The focus of this release is on a more intuitive GUI, more configurable downloads and more reliable bandwidth throttling.
Additionally Phex now includes the www.bluetack.co.uk – bad-host database, a ban-list, which blocks known spam- and secret service IP-ranges.
Language support has also been improved. Phex is now completely localised in German and in a funky variant: "German WortWörtlich".
And last but not least, Phex is now able to read out PodCast-files along with the known magma-lists, and to create custom rss-files with included magnet-links.
To avoid any legal hassle, Phex now states clear and unmistakeably in a dialog at first startup that users should respect their local copyright-laws, and that Phex can in no way control or monitor the content of the Gnutella Network, for this is the sole responsibility of the users, who share and download by their own choice.
Thanks to Arne Bab we have again been able to release a Mac OS X version.
