After generating a really huge and efficient collection of filters, I was disappointed to find that the rules were not saved ...

I hope that the impressive progress on saving searches will be carried through to saving search filters. I guess you will, since the interface is so complex, you wouldn't have bothered to make such a cool filter interface and not save them.

I only hope my mentioning this will encourage you to do it quickly! (or that someone will point out a glaringly obvious mistake I have made

Compile your gtk-gnutella with the libxml2 .. then your searches and filters will get saved..

Get the latest cvs version and then do:
./configure --enable-libxml2
make
su -c "make install"

more information on http://gtk-gnutella.sf.net or http://www.guruz.de/gnutella.php

Thanks for your advice.

Will the libxml feature work in stable 0.91 release? I hate cvs and haven't got it installed.

Are there any major bugs that make 0.91 unusable? I only just upgraded tonight.

Well, sure it works in 0.91 ..
You should check out the latest CVS, the changes from the release till today are minor but in case you are interested:

* Opening version 0.92u.
* Stricter banning policy: ban after 5 reqs/minute instead of 10.
* Fixed typo "interaface" -> "interface" in some includes.
* Show download's disk filename when all we have from server is an URN.
* Don't show "503 rebuilding library" when in fact we don't share anything.
* New walloc0() routine.
* Now allow again setting "min Gnet connections" to 0.
