LimeWire has released the beta version of LimeWire 1.8c, available at:

http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/download_beta

This is primarily a bug-fix release.

Bug fixes include:

<ul>
<li>The Windows version will properly install all of the necessary components when a restart is required at the end of the install.

<li>The Mac installers (Classic and OSX) are updated, and should solve the zip file errors that many users have seen.

<li>The Mac installers set the memory requirements correctly.

<li>A bug with previous versions where users would always appear as chattable regardless of whether or not they had disabled chatability has been fixed.

<li>Any errors with launching now produce detailed error messages that users can report bach to developers.
</ul>


We hightly recommend giving this beta a try particularly if you are experiencing problems with any of the above issues.

Thanks!
