We've released both the free and the pro versions of LimeWire 2.6.0 beta. It's available at:
http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta
This version includes the following:
- now connects to the network using GWebCache, a distributed connection system
- includes more statistics, such as showing the number of replies sent for files, the number of uploads for files, the number of alternate locations for files, and the user agent for uploads
- on Windows, we wrote a LimeWire exe launcher that dynamically searches for the most recent JVM available on your system each time you run it -- you will no longer have to re-install LimeWire when you install a new version of Java
- many important bug fixes, particularly to uploads and the installers
- LimeWire is now available in many new languages, including Italian, Catalan, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, simplified Chinese, and Swedish
We're also working on several really important projects for future releases, such as upload queuing and a new searching system that will improve overall search performance by several orders of magnitude.
Hope you all enjoy it!
