Het is alweer bijna vier jaar geleden dat MetaMachine de stekker uit de ontwikkeling en verspreiding van zijn eDonkey-, eDonkey 2000- en Overnet-clients trok. Toch is het alternatief, in de vorm van eMule, voor het uitwisselen van bestanden via het eDonkey-netwerk nog volop in ontwikkeling. Naast inloggen en communiceren via eDonkey-servers, kan deze client overweg met het Kademlia-protocol. De software is beschikbaar voor het Windows-platform en door de ontwikkelaars voorzien van een nieuwe bèta-uitgave. De versie is aangekomen bij nummer 0.50a bèta 2 en voorzien van de volgende lijst aanpassingen:
Version eMule 0.50a BETA2:
- Updated MiniUPnPlib to the latest version
- The download commands toolbar now handles closing by pressing the X while in floating mode properly
- The icons of the download commands toolbar are now properly drawn gray if disabled on WinXP and older Windows versions
- The new Windows7 taskbar features will no longer vanish when minimizing eMule to the system tray
- Updated libpng to the latest version
- The lables of the download commands toolbar are now properly adjusted immediately when switching to another language
