Updated compile.txt with some notes on submitting patches
Perhaps fixed the multicpu/hyperthreading issue (could someone try and report to the bug tracker?)
Various optimizations of the socket code to regain some of the upload performance that some seem to have problems
with (keep in mind that SFV-checking, when enabled, slows things down on the downloading end when a file is checked...)
Fixed problems with changing active port
Fixed favorite hub properties saving
Added option not to send away message to bots (users that have not sent a myinfo that is...) (thanks sedulus)
Fixed 302-moved code a bit (thanks sedulus)
Added match queue feature to the file listing window. This will take every file in the file listing and see if there
is any matching file in the queue (exact filename & size match). Every match will then be added to the queue as an
extra source. Depending on your queue size and the number of files in the listing this might take some time to do...

About:
DC++ is an open-source, peer-to-peer file-sharing client that can be used to connect to the Direct Connect network. It is developed primarily by Jacek Sieka.
As of 2006, no official statistics exist to verify the proportion of DirectConnect users using DC++. However, it is generally believed to be the most extensively used by a large margin; administrators of popular public DirectConnect hubs generally agree that DC++ is the client used by a significant majority.
DC++ is an open-source alternative to the original client, NeoModus Direct Connect (NMDC). It connects to the same file-sharing network, and supports the same file-sharing protocol. One of the reasons commonly attributed to the aforementioned popularity of DC++ is the fact that it has no adware of any kind; NMDC on the other hand contains adware.
