eMule v.26a is available!

eMule v26a is now available for download. There have been many bug fixes and new protocol additions.

Again, this is a Alpha version. So, if you have any major problems, return to v.25b.

Here is the changelog:

• Ornis: fixed reset serverlog crash

• Unk: Fixed security hole. (beef2k)

• Unk: Created a new algorithm to smooth out the spikeing TCP connections. This will help several things..

• Spiking CPU & Bandwidth when many sources are added or reasked.

• Help with conflicts between Source Exchange and UDP file reasks allowing UDP to be used more lowering the need for TCP and overhead.

• Unk: Irc: Fixed another bug that could cause a crash when you close a channel.

• Unk: Queue size is now adjustable.. (FYI: Contrary to belief, queue size has NOTHING to do with the amount of bandwidth overhead..)

• Unk: File buffer size is now adjustable. If you are one of them people that is having problems with the buffer, try lowering it.

• Unk: Download file priorities are now usable for rechecking sources.

• Unk: Some clients may be reporting completed file status. Did some changes to hopefully stop this.

• Unk: Added queue rank of Hybrid eDonkey clients.

• Unk: Fixed protocol to allow eMule to stay in the Hybrid's queue.
