Thank you very much for the program distributed under a free open license! Added a program to a Russian-language site about free software, here is the link.

Will the program no longer be updated and new versions will no longer appear?

Will stable versions be published here or elsewhere?

    Just found this fork: https://github.com/ivan386/Shareaza
    Unfortunately no x64 builds yet.

    The project has largely been abandoned.

      Yes, it seems that ivan386 abandoned his fork too.

    It's not completely abandoned but seems all developers are highly demotivated by constant "pirate" and "porno" risks.

    Hi! I plan to "resurrect" the old client, update library frameworks and add features. Do you have a "wish list"? Surely, I will work on 4K compatibility and some network stuff. What do you think about?

      That would be great Salvatore Ansani . On my side starting with a x64 build of v2.7.10.3-beta.15 would be great.

        Do you mean forking the repo made by ivan386 and made an x64 build, right?

          Yes, that would be great for starts, at least providing a 2019 version meanwhile some other code updates are performed.

            Ok! I just forked the repo in my GitHub account and now I am trying to update the build process using VS2022. I will keep you updated.

              Great. Now following you at https://github.com/ansani/Shareaza

                Update: I created a new branch and put that one as default. I managed to build all things in the VS2022. I updated libs to be compatible with the 64bit environment. I only need to solve a C++ issue with a "deleted reference" (error C2280). I think the first 64 bit release is almost around the corner :D

                  Glad to read! Not only an up-.to-date x64 build, but with VC 2022 it should be a better performer. Looking forward.

                    Binary packages for 32 and 64 bits are out. Feel free to test and give some feedback!

    Just launched, and so far, so good, it is working properly!
    Will let you know.

      Great! I'm adding some features in my todo list (as issues). Feel free to add something else if you want.
