* Fixed a small issue with matching queues in shares
   DC++k would crash if you closed the window while the matching was done
   thanks to arne who forced me to to use speakers - they helped a lot
* Fixed a minor bug with an esoteric and (previously) abusable command
* Added nick display with "Error during decompression"
   thanks to Spookie for suggesting this
* Added a clarification to the report cheaters command
   it only reports cheaters that have been found - they're not magically discovered
   I recommend that you use /checkshare before using report cheaters
* Added a setting to assume that exceptions occurring when you open a filelist for checking means cheating
   it is by default set to ON
* Set the junk-file sizes to zero (off) by default
 -- 0.250841k --
* Added usernames (nicks) to the cheating report - sorry for this one
* Fixed a small bug in the SimpleXML file which I had introduced by creating Util::toString(bool)
   thanks to GP for tracking this one down for me

* Fixed a small announcement message problem
   thanks dcarr!
* Added a command to report all cheaters in your hub - /reportcheaters | /cheatingreport
   just fire it off then right-click and ban! It's never been easier!
* Added a fix to make sure that the number of lists downloading will not run away too far (I hope!)
* Added whitespace elimination to hublists - will eliminate starting whitespace
* Added detection of filelist not available
* Added detection of filelist no slots available if the client is an OP
* Cleaned up the DirectoryListingFrame class
   kept the class names (I like my class names long and descriptive, thank you ;)
   added and used speakers instead of stupid boolean variables
   thanks to arne for prodding me to do this... "fix" :)
* Updated the default hublists to some hublists I personally find to be good ones

26-05-2003

* Released 0.25083k
* Fixed a minor problem with the share size
* Released 0.25082k
* Fixed the detector settings pane
* Fixed the so that the show share checked users is shown immediately
* Fixed so that the percent fake shared tolerated weren't quite so intolerant
* Released 0.25081k
* Added show share checked users
* Added ignore junk files
* Fixed fake share detector
   now the percent fake shared tolerated is percent and not times
* Released 0.2508k
* Added %[file] as a parameter to user specified commands
* Applied Sedulus lost last battle fix 
   may improve download performance if your your upload slots are all used
* Applied Sedulus port in search result fix
* Applied Sedulus user ip fix
* Big honking thanks to Sedulus!
* Released 0.2507k
* Added more options to the fake share detector
   A *RAW* command has been added - this will be sent DIRECTLY to the hub, so if you want to send,
    for instance, a normal "+kick user" message you would enter "<%[mynick]> +kick %[nick]|" without the "s
   The option to set the percent fake share tolerated - default is 20 percent
   VOB-file-size have been set to zero by default
* Added a new option, Always show all get target matches
   if enabled, this will make DC++ take all matches when using "Download To...", 
    but will put the files with matching suffixes first
* Fixed the junk-file detector 
   it should now (correctly) consider all paths with chr(255) and chr(0) invalid and therefore junk
   also, files with $ in them are considered junk

25-05-2003

* Released 0.25061k
* Made a few fixes that might improve stability (and might crash everything)
* Released 0.2506k
* Revamped some code in order to increase stability
   will produce (hopefully much) fewer threads now

24-05-2003

* 0.2505k released
* Fixed stringdefs error - sorry about that - (thanks to Sedulus once again!)
* 0.2504k released
* Added some extra fixes to the share reporter
   you can now make DC++k report the results of the checks to the main chat (Settings -> Advanced -> ...)
* 0.2503k released
* Fixed some stability issues with the share-checking
   it will now check a number of filelists that is equal to your download slots (or 20 if 
    you have not specified the download slots)
   this number is "reset" every time you initiate a check
   will now report the inflation a little bit better
   thanks to Sedulus for the suggestions (and the bug-testing!)
* 0.2502k released
* Added a way to toggle "chat-only" mode in DC++k
   it can be toggled in a hub by writing /chatonly and it can be set up in the Favorite Hubs window
   it will ensure that you will only be able to chat in that hub and that people from that hub will not
    be able to get files (nor your filelist) from you
   the hub is also not counted in your hubcount
   you are listed as sharing 0 bytes and sharing 0 slots in those hubs 
    this is the best way I can ensure that this is is not misused (and it is definitely not stealthy)
   by the way - in the Favorite Hub properties window, you should use false and true when specifying the 
    chat only property
* Changed the behaviour on "Get file list" in the transfer window
   it will now reconnect to the user in question to retrieve the file list as soon as possible
* Added an accelerator (keyboard shortcut) for open file list - Control and O
* Added a share checker - checks the shares of all selected users in a hub against the share size they 
   have said that they have (the share size in the user list)
   use /checkshare if you want to check all users share (will try to download your own)
   may be a bit unstable if you get a whole load of filelists at the same time

