DC++ 0.883 is out

September 13, 2025 by Leave a comment

This year’s new DC++ release has just been put out. It is primarily a bugfix release, addressing some minor but rather complex problems that have existed in the client for several years.

The changelog in the DC++ help lists the important bug fixes, with links to the official bug tracker entries where all the sympthoms and reasons behind the fixes are explained in detail.

The following are the most notable additional, user-visible changes:

  • From now on, DC++ supports connecting to secure NMDC (with nmdcs:// URI in the address) hubs but still doesn’t, and likely never will, support secure NMDC client-to-client connections. The reasoning behind the decision, as to why so and why now, is available and discussed in this bug entry and in particular, in this comment.
  • Some public hublists allow hub owners to specify an alternative, secure hub address beside the main one (mostly for having an option to connect to the same hub using an encrypted connection). With this release, DC++ starts supporting this feature by displaying the more secure address option in the hub lists, when it is available.
  • The MiniUPnPc port mapper gets a Broad device detection option, introduced mainly as a response to this support conversation. The mapper code now also returns better identification of the device to the logs, which can be used to determine exactly which device a port-mapping operation happens on.

For complete information on all of the fixes, please refer to the list of commits. As usual, DC++ 0.883 will be advertised as a testing release first for a small set of the userbase, starting today. This new version should go stable later, in case no problems are reported in the testing period of roughly two weeks.

ADC 1.0.4 and ADC Extensions 1.0.9 have been released

May 8, 2025 by Leave a comment

A new version of the base ADC protocol, version 1.0.4 and ADC Extensions, version 1.0.9 is now released.

The base protocol document has been updated with smaller additions that had remained unreleased for quite a while. The extensions document received a few similar updates and now also includes the final draft of the CCPM (client to client private messages) extension.

Both documents have undergone an extensive editorial revision to eliminate typos, mistakes and broken links.

For the complete list of changes please refer to the Version history within each document or visit the ADC project’s home website.

DC++ 0.881 is out

November 7, 2023 by Leave a comment

A new DC++ release has been made available to download this week. Version 0.881 continues to be a largely code maintenance release, however, this time it also comes with some improvements on the user interface as well.

First and foremost with this release DC++ is moved to a modern compiler platform that produces an executable that shoud be considered secure and acceptable by modern Windows versions long term, with their default security settings. Since these defaults can change and go stricter at anytime it is highly recommended for users running Windows 11 to upgrade their DC++ to version 0.881.

There’s also a revamp of many icons throughout the user interface which makes DC++ more fit visually to modern Windows themes. An away status indicator overlay is also added to the taskbar icon. The look of the list of users and their details in the Users window has been modernized as well; more of this kind of improvements to come in the next release.

The optimized (64-bit) build is now compiled with use of SSE4.2 CPU instructions making further improvements in performance for those with capable hardware. We still provide a legacy (32-bit) build for users with older computers.

Plenty of supporting libraries that DC++ has built in have also been upgraded to the latest and greatest versions, improving security and stability.

There are also many less important or unlisted improvements; for a complete list of fixes as always please refer to the changelog or the list of commits.

As usual, the availability of this new testing release will be advertised at the start of the program for a small set of the userbase from now. If no bigger problems are reported, DC++ 0.881 will be set as a stable release within a few weeks.

ADCH++ now more then an empty shell

September 30, 2009 by Leave a comment

Hey people back again doing a monolog here on the blog this time its about ADCH++ 2.3

We all know that the last release wasn’t a big success but i wanna show of the new features in ADCH++ , it was more then a year ago since we had a release on ADCH++ and much new stuff has been added into it.

So what are the new features:

User Commands, ADCS (preliminary implementation), more scripts for the soft.

There is also a doxygen included in the BZR repo at launchpad for anyone that wants to make a plugin in C++ or make lua scripts or python script all you have to do is download Doxygen to make the documentation we will host the documentation at ADCH++ webspace on Sourceforge also.

I really wanna commend poy for his efforts put into this version of ADCH++ and listening to input and feedback with this version things can only get better in the future of ADCH++

We are still looking for a GUI maker so if your out there and think you got what it takes drop into DCDev Public and talk to us or drop the source of at launchpad.

and we hope that suggestions for ADCH++ will come up at our tracker on Launchpad so we can get your input for what your missing in ADCH++ or possible bugs thats giving your problems.

So people out there give it a go and say what you think about it :)
