Shareaza 1.8.8.3 beta: One step closer to 1.9

Taken from The Shareaza forums

Shareaza 1.8.8.3 public beta has been released.

Changes in this version

• Reduced CPU usage for hubs (and seems for leafs too)
• Rejected incoming connections (security ban list) are now never accepted. Previously they were accepted then closed. This is more efficient
• Does not ID as emule 0.1
• Uses “endgame mode” for bittorrent downloads, which may be why some could not finish (BT uses a special mode when nearing the end of a download).
• Added support for BTs with > 31 files.
• Detected and rejected BTs with > 4 GB file size (not allowed in shareaza)
• New network control “connect today” vs “connect always”, should be better
• Could not become a hub when eDonkey is enabled. I think this contributed to a significant hub shortage.
• Added “Open Torrent” button in download dialog
• Fixed problem with bittorrents never doing anything
• Added “creating” state for downloads while file is allocated
• Changed the way web links are registered (other programs cant steal them)
• Added priority servers for edonkey
• Fixed some thread sync stuff
• Created separate handshake thread
• And maybe more?
