache servers to reduce traffic and to improve download speeds. - HTTP eD2K links. eMule can now download files concurrently from eD2K network as well as from HTTP servers to improve download speed.
- Windows XP firewall support to help users with LowID problems.
- More security and efficiency in dealing with malicious, bots or just flawed clients.
- ZZ's DownloadManager. Get the file(s) you want even faster.
- Improved ZZ's UploadBandwidthThrottler. Smoother upload and lower overhead.
- Many improvements in SMIRC client.
- And a full set of bug fixes and other improvements.
Also, check out the following additional releases:
- LinkCreator. A small stand alone tool for creating eD2K links for particular files and adding HTTP sources.
- VideoLAN Client 0.7.2 eMule partfile plugin. A plug in for the well known video player which lets you preview eMule partfiles more efficiently.
So - download the new eMule client - and have fun.
Your eMule-Team
And now in more detail, the complete changelog:
Bugfixes:
Dont show 'new message' loginfo for filtered messages

SMIRC will now get available user modes from the server on connect to allow it to use servers that use non standard usermodes.
Fixed bug with inaccurate completed size for part files.
Couple of minor bug fixes and optimisations in bar shader related usage for part files and downloading/uploading clients.
Fixed bug which sometimes draws randomly yellow blocks for sources.
Category-wide resume will now also care for out-of-diskspace-paused downloads

SMIRC connection status could get a little messed up and not tell the user it failed to connect. (fix)
Fixed crash with downloading of several files with same filename and reloading the shared files list.
Fixed bug with duplicate scrollbars in search window.
Fixed bug with receiving of new ed2k meta tags which used a too large tag type range for string types.
Changes:
Option to block people from adding you as a friend through SMIRC.
Option to auto resume paused downloads only for same category as a completed download (additional to option of prefering same category)
More security and efficiency in dealing with malicious, bots or just flawed clients.
Added some protocol procedure sanity checks to avoid getting flooded by bugged clients.

Changed the equal-for-all implementation in upload bandwidth throttler to minimize packet fragmentation on tcp level.
Reworked searching via web interface in relation to file type search parameter. (New web templates!)
Changed option to remove dead servers: Any server which exceeds a max. failure limit is removed from server list.
Added 'Document' file type for published files and also to search parameter for eD2K and Kad.
Splitted statistics to be stored in 'Statistics.ini'
Added unzipping of IP filter files from PeerGuardian ZIP files.
Completely reworked the gui structure for SMIRC.
SMIRC will now get available channel modes from the server on connect.

Added server LowID statistics to Server and Statistics window.
Added stats for showing amount of data saved by I.C.H.

Files without hashsets are no longer shared until they are completed or a hashset was received.
Added support for HTTP redirection for websources.

Kad search expression parsing: The Kad keyword is now part of the ed2k search expression to support ' ' expressions.
Removed auto restoring of search parameters when a search results tab is selected and/or closed.
Reworked saving of onlinesig.dat to provide better support for other applications which are reading that file concurrently.
Changed all file shareing modes (at OS level only) to allow read only access by other applications.
eD2K and Kad searches are shown as still active or stopped with an appropriate icon in the search results list.
Inactive search results panes show new received search results with red colored text in tab control
Features:
eMule now supports PeerCache, a technology which allows ISPs to reduce the bandwidth usage by caching instead of throttling the downloadspeed
eMule can open the ports it needs on the internal WinXP(SP1 or 0) firewall itself either permanently (connection pref) or on each startup (extended settings)
Improved a4af manager. Set the file you want first to 'high' download priority (priorities now effects a4af decisions). You can chose to get the files in a category in their alphabetical order.
Added downloading from http:// sources.

| eMule v0.42b released |
27.02.2004 21:51 by Ornis
Dear Users!
Finally, the Kademlia supporting eMule v0.42b is open available for all users. The imlemented Kademlia protocol allows eMules to work also without any server. (optional)
Nevertheless we want to point out, that this is an alpha version. Since this version is quite new to the large userbase, the Kad-network is disabled by default, but all curious users and testers can enabled it in the connection preferences.
This was a relative long time since the previous release. The delay is based on the major coding efforts for this new version, but also because of a lack of time for some devs and the known legal hassle recently.
So, enjoy the new version! :)

