De makers van de peer-to-peer client Kazaa hebben twee dagen geleden de final 2.5 versie van de Kazaa Media Desktop vrijgegeven. Een voorbeeld van een van de nieuwigheden is de toevoeging van voorgaande zoekresultaten en een verbeterde zoeksnelheid. Helaas ontbreekt een changelog, maar hier kun je een overzicht zien van de vernieuwingen:
Upgraded Security and Improved User CommunicationWith v2.5, Kazaa Media Desktop improves its position as the most secure P2P experience available by enhancing the virus protection from BullGuard. Enabled by default when Kazaa v2.5 is installed, BullGuard is designed to quarantine and delete dangerous files shared via P2P. The certified Kazaa Media Desktop, available only from kazaa.com or through download.com, is the only P2P application with built-in virus protection. Kazaa v2.5 also includes additional, easy to understand messaging for users in the installer and throughout the application.
“Recognizing the increasing popularity of Kazaa Media Desktop, we aim to educate new users about the ‘road rules’ of safe and responsible peer-to-peer usage,” Hemming said.
Additional Search FeaturesThe core functions of Kazaa Media Desktop are improved in v2.5 with tabs for previous search results and improved advanced search. Based on their participation level, users can search up to five times more in 2.5 than previous versions.
