Notes:

- Shareaza 2.4 celebrates 4 years of open source p2p community, and presents almost 900 changes from 9 months of solid dedication under difficult circumstances.

- Windows 98/Me support has been discontinued -and Vista enhanced- as signs of multi-generation upgrades in underlying platforms.

- TorrentWizard is now bundled, new IRC Chat provides easy support and community, and countless new and improved features are both subtly throughout and unseen.

- Note: Upgrading from any prior version should be considered safe, however downgrading back from 2.4 to prior releases may lose active downloads. A clean install should clear up any unusual behaviors.
