January 23, 2004

GristyMcFisty reports us that a
PeerGuardian (PG) update has been released. For those of
you who don't know the software, PG is a utility that blocks certain IP
addresses used by the recording industry and affiliated companies to search
for file sharers. Here is the changelog from the latest version:

PeerGuardian v1.99b pr13-5:

Fixes to blocklist
tools

Extended max. ranges per
subnet. (should work for larger lists now)

"Checking [IP]..." isn't
dumped to the status page any more.

Status-page textbox now
clipped to stop potential
overflows.
