----------------------
- Oct 13th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Publishing of sources is now seperate from publishing keywords. This allows better control.
Unk: We now rotate the sources to a key better making sure the freshest sources are always first.
Unk: We also only index up to 50 sources per file since we only send a max of 50 sources to save memory.
----------------------
- Oct 12th, 2003 -
----------------------
Ornis: Webinterface: better connection separation of both networks
Ornis: Webinterface: displaying statistics fixed
----------------------
- Oct 8th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Removed previous change to Contact tree, the contact tree is now a fixed size as the network grows..
Unk: The change to the contact tree also changes when we do nodelookups and contact pings.
Unk: Added a special "me" lookup to fill the tree quickly when you've been connected for a small period of time
Unk: Added bootstrap options to the lists if your stuck at conneting on Kademlia.
1) Only works with clients that are "connected" to Kademlia.
2) v40e and up only send a KadUDP port if they are connected so we know that client is connected.
Unk: Many of the intial kademlia lookups are now delayed to avoid quick connections from spamming.
Unk: Node Lookups are now ended once we receive a answer and no longer asks evenone in the list.
Unk: Changed the prefix on emule toolbars to ".eMuleToolbar.kad1.*" so that you can seperate from the classic toolbars.
Unk: Also, the default directory for the ".eMuleToolbar.kad1.*" files are now the incoming dir. So, just download them and they are already installed.
Unk: Change the timing of when you start checking contacts to help speed up the inital connection process.
----------------------
- Oct 7th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed bug with upload list control which was not refreshed automatically [Xman1+KuSh]
bluecow: Fixed mouse/keyboard acces bug in HyperText control [MoNKi]
bluecow: Added keyboard shortcuts to main toolbar.
bluecow: Support for loading of toolbar bitmap images and taskbar notifier images with GDIPLUS.DLL if installed. Toolbar images can be transparent.
----------------------
- Oct 6th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Contact list was still growing to much. Removed one more passive contact method.
Unk: The Contact tree is now skewed even more to stop the Contact list from growning in log size.
----------------------
- Oct 5th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed bug with server warning messages which were shown as errors.
bluecow: Fixed bug with random drawn block requests in file progress bars.
----------------------
- October 4th, 2003 -
----------------------
Ornis: enhanced webinterface for some kademlia control/information
Ornis: some more localisations
Unk: New contacts are set to type 1 initially to keep dead contacts from spreading.
Unk: The client now ignores indexes are are very far from it's clientID.
1) Saves wasted memory and a little overhead.
Unk: The client now skips publishing to contacts are are very far from the target.
1) Saves from wasting other clients memory and overhead.
Unk: Fixed a major bug in the Kademlia search algorithm.
1) It now does the correct hops to find a target better.
2) Stops from doing requests from the wrong target.
bluecow: Changed several resource string loading code to support string based resource identifiers [SlugFiller+itsonlyme]
bluecow: Added: download links can contain hostname sources, instead of just ip; You can set your own hostname in preferences, and create eD2K links with
sources with your chosen hostname instead of your IP [SlugFiller+itsonlyme]
bluecow: Added speed improvements made to the bar shader, making it display much faster than before [SlugFiller]
bluecow: Added code improvements for faster sorting complete sources [SlugFiller]
bluecow: Added sorting of complete source column in shared files window [SlugFiller]
bluecow: Fixed visual bug in upload status bar [wistily]
bluecow: Added check free diskspace option which ensures that complete files can be stored [SlugFiller]
bluecow: Added check free diskspace option which ensures that a minimum of free diskspace remains available.
bluecow: Added uncompressing of NTFS compressed files for completed files.
Unk: Less Node lookups into the network.
Unk: Partfiles no longer republish into the Kademlia on every restart.
Unk: You now only publish each key to 10 targets.
1) Slightly speeds up publishing.
2) Since we are publishing faster, overhead may be a little higher.
----------------------
- October 2nd, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Protocol change.. Going to have to restart the network.. (Everyone Update!)
Unk: Kademlia searches should be far be far better.
----------------------
- October 1st, 2003 -
----------------------
Ornis: Added connect buttons to Kad and Servers.
Unk: Passive contact collection during publishing is causing the contact list to grow too large..
1) This will help the contact list to stay at a lower level..
2) Also should lower the overhead as you don't have to keep track of as many contacts..
Unk: A very unreliable user estimate.
Unk: Extended the window to publish files..
1) This allows more files to be published..
2) Reduces overhead for those not sharing a lot of files..
3) But will increase the amount of files everyone has to index.
