WireShare 5.6.4 update has been released. Details of changes coming.

For MacOSX users, you can now run WireShare with Java 7 or later, but Java 6 is still supported & is the default if both java versions are installed. Both JDK & JRE java versions are supported.

For those of you who do not know, WireShare (officially released 2014) is an updated version of LimeWire Pirate Edition [abbreviated LPE] (released late 2010). WireShare contains both bug fixes and improvements compared to the original LPE release. And more improvements are on the way.


Edit: Fixed the MacOSX installer for when installing a Dock icon which would make it hang & not finish the last portion of installation, although WireShare was installed. This error has existed for at least a month. It was a simple installer renaming issue.

For anybody who downloaded the earlier 5.6.3.1 installer prior to today, copy the installer to your computer and rename the installer to WireShare installer. It would have been good if someone had reported this issue rather than eventually finding out myself.
