 - Added FastTrack support through giFT (http://gift.sf.net). The daemon 
 needs to be running on the local system (use the daemon panel to start it)
 or can be accessed through the network. 
 Searches are automatically performed through giFT and OpenNap
 servers. All features should work on both networks.
 - Added giFT statistics panel.
 - Added media type for giFT searches (the bitrate is currently
 only validated for nap searches).
 - Added http proxy support for giFT downloads.
 - Rudimentary upload limit implementation (uploads only work for nap
 so far).
 - Added OpenNap panel and relocated Server and Console panel.

 Improvements

 - The server panel got nice little arrow buttons in table headers.
 - The download and upload panel are reunited in the transfer panel.
 - Lots of code clean ups.
 - All dialogs are centered above the main application.
 - Added incomplete dir to library panel.
 - Aligned panels in preferences dialog to top.
 - Cleaner handling of status messages.

 Bug Fixes

 - Fixed uploadDir not being initialized properly. This resulted in
   exceptions when the preferences were written to disk.
 - Fixed exception when add server is canceled.


Version 1.0-pre5

 This version was never released and only exists in the cvs.


Version 1.0-pre4 (2001-09-16)

 New Features

 - The command line version supports two commands now:
   /q[uit] for quit and /pd[own] to list files.
 - Search results can be matched against the search text to filter
   fuzzy search results.
 - Added library panel. It shows a file tree and a list of mp3 files
   with their tags (dot files are not shown).
 - The library panel can also be used to spawn an mp3
   player. Currently jmf and xmms are supported directly but winamp and other
   players can be used, too.
 - Added uploads. This is not quite finished but already working
   (right now you can't limit the number of uploads).
 - You can set your upload directory and hit 'Update Shares' to send a
   current list of your shared files to all servers. For now you have
   to do that manually every once in a while when your files change.
 - Debug information is only written to stdout if you pass
   '--debug'. Otherwise exceptions are captured and written to
   ~/.xnap/error.log.

 Improvements

 - Less verbose but more meaningful output in command line version.
 - Added progress indicator to /pdown command.
 - Right mouse click on tables now behaves in a more standard way.
 - You can save the servers file to any location now, but beware only
   the ~/.xnap/hosts file will be loaded automatically on startup.
 - New servers received from Napigator will be inserted at the top of
   the server list.
 - Search panels can be closed with a context menu.

 Bug Fixes

 - 0 search servers will search across all networks.
 - Local port is set in command line version.
 - Fixed exception in search table when selecting last result.