i ) This increase in indexes will actually be testing things for when publishing speed is increased..
4) Will cause a more old sources to be indexed..
Unk: All contacts after level 4 are now checked at least once an hour.
bluecow: added the long awaited More button to search window for getting more search results from the local server.
bluecow: rewrote tooltips for transfer window to fix several small glitches.
bluecow: buffered partfile data is explicitly written to disk before a preview command is invoked.
bluecow: partfile disk usage is determined with respect to NTFS compression and/or NTFS sparse files.
----------------------
- Sep 25th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Added server TCP connection keep alive function.
bluecow: Tooltips in search results listview are shown only if Shift+Ctrl is pressed while moving the mouse over a listview item.
----------------------
- Sep 21th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Changed all integer (8,16,32,128 bit) data to little endian format at lowest (network) level.
Unk: Initial merging of eMule and eDonkey's hello packets with help from bluecow.
Unk: Created new format of eMule's version number to show more info.
Unk: Cleaned up some of the Indexing code.
Unk: Index list is now cleaned better.
Passive Cleaning) If someone does a search request and the client finds old keys to that request, they are deleted.
Acitve Cleaning) Once every 30 mins, the index is scrubbed of old keys.
----------------------
- Sep 20th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: changed all meta tags with string names into integer IDs
bluecow: changed "Length" meta tag for eMule/Kad internal to type "Integer"
bluecow: eMule/Kad tags are converted on-the-fly into ED2K tags when sent to a server or client
bluecow: received ED2K tags are converted into eMule/Kad tags; includes also ED2K tags read from known.met
bluecow: Redid Kad meta tag class to support:
- data type for nr. of meta tags (in list) changed from uint32 to uint8
- "dynamic" integer tags - this tag type selects the appropriate integer (8,16,32 bit) depending on the actually value
- data conversion functions and property functions for each tag type to support on-the-fly and easy to use data conversion without caring about the
actual data type
Unk: Search & source results are now bundled.
- If your going to recieve more then 1 result from a client, this will save 16Bytes(data)+UDP(packet overhead) for all extra results.
- Also, compression seems be able to compress these packets close to 50%.
Unk: Files with no valid keywords were able to stall publishing of all other files.. This was fixed.
Unk: Kademlia search results are now process availability a little different to try to get a better idea of availability.
----------------------
- Sep 18th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed bug with invalid client objects in upload list after a file was unshared/reshared [zegzav]
bluecow: Shared files listview and Search Results list view; Alt+DoubleClick opens Details dialog.
bluecow: Fixed several format string errors [mandrag0re]
----------------------
- Sep 16th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Any large Kad packet is now compressed.
----------------------
- Sep 15th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Added support for showing all available MP3 tag information for downloads and shared files.
Unk: Rework of the Kademlia protocol.
1) Search requests no longer sends MaxResults.
2) Search result packets now support sending more then one result per packet.
a) We still use one packet per result. This is for future expansion.
b) Once compression is added to the protocol, search results should start combining into one packets.
3) Publish request packets new support sending more then one request per packet.
a) We also still send one packet per result. This is for future expansion.
b) Once compression is added to the protocol, these requests should also start combinging into one packets.
4) Contact types went from 0-4 to 0-2.
a) This keeps a cleaner contact list
b) This also may increase overhead. Therefore, adjustment after first beta may change..
5) The contact list is set to stop Node requests when a branch in the tree reaches level 4.
a) This means that when the network is in full force, contacts will be limited. (Not sure how much yet.)
b) At the moment I allow the right most branch to continue to build.
i) This allows a client to know more clients close to it's own hash.
ii) Hopefully this allows searches to find home quicker..
iii) This may cause to much overhead and may need adjustment.
6) Kademlia Requests now sends the recievers ID.
a) This adds a little bit of security.
b) If you change your KadID, this will hopefully help remove your old ID from the system.
7) Redid how you set contact as alive.
a) You only set contacts the respond to a request as alive.
b) This keeps from scanning the contact list on EVERY packet.
1) Since we don't know the contacts ID we can't use the tree, but sequentually scan it.
2) We can't just add the contactID to the packet as we can't trust them.
c) This will most likely miss some opportunities to mark a contact as alive.
1) In some instances this wouldn't matter since it will be used in a Kad Request.
2) In other casses, it will matter as you would need to ping that client to see if it's still there.
----------------------
- Sep 14th, 2003 -
----------------------

