Slyck.com: How are things looking for the release of WinMX 4.0? Last time we spoke, estimates were placed some time around the New Year.
Frontcode: Probably not going to be done by the end of the month as I had hoped, but we’re getting there.
Slyck.com: There are several problems with the chat function, such as the Rich Code Text Exploit and Nushi hacks. There is also the problem with administering the channel when the host is not around. What kinds of improvements are planned for the chat function?
Frontcode: The RichText exploit of the riched32 dll has been solved with a work-around within the client. The other issue of non-host channel administration will
also be addressed.
Slyck.com: Will Nushi and other third party clients be allow to connect to the chat network?
Frontcode: Unknown, I’m not familiar with these third-party clients.
Slyck.com: A large portion of the network uses third-party add-ons to control who may download from them based upon if the user is sharing. Will an “anti-leech” function be added to 4.0?
Frontcode: It may, if it is required. There are many improvements to 4.0 that may reduce the need for any “anti-leech” measures, so we are waiting to see how things go during the beta test.
