Unk: The AddOnNextConnect flag we gave to lowID users that missed their uploadslot still didn't work well as the user had to reconnect within a specific window.
- Now that flaged user can reconnect anytime that doesn't violate the protocol and get the upload slot.
- Only one user can have that slot at any given time to avoid the uploadlist from getting out of hand just in case more then one lowID user got flaged.
- Once a user is removed from the upload list, this slot is available again.
Unk: Relaxed the conditions for users to enter the upload queue of a lowID client.
- We still monitor for users on the upload list that try to get around the lowID callback limits through servers.
- We do not monitor Kad users on the upload list as the callbacks are all currently valid.
Ornis: automatic category assignment can now also be done by regular expression rules
.: Navigation in the file detail- and client detail dialog: up/down buttons allow scrolling through the items within the current list

Unk: We now use load balancing on publishes. If we publish a keyword to a section of network that has a high load, we increase delay for the next republish time. These times are also carried between restarts of the client.
Unk: Reworked the loop that rechecks what keywords to publish to reduce cpu load.