Your eMule-Team
The changelog since the last testversion:
-Ornis: Several minor corrections on the GUI
-bluecow: Several changes and optimizations to verbose log options.
-Unk: Hopefully reduced keyword overhead some more by only publishing complete files.
-bluecow: Added new connection state icon showing seperate eD2K and Kad network connection state and seperate LowID/HighID.
-bluecow: Added new AVI file parsing code for getting attributes in File Info dialog.
-bluecow: Added a thread for getting audio/video attributes of multiple files when using File Info dialog.
-bluecow: Added optional support for MediaInfoLib (http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net) for viewing audio/video attributes of part and shared files. This feature is optional and will only be used if version 0.4.0.1 of MediaInfoLib (MediaInfo.DLL) is copied to eMule application folder.
-bluecow: Added merging of audio/video attributes in File Info dialog. All audio/video attributes from all selected (part) files are merged to verify if selected files are of same audio/video format.
-bluecow: Added new column to search results showing local file info.
-bluecow: Search type or shared files list request is shown in each search results tab.
bluecow: Added automatic creation of 'downloads.txt' file in eMule application folder. This file holds the current part file names and related ed2k links to recover more easily after lost part.met files.
-bluecow: Windows thumbs.db files with missing system file attribute are no longer shared.
-bluecow: Thoroughly handling of max. nick name length.
-bluecow: Tweaked tab controls in server window/chat window to show unread log/chat messages.
-bluecow: Added caching of webservices menu entries.
-bluecow: Fixed multi threading issue with file completion.
-bluecow: Fixed some problems with duplicate entries in known file list and shared file list.
-bluecow: Added a lot of protocol logging and debugging code.
-bluecow: Several optimizations in processing search expressions for keyword index.
-bluecow: Reworked UDP socket exception handling.
-Unk: Split source and keyword indexing to allow specific tweaking later.
-bluecow: Added more logging options in Extended Settings.
-Unk: Kad now allows smaller local networks if you turn off LANIP filtering. (This should only be used for debuging and testing)
-Unk: A lot of Kad has been converted to use CSafeMemFile.. To finish converting all, we need to convert the Kad's Tags and Kad's Taglist to work with it..
-Unk: When duplicates are found in the KnownFileList, the stats are now merged..
-bluecow: Reworked internal storage of preferences.
-bluecow: Fixed bug with downloads added from search result in paused mode which dropped possible found sources.
-unk: Redid the knownfilelist.. Before you could have multi entires.
-bluecow: Fixed bug with Kad keyword publishing list due to renaming a shared file which was completed in current session.
-bluecow:Fixed bug in Kad search with implicit ANDed search expressions.
-.: Merging of the extended trayicon menue [eMule+]
-bluecow: Reworked IP filter
- Optimized IP filter lookup for less CPU load.
- Optimized loading of IP filter files.
- Added merge of overlapping and adjacent filter ranges.
- More safety in determining format of IP filter files (support for eMule IP filter and PeerGuardian file formats).
- More tolerance in eMule IP filter format files (level and description is now optional).
- Added IP filter dialog for basic editing and viewing IP filters (accessible via Tool menu).
- Added IP filter rule hit statistics.
-Unk: Fixed a bug in the UDP port that resent UDP packets to dead clients.
-Unk: Major rewrite of the Kad code..
- Kad is now part of eMule's thread so we don't have to worry about Sync issues.
- Although many will say that this is a performance loss, I feel the the simplification of the code out ways this.
- Kad will now use eMule's UDP port (And eMule's TCP port in the future) instead of their own.
-bluecow: New data (packet + files) processing code for less CPU load.
-Unk: Fixed a few issues that occured when a partfile became a complete file.
-bluecow: Fixed bug with wrong category directory shown for new created downloads.
-bluecow: Fixed printf-flaw with category directories.
-bluecow: Fixed problem with empty file data packets which could corrupt the gap list.
-bluecow: Fixed timing issue in PerfLog module.
