The new version is finally here. eMule 0.49 concentrates on improving Kad making it more stable, reliable and future proof. Of course other areas got some attention too:
The mainfeatures of this version are

• Major Kad protocol improvements, like kad obfuscation, better NAT handling, direct callbacks, flood protections, etc.
• Several changes to the message system to get rid of spammers (by Captchas) and stay in touch with friends with dynamic IPs
• Several GUI improvements like storing searches between eMule sessions, a searchfilter for shared files and easier access to the comment filter
• And as always fixing bugs and adding other small changes

This seems to be an interesting version because the most annoying thing has been fixed, being the spam search results. Also some nice other improvements and ofcourse the improved Kad and added Kad obfuscation.

Strongly recommended to upgrade to this version so download eMule 0.49a and enjoy it even more now!
