Nicotine+ 1.2.8

[Fisch.666]

Hi!

Heute wurde die neue Nicotine Plus Version 1.2.8 released. Nicotine ist ein Client für das Soulseek Netzwerk. Diese neue Version ist jedoch nicht vom eigentlichen Nicotine Programmierer Hyriand sondern von Daelstorm, deswegen gibt es diese Version nur auf der Homepage von Daelstorm[1] und nicht auf der eigentlichen Homepage von Nicotine[2].



Release Name: 1.2.8

Notes:
PyVorbis 1.4 is unstable (double free crash) with Python2.5 you are advised not to use it.

Changes:
1.2.8 Release (1st June 2007)
