An 'other' player option also exists.

disconnected and reconnected messages appear in the chat log. Another new
message is displayed if you were sent messages while offline.

and speed. On *nix, these files will be stored in ~/.nicotine/usershares/
* Display shares-scanning errors in the Log Window

Search

$PREFIX/share/applications and $PREFIX/share/pixmaps

Windows

* Added elaborate Unicode filename-reading hack. This should allow
non-latin files/directories to be added to the shares. (Since this feature
breaks in Linux, Windows detection is used throughout the filescanner
converting strings to unicode and back.
* Always load dbhash module on Windows

Networking

* Re-enable Server Ping (120 sec) and Timeout for Connection Close (120 sec)

Audio

* Moved Icon theme and Sound theme settings inside separate expanders.
* Notifications: Added a sound effect, room_nick.ogg, for nick-mention in
chatrooms (when not in that room) and a separate sound effect, private.ogg,
for when a private message arrives, and you are not in that tab. Sound
options are found in the UI settings, and separate sound theme directories
and audio players can be selected, as well. Ogg files are installed into
$PREFIX/share/nicotine/$THEMEDIR/

Networking

* Added support for sending and receiving Soulseek peer message 52, Upload
Queue Notification, which allows users to notify upload recipients that
they are attempting to send a file. Also, a log message is printed when a
user attempts to send you file(s) and an automatic is sent if they aren't
allowed to.
* Add a Bool to the GetUserStatus message received from the server, for
privileges. If 1, add user to list of privileged users.
