New Shareaza 1.8.2.0

* Every thing seems to work fine with the share group.
* No re-hashing is done after the update

DOWNLOAD IT, and update. I suggest when it auto runs the QuickSetup Wizard on the first run, to cancel it to not affect your settings.

Here is a review http://www.slyck.com/news.php?story=113


New things:

- Some sleek GUI changes, looks cooler
- Usernames in search results and reviews
- Easy-rating feature in album view, rate files with one click!
- Info-bar in media player
- New "Search For" tool in the library & search results, finds related files, for example:
- "Search for more episodes in this series", very useful!
- Upload filters to show/hide active, queued and old uploads
- New bitrate selection in audio searches, search specific bitrates or ranges (eg 128-256)
- Details panels now show full-width and multi-line metadata! This really rocks.
- Separate queue & slot information for each file

Fixes:
- Fixed parsing port numbers in alternate sources, making more good sources available
- Fixed keyboard scrolling in search results - you can at last navigate with the keyboard!
- Improved download logic to try new sources before retrying old/known bad ones
- Fragmentation size adjusts to available tigertree data resolution
- Optimised search result construction, faster now
- Fixed the "popup window flicker" when playing videos, smooth as silk now
- Fixed error in "application.xml" file
- Fixed over-broad searching when using metadata fields (full match needed)
- Fixed scroll strangeness in some library views
- Improved thumbnailing, thumbs now taken from the middle of the video, choosing keyframes and detecting darkness more effectively
- AVI thumbnails are more stable now, too
- Fixed a possible instability in remote thumbnail serving (reported once)
- Separate queue & upload status for small / large files (for the two independent queues)
- More natural specification of file size filters (dynamic units)
- Optimised several protocol areas to reduce size
- Added support for SSL GWebCache connections, I hope
- Added chat timestamp option
- Improved firewall detection
- Generally did good things

Here are the points that are more in our favor,

------------------

*- Usernames in search results and reviews

I can see this working yet, maybe only from new client to new client.

*- Improved firewall detection

Welcome change

*- Added support for SSL GWebCache connections

Now our IP's should be hidden in transit when talking on SSL. Even better security

*- Improved download logic to try new sources before retrying old/known bad ones

Some people had problems at times of files not finding a altnerative, either by firewalling issues or not so good search method. Well hope this improved it.

*- "Search for more episodes in this series", very useful!

This will only work if people learn to organise/define files.
