v1.05 2008.10.10
- GUI Improved: split save location of BT task into 2 parts: save path and filename for single-file task, save path and subfolder for multi-files task.
- GUI Improved: when add new BT task, start now/start later combo box changes to 2 buttons below in the dialog
- GUI Improved: remove "set as default" button in BT and HTTP/FTP task properties dialog. Save path of new task will be added into candidate directory list in option dialog automatically.
- GUI Improved: new candidate directory list in option dialog. The directories in list can be pick up easily when add new task.
- GUI Improved: rewrite batch HTTP/FTP download dialog and download all dialog. They are merged into a new designed batch download dialog, which is more convenient.
- GUI Improved: new site password manager for HTTP/FTP download. Username & password will be filled automatically when add new task if existed. This can be enabled in option dialog.

- Core Bugfix: under Windows Vista, BitComet will lost task list if running under administrator privilege
- Core Bugfix: if the HTTP task stopped because the file locked by other program, data integrality can not be guaranteed when resume downloading.
- Core Bugfix: in few situations, the BT task finish progress is 100% after hash checking, but the file finish progresses are not displayed as 100%
- Core Bugfix: if a BT task has been specified file download order, program will lose respond when switch a file to be download or not.

Notes:
- Shareaza 2.4 celebrates 4 years of open source p2p community, and presents almost 900 changes from 9 months of solid dedication under difficult circumstances.
- Windows 98/Me support has been discontinued -and Vista enhanced- as signs of multi-generation upgrades in underlying platforms.
- TorrentWizard is now bundled, new IRC Chat provides easy support and community, and countless new and improved features are both subtly throughout and unseen.
- Note: Upgrading from any prior version should be considered safe, however downgrading back from 2.4 to prior releases may lose active downloads. A clean install should clear up any unusual behaviors.

DEmul 0.4.8 WIP

Changelist:
New OpenGL plugin (gpuOGLv3). For proper plugin functionality - you should install latest video drivers (especially if you are ATI card owner).

gpuOGLv3 features:
- better polygon sort methods (still not provide perfect results). You can disable this feature for whole list and transparent polygons cause several games still works better without sort
- blend and shade functions
- fragment and vertex shader (offload calculation from CPU to GPU)
- apply fog per textures
- multiple screen resolution (needs restart)
- screeshots (PNG, JPG)
- mipmap textures

Fixes in other plugins:
- buggy polygon cache
- texture cache rewritten
- polygon params passes through TA with Intensity mode 1, 2 (Thrigger Heart Exelica)
- invisible polygons culling
- removed redundant GPU calls

General changes:
- GDR read synchronized with CPU and reduced to 1mb/sec (RE:CV "tiger head" fixed, credits to drkIIRaziel)
- fixed invisible bullets error in second chapter of Ikaruga (another credits to drkIIRaziel)
- added recent NAOMI romsets (all old handmade romsets are gone)
- fixed different dynarec, code invalidation and counters bugs
- fixed most of memory leaks

New GDR plugin gdrCHD.
It supports Compressed Hunk of Data (CHD) format (great thanks to MAME project). ".GDI" images can be converted to CHD with "chdman" tool from MAME project (e.g. "chdman -createcd my.gdi my.chd"). This conversion will add some redundant sectors between image tracks so it`s better to write your own ".TOC" description and feed it to "chdman" utility. Both methods will produce functional images the difference is only in size (quick ".gdi" to ".chd" conversion is a bit larger than handmade ".toc" to ".chd").

Not implemented & bugs (TODO list):
- render to texture (we already know how to implement it. but still fights with FBO on ATI cards. If we lose battle with FBO then we will switch to pBuffer technique)
- render framebuffer
- wrong texture filter in shader (noticable in Ikaruga. We will investigate this issue)
- multisampling
