After the long wait, Hydranode version 0.2.0 is finally here. From the release notes:

Version 0.2 is a major update to Hydranode Engine, focusing towards new features and functionality. Large parts of codebase have been completely rewritten, other parts have been improved significently.

Major new features include support for Bittorrent protocol, more usable shell interface, completely rewritten HTTP support and many performance improvements in eDonkey module.

Quick download links: Windows, Linux, Source code (also needs Boost 1.33.1 headers), and the full ChangeLog.

So, what now? The next thing in the roadmap is user interface, so that's where the focus will be. I did some prelimiary layouting and coding in that area yesterday already, but then realized I need to get 0.2 out of the door before I can concentrate my focus fully on the interface. As with any software piece, the initial versions won't be pretty (the skinning engine is planned as last phase of the user interface development), but I hope to have initial binaries and screenshots available for testing within a week or so.
