Topics relating to the Direct Connect network

DC++ 0.682 released today and apart from some library updates it notably fixes an issue with the default Automatic connectivity setup. The automatic detection won’t work in certain cases where no automatic port mappers can be found so the final choice would be to settle in Passive mode.
For those who make use of the Automatic Connectivity Setup (should be the vast majority of users) the upgrade is highly recommended.
I started to use DC using DC++ in 2003 when its version number was around 0.260. Since then I've been amazed by the DC network: a professional but still easy-to-use way of P2P file sharing. I was invited to the DC++ team in 2006 where - in the beginning - I had been doing user support and some testing only. A few years later I started to add small contributions to the DC++ code as well so for many years I'd been doing mostly bug fixes, testing, feature proposals and improvements. At the same time I worked on improving the documentation for both DC++ and ADCH++ as well. These days I'm trying to maintain the whole code and the infrastructure behind to keep these software secure and usable for a prolonged time. My ultimate goal is to help making the DC network as more user friendly as possible.