-bluecow: Fixed statistics bug with ICH in download session category.
-bluecow: Fixed: If the very first downloaded part of a file was recovered by ICH, the file was though not shared until another part was completed without ICH.
-Unk: Incoming ExtendedFileInfo was done without checking the version number.
- This fix seems to have found that a couple older eMule Mods and Shareaza (And maybe a some other mods) are sending the wrong version number here.
- They say they support the ExtendedFileInfo which makes us send the our info, but they in return do not send it to us when we are expecting it..
-Unk: A part of the ED2K protocol has been redone into a eMule protocol. This allows us to do several ED2K type packets with just one packet hopeing to save overhead.
-Unk: The UDP file reask now updates the FileStatus and it transmits all the ExtendedFileInfo.
-Unk: File reasks have been extended for less overhead.
-Unk: Source exchange times have been adjusted for less overhead. (May have to set the received source request time check back to older values so older clients don't suffer. Needs testing.)
-Unk: The switch for processing sources for a download had some fall through bugs.
-Unk: There was a bug the allowed the client to send a UDP and TCP file reask at the same time.
-Unk: NNP sources was allowed to do a UDP reask which does not update our chunk info.. So, this was a wasted packet..
-Unk: It was possible (But unlikely) for the client to send a UDP reask to a client he has never done a TCP reask..
-Unk: AskForDownload() now returns a result so we know if the source was deleted.
-Unk: Only count sent Kad overhead that was actually sent, not queued or failed..
-Unk: Clients even without a valid file request could still get on the queue.
-Unk: There were three different methods creating a per file upload list. Some of them rebuilt this list each time needed. We now maintain an upload list per each client in real time to avoid this.
- Update: there is a bug that allows the same file to be in the KnownFileList.. This messes up this real time management..
- For the moment, there is a debug code in the client the saves from creating dangling pointers..
- This code will be removed once we fix the issues..
-Unk: Source exhange for a complete file is now like part files, you only send sources that has chunks the user needs.
-Ornis: IPFilter - file can be now in peerguardian-format as well
-Ornis: Preferences/Security: option to download the ipfilter-file from an URL
-Ornis: Fix: Handling of deleting files, which are currently into diskspace allocation
-bluecow: View Shared Files command of remote clients is disabled if client published that he does not support that feature.
-bluecow: Fixed bug in viewing shared files from remote client - shared part files were not shown.
-bluecow: Reduced memory usage of client instances #2.
-bluecow: Fixed Kad UDP socket usage to avoid loss of packets to send.
-bluecow: Optimized client listview controls for less CPU load.
-bluecow: Fixed several flaws in context menus, shortcuts and usage of middle mouse button.
-Unk: Try to filter self sources better.
-Unk: We receive all incoming Kad sources now. (Was a bug that blocked them if the file got a lot of sources from a server or source exchange)
-Unk: Again LowID Callbacks were messing up because of Kad and ED2K states. This is now checked more closly.
-Unk: Nodal searches for publishing extended to allow full publish. Nodal searches for sources is lessened to reduce overhead with very rare files.
-bluecow: Some changes for more proper Winsock initialisation and termination.
-bluecow: Fixed and added some statistics for file data transfer.
-Unk: Nodal lookups are now deleted with a delay when allowed. In other words, we try not to waste delayed incoming result packets.
-Unk: There is a bug with the experation timer to Nodal lookups when you exhausted all pending contacts.
-Unk: Keyword republishing is delayed longer to lower overhead.

| eMule v0.41b.29 Kad Test Client |
08.01.2004 19:59 by John
 What is this client?
This is a test client of eMule that has a new Kademlia based network included. The new network is an alternative to the servers. With this client, you have the option to connect to a server, connect to Kad, or both. The Kad network is still in the testing phase; therefore, some things may not work as planed. If you experience problems with this client, try connecting to the servers only or revert back to v0.30e.
