Version history Shareaza

<<Back

Changes from v2.3.1.0 -> v2.4.0.0

• Windows 98/Me support has been discontinued -and Vista enhanced- as signs of multi-generation upgrades in underlying platforms. TorrentWizard is now bundled, new IRC Chat provides easy support and community, and countless new and improved features are both subtly throughout and unseen. --- Note: Upgrading from any prior version should be considered safe, however downgrading back from 2.4 to prior releases may lose active downloads. A clean install should clear up any unusual behaviors. --- Please be aware of recent events impacting the project at: FakeShareaza.com

Changes from v2.3.0.0 -> v2.3.1.0

• made, Win9x support was reviewed and serious bugs were fixed.

• important security fixes.
