1 The release mechanism was changed in a way that minor updates
2 will not get a release tag in CVS, also the version number reported
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
9 http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=mldonkey

462 6175: Yet another patch for share_scan_interval
463 - new default 30 minutes for newly created ini files
464 - still use 0 to disable
465 - hard-coded global minimum of 5 minutes, this updates old default 1 to 5
466 - automated options update, if update is needed (options_version <= 19) and
467 share_scan_interval = 5 (because of new hard-coded minimum, which is
468 processed earlier) its changed to new default of 30
469 6145: EDK: Update options description of max_connected_servers (Schlumpf)
470 6172: EDK: properly advertise and honour noviewshared tag (TripleM)
472 2007/08/23
473 6160: BT: Another fix for share_scan_interval
474 - Old hard-coded default was 300s, now with share_scan_interval its
475 possible to use a minimum of 60s which produces high CPU load.
476 This patch implements a minimum of 300s for the BT share_files timer.
