DC++ 0.7091

Post by Pietry » 27 Nov 2008, 12:47

I thought that the new release of DC++ ( after a 3 months interval ) is worth posting for on ADCPortal front page. Also , I have to express my opinion about an issue I've been noticing around. Most of the clients getting a lot of credit these days are ApexDC and RSX++ , I don't want to say they don't deserve it and I also want to thank the respective developers for their commitment and lot of hard work, but I believe people are starting to forget about the old plain DC++. I highly appreciate the DC++ team ( dcdev ) for their work and what they are providing all the other client developers with . DC++ is the banner bearer in ADC development as well, all other clients mostly inherit all the features DC++ implements. UCMD, ADCS, ADC 1.0 are just a few of the things we most appreciate and we've seen in full force for the first time on DC++.
So my choice for this year, last year, and all the time since ADC started is DC++ for the innovation and freshness of implementation and design. I just have one more thing to say, keep it going this way ;)

Release : 0.7091
0.7091 comes out with the main goal to address the bugs that made 0.708 unstable, and also fixes more problems that were discovered lately in DC++. Help pages have been updated also for a better user interaction and OpenSSL was updated. We hope this new version will be more stable and especially more reliable.

just about the part about forgetting dc++.
in my opinion, dc++ should have a some way to extend app features. this way other people could make extensions to the client to bring more functionallity and new ideas (now a fresh developer has to get to know with the dc++ code to make a patch, and to get to know the code takes some time - if more you know about code, the more you can do for it).
good ideas are plugins or scripts (no in current form, like in rsx++ - see blueprints and post on my devblog).

The main idea is that DC++ is oriented for the regular retarded user. Just like DC++, StrongDC isn't adding any script feature into the client because it would overcomplicate the life of the regular retarded user. DC++ wants to keep things as simple as possible even if that makes it harder for the developers....

probably you know the simple rule - most of users will choose what look better and can be customized.
even if sdc is same thing that dc++ is [because it's based on it], sdc looks way more user-friendly than regular dc++

I agree, what I was trying to say is that a lot of the credit for any dc++ derivative work should go to dc++ programmers team
