The LimeWire 3.9.6 beta is released, with the pro version available from a link on your Pro download page, and the free version available (with NO BUNDLED SOFTWARE) from the LimeWire download page.

Changes in 3.9.6 include:
- Search result status icons (saved, incomplete, downloading, etc...) now update to reflect the file's ongoing status. The 'saved' icon will also be shown if the file is found in the Saved folder even if the Saved folder isn't shared.
- Magnet details (from the library right-click menu) should now work under Linux with Firefox.
- ID3v2 parsing now works with non-English character sets, submitted by Roger Kapsi.
- Various focus management fixes, to put the focus in the search text boxes (or the What's New button) at appropriate times (such as when LimeWire starts).
- Fixed column size flickering.
- New default column sizes, better fitted for a brand new installation.
- Fixed search results to maintain the selection when new results come in and a filter was selected, and also when a new filter is chosen.
- Changed filters to not automatically select the result that matches a media-type search, but instead make it bold and keep it visible to inform the user a match is available.
- Reduced font size on statistics.
- Changed method for column resizing -- instead of resizing all subsequent columns when one changes, only the next column is resized. This should make it much easier to set the columns to your preferred size.
- Raised number of wanted results when LimeWire is acting as an Ultrapeer to make them behave as well as leaves.
- Fixed search progress bars & clearing filters on repeat searches.
- Randomized What's New queries a little more.
- Fixed to ignore some invalid ID3v2 headers.

This is mostly likely going to be the last beta, unless any showstopping bugs appear.

LimeWire 4.0 is going to be a fantastic release, thanks in large part to the comments on these forums and the contributions submitted to limewire.org. LimeWire is one of the few open-source programs that competes (and wins!) in the consumer market, and we're confident that the 4.0 release is going to be a rock-solid version. We've come a long way since the 3.x series, adding the revolutionary "What's New" search, an almost guarantee that every delivered result will connect and download, customizable filters for search results, ID3v2 parsing, complete international support, and many more behind-the-scenes firsts for a p2p program.

Thanks,
- The LimeWire Team
