st of commits as usual dc 0 884 will be advertised as a testing release first to a small subset of the user base starting today due to the relatively small number of changes and fixes this version should most probably be marked as stable within a few days filed under clients dc general release security tagged with dc release dcvault net a new home for the direct connect community august 20 2026 by emtee leave a comment direct connect has always been more than a file sharing protocol it is a community built around hubs clients conversations shared knowledge and the people who keep the network running for years much of that knowledge lived in scattered guides forum posts hub communities project pages and archives some of it was difficult to find some disappeared when a site or hub went offline dcvault is an attempt to change that dcvault net is a new all around community portal for direct connect bringing information documentation faqs discussion user support archives and development related knowledge together in one place it is also intended as a successor to the role that dcbase org portal currently unavailable its future remains uncertain once played but aims to serve much more than a development and standardization center dcvault is designed to make direct connect easier to understand and easier to use whether you are discovering dc for the first time as a user choosing a client looking for a hub configuring your sharing settings or trying to understand how the network works under the hood the dcvault wiki provides a structured starting point its coverage ranges from the basics of direct connect and quick start information to clients and usage hub operation protocols and technical subjects for newcomers regardless of the purpose of being a user a wannabe hub owner or a developer contributing to a project that means an easier on ramp instead of having to piece together the fundamentals from years old guides and forum searches there is a place to start with the essentials what direct connect is how hubs and clients fit together and how to get connected for more experienced users and hub operators dcvault aims to be useful at a deeper level the documentation covers subjects such as hub software configuration moderation and scripting as well as the technical foundations of the network nmdc and adc tiger tree hashing magnet links and related technologies all have a place in the knowledge base but documentation alone does not make a community dcvault also has a dedicated forum a place for questions support discussion announcements sharing experiences and exchanging knowledge that isexchanging practical knowledge experiences and solutions that are difficult to capture in conventional documentation the launch announcement describes the wiki and forum as two parts of the same effort one providing a curated knowledge base the other providing the conversation around it the goal is deliberately broader than simply creating another website dcvault wants to help preserve the collective memory of direct connect as much as possible hub operators and developers should have somewhere to exchange knowledge that does not simply vanish when a particular hub project or community disappears users should be able to find answers without having to know which old site originally contained them and people who have been part of the dc scene for years should have a place where their experience can remain useful to the next generation the project is being built openly and with the community in mind the wiki is still growing some sections are incomplete and there are undoubtedly things that are missing or waiting to be documented that is intentional the owner is inviting users hub operators and developers to help shape what the site becomes that community driven approach extends to contribution if you spot an error know of missing documentation have an old resource files apps repositories worth preserving or simply have knowledge that could help somebody else dcvault wants to hear from you the site encourages contributions and positions the wiki as something that grows with its community the larger idea is simple direct connect deserves a place where its knowledge history and community can live together if you are new to direct connect start with the wiki if you run a hub share your experience if you develop a client hub software or related tools contribute technical knowledge if you have been around the scene for years help preserve the things that otherwise risk being forgotten and even if you just come across and simply remember what made direct connect communities so special you re more than welcome to join post assisted by gpt 5 6 luna based on content available at dcvault net final text edited by the author filed under general introducing dc experimental august 18 2026 by emtee leave a comment we re happy to announce an experimental fork of dc a client for power users made by the power of ai maintained by people from the dc team the project provides early access to lots of new features fixes and optimizations that may or may not make it to the official client interested download dc experimental not convinced yet read on here s a short list of pros and cons of using this new client that helps you to decide pros lots of new useful features ui improvements many optimizations that make things faster and more sublime all existing dc features included easy switch back and forth between the experimental and official dc version request or discuss new features changes changes in the ui are not radical same style similar experience to official dc cons meant for power users less stable more chance of issues or bugs no help documentation for the new and changed features no official support help is available through an issue tracker and live hub chats only a growing list of new features and changes in the current dc experimental release multi hub shares type echo in direct private messages new user interface library with support for modern windows ui features rich chat formatting and emoticon packages dual ip stack hub connectivity support for maxing out transfer speeds browse file list of the user while downloading experimental large download queue handling modernized share data storage startup share cache blazing fast app start even with huge shares redesigned network statistics safe and modern hub password input improved system log lots of under the hood fixes and optimizations libraries and new build technologies and a few big things currently in the making dark mode ui tileable windows frames classic dc behavior using its installer dc experimental will be an automatic replacement of your official dc installation with keeping all of your data and settings you can go back and re install the official client at any time with the same experience if you d like to experiment only or just wanto to take a quick look at the new features it is recommended to use the portable package you can run that alongside your stock dc finally please note that dc experimental is a separate project and official dc help facilities are not providing support for other projects therefore in case of problems you have to use the links provided by dc experimental in its own help menu to get help or reach out for support now i think you ve read enough see dc experimental in action filed under clients dc general release tagged with dc release experimental 2026 the year when a dc came back august 9 2026 by emtee leave a comment