What's new in v3.52 beta 1 Completely new channel hosting engine, with a new full set of channel admin commands and capabilities. A full list is included with the WinMX v3.52 beta download, or can be viewed online here. Channel window features new multi-color edit control to replace RichEdit. Improved backscroll and selection properties. Right-clicking user name in text provides context menu. Double-click types name in input window. Channel text entry window features backscroll using up and down arrows. Improved channel redirect characteristics. Will not part from originating channel until new channel has been successfully joined. Redirected clients pass referring channel name to destination channel before entry (in case the destination chooses to not allow all referrers.) Channel list has local filter bar. Channels will only display if they contain the text you enter in this space (cAsE insensitive.) Multi-sel ignore list. Whois and browse icons indicate operation status.

Please understand that due to the limited time and very large volume of email that is received during testing we are unable to reply to problem reports. Download PLEASE remember this is BETA edition software. We have tested it to a limited degree already, but there still may be significant problems. Like ALL versions of WinMX, you run it at your own risk. If you feel uncomfortable with this, or are unsure of your expertise with WinMX, please reconsider participating in the test and wait for the next fully tested release. WinMX v3.52 beta 8 - winmx352beta8.zip ( 609 KB ) There will be no formal installer with any beta versions. Simply take the WinMX.exe file out of the zip, and either drop it in your C:\Program Files\WinMX (rename the old exe first so you can restore it later) so it works on the same config as your copy of 3.31, OR put it into it's own folder (doesn't matter where) and run, which will create a new config. Thanks in advance to all users who participate in the test!
