The LimeWire 4.13.11 Beta is released! You can download it from LimeWire's beta page at: http://www.limewire.com/download/betaversion.php . PRO users can download it from their personal download page. Installations are available for all versions of Windows, OS X 10.4+, Linux (RPM & DEB), and a zip format with scripts for OS/2, Solaris and others.
We are hoping this will be the last beta before the next stable release. We might do another beta at the end of the week or early next week. Please give this beta a very heavy stress-test and let us know of any problems you run into. We are all hoping that the stable release is going to be best version of LimeWire ever. With your help, it will be.
The changelog is available at: http://www.limewire.com/features/history.php . The release date of 4.13.9 was updated (it was wrong before), and some changes were made to release notes from 4.13.5, 4.13.6, 4.13.7, 4.13.8, and 4.13.9.
Thanks,
The LimeWire Team
For reference, the changes in 4.13.11 are:
4.13.11 (07.11.2007)
---
- Fixed uploads to cancel if they are inactive for too long.
- Fixed checking 'Accept' encoding values during HTTP transfers.
- Fixed some errors where an upload was improperly cancelled due to read
timeouts, when no read was being attempted. Extra special thanks to 'RickH'
for his help tracking this down.
- Fixed a very rare error where uploads could stall if no other network
activity was occuring.
- Fixed an error if connections were asked for their ip/port prior to starting
a connect attempt.
- Bittorrent downloads can now be previewed if the torrent is for a single file.
- Browse Host requests now send the correct 'Host' header.
- Fixed a bug where a newly-unshared folder could be re-shared on next startup
if that folder had previously been explicitly shared and a parent of that
folder was also shared.
- Added much more informative dialogs for sharing new folders, allowing the user
to easily see and choose which subfolders are shared.
- Completely disallowed sharing any folder that is a root.
- Removed support for an older update mechanism.

arrive in a certain period of time.

share new files/folders from the library.
