LimeWire 4.12 is released! This is the first major update of LimeWire since 4.10.9 was released over 4 months ago.

LimeWire 4.12 is a major improvement to LimeWire, including many new and improved features to keep LimeWire safe, secure, and speedy. This release contains support for 'secure results', which will prevent spammers from sending search results that could open a browser window. LimeWire 4.12 also features the ability to enable content filtering. The core of LimeWire has been completely rewritten to use less memory, resources, and be overall nicer on your computer.

There's a ton of minor improvements, many of which have been requested for years. Changes like:
- Sorting the bitrate correctly.
- A prettier LimeWire icon when using alt-tab.
- Easier ways for people to change LimeWire's language.
- LimeWire PRO will always show a PRO splash, regardless of the theme.
- A prettier setup wizard.
- LimeWire respects the OSX dock & Windows taskbar when sizing itself.
- Not displaying the 'No Internet Connection' dialog multiple times.
- The ability to append (#) and use that as a default when downloading (contributed by MaTZ!).
- A 'Search More' feature to get more results without erasing the current ones (contributed by Philip Schalm!).
- Automatic configuration of the Windows firewall.

For the complete list of changes since 4.10.9, see LimeWire's feature history page.

LimeWire also now ships with translations in over 20 languages, thanks to the hard work of everyone who has contributed a translation! LimeWire is translated into Bosnian, Danish, German, Spanish, Estonian, French, Italian, Japanese, Dutch, Portugeuse (Standard), Portugeuse (Brazilian), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Albanian, Turkish, Chinese (Traditional), Greek, Finish, Indonesian, and Norwegian! You can help translate LimeWire to see LimeWire in your language.

And this isn't it... Starting in the next beta series, LimeWire will feature BitTorrent integration and a custom DHT. Keep a look out for what's next!

Thanks,

I haven't tried the official version yet (still using the 4.12.1 beta) but I can see that it answers quite a few concerns of people such as the spammers that use the popup windows (#1: seemed to only affect IE on windows.) Bitrates is a major plus. And the others! Well done fellas!

Edit: #1: I should have refered specifically to n***ster when refering to only opening up in IE (despite default browser.) Other sponsored results open up in your present or default browser.

I tried to d/l 4.12.3 Pro from my d/l page and it gives me 4.10.9 Pro....Am I doing something wrong or is the link wrong.

It might be a windows issue ... ah ah a a tissue!!!! Win downld link might have an issue! I did also downld it but to my mac & not win. The mac version 4.12.3 downlded fine. It did give me a request as to what program should open it ... (choose which app) but also gave option of open anyway. (a bit scary for a moment!) Very initial loading was very fast .... zipped thru the 1st part of the process ... need to restart it to specify which part. lol

Good Morning, i don't know if this is the place to ask this question? I am new to this forum. My question is I just downloaded LimeWire 4.10.9 about a week ago. Now when I went to the hompage of LimeWire I see 4.12.3 is out and My question is 1. Do I have to download the new version or dose it self and if it dose do it self how will I know. I don't want the beta version to load. I would reather wait for the offical version. So if someone can tell me what I do I would apprecate that I am new to this. Plus I a older person trying to learn the new. with this program and the computer. Thank you for any help.

We're going to signal the network of the release in a few days. If you want it before then, you can download the update from the website.

So long as you don't download it from the beta page, it won't be a beta.

6_pac -- You're downloading the PRO version? Are you still unable to get the 4.12.3 release?

[stief]

Probably a cache issue: the Pro page correctly shows 4.12.3 and the beta link has been removed.

Hi lava1 What I advise you to do is keep your version of 4.10.9 archived. If you have the installer for it, that is all you need to keep. Otherwise copy the entire application folder onto disk or another drive, or at least out of your applications location. You may, as I have, find problems with 4.12.3 and want to return to the old version.

You need to downoad the new version and if you do it from http://www.limewire.com/english/content/download.shtml without clicking the Beta link, you will get the official 4.12.3 version. (4.12.3 was also the name of the last Beta version ..just to cause a little confusion

If you install the new version, it will delete the old version, but if you archived a copy, it will not delete the copy. It will take over the preferences and settings you chose for the previous version.

Strictly speaking you should have posted in the Gnutela forums, where you might like to go if you need to know anything else, at http://www.gnutellaforums.com/forumd...p?s=&forumid=7, but If you'ld rather send me a private message with any queries, that's fine by me.