for the better part of the last decade or so the world of direct connect has pretty much lost its momentum with some rare exceptions most hub and client software development has slowed down or stalled lots of projects have even been abandoned user count has decreased slowly but steadily innovation has become sparse and what once felt like a space full of possibilities has increasingly felt like a technology of the past an ecosystem that has little attraction or motivation left to bring in new inventions and move forward there have been improvements of course but few genuine breakthroughs rather some housekeeping to keep some projects in life support then came ai specifically as we all know the ai breakthrough happened almost 4 years ago on that historic end of november day but it took some time while it has finally come for this technology to overwhelm and change every areas of software development in its blazing fast and uncompromising way for dc the threshold has seemingly been reached this year and in one almost sudden surge many dc projects came to life forked by fresh people or picked up by their original authors from where they d been abandoned years ago with renewed motivation here s the list of projects started or resurrected so far this year luadch ng a fork of the original luadch with lots of new features and fixes dcvalut net a new community center for dc users hub owners and developers uhub a high performance adc peer to peer message hub quickdc a multiplatform dc client focusing on adc dc experimental a dc spin off project more about it soon go dcpp a hybrid direct connect hub written in go yet another new adc client in the making a new hublist dc client and hub combo released under the name of an old dc client but seemingly based on airdc and luadch coming from the same but as yet not properly identified people and without any source code provided a promising yet disappointing movement so far possibly more projects about to come forward or still under the radar new development hubs associated with these projects popped out of thin air and the existing dc dev hub turned from a hollow place of occasional few dropped lines to hosting lengthy lively technical discussions every day just like in the old days plans and discussions about the future of the adc protocol have also re started the addition of all the existing non standard but already implemented features and extensions are planned to be added even a draft of a brand new feature has emerged already new features are planned to be evaluated in a manner that takes today s technology networking and privacy standards into account and serves the dc community well lots of positive news let s hope it remains the same going forward filed under general adc developers clients hubs tagged with adc development dc 0 883 is out september 13 2025 by emtee leave a comment this year s new dc release has just been put out it is primarily a bugfix release addressing some minor but rather complex problems that have existed in the client for several years the changelog in the dc help lists the important bug fixes with links to the official bug tracker entries where all the sympthoms and reasons behind the fixes are explained in detail the following are the most notable additional user visible changes from now on dc supports connecting to secure nmdc with nmdcs uri in the address hubs but still doesn t and likely never will support secure nmdc client to client connections the reasoning behind the decision as to why so and why now is available and discussed in this bug entry and in particular in this comment some public hublists allow hub owners to specify an alternative secure hub address beside the main one mostly for having an option to connect to the same hub using an encrypted connection with this release dc starts supporting this feature by displaying the more secure address option in the hub lists when it is available the miniupnpc port mapper gets a broad device detection option introduced mainly as a response to this support conversation the mapper code now also returns better identification of the device to the logs which can be used to determine exactly which device a port mapping operation happens on for complete information on all of the fixes please refer to the list of commits as usual dc 0 883 will be advertised as a testing release first for a small set of the userbase starting today this new version should go stable later in case no problems are reported in the testing period of roughly two weeks filed under dc general release tagged with release launchpad to discontinue bazaar code hosting july 14 2025 by emtee 1 comment in a rather hasty and not so widely publicised announcement launchpad the infrastructure behind the development of ubuntu linux informs its users that code hosting in bazaar their self developed once default version control system will be out of support soon they recommend all existing bazaar branches to be converted to git format by a close deadline git has been available for a while and by now the default code hosting format of the portal they still do not provide automated tools to do the branch conversion tough the post links only instructions or rather just an example of how to convert an existing code base to the target git format how does this affect direct connect development dc and other direct connect projects had been using bazaar repositories for more than a decade in the past but hosting and development of the active projects were moved a long time ago to mercurial repositories hosted by sourceforge there is one exception though dc is still using the launchpad translation interface for localization this requires language templates to be committed to the old dc bazaar repository at launchpad the end of support announcement does not mention this but from some of the comments it is clear that processing language templates from git repositories currently does not work at launchpad so this is a breaking change something that they promise to fix in due course again see the comments and will probably happen sooner than later since canonical the company behind launchpad and ubuntu use the same system for localization of their flagship product after the conversion to mercurial the commit history of the projects code still remained in the old bazaar repository at launchpad checking old commits and investigating how and when features came and went over the years is pretty useful for the development something that often saves time and helps fixing problems or realizing new ideas launchpad s now defunct code browsing interface for bzr called loggerhead provided a very useful functionality to do this a function called blame in modern vcs systems this will be missed since the sourceforge s mercurial commit browser user interface does not provide such a feature from now only the cli or possibly some other local tools are available to do this all in all the immediate effect of this end of bzr service does not appear to be severe on our development process but there are other considerations adch have a few forks abandoned but technically interesting and containing valuable ideas that began to demonstrate the extensibility potential behind the barebones structure of the original project these branches are also hosted on launchpad in bzr format in the future if someone wants to pick up adch development the achievements already present in these forked branches could be quite useful ...
