This message pops up for anyone who starts up DC++ v0.181:
- Collective thanks to all who have donated $$$ to me, I didn’t think people would do it, but they actually have, amounts ranging from $1 to 200…keep ‘em coming =) (keep in mind tho that paypal steals 30 cents and some percentage (4 i think) from me when you pay with a credit card). Oh, I think you can also donate in Euros now. which is. of course. my preferred currency =)
- The forum and lichlord.org are currently down for maintenance, and the owner is waiting for new network equipment. I would open an alternative forum if I could get the old posts, but because all network connections to the server are broken it’s difficult to get the old posts out of it for the moment (physical access to the server is somewhat limited). For the most desperate ones, I opened a new conference on sourceforge (where the old forums were) that you can use, or if you feel like it, try one of the forums that people have put up on their own (I won’t read them though, don’t have time). Anyway, lichlord should be up soon I hope…
- This release is completely untested (more or less, i’m in the third world (italy…amazing that this country made it to the G7, and is still actually there…=)) and is most probably not very stable. If it crashes, I don’t know want to know about it unless you’re using the debug version (that most probably doesn’t work with w98), that generates an exceptioninfo.txt file. If you report a crash bug (“unhandled exception”), make sure you include this file in the report, otherwise it’s a waste of your time writing and my time deleting. I do not recommend this version for those who are comfortable with v0.181…
- I’ve decided to clear the bug and feature request forum of all posts, regardless of whether they have been fixed/implemented or not, because of the rediculous amount of duplicates. I apologize to those that made valid, new fresh and interesting requests, but because of all double-posting idios, I can’t keep up with things. I’be tagged all the close requests as “out of date”, and I kindly ask the original authors to reopen their posts if they consider them valid and non-duplicate. You can find them by browsing for closed posts. Also, before posting a feature request, check that the feature is not already implemented (by looking in the settings for instance). It is not exactly a sign of intelligence to suggest features that already exist…and there seems to be an alarming number of stupid people out there…
- The CVS is not up to date (because of the retarded firewall at my school…)
- There is a lot of important information about this release in the changelog, regarding changed settings. Make sure you’ve read it thorougly before doing stupid things…
