Dear Gnutella fans, A bugfix release has been released on sourceforge. You are strongly encouraged to upgrade from 0.96.7 as soon as possible.
You may get the new version 0.96.8 through Gnutella at: magnet:?xt=urn:sha1:6KCK5T6JYBJF5T4AHRIF5C55CPA3K423&dn=gtk-gnutella-0.96.8.tar.bz2 Here are the changes since 0.96.7, as listed in the ChangeLog: # v 0.96.8 2010-03-21 [stable] This is essentially a bug-fixing release for 0.96.7, in which some code paths that were not exercised during pre-release testing are responsible for fatal errors (sudden crashes due to assertion failures). Bug Fixes: - Removed an obsolete assertion now that gtk-gnutella supports NOPE DHT values. This was causing a crash each time a NOPE value was received in response to push-proxies queries in the DHT. - Fixed memory alignment problem for non-forgiving CPU architectures. - The virtual memory manager would crash when the kernel starts allocating pages in zones we wrongly thought were already used. - Fixed long-standing bug in the Query Routing Table protocol where a RESET message with the wrong table size could sometimes be sent, causing the remote node to close the connection. - Make sure an ultrapeer is not publishing NOPE values in the DHT if support for the DHT was disabled by user, which would be triggering a fatal assertion failure. Under the hood: - Fixed Makefile to ensure proper compilation under Gentoo's build scripts. - Push-proxy client support now makes sure there is a space after a leading GET or HEAD word in the HTTP request. - The DIME parsing layer now given more information in case of an error. - Let THEX downloads peruse any supplied Content-Length information from the server (applicable only when the output is not chunked). - The VMM layer is now smarter at identifying foreign pages when allocating blocks larger than a single page. - When sending BYE messages, do not shutdown the socket layer if using TLS. - Compilation cleanup for SunOS, Sun Studio, and versions of GTK < 2.5.0.
