The LimeWire 4.1.9 beta has been released. Pro users can download it from their personal download page. The free version is available at the LimeWire Beta Page.

Changes in LimeWire 4.1.9 include:
- Improved FW-FW download mesh.
- Increased the amount of people capable of doing a FW-FW transfer.
- Expect and ignore more errors when reading data from disk.
- Added support for deflated GGEP messages.
- Manually perform Garbage Collection on OSX, to reduce the VM size.
- Improved international font display.
- Optimized scanning for banned/whitelisted hosts.
- Encourage Windows users running Java 1.3 to upgrade to Java 1.4.
- Added a 'waking up' mode, after LimeWire wakes from idle mode.
- Check if settings have changed when the options window is closed, prompting the user to save.

LimeWire 4.2 is just around the corner. We hope to close out the last of the remaining bugs and release very soon. Thanks for everyone's help in testing the betas!

Thanks,
The LimeWire Team

I can hardly keep up! So does that mean 4.2 will be out next week? So when are you goping to add a size search criteria? lol ? Be ready by next week?

LODR:
Odd numbers = betas
Even numbers = stable releases
So 4.1.x are betas and 4.0.x and 4.2.x are releases.

Ciao

LimeWire 4.1.10 is released. This is a very minor release, fixing a few small bugs in 4.1.9. Changes include:
- Limit concurrent connection attempts to 8 on Windows XP.
- More German translations (thanks to Jens-Uwe Mager).
- Better validation of network data on ping replies.
- Fixed whitespace on initial "Upgrade to Pro" message.

Thanks,
The LimeWire Team

LimeWire 4.2 has been around the corner for two and a half months ( see http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27672 and http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showth...threadid=27366 ).

EDIT
Okay, to be fair: it stepped up from "very close" to "around the corner" in that time.

Yeah. It's been a long two months.

The filesize on the download page for OSX is 3.8MB (Should be 5.2 MB).

(thanks for the changelog once again)

In LimeWire 4.1.9 beta, running in SuSE Linux 9.0 with java 1.5.0 installed, if you run LimeWire 4.1.9 for the first time (with no $HOME/.limewire existing), the splash screen for LimeWire stays directly on top of the wizard it shows, making it very difficult to even see what is in the wizard without dragging it around. In the splash screen's status, it is stuck saying "Loading HTML engine..." when the wizard is shown. As soon as one moves the wizard's window around (to see the choices and click the options) and completes the wizard, the splash screen finally goes away.

Weird. Thanks for letting us know, limenut.

nice finishing touch! Gives a positive vibe to the sleep mode. This puppy comes out of seep as if it is in a coma. I'm guessing it doesn't even wake to incoming searches!?
