Ants P2P is designed to protect the identity of its users by using a series of middle-men nodes to transfer files from the source to destination. As additional security, transfers are Point to Point secured and EndPoint to EndPoint secured.
Change Log:
1) The IRC client is now more compatible with other IRC clients. This is because the peer discovery procedure is now embedded in CTCP IRC commands… no more private messages… If you want to find out more about his read on, otherwise just skip down to number two.
When you use an IRC chat you have channel messages, private messages and commands. The former version used private messages in order to exchange IP’s in the discovery phase. This created problems because users connecting to ants-peers only for chat purpose got “commandcode” messages in private. So it was impossible for a user using MIRC to connect to ants-peers and to chat with ants users. Now the discovery phase uses CTCP commands. CTCP commands are a different type of command you can use in IRC. There is a set of default commands for joining channels, fingering users etc. You can also define new set of commands not in the original RFC. These commands are ignored by common IRC client, but not by ants… Ants exploits the new defined commands to exchange IP’s in the discovery phase… in MIRC you will see again the commandcode message, but it will appear only in the status window…
2) The Ants icon morphs only when you are connected to other peers… so you can see if you have neighbors simply by watching the traybar. Formerly when you started ants the icon began morphing so this wasn’t helpful… now it morphs only when you have peers so you can be actually aware of your connection state.
3) Query/Download/Upload file names are now visualized in full length… before the names were truncated.
4) When a new version is released the setting file is kept and no longer deleted.
5) Recursive subdirectory sharing. All the subdirectories within a shared directory will be shared.
6) Liquid skin… Liquid Look and Feel is an open source project hosted on sourceforge it simulates a Mac skin. I’m planning to make the look and feel configurable. At he moment this is a purely visual effect and a test for what is to come next. I will give it a configurable look and feel (that is a skin).
If you get any errors updating Ants, just delete the .jnlp belonging to ants on your harddrive. Do a search on .jnlp to find it. Delete the one that refers to Ants P2P. Then re-download from the web site.