- September 13th, 2003-
-----------------------
Unk: Fixed a bug that tried to access a Contact after deleting it.

----------------------
Unk: Indexing is now updatable..
Unk: Indexed files now have a life time.
Unk: Indexed files are now reloaded on restarts.
Unk: Fixed a bug that only published the file ID once..
Unk: Recheck firewalled periodically.. This "should" also correct your IP on those 24hr disconnect users.
Unk: Publishes no longer assumes a successful publish. It now only count successful responses.
Unk: Kademlia searches now terminate if they have no more contacts pending.
----------------------
- September 1st, 2003-
----------------------
bluecow: Meta Data and File Comments dialogs changed into property pages which are shown together with File details property sheet. All property sheet/
page related dialogs are resizeable and restore LRU size+position. Widths of columns in File Comments. File Names and Meta Data listviews saved
+restored. Same applies for Meta Data dialogs for search results and shared files.
bluecow: New "Match keywords" search option for both Jigle search methods.
----------------------
- Aug 30th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Rewrote the entire kademlia protocol.. We are no longer using Overnet..
Unk: Adding availability to publishing.
bluecow: Change in usage of search file type parameter "Program": When searching for a file of type "Program", the results are no longer locally filtered
according Windows Program Files extension (*.exe, *.com, *.bat). The eD2K file type "Program" is meant to contain all file types which are "used" by a
program like compressed archives and CD-ROM images. This means that you will get more search results than in previous versions. If you still want to
search for a Windows Program File, specify "exe" for the file extension.
bluecow: Added proxy support for IRC; all proxy settings are also used for IRC
Ornis: bugfix in webserver socket code, [Jan B.,nice bugreport]
----------------------
- Aug 29th, 2003 -
----------------------
Ornis: Filedetailsdialog restructured, + showing date of downloadstart and duration since (until now or until download completion)
Ornis: added some missing percentages in the statistic tree
Ornis: added option to scheduler, to disable the endtime and therefor make changes of an event permanent
----------------------
- August 26th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: More tweaks in the gSOAP module for better performance with Jigle server and reliable compiling by modders (always ensure that WITH_GZIP is
defined!); a Jigle search request always has to include either a file type and/or a file extension, otherwise the request will not be sent for
reducing server load; HTTP User-Agent field changed to reflect eMule version.
bluecow: Fixed several issues with the new CComboBoxEx control (keyboard interface).
bluecow: Several visual changes in the new search list view for proper windows color scheme handling and sorting of child items
----------------------
- August 24th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Added support for Jigle SOAP interface to search the Jigle database with eMule [special thanks to Melange from Jigle for offering this great
feature to eMule]

Unk: Major change to how we sent shared files to servers for better efficiency.
Unk: Overnet status are now only updated once a sec to reduce CPU overhead.
Unk: Kademlia searches are now regulated by total and type to keep from two many searches at once.
----------------------
- July 29th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: IRC: Now sorts nicks correctly.
Unk: IRC: Can now add other eMule nicks as friends.
Unk: IRC: Can now send each other ed2k links within the IRC.
Unk: IRC: Added security to Add nick and Sending links. You can choose to accept all links, links for friends only, and no links at all.
----------------------
- July 26th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Contacts are now filtered from invalid IP and Ports.
Unk: Again adjusted how dead contacts are removed.

Unk: Dead contacts are removed more efficiently.
----------------------
- July 5th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Contact type is now being updated. May later use this and "madeContact" to update the contact list a little better.
Unk: Contact list no longer shows temp contacts during searches. Also, redid how contacts are updated to limit the number of refreshes needed. (Cpu Savers)
Unk: Converted the ED2K ID system to the Hyrbids ID system to avoid false lowIDs that the ED2K ID system created and to be more compatable with the Hyrbid.
---- Also standardized the LowID checks to 2 central methods (ED2K and Hybrid). We were using several different methods to check lowID.
---- This changed a lot of code and needs tested well.
----------------------
- July 1st, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: You can now see if your files are published to a ED2K Server and/or Overnet.
Unk: You no longer republish files to a ED2K server that is already on there. This should save a lot of bandwidth and allow more files to be listed..
----------------------
- June 30th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Single keyword search requests are now processed.
Unk: Fixed a bug that could get the publishing stuck trying to publish a file over and over.
----------------------
- June 28th, 2003 -
----------------------
bluecow: Added the code to process the incoming Keyword Search Requests.
Unk: Added a simple response packet to keywords.
bluecow: Fixed a crash on exit bug.
----------------------
- June 27th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Entries in the Index list can now be removed. Which also fixes a bug with a lot of dangling pointers when restarting the overnet connection.. :)
Unk: Fixed a bug that caused all kinds of issues if you disconnected and reconnected real fast with overnet.
----------------------
- June 26th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Overnets overhead is now processed and added to the server catagory.
Unk: Tweaked the overhead a little to try to get better estimates.
bluecow: Fixed a deadlock at shutdown.
bluecow: Fixed a bug when restarting ON during a single eMule session.
Unk: Fixed a bug that allow the connect button to get confused.
Unk: Fixed a bug that crash when trying to bootstrap
----------------------

Unk: There are now preferences that allow the user to choose which network to connect too.
Unk: Added Network Choice to First Time Wizard.
Unk: Changed how connection status is relayed between Overnet and eMule.

