Also, a new button in the preferences allows to test active mode settings. Support for XML hublists has been added. The toolbar has been removed. And more... try it out.
2005-05-15: This is the real cvs-20050515 version.
2005-05-15: A new (pre-)release of ShakesPeer Aqua GUI is available. Go get it here. There are still some major features missing (browsing of filelists, passive mode, hub bookmarks, etc), and there are most certainly some scary bugs in it.
In this release, hashing of files is done in a separate process with a lower priority (niced). This way the computer is still usable during hashing. The major visible additions is support for private chats, some icons in the user list and search results windows, hub statistics and more.
2005-05-08: Go here to download an early alpha version of the ShakesPeer Aqua GUI. Please be aware that this version is the first public alpha release and will contain bugs, and some might be really nasty. Also note that this release lacks some functionality, eg: browsing of filelists, passive mode, private chats, hub bookmarks and more. This release has only been tested on Panther (10.3.9).
2005-03-10: The Aqua GUI is coming along nicely. I hope I can release an alpha version within 2-3 weeks.
2005-02-07: I've now checked in sources in CVS for a GUI (Aqua / ObjC). Both code and .nib's from the earlier attempt as well as from the macdcpp project could be reused. For an early screenshot press here. No pre-built binary is available at this moment as it is too early even for an alpha release. Developers can check the cvs. Stay tuned!
2005-02-03: a new implementation of the core DC++ protocol engine in plain C. This version does not use any threads, which makes life a lot easier. Instead glibs event loops are used. Communication with the user interface is done through unix sockets, with simple text-based commands (everything in utf8). There is a command line interface available to test drive the engine. I'm currently working on a proof-of-concept Aqua gui.
