The release mechanism was changed in a way that minor updates
will not get a release tag in CVS, also the version number reported
by MLDonkey will stay the same.
Patches done after the last release are experimental,
please test carefully and report your results.
All numbers mentioned here can be found as patches on
http://savannah.nongnu.org/patch/?group=mldonkey
To compile MLDonkey on MinGW follow this guide:
