Furthur Network Changelog

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

Changes between 1.7.0 and 1.7.1:

- Fixed free disk space display bug that caused problems for OS X users.

- Improved search, which should provide better results.

- Fixed bug that would eventually cause Furthur to use all available CPU
  time.

- Fixed a large number of memory and resource leaks in various places.  The
  biggest was a problem that was causing TCP sockets and 45K buffers to never 
  be freed.

- Reduced network bandwidth by not retrieving a list of hosts available for
  partials at every retry.

- Added a count of filesets found on the search results screen.

- Improved connectivity with remote hosts.  Furthur no longer attempts to
  connect to invalid hosts and tries harder to remain connected to hosts it
  has been connected to for a while.

- Improved the speed calculator and upstream bandwidth throttling.

- Fixed bug that caused clicking on the "Percent Done" column in the
  "Download Progress" window to sort incorrectly.


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

Changes between 1.5.9 and 1.7.0:

-Added better thread logging capabilities (for developers)

-Used this to fix a major thread leak that would eventually crash Furthur

-Fixed another big memory leak related to hosts and host messages that were
 left over after a host was disconnected.

-Fixed a few smaller memory leaks

-Updated various URLs used by the Furthur client

-Fixed handling of XML config files from the web

-Moved furthur.cfg to the user's home directory

-Fixed a firewall problem caused by storing firewall status in furthur.cfg

-Fixed another firewall problem where receiving any packets into the Furthur 
 port when Furthur runs behind a firewall would cause it to no longer think 
 it was behind a firewall.

-Added a "disk space remaining" display

-Added support for minimizing Furthur to the Windows tray

-Got rid of lots of unused code (Furthur is smaller now)

-Cleaned up the representation of files in filesets (in the config files)

-Cleaned up the pong server

-Gave the pong server the capability to determine a connecting client's 
 firewall status since the client doesn't know its own status until well 
 after it connects to the pong server.
