The next Phex version will be 3.2.2

I just thought that it might be useful to post the release notes here, too. No use in excluding anyone who doesn't have access to the sourceforge project...

Release Notes
On the surface, this release mostly features noticeably improved networking code, due to which the thread usage for network connections dropped by about 40%.

One of the effects of this change is, that Phex can now handle 99 UP2UP connections with ease, as tested in two performance tests:
- http://wiki.phex.org/Phex_Performance

The second visible change are two new translations: Spanish and Mexican. (thanks go to LuisC-SM!)

Also we added a "nasty file filter", which should hide most (but surely not all) really nasty files, so you don't accidentally download things most people really don't want to see.

Not showing on the outside, abstractions from the i2p integration (i2phex branch) were ported to the main release, and even deeper below the surface, the code structure is being gradually adapted, to create a better Phex API, which allows other developers to easily use code from Phex as backend for their programs.

And as usually many Bugs where found and fixed.

As a sidenote, the startup wizard now prompts, if you want to subscribe to the Polar Skulk, a feed of free files served via Gnutella, and the served files get downloaded into a subdirectory of the download folder so they don't disturb regular downloads.

If you want to follow the development of Phex more closely, you can build Phex directly from our subversion repository:
