Behaviour

  • Changed the description for our .exe files so it shows up as Nicotine+ in firewalls (ticket #498)

  • Multiple shares can now be loaded from the harddrive at the same time

Features

  • Support for UPnP through MiniUPnPc (ticket #230)

  • Saving file lists from users with slashes in the name didn't work
  • Filesize was incorrect for files around 2 gigabytes and up in userbrowse.

Version 1.2.13 (22 Sept 2009)

  • Fixed links in the Help menu that didn't work (ticket #459)
  • A few different GUI related bugs that should make Nicotine+ much more responsive and use less CPU: Startup time reduced when there is a queue, queueing many items at a timer, pressing buttons like "Clear Finished" and "Abort User's Upload(s)"
  • ...and lots of tiny bugs

Translations

  • Žygimantas updated Lithuanian translation
  • Kenny updated Dutch translation
  • Nils updated Hungarian translation

Version 1.2.12 (26 May 2009)

Behaviour

  • RGBA mode is no longer on by default, to use it pass the --enable-rgba flag when starting Nicotine+
  • On Windows, configuration files are now stored in the user's Application Data folder instead of the installation folder (bug #330)

  • Notebook tabs can be reordered and hidden, and these settings will be remembered.
  • Search results are now limited. There are two different limits:
    1. The show limit. This is the amount of results shown in the search tabs
