I kind of let this one slip by last week with out note, but I managed to be searching the WinMX website and found it, so here it is a bit late but got here:
WinMX v3.29 Beta Testing
Current Version: BETA 1
( Monday, August 19th, 2002 )
Notes
Since the previous version of WinMX, we have re-written many key sections of code, and introduced many new features. The main objective of this beta test is to catch any remaining bugs and ensure general stability of the client. Once this has been accomplished, we will release a new final version 3.3, which we expect to happen later this week.
What's new:
- numerous major and minor bug fixes
- optimizing of WPNP primary connection engine which should drastically lower CPU usage
- incompletes are saved upon download initiation (even if zero size)
- Auto Find Sources (AFS) and Auto Enter Queue (AEQ) replaces Auto-Complete system
- transfer window display and controls re-organized
- downloads can be collapsed to hide user lines
- numerous search window refinements
- numerous browse window refinements
- language add-on capability allows users to translate all the static text in WinMX into a different language (more details here.)
- higher shared file limits
- improved multi-byte character set support
- two new meta share / search types: "Archive (.zip .iso .exe .rar .r00-99)" and "MP3 + OGG Audio"
- bandwidth throttle vastly improved, WPNP primary bandwidth better regulated
- SOCKS5 proxy support should now work correctly when pushing FQDNs

Very Important: Due to certain protocol changes, WinMX v3.29 BETA 1 connects to it's own network, separate from ALL other versions of WinMX. Therefore, the amount of search results and other users will be very small compared to other versions. If you are uncomfortable with this, please refrain from downloading BETA 1, as we will be releasing a final v3.3 very, very soon.
