Version 2.0.0 rc1 - The 'Mules and Rabbits love carrots' version.

Kry:

* Implemented SecureIdent (SUI) ( imported from eMule 0.30x )

This mean your credits will be lost on first run

There is no way to avoid that. Sorry Same happened with eMule.

* Send sources request for files added from search page first.

* Rewrote MuleNoteBook from gtk to a cross-platform implementation.

The code is already used by xMule too, so I guess they liked it.

* Fixed most of > 2Gb bug, except the dom's contibution you can scrolling down

* Made the .part.met load/save 100% compatible with eMule.

* Fixed the Safe_Delete bug. Seems it arised when we made the app too fast

make the developer life easier selecting what to do

list of servers to delete, or in removing all servers. Warn the user with a

I'm sorry if it rehashes every file on your system on restart, will be fixed.

different UIs (webserver, amulecmd, etc).

this aMule looks better than eMule. I'll have to take a look at this...

[Ken]

Keep in mind that MAC and WIn32 support is not functional in this release.

Looks like it's just Linux and BSD.

[method77]

you're right

[Bombardier]

That's alright. Linux really needed a decent "mule" client.

The command line interface for Overnet and emule really sucked (even with the GUI part that I could never get installed ;) )
