Software update: DC++ 0.864

It has been quiet around DC++ for a while, but since a few months the development seems to have picked up again. DC++ is one of many programs to exchange files over the Direct Connect network. The program owes the two pluses in its name to C++, in which it is written. The package is developed by Jacek Sieka and is an open source variant of the original Neomodus Direct Connect client. In version 0.864, among other things, a stability problem has been addressed. The complete changelog since version 0.850 can be found below.

Changes in version DC++ 0.864
DC++ 0.864, along with changes in share filtering and an addition of testing notifications, fixes a stability issue regarding processing of search results. The issue is introduced in the previous release so immediate upgrade for users running version 0.863 is highly recommended.

Changes in version DC++ 0.863
DC++ 0.863, along with minor changes, fixes a stability issue in the 32-bit builds. Furthermore it contains additional optimizations for the benefit of users running DC++ on 32-bit operating systems. DC++ needs SSE3 support from this release on which means it requires Intel Core or AMD A64 X2 or newer CPUs to run. Some steppings of older processors will still work though. Immediate upgrade for users running 32-bit operating systems is highly recommended.
