Software update: Hamachi 1.0.0.61 beta

Today Hamachi version 1.0.0.61 beta has been released. With this program it is possible to set up a ‘direct’ connection between different computers without being hindered by any router, gateway or firewall. Files can then be exchanged via this connection and it is possible to play multiplayer games. In this new release, three minor improvements have been made and the internal proxy has been improved to better handle slow connections. The full changelog looks like this:

Changes in this release:

• Fixed a problem with peer’s status indicator vanishing from the list under certain conditions
• Fixed a problem with custom labels not being saved when Hamachi was running in a service mode
• Added p2p key exchange caching mechanism to help Hamachi deal with slow or very slow p2p links. Hamachi now remembers its replies for each step of the KE and can process duplicate p2p ke packets without recomputing RSA/DH variable from scratch.
• Reworked built-in proxy to better cope with slow links on either side of proxied HTTP connection.
