Hi all
Unicode UTF-8 was introduced more than one year ago on ed2k/emule network.
After a transitional period of 14 months, time has come to enforce UTF-8 usage.
I urge emule+ dev to switch to UTF-8 as soon as possible, because next eserver version wont play conversion games (from CP949 ) and will reject non conformant filenames.

Full Version: Unicode UTF-8
I second that.
Were working on it as fast as we can. We've stopped accepting feature requests - everything is on the back burner until full UNICODE compliance is achieved.
Oh, good news. Thank you very much. 
Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!!
Mister lugdunum this is a good new for a worldwide spread soft. Now I'll be able to have œ Œ and ” ˜...damned for the two last. It was a pity not to be able to have the two first that are the only ones that exist only in french...I think

Is there any ETA for unicode support ? Next version ?
Obviously devs started to work on it quite a while ago, and every now and then a piece is changed, but then there are completely different things distracting devs from what they've started....
Not that I'm trying to tell you how to do your work, not at all, but don't you think it would be better to first end one thing you've started before beginning something new ?
Talking about UNICODE and 64 bit support especially. A bit of both, but none really working...
Anyway, keep up the good work and heads up !

Hopefully, both UNICODE and 64-bit files will be included in v1.2a..
The problem is that both changes are way bigger than first thought of, and thus it takes more time.

Thank you for your reply.
Is 1.2a the upcoming (next) version, or the one after the next one?

No.. Upcomming version (which is in RC1 state) is v1.2.. Next will be v1.2a...
Any news regarding this issue?
This topic started in January (!), and even though 1.2a already entered RC state, I don't see unicode support in the changelog...

Some work was done, but not finished yet. It is still in our intentions to finalize it, but not in upcoming version.
Nice...
Main feature in this release is large file support. 
This was so urgent it jumped the queue ahead of UNICODE; lots of very interesting stuff is now coming in sizes larger than 4GB.

Is 1.2a unicode compliant as promised? There is nothing about that in changelog.txt 
and I can't test it because I suffer of my ISP p2p filtering policy as e+ does not support protocol obfuscation

Nope... Unicode is still in the works...
But 64bit file support is now in eMule Plus..

Nope.... Last release was only 2 days ago

I guess in the meantime it's time to ask that question again
Unicode would really be more than something nice to have.
Large file support is nice, but honestly, what is the percentage of files >4GB in your queue, whereas unicode is something that affects really a _lot_ of files (usernames etc.), especially many non-english ones (in some languages even all of them).
It's delayed... to -AFAIK- 1.2c... but I don't want to give you hopes, as I already lose them, but lets wait to see what happen this year

It's delayed...
So, what happened this time? Let me guess... Vista support?
No. Vista support was surprisingly painless. (Thanks Aw3 
). Large file support was the biggie - almost all the good stuff nowadays is on DVD media so glaskrug's comment is not quite correct. 
Currently, 100%.

I know you all give a lot of free time for ePlus but what I really hope is to get a new version we have not six or seven months to wait for again

That's exact my opinion and I prefer to release with shorter periods, but unfortunately it's not possible all the time because of many reasons: qualitywise version is not ready, we have lack of free time, big features, etc...
in the meantime, does anybody know an online converter so I can manually convert those strange filenames to unicode?
In the end you did it. But now, some searches over the web make me think that "R.i.P. LugdunumMaster".
Am I right? Did he forgive ed2k server development? A good link to read about that?
Bye

Thank you. It gives some new light about the KAD request for e+ and the past dev's opinion about it:
and, about KAD searches
So...since 1.2d supports unicode...

Problem is not software, but server operators, and lazy emule users.
90% of online servers are fake servers, payed by antip2p companies to push fakes, and viruses that are able to use contaminated PC to send DDOS attacks to 'genuine servers'
You cannot fight against them, really.
You cannot find enough Gigabit links able to receive more than xx millions packets per second on one machine.
Forget about servers and use Kad.

And remember also that Unicode searches are immune to the 3 character restriction.

1.2e is almost ready. I hope we'll have KAD in the version after that. An improved version; the current implementation of KAD is not very good.
