3 by MLDonkey will stay the same.
5 Patches done after the last release are experimental,
6 please test carefully and report your results.
8 All numbers mentioned here can be found as patches on

461 6044: BT: Limit max_bt_uploaders to max_upload_slots (pango)
462 6043: Discover WAN IP
463 - new command "discover_ip" to force discovery
464 - new option "discover_ip" to enable automatic discovery on startup
465 and after SIGHUP, default true
466 - this patch is important for BT-only usage, without this patch the
467 WAN IP was discovered only by using EDK server replies
468 6034: Load $MLDONKEY/web_infos/* before activating network modules
469 - this fixes a security hole when networks started connecting
470 before IP blocklist was loaded
471 6025: Extend command "links" to optionally display all downloading files
472 - "links" displays all files, not only shared ones like before
473 - "links shared" lists only shared files
474 - "links downloading" lists only downloading files

483 6005: Swarmer: Implement new download mechanism
484 - its now possible to switch the order blocks are downloaded from random

487 6017: Multiuser: New optional parameters group/commit_dir for command useradd
