A new and almost instant find-as-you-type filter for the directory list. The built in search engine has been improved, and should now work more like one would expect it to. A bug introduced in beta14 that could summarize the data for similar directories incorrectly has been resolved.
This release fixes several bugs, no longer crashes on bleeding edge PHP installations, and the configuration value NX2_IP now works as (and overrides) /etc/hosts.
A major upgrade of the internal connection framework was done. This should fix some of the network issues a few people have been experiencing. A new configuration value, NX2_IP, has been added to the configuration file for servers that are unable to resolve the hostname due to a bad DNS or proxy settings. Experimental support for the Personas extension has been removed since it broke Nx2 in various interesting ways when running on SeaMonkey.
This release optimizes all RDF data queries in size with up to a 10% decrease by using a default XML namespace. In plain English this means "stuff loads faster", especially with large datasets on slower networks.
A problem where the tracks column reported the number of directories instead of files was corrected along with a somewhat obscure bug wherein a tree node appearing twice with and without umlauts would render an empty cell.
