- Fixed BitTorrent-magnet download start.
- Optimized UPnP code (removed from connection wizard, fixed "zero port" bug).
- More robust control of UPnP devices.
- Fixed "16.0 EB" source downloads when size is unknown yet.
- Enabled adding torrent-file as source to any download. Fixed freezed name of BitTorrent-magnet download.
- Fixed G2 KHL packet crash.
- Refactored chat code (removed/renamed chat window classes, fixed connection bugs, updated translations and skins).
- Fixed broken Gnutella 1 chat.
- Added CAPTCHA support for ED2K chat.
- Fixed Gnutella 1 query hit packets: now LimeWire compatible, all available hashes transmitted, large file supported (64-bit size), added alternate sources.
- Fixed host browsing fail due disabled protocol.
- Fixed upload without specified "Range:" header (for G1).
- Improved query hit and query search anti-spam protection.
- Fixed false positive XML errors of some G1 queries.
- Optimized schema types handling.

- Improved compatibility of Gnutella 1 uploads.
