eMule is a new filesharing client which is based on the eDonkey2000 network, but offers more features than the standard eDonkey client, because it's open source but under the restrictions of the GPL License.

New in v0.49b beta 1

• If extended controls are enabled (and if available) Kad search results show the amount of known unique publishers for a file in parentheses in the availability column (this isn't equal to sources, but it is a bit more trustworthy indicator how common a file is).
• Updated CxImage lib to the latest version (6.0), fixes some image processing vulnability (low risk for eMule) [reported: Steve Manzuik/Juniper Networks]
• Fixed Unicode issue in stored and loading searches
• DirectCallback sources are now properly added to and checked against the deadsource list
• Made sure to always use the intern UDP port if both (intern and extern) ports succeed in the firewall test
• Control chars are now filtered out of ed2k-links / received filenames [eklmn]
• Fixed a small bug with handling removed category directories on startup [tHeWiZaRdOfDoS]
• Changed installer to set the currently used shared usage setting as default if available
