eMule Releases Version 0.49a

A new version of the popular eDonkey and Kad p2p client, eMule, is now available. The version called 0.49a, seems to have many interesting features.

On May 11 Some Support published a message on the development of eMule:

we are happy to present you yet another updated version of our beloved eMule." Some Support said, "If we would name our versions instead of giving them plain version numbers, the name of the 0.49 series would be something like "Kad Love". Well probably not, because it doesn't sounds very imaginative, but I hope you get the idea: eMule 0.49 concentrates on improving Kad making it more stable, reliable and future proof.

New features designed to increase eMule’s performance are also mentioned:

* Major Kad protocol improvements, like kad obfuscation, better NAT handling, direct callbacks, flood protections, etc.

* Several changes to the message system to get rid of spammers (by Captchas) and stay in touch with friends with dynamic IPs

* Several GUI improvements like storing searches between eMule sessions, a searchfilter for shared files and easier access to the comment filter

* And as always fixing bugs and adding other small changes

What the new version brings forward in terms of upgrading is sure to turn eMule into an even more appealing BitTorrent solution given that, besides the fact that older and rare files are available on the network, the app’s encryption is now even heavier than before.
