Op het weblog hebben de ontwikkelaars van DC++ in de vorm van 0.700 een nieuwe onstabiele versie beschikbaar gesteld. De nieuwe versie kan vanaf deze pagina voor Windows gedownload worden. DC++ is een filesharingprogramma dat gebruikers in staat stelt om via peer-2-peer bestanden te delen. Beheerders van de zogenoemde hubs kunnen hun server door middel van diverse instellingen en features naar eigen wens aanpassen. Zo zijn slots aan clients toe te wijzen en kunnen gebruikers via de ingebouwde chatapplicatie met elkaar communiceren. De release notes van DC++ 0.700 zien er als volgt uit:
Ok, so 0.700 took a while longer than I had planned but well, here we are. It’s more of a preview of what’s to come, right now it’s pretty unstable (it’ll crash pretty often), I don’t trust the new queue code (so it might corrupt your downloads) and it’s compiled with a technology preview compiler (so it might actually be someone else’s fault that it crashes =)
