Barely two and a half months have passed, and yet another new eMule version is on the horizont. 0.49b continues to complete the agenda of its predecessor in the 0.49 series. This means further optimizations for Kad and more important immunity against recently researched routing attacks, several improvements of the GUI for Vista users, a new UPnP implementation, easier connecting to Kad for new users and fixing of an important bug which slipped into the last version.
As a reminder, the mainfeatures of the 0.49 series are
* Major Kad protocol improvements, like Kad obfuscation, better NAT handling, Direct Callbacks, flood protections, protection against routing attacks, bootstrap nodes.dat, etc. * Several changes to the message system to get rid of spammers (by Captchas) and stay in touch with friends with dynamic IPs * Several GUI improvements like storing searches between eMule sessions, a searchfilter for shared files, improved Vista support, etc * A reworked and improved UPnP implementation * And as always fixing bugs and adding other small changes
