bluecow: Fixed a bug which could cause resumed files (due to less disk space) get paused again immediatly.
bluecow: Added option to specify whether the system code page shall be used to non-Unicode string conversions (SetSystemACP=1). This is only for backward compatibility for users which specified a different codepage for non-Unicode applications. It is not recommended to use this option without having a very special reason to do so.

bluecow: Added AspectRatio property to Media Info dialog.
bluecow: Added verification whether file extension of downloaded/shared files matches the file format (only used with MediaInfo library installed -- see also, older change log entries according MediaInfo Lib).
bluecow: Added new preferences setting 'InspectAllFileTypes=1', currently used only in MediaInfo dialog to determine the file format of downloading/shared files by evaluating the headers (most usefull when MediaInfo Lib is installed).
bluecow: Fixed bugs in Video Preview and Archive Preview threads related to wrong file pointer usage which could create wrong temporary files for previewing (in rare situations).
bluecow: Added new preferences setting 'PreviewCopiedArchives=0' to use an alternate method for previewing archive files (faster, uses less disk space on temporary folder drive).
bluecow: Added new preferences setting 'ShowActiveDownloadsBold=1'. Active downloading files and uploading sources are shown in bold font in Transfere window.

v0.44a

----------------------
- Sep, 2nd 2004 -
----------------------
Unk: Kad now remembers Kad's last open/firewall state during the recheck process to prevent temporary false reports.
Unk: It now takes two consecutive matching IP responses for Kad to change your current known IP to help filter bad responses.
.: Updated MobileMule protocol to 0.9a (bugfix)
.: Fixed a bug which could lead to a wrong status of obtained parts for downloading clients

----------------------
- Sep, 1th 2004 -
----------------------
.: Added new Dialogpage for creating ED2K Links with of shared and downloading files (replaces old context menue entries)
.: Update ligpng to 1.2.6 to fix security issues (which however had only minor influence on eMule)
.: IP Filter is now also used to ignore filtered incoming UDP packets
.: Added a preference option to choose between simple (prio 0.43) or adanced calculation of the remaining time for downloading files
.: Introduced additional new hashsystem (AICH Hashs) which will reduce the average amount of dataloss when a part is corrupted from
4.64MB (with ICH) to 180KB. The system is most effective when using links with attached AICH hash, which eMule can now also create
Please refer check the helpfiles/onlinehelp for more information about this new feature.
IMPORTANT: Due to the additional hash algorithm, eMule has to rehash all your shared files - this is a one-time thing, which can't be avoided.


----------------------

----------------------

----------------------
Unk: Adjusted the estimated time remaining again to hopefully get it more stable.

----------------------
Unk: Added a option to auto start eMule when starting windows..
Unk: Fixed a bug in TryToConnect that at times could check the wrong IP/ID with the IP filter..

----------------------
Unk: We now keep track of Half Open sockets and limit new connection if Half Open sockets are too high. (If approved and kept in, it should help with SP2 and some nick cards and routers..)

Unk: Added to the statistics how many sources are connected to ED2K and/or Kad.

Unk: Fixed possible memleak if an incoming Kad publish failed.
Unk: Put some limits on how many keywords you index.
1) Global keyword limit.. (You never index more than this)
2) Local keyword limit. If your indexing one VERY popular index, it will be limited to allow less popular indexes to be stored.
3) Now if you happen to be one of the "lucky" ones that indexes a very popular node, your client will not freeze up trying to keep up.

----------------------
- Aug, 8th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Resume next now uses a4af order: Alphabetical order if enabled for a category, cat-prios, file-prios etc. If you select "Resume next" in a category popup menu, it will only resume a file in that category; none if no file is paused in that category.

----------------------
- Aug, 5th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: UploadSpeedSense min limit is now allowed to be lower than 10 KB/s (default is 1 KB/s). Please note that when UploadSpeedSense lowers the speed below 10 KB/s, the ratio download limiter will dynamically kick in until the speed goes over 10 KB/s again.

----------------------
- Aug, 4th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: improved No Needed Parts a4af management. Will now occasionally reask lower prio nnp files on a source, if all files are nnp on that file. This will prevent it from remaining on the highest prio file when it's nnp and lower prio files has stopped being nnp since last checked.

----------------------
- Aug, 1st 2004 -
----------------------
bluecow: Fixed client version statistics.

----------------------

----------------------
zz: Prevent client that doesn't currently have an upload slot from successfully adding blocks to their request queue. This prevents us from sending these blocks when the client then receives an upload slot.

----------------------
- Jul, 7th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Small fix to make eMule request sources for files in the same order as the a4af priority (a4af auto, cat prio, file prio, alpha).
zz: Show which upload slots are in standby, with status text and graying them out.

----------------------
- Jul, 6th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: Soft queue limit at whatever entered in preferences. Hard queue limit 25% higher. When soft limit is reached, eMule only allow high credit clients, or clients that want high prio files, to get on queue.
unk: Fixed an priority bug that cause lower priority files overseed high priority files. Also hopefully lowered some cpu cycles with this change.

----------------------
- Jul, 5th 2004 -
----------------------
zz: "Try to get preview parts first" selectable on individual files if "Try to get preview parts first" is disabled in preferences. Please note that "Advanced mode controls" (tweak prefs) needs to be enabled for this menu option to show up.
