Most changes were actually to address compiler warnings and recently
to make the sources ANSI C compliant (using GCC with -W -Wall -Wformat=2
-ansi -pedantic -O). There were certainly a dozen and more bugfixes
addressing crash causes but it's probably not useful to list each of
them as it's too technical.
Here are some changes you might want to add:
- Fixed compile problems with systems which have no largefile compatible
sendfile().
- There are now two hostiles.txt, a system-wide ("global") and one in
the ~/.gtk-gnutella directory. So you only need to put private additions
into ~/.gtk-gnutella/hostiles.txt. These files are also automagically
reloaded on change, so you don't need to restart Gtk-Gnutella to make
the changes effective.
- Files are now shared with their filenames converted to UTF-8.
- Downloads are stored with filenames converted to UTF-8 as well.
- Problems with the UDP/TCP port setting have been fixed (bug #1091827).
- The search filter allows filtering for files larger than 4 GiB and
you can also use suffixes like KB, KiB, MB, MiB etc.
- Use mmap() instead of read() for uploads on platforms without sendfile().
- Gtk-Gnutella as ultrapeer was not routing any searches iff uploads
had been disabled.
- If you enter "blah -blubb -nada" as search string, results matching
"blubb" or "nada" are automagically filtered.
- The GUI uses SI prefixes according to IEC 60027-2 (2000-11) Ed. 2.0
everywhere, so harddisk vendors won't fool you any longer.
- Specific to the GTK+ 1.2 GUI:
- The search edit field is still on left - right on the left.
- Specific to the GTK+ 2.x GUI:
- The search edit field has been moved to the top.
- Fixed compile problems with GTK 2.6.x.
- XML data contained in search results is shown in the results
details pane.
- You can drag & drop items under Downloads->Files e.g., to pass
them to a audio/video player, picture viewer etc. Drag & drop
is dangerous. You have been warned.
- GnutellaNet has a new item "Reverse DNS lookup" in its context
menu to perform a lookup of the peer's IP address.
- The Downloads pane was splitted into "Active Sources" and "Queue".

UTF-8 should be changed to Unicode in the above paragraph.
