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

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

461 6175: Yet another patch for share_scan_interval
462 - new default 30 minutes for newly created ini files
463 - still use 0 to disable
464 - hard-coded global minimum of 5 minutes, this updates old default 1 to 5
465 - automated options update, if update is needed (options_version <= 19) and
466 share_scan_interval = 5 (because of new hard-coded minimum, which is
467 processed earlier) its changed to new default of 30
468 6145: EDK: Update options description of max_connected_servers (Schlumpf)
469 6172: EDK: properly advertise and honour noviewshared tag (TripleM)
471 2007/08/23
472 6160: BT: Another fix for share_scan_interval
473 - Old hard-coded default was 300s, now with share_scan_interval its
474 possible to use a minimum of 60s which produces high CPU load.
475 This patch implements a minimum of 300s for the BT share_files timer.
