The Mnet Development Team [1] is pleased to announce the release of Mnet v0.6.1.
Mnet is a "universal file space" -- a global space in which you can store and retrieve files. The contents of the universal file space are independent of any particular server. It comes with a GUI file browser that looks a bit like a classical file-sharing tool such as Napster. The code is published under the Lesser GNU Public License. The major improvements of v0.6.1 over v0.6 are GUI improvements, faster searches, reduced RAM usage and reduced CPU usage. This is the last release planned from this branch of the Mnet source code. The next planned release will include a completely new, scalable lookup mechanism among other substantial changes. See the Mnet weather report [2] for the current size of the network and measurements of the number, kind, and size of files available. Please view the ChangeLog for more details: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mnet/mnet/ChangeLog?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup Please visit the download page for precompiled packages for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD, and Solaris. Also available from the download page are instructions for compiling the software from source. http://mnet.sf.net/download.php Please use Mnet and report bugs via e-mail to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, or by using the SourceForge bug tracker: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?group_id=43482&atid=436453 The availability and persistence of files is strongly influenced by how stable the servers are. If you run a stable Mnet server it will help. More information is available on the project web page: http://mnet.sf.net/ Regards, Zooko Developer, Mnet Project [1] The Mnet Development Team is a loosely-organized band of hackers from around the planet who work on the project as a volunteer, non-profit operation in the public interest. Each hacker is either single or else associated with a very supportive romantic partner.