----------------------
- June 24th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: IP request now responds if the other client is firewalled.
Unk: Found that damn bug that wasn't deleting clients when the socket timed out..
Unk: Cleaned up some code.
----------------------
- June 22nd, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Corrected a bug that didn't let you just connect to Overnet.
Unk: Fixed duplicate keyword indexed files.
Unk: Rolled back to VS2002.. Seems to have corrected the socket bug.
Unk: Removed a gui slowdown when a search quit and all the temp contacts were removed.
Unk: Completely rewrote the messaging code between eMule and Overnet to clean it up.
Unk: Added refresh messages to the Overnet lists. There should be no more ghosts or blanks in the lists.
Unk: Your ID is now calculated differently. Also there is a better check if your firewalled if using both networks at once.
-If you are seen to not be firewalled by either Overnet or ED2K, eMule will assume your not firewalled.
-If either ED2K or Overnet has a high ID, eMule will use it.
-If the server things your firewalled and Overnet knows better, you can still download from lowID users.
-If the server things your firewalled and Overnet knows better, you will tell the other clients the correct ID.
-Because we do not support firewalled users in Overnet yet, if you want to use overnet, you must also connect to a server before eMule starts working.
----------------------
- June 6th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Tried to go through and clear up some areas that check for LowID and Connected status.
----------------------
- June 5th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Changed up the ON gui some.. Although it's not great, the lists are now seperate for easier manipulation later.
Unk: Fixed duplicates of fileID indexed files.
----------------------
- June 4th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Now responding to fileID search requests and sending and search_end packets
Unk: Connect button support added.
Unk: The OVERNET_IDENTIFY_ACK now updates the TCP port of the Contacts and Indexes. (This was messing this up, needs redone)
Unk: Added a Firewall recheck button.
Unk: Change how it checks if firewalled. (Less wasted packets, better timing.)
----------------------
- June 3rd, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Changed how it displays connection status.
Unk: Searches are now terminated better when a file is Stoped, Paused, or Canceled.
----------------------

----------------------
Unk: The timer for checking dead servers was changed to now get messed up when resetting your computer.
Unk: Server Description requests delay has been increased to save server bandwidth.
Unk: Found a major bug that sent packets to the wrong IP.. We now index Overnet publish requests.
----------------------
- May 26nd, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Knownfile met is now saved periodically.
Unk: Published ON files are now remember between restarts to cut down over publishing.
Unk: We now detect if the our ON client is firewalled. Also, if the server side thinks we are firewalled but overnet isn't, we use the Overnet ID instead
of the server ID.
Unk: Found out that many of the mldonkey clients don't publish correctly. Hours wasted trying to debug a packet that is incorrect..
Unk: Changed the order of publishing to make it more efficient.
Unk: No longer treat bcp://hashid:ip:port as a source. These are firewalled sources and the ip and port is the firewalled server, not source..
Unk: Corrected the searches to reflect correct search types.
Unk: Uploading clients could get stuck in the upload list without a socket. This is the same problem as noted above, therefore it's not the sole problem
with FileNotFound.
----------------------
- May 26nd, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Adding the overnet to the client brought up unknown issues with the original client.
1. Rewrote how clients and sockets delete each other to avoid clientlist & socketlist corruptions.
2. Clients are able to get in a connected or connecting state without a socket, these clients are now removed. (This may be releated to FileNotFound
packets. Will rework that later..)
----------------------
- May 22nd, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Merged the base Kademlia code into eMule with the help of bluecow.
Unk: Added a Overnet debug window.
Unk: Added many new Overnet opcodes.
Unk: Can now download from Overnet clients.
Unk: Note to self: Need to find out why incoming Publish Requests send UDP port, but when we send a publish request, we HAVE to send a TCP port???????
(Fixed: mldonkey is the one sending UDP port which is incorrect and very bad!)
Unk: Can now publish to the Overnet network. (Something still doesn't seem correct with Publish Requests)
Unk: Indexing Overnet files. (Something still doesn't seem correct with Publish Requests)
Unk: Beging to change the eMule base code to better handle the Overnet network as a seperate network. (So you can use both or just one)
Unk: Duplicate clients are now found a little better. More CPU power needed, but it had to be done to detect cross source findings..
Unk: CUpDownClient::CalculateDownloadRate() is causing strange exceptions.. WHY? (Update: fixed)
----------------------
- March 16th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Changed opcodes to match eMule for easier merging later.
----------------------
- March 15th, 2003 -
----------------------
Unk: Original Programmer seems to have left the building. I'm am going through the code trying to see where he was going with it..
