[Blocks-development] V0.15 is here!

[Blat F. <pet...@ho...>]

Well, V0.15 is ready and the following changes have been implemented...

1) All whole now multiple uploads capability for
   bulk uploading.

3) Add content hash to adverts and header blocks,
   and display this in the serach window.

2) Fix timeouts and problems when uploading &
   downloading at the same time.

4) Increase the smartness of the 'bad route' logic
   so that search results are much more accurate.

5) Change readvertisement logic so that it now
   readvertises most recent 1024 non-local ads.

6) Increase netcode efficiency (might reduce CPU,
   and increase throughput on unlimited connections).

The automatic switching of routes on failed downloads
hasnt been implemented in this release.

V0.15 is *not* backwardly compatible with V0.14 although
V0.14 clients may be able to connect and advertise files,
the files will be corrupted while downloading. So, we
all need to switch to V0.15 at near enough same time.

I propose switching tonight at midnight Saturday (EST)
if this gives Erik enough time to update the web page,
and Luke and Michael enough time to switch  the servers
to V0.15.

Remember, V0.15 hasnt been well tested so there is a
small possibility we need to roll back to V0.14 if
something major is broken that cant be fixed quickly,
so let me know if you notice anything odd.

thanks to all concerned,

PG.