* 0.2501k version released
* Contains all old fixes/features

19-05-2003

* 0.2425k version released
* Fixed the match queue button so that it is now disabled while the queue-matching is done
   (thanks to all the nice fellas on the DC++ developer hub!)
* Added some code that will try to reconnect to a user if the download speed should reach zero bytes / second

17-05-2003

* As you can see, I have loads of school-related work to do - thus my enthusiasm for DC++k!
* 0.2424k version released
* Fixed so that the overridden (if any) version string is sent when you are away (oops! again)
* Made some changes to the bandwidth-limiting code, might work better now
* Fixed the changes I made in the public hubs window so that the hubs are now shown. Oops.
   also made the patch a bit better integrated with the code
* Added threading to the match queue button - should now be a bit "nicer" to use on large filelists
* Added threading to the filelist window
* Added option to GUI which automatically matches the queue whenever a filelist is downloaded

12-05-2003

* 0.2423k version released
* Re-added the options that should be in the advanced settings pane (oops!)
* Made a small fix to the throttling code - it should now be more generous with a high upload limit
   may cause your upstream to become saturated as it is, currently, a wee bit less discriminating
* Added a possible fix to the "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive x:"
   when you receive search results and have enabled the "Use System Icons"-feature
* 0.2422k version released
* Fixed the fatal "upload 0 bytes/second" bug... sorry for this one.
* Three "Should skip auto-searching when..." options has been added 
   they (surprisingly) determine when auto-searching should be skipped
   the "Tr0n-fix" is simply default behaviour nowadays

11-05-2003

* 0.2421k version released
* Due to some people (Tr0n and others) problems, I've decided to allow the auto-search to do searches
   even on files which have online sources
* Re-added old changes from 0.241 and 0.242 (my version numbers, that is :)

26-03-2003

* 0.242k version released
* Finally got the thumb out of my behind and added Todd's upload/download limit-thingy
   This should reduce the "spiking" caused by my previous algorithm
   Will very likely improve your latency (ping) in games compared with the old method
   A big big big thanks to Todd for this fix (as well as the .diff files... when you attached them :)
* Added "Small File Threshold" as a setting to the DC++k setting page
   This determines the size you consider to be small, and is set 
* Fixed the "About..." dialog
   Before, it would download the version file no matter what you had decided in the settings
* Added experimental "Search for alternates" method to the transfer window
   which is where your uploads/downloads are shown
   This may work - pigs may fly, and you might suddenly be translocated to the gold reserve in Fort Knox,
    according to my understanding (very limited) quantum physics - it's just very unlikely
   Jokes aside - it works for me

17-03-2003

* 0.24 version released... without most features
* Added some more "transparency" (getX() methods) to HttpConnection 
   the first of many changes necessary to convert it to be useful for my... "special" needs
   a small bug may have been corrected (the HttpConnection should disconnect whenever an error occur, IMO)
* Updated the Public Hub Window to show what it is doing
   pressing the "Refresh" button will now make DC++ download the next hublist... even if it is already downloading one
   the Public Hub Window should now show more information about what it is doing (download/decompressing/twiddling its thumbs)
* Added "Search Collision Avoidance" - check it out, as it prevents auto- and manual-searches from colliding (thanks to [A&AM]Fireball for the idea)
* Added "Version Override" - overrides the version reported by DC++ to bypass the 0.24 block that some hubs have installed
* Added "Download Version File" as an option
* Added "Display Old Hubcount" - will display the hubcount as the old versions did
* Added "Upload Limit" and "Download Limit" - they are connected, so download limit is at most four times the upload limit
   setting upload limit to zero (or less) means that the upload limit is disabled (and the same goes for download limit),
   but it also means that download limit can be set to whatever you like
* All options have been added to the GUI (and some are available by using /commmands)

16-06-2002
Several minor updates
* Fixed the "Show User Responses"


• it will now show the correct strings (when searching for special/hiding users)

15-06-2002
v0.17731k released
Fixed GUI error by me which made it hard to enter slot/extra slot via the GUI
Added several differing modded versions + a general recognizer to the "Show user response"
Fixed so that uptime is increased - sorry about that
Added "Search for Hidden" command - will download the filelists of users that connect to the hub


• use /searchforhidden or /searchhidden
• recommended to have popup filelists set to false =)
• may cause instability (crash)
