Default Shareaza 2.1.4.0 changelog concerning g1

One member of this forum posted that the new shareaza 2.1.4.0beta did not improve itīs g1 support.

Itīs true that itīs still not perfect (lacking g1-ultrapeer-support due to stability-problems[it was enabled in 2.1.0.147alpha]).

Nevertheless some improvements have been made. Here they are:

- G1 connection/hosts tweak

- Specify protocol option added to G1/G2 neighbour connection attempts

- RTL support

- Extra networks greyed out if bandwidth is low.

- Specify protocol option added to G1/G2 neighbour connection attempts

- Alt-source fixes

- Tweaked neighbor handshakes on connection

- Reduced un-necessary webcache queries

- Discovery services better at selecting appropriate service to query

- Added limiting and a throttle to the manual 'Find More Sources' command to prevent network abuse

- Tweaked various connection query throttles

- Added hard limit of 64 for HTTP queues

- Tweaked the local check when UltraPeer mode is forced.

- HTTP guard queue added

- G1 ultrapeer and G2 hub mode separated

- Status bar displays Hub/Ultrapeer in power view.

- Stats for ultrapeer mode added

- Hub/Ultrapeer capability detection functions improved.

- G1 mode selector re-enabled in Gnutella settings

- Updated Gnutella settings page

- Added discovery service classification (in gwebcache.txt) to eliminate unnecessary queries and speed connection.

- Fixed the X-Thex-URI header in HTTP transfers

- Shareaza now correctly detects GWebCaches that support both G2 and G1 hosts

- Added detection of Gnutella alt-locs from a queryhit

- Fixed a bug with GGEP blocks

- Assert causing G1 crashes removed

- Improved detection of bad ultrapeers

- Added support for Unicode characters in a URN

- Added support for Gnutella UTF-8 queries

There are some other changes that have an influence on shareazaīs behaviour on g1 and there are most likely some more changes concerning g1 only that are not listed here. For a complete changelog visit the shareaza-forums at www.shareaza.com .
