2.2.0 Feature Update released 3/13/01
- New QHD extensions provide an indication if flags are set correctly
- QoS is red if the server is busy
- QoS is gray for servers that have not successfully completed at least one upload
- QoS is green for servers known to have upload slots available
- QoS is hollow for results without extended QHD information
- QoS level is independent of push flag, firewalled addresses, or web server
- QoS level displays at least 4 pixels and has a minimum column width
- Sorts for all search result columns use and prefer extended information in search results
- Sorts for the server speed column prefer averaged throughputs
- Comparison for sorts uses old QoS information if no additional data is present

Busy servers always return different search results for the same query regardless of settings
Push flag validity indicator is set and checked in search results
Searches are not broadcast until no passive results come in for 5 seconds and there were less than 100 matches
Search results return the fastest average throughput seen in the last ten completed uploads as the speed of the host
Search Result list shows averaged throughput values in green
Search results always set the "Push" flag until the servent "proves" its ability to accept incoming connections
Push download search results are hidden, and Push download logic is disabled, until the servent "proves" its ability to accept incoming connections
Web Site flag only set after the servent "proves" its ability to accept incoming connections
Unlimited connections are allowed to and from loopback addresses regardless of settings
Passive Search defaults to always on, and removed from the setup
Changed the wording of the version upgrade dialog
License agreement modified to encourage users
- Fixed Push messages are routed to the destination instead of being sent back to the sender
- Fixed Size of QHD public area is checked to determine private data offset
- Fixed Fixed bug where completed downloads could cause the program to crash later
- Fixed Search results known to belong to the local user are not routed, even if the route expired
This program becomes better and better !
