Vandaag kwam versie 1.8.3 uit van xMule, de crossplatform versie van eMule. Het programma draait op FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS X en Windows. Net zoals zijn grote broer verbindt het naar het eDonkey-netwerk om daar bestanden te zoeken en te downloaden. Het changelog bericht ons over de volgende wijzigingen:
- Fixed: Only update global search results when search either stops or is cancelled. Prevents an obnoxious screen flicker.
- Fixed: Major memory leak that occured in CPartFile.
- Fixed: Added a workaround so that buggy eMule 0.43 clients will now upload to xMule clients instead of leeching as before.
- Fixed: Several bugfixes in the base client implementation.
- Added: Embedded resource system for New FlowChart Prefs.
- Added: xMule can now be minized to the taskbar.
- Updated OP_SERVERIDENT to handle more ed2k servers.
- Require wx 2.4.2 at compile time.
- Warn user when changing dangerous FlowChart settings.
- Start search when ENTER is pressed in the query textbox.
- Leecher protection: Do not upload to clients that routinely will not upload to xMule due to their own implementations of the ed2k protocol.
- Server messages function has been upgraded to multiline messages.
- Reimplemented MAP for lists. Improved efficiency and less crashes.
- Added FlowChart option to ban probable leech clients (Off by default).
