Direct Connect: Just These Guys, Ya Know?

Blog Topic Suggestion Box

While I’ve been managing this Blog for some time (and the previous two as well), I’ve had little to no requests for post-topics.

While my e-mail, and Todd’s, and arne’s, and… is shown here and in other places, I guess people are hesitant to send a mail.

So, feel free to post here in this post if you want me or anyone else to talk about a certain topic. Or explain a certain feature. Or explain a particular bug. Or…

Please note that it’s very difficult for us to answer questions about a particular modification of DC++ or even a different client. (To increase the chances of us talking about a feature in another mod/client, have the feature/question be generalized.)

(Of course, browse the blog or FAQ first. Your topic may have already been discussed.)

Please add further comments here.

Updating current and old posts

There is a particular thing I don’t like when it involves certain posts.

Like the previous Credit post or the TTH-Version post.

When I’m writing a post here, I’m essentially setting what I say to stone. And that is something I want to avoid, particularly if it involve things that are prone to change. Like who is credited or what the new TTH of a version is.

So, to improve the (*joke*) gigantic interactivity (/*joke*) here, I would appreciate if people would drop a comment in the following posts when things change.

Credits
TTHversion
Different ADC clients

Thanks all.

(If you notice some other post that require the same attention, feel free to post.)

Credits

After creating a feature or fixing a bug, and the patch is included in DC++, arne (usually) add your name or pseudonym to the changelog (“thanks yourname”). If you haven’t contributed patches before, he also add your name/pseudonym to DC++’s About Box. Since I don’t think these people and projects are getting deserved credit for everything, here’s that list of people and projects that have contributed to DC++;

DC++ uses libzip2, thanks to Julian R Steward and team for providing it.
DC++uses STLPort (www.stlport.org), a most excellent STL package.
DC++ also utilize zlib.
DC++ includes GeoIP data created by MaxMind, available from http://maxmind.com/.
DC++ uses yassl from www.yassl.com, thanks to Todd Ouska and Larry Stefonic.

And they keep coming

DC++ 0.697 is now out. Nothing special, just a few fixes. The nick-bug is fixed though.

0.11 of ADC is released!

Version 0.12 of the ADC protocol is now released. An .odt is also available if you want that… A summary of what has been changed (arne’s words); Differences are few and far between; D type messages replaced by E (as in echo), the new D type does not have to be echoed back to the originator; some new INF field; Added BZIP as extension for files.xml.bz2
Here’s a diff if you want to see exactly was has changed.
