Software update: xMule 1.8.2c

Version 1.8.2c of xMule, the cross platform implant of eMule, has been released. The program runs on FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS X and Windows. Like its big brother, it connects to the eDonkey network to search and download files there. The changelog announces the following changes:

New in 1.8.2c

• Added: Dynamic Partfiles (named as x.pnew and x.pnew.met instead of x.part and x.part.met) This type of partfiles needs only as much space on disk as downloaded, not as the filesize tells. Its possible, to use both types with the some xmule at the same time (to finish older downloads)
• Added: Renewable Clienthash on startup (to increase security) (to activate look at FlowChart
• Added: Configureoption “–enable-cryptopp” to use the original library instead of the far more compact CryptoXMpp for compatibility reasons (on 64-Bitsystems and other than x86).
• Added: User can choose to be identified as using an eMule client if desired.

Bug fixes

• Fixed: Corrected version-information for xmule (Thanks to Kry from aMule team to inform us about that!).
• Fixed: Client hash now saved and loaded
