Behaviour

* Changed the description for our .exe files so it shows up as Nicotine+ in

are no longer counted as a used slot. This stops a single faulty user from
preventing other connections

* Now-Playing support for Banshee

Bugs

* Collapse mode in upload/download didn't work for newly added files, wasn't
remembered with restart (ticket 205)
* The packing/unpacking of network messages has been made more explicit. This
should make Nicotine+ less likely to fail on different processor types and
operating systems (Tickets 486 493 518 540 548)
* Double quotation marks weren't filtered from filenames on Windows systems
* Ban list got unintentionally deleted sometimes (Ticket 519)
* "Show IP" didn't not work on the userinfo page (Ticket 522)
* Wishlist searches would stop working if the setting "Reopen search tabs" was
disabled and the user closed the search tab (Ticket 552)
* Incoming RoomSearch raised exceptions

Translations

* djbaloo updated the Hungarian translation

Behaviour

* A corrupt configuration file will no longer make Nicotine+ fail on startup (ticket 483)
* Multiple shares can now be loaded from the harddrive at the same time

Features

* Support for UPnP through MiniUPnPc (ticket 230)

Bugs

* Search failed to work on certain combinations of OS and processor (ticket 486)
* Implemented our own filelist iterator, dramatically reducing the amount of
CPU cycles needed to open filelists. Thanks goes to Nick Voronin (ticket 480)
* Bitrates for Musepack audio were scanned incorrectly
* Saving file lists from users with slashes in the name didn't work
* Filesize was incorrect for files around 2 gigabytes and up in userbrowse.

Behaviour

* Non-working connections are cleaned up more aggressively (ticket 473)

Features

* Themes can now use a range of image types, including SVG
* Ownership of private rooms is now displayed
* Search chatroom logs by pressing F3
* ASF Support in case Mutagen is used
* The location of Nicotine+ is restored on startup
* Rudimentary download rate limiter
* The NowPlaying code for Audacious now supports audtool2 as well

Bugs

* Notifications failed when a user had <> in the name
* Highlight icon kept on blinking with detached windows
* Fixed links in the Help menu that didn't work (ticket 459)
* A few different GUI related bugs that should make Nicotine+ much more
responsive and use less CPU: Startup time reduced when there is a queue,
queueing many items at a timer, pressing buttons like "Clear Finished" and
"Abort User's Upload(s)"
* ...and lots of tiny bugs
