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 to v2.3.1.0
This is a bug fix release version. Some optimizations were
made, Win9x support was reviewed and serious bugs were fixed.
It's the last version of Shareaza with Win9x support.
All users are urged to upgrade to this version because of very
important security fixes.
The x64 build is a release build and it will expire after 6
months, since it wasn't tested completely.
Changes from v2.2.5.3 Beta to v2.2.5.5 Beta
Rolandas Added comments, explaining few "magic numbers"
dirtycat Moved initialization of m_sUserAgent to just before the request is executed. This is necessary because during construction of the CHttpRequest member of the CVersionChecker class Settings.SmartAgent() returns an empty string because CShareazaApp::GetVersionNumber() hasn't yet been called to initialize CShareazaApp::m_sSmartAgent which Settings.SmartAgent() uses.
