Requirements:
· NT4 Users: You'll need to download and install the Tahoma font from Microsoft (if you don't already have it) for Shareaza's user interface to look correct.
· Windows 95 Users: As well as the Tahoma font, Windows 95 users require the Winsock2 Update (from Microsoft) for Shareaza to work correctly.
What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· After many months of bug fixes, 2.5.0.0 has finally been released. While we were planning for an earlier release, time was not on our side. The chat tab should now be working at the level it should have been in 2.4.0.0, and we hope to have it fully bug free before too long.
· Also, happy Halloween to those celebrating it this year. For those of you who do not want the Halloween skin after today, you can remove it by deselecting "Halloween" under the Skin tab of the Settings window.
