Download xMule 1.12.1

The eDonkey network can be used, among other things, to exchange files. In addition to the original client, eDonkey2000, an open source client has also been developed with the catchy name eMule. The latter is only available for the Windows platform, which is why LMule was started for the Linux platform at the time. However, the code was not as portable as hoped, so xMule was developed with support for FreeBSD, Linux, MacOS X, Solaris, and Windows. The development team has released version 1.12.1 with the following announcement:

This release focuses mostly on refactoring the 1.12 tree. xMule uses my DynamicPreferences more fully with the end result being a more robust app that uses less memory and is less prone to crash. Because list column sorting/resizing code has changed, you may find a recurrence of the “disappearing columns” bug, especially on your first launch of this version. Merely right-click on the typically-grey area where column headers normally would be and unhide/resize the columns you desire.

Below are attached two binary packages, one against wxGTK 2.4.3 (most reliable results) and one against wxGTK 2.6.2 (improved performance). Unlike past binary packages, this uses a new release system which theoretically should work on any Linux distribution, so long as you have libstdc++v6 (eg gcc 3.4+) and GTK 2.6.x installed. Simply download the file, set its execute flags (chmod 0755) and run the installer.

I am looking for some one who can give me a few hours access to a *BSD box over SSH. Please email me or find me in IRC.

Version 1.12.1:

• FIXED: Reintegrated precompiled header support: Use ./configure –enable-precomp.
• FIXED: No more error messages about missing files when initially starting the client.
• FIXED: List columns no longer default to hidden.
• ADDED: Enhanced binary packaging system.
• IMPROVED: Totally refactored list column management.
• IMPROVED: Increased wxWidgets 2.6 compatibility.
• Totally refactored the list widgets; much tighter code.
• Light decoupling of several classes.
