aMule 2.2.2-cvs 20081004 for Mandriva 2007.1 & 2008.1

Nuovissima versione di aMule 2.2.2-cvs-20081004, migliorie e bug fix:

* Protocol Obfuscation
* UPnP support
* Network protocol updated to eMule 0.49a (including large file support)
* Kad 2.0
* Improved skin support and country flags

Particularly notable are updates to Kademlia, which bring us on the same level as eMule 0.49b.

* Ported Kademlia Protocol Version 8 from eMule0.49b.
o Kad now ignores multiple IDs pointing to one IP in routing request answers
o When calculating the total user count, Kad now uses (if available) the real number of firewalled clients for the calculation instead a fixed value. This will take more effect when 0.49+ nodes become common
o Kad no longer tries to add UDP firewalled (and therefore mostly unreachable) nodes into its routing table, reducing overhead and increasing reliability [Idea: Netfinity]
o Optimized the Kad packettracking code to only track packets which we check later, to save resources
o Fixed a bug which let Kad sometimes assume a Kad2 contact to be Kad1 after probing for both versions
o Did first small step in dropping Kad1 support by not probing unknown Kad contacts for Kad1 anymore to save overhead. Kad1 clients will nevertheless still be work for now.
o Several changes were made to Kad in order to defy routing attacks researched by University of Minnesota guys [Peng Wang, James Tyra, Eric Chan-Tin, Tyson Malchow, Denis Foo Kune, Nicholas Hopper, Yongdae Kim], in particular:
+ Kad contacts will only be able to update themself in others routing tables if they provide the proper key (supported by 0.49a+ nodes) in order to make it impossible to hijack them
+ Kad uses now a three-way-handshake (or for older version a similar check) for new contacts, making sure they do not use a spoofed IP
+ Unverified contacts are not used for routing tasks
o When reading a nodes.dat without any verified contacts (possible an old file version), aMule will assume all contacts to be verified to avoid slowing down the connecting process
o Implemented a special nodes.dat file version suitable for mass distribution.
* Fixed not sending sources for clients that did not announce their part availability.
* Fixed all list columns being disabled in case of invalid data in config file.
* Fixed directory tree not available.
Kry:
* Fixed: Incorrect SX packets sent, plus no reply to out-of-multipacket SX as a bonus

Faccio presente che questa versione e per lo piu’ indicata per le normali reti in questa release Kad versione 2.0.
