感謝神奇的電騾的投遞
eMule誕生於2002年，“電騾之父”是本名Hendrik.Breitkreuz 的德國人Merkur，他用mule（騾子，馬騾）來作為這款用戶端的名字，暗含對美國的電驢官方用戶端edonkey（電驢，電子驢）挑戰之意，如今電 驢官方從2006年開始早已不復存在，而電騾eMule八年來卻成為了開源社區最神奇的一個軟體，sourceforge中超過5億次的下載量，來自世界 各地的程式師用自己的業餘時間為它作出了貢獻，還創造了數不清的mod，甚至連它的mod，比如emule xtreme，emule morphxt等都在sourceforge中排名前列，這不能不說是一個神奇。
而emule官方組織emule-project也始終如一的堅持秉承著“我們之所以創造eMule是為了快樂和知識，而不是為了金錢。”的理念，甚至已 經不再接受愛好者們的自願捐款，僅靠銷售一些吉祥物小騾子維持運轉。昨天，eMule官方發佈了新年以來的第一個新版公開測試，eMule 0.50A Beta1, 新版加強了aich hash驗證，增強了LAN內部對KAD的利用，並且進一步改善了使用者介面。新的eMule，新的網路分享時代，讓我們拭目以待。
注意，這僅僅是一個測試版，所以請酌情考慮使用。如果有出現任何問題，請及時到emule官方論壇回饋！

以下是eMule官方消息：
About 0.50a:
Dear eMule users,
it has been a long ride, but now we are finally halfway there We are once again happy to present you a new shiny version: eMule 0.50a. Many small but nonetheless important fixes and changes were made, but the main features of this new version are:
Making eMules file verifying algorithm future proof by combining the ed2k hash with the AICH hash to identify and verify downloaded parts and files. This guarantuees that existing and newly found MD4 weaknesses will not affect eMules ability to deliver uncorrupted files in the future.
Several GUI improvements, like supporting new taskbar features of Windows7, easier access to download commands by adding a new toolbar, a improved shared files dialog and a brand new Kad graph to look and wonder at
Better usability in small LANs by adjusting Kad to such an environment and supporting highspeed uploads
And as always fixing bugs and adding other small changes
Your eMule-Team

詳細更新日誌：
eMule 0.50a BETA1
-----------------------
- Mar, 8. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a bug which caused the "Add files to download in paused mode" otpion to not work properly in all cases
.: Fixed a visual glitch on taksbar notifiers when using the Aero theme [gureedo]
-----------------------
- Mar, 3. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Added Windows 7 taskbar goodies:
- global progress bar in the eMule taskbar button, progress colors: green when downloading, red when a download is errorous, yellow otherwise
- Taskbar Buttons: when hovering over the eMule taskbar button (connect/disconnect/throttle/unthrottle/open preferences)
- Overlay icon: Overlay icon on the eMule taskbar button indicating active up- and downloads (disabled by default, enable by ini entry "ShowUpDownIconInTaskbar=1").
-----------------------
- Mar, 1. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Tweaked uploadcode to significantly increase the possible uploadspeed per slot especially on LANs, making eMule more suitable for those
.: The number of maximal open upload slots has been decreased to 100
.: Fixed a bug which caused the "Add files to download in paused mode" otpion to not work properly in all cases
-----------------------
- Feb, 28. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a problem with the sharedfiles list when deleting a shared files [dolphinX]
.: Fixed minor possible memory/ressource leak in the archive recovery and ipfilter [dolphinX]
.: Fixed possible problem when wrong incoming directory due to categories in certain cases [dolphinX]
-----------------------
- Feb, 19. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Fixed a bug in Kad which would not enforce the search tolerance in certain cases
.: Changed Kad to work better in small LANs. If Kad detects it is running on a LAN (only LAN IPs in the routing table), it will assume beeing open and not behind a NAT/Router without trying to verfiy (which would fail in a small LAN),
and also doesn't enforces several security features like flood detection for LAN IPs. Now even a small Kad LAN of 2 nodes works well without any setup issues
(To create such a Kad LAN, make sure all clients have Options->Extended->"Filter server and client LAN IPS" disabled, delete the existing nodes.dat if necessary, go to the Kad dialog and enter the IP+Port of one other client (which is either connected or in connecting mode for Kad) to the bootstrap box - done)
-----------------------
- Jan, 25. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: The connection wizzard is no longer shown after finishing the first start wizzard (it's deprecated)
.: The first start wizzard is only shown on first starts and no longer after updates
-----------------------
- Jan, 21. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Added a new graph to the Kad window, which lets you watch each Kad lookup in detail. For non-Devs this is just for fun, you don't need to worry about anything shown there. A detailed explanation of the graph can be found in the onlinehelp.
.: Added "Automatically show active searches" option to the context menu of the new graph which lets it switch to active lookups automatically (instead having to select it in the list). Now you can watch Kad working for hours without a click!
-----------------------
- Jan, 12. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: Added a new dockable toolbar to the transfer dialog. The buttons resemble the context menu options, but making them accessible easier and faster. The toolbar can be removed by right clicking on it and shown again by selecting context menue option of the downloadlist
-----------------------
- Jan, 10. 2010 -
-----------------------
.: The context menu in of the downloadlist allows now directly assign a file to a new category (instead of having to create it separately first)
.: The "Unassign" category context menu entry is now only available if a file actually has a category
