            <title>FlashFXP 3.4.0</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1783942</link>
            <description>FlashFXP v3.4 Final - (3.4.0 build 1145)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;New Features&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; The graph font can now be changed separately from the application font.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Global &amp;quot;Bind Socket to IP&amp;quot; setting.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Per-Site &amp;quot;Bind Socket to IP&amp;quot; setting.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Multi-language support. See &lt;a href='http://www.flashfxp.com/languages' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.flashfxp.com/languages&lt;/a&gt; for more&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Added new status msg &amp;quot;Listening on PORT: X, Waiting for connection.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;to help troubleshoot PORT mode connections.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; If Passive mode fails two times in a row, FlashFXP will switch to PORT mode or vice versa.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; If the connection is lost to the ftp site you can continue to browse cached folders and queue files. If a task is performed that requires a connection, FlashFXP will reconnect back to the ftp site and then perform that task.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; You can now browse cached folders and queue files while a transfer is in progress.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Secure certificate details are now stored for later reviewing, they can be viewed via the Site Manager / SSL Tab.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; When the speed limit is activated you will see a status indicator icon in the statusbar next to the transfer filename.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Added new option in Preferences / Display / Options &amp;quot;Accurate file system shell icons&amp;quot;, when unchecked FlashFXP will use the default icon for each file type. Using default icons rather than accurate icons improves performance.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Per-Site speed limit settings.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Global option to disable speed limiting for LAN transfers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; New command line options for download/upload/fxp (see updated help file)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Added support for Clear Command Channel (CCC)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Added support for SOCKS4/SOCKS5 BIND method, which means you&lt;br /&gt;can use SOCKS4/SOCKS5 with active mode (PORT).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; Added support for SSL Client Certificates.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; New import/export for sites using .ftp (xml based) file format. Easily export and send sites to friends, or script .ftp file generation for easy configuration for clients/friends/webhosts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt; U3 USB drive support. Watch the website for a U3 specific installer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;and more.........&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Source: &lt;a href='http://www.inicom.net/forum/announcement.php?f=35' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.inicom.net/forum/announcement.php?f=35&lt;/a&gt;</description>

            <title>Microsoft overhauls Games for Windows Marketplace</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1610417</link>
            <description>&lt;!--QuoteBegin--&gt;&lt;div class='quotetop'&gt;QUOTE&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class='quotemain'&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEBegin--&gt;PC gamers may have been let down with the failure of Microsoft’s Games for Windows campaign, but things might be looking up again. According to Cnet, Microsoft will be offering an app store-like platform to purchase PC games online from the browser. The main purpose of this portal is to get rid of the need for a separate client for the Games for Windows Marketplace. According to Xbox group product manager Peter Orullian, consumer feedback has shown that general dissatisfaction with the client software. “It’s just extra work” to have to go through the hoops that a separate software client necessitates. He warns, though, that large game files will still require the use of the client to download.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, this isn’t the only thing that’s changing. Microsoft will also be forgoing the requirement to use Microsoft or Zune points to purchase content. They will still be a payment option, but many casual buyers will be pleased to know that they are no longer required to purchase preset packages of points in order to only spend some of it on your purchase.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Information delivery about the games will also get an overhaul. When you buy a game, you’re also shown any and all of the optional downloadable content available for the title, and it utilizes RSS feeds from developers to display recent news and updates about the games.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It looks like Microsoft is finally starting to pull together their successful Xbox Live platform and their not as successful Games for Windows platform into a cohesive unit. With easy access to games, downloadable content and latest news, the Games for Windows Marketplace experience is probably going to feel a lot like the Xbox Live Marketplace experience when this is all over. This would be a good move for Microsoft, and other digital software distribution platforms, like Valve and Stardock, better watch their backs. If the overhaul of Games for Windows really is anything like the Xbox Live platform, this will likely be a success. &lt;b&gt;The site will go live November 15.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEnd--&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!--QuoteEEnd--&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href='http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-overhauls-games-for-windows-marketplace' target='_blank'&gt;http://www.neowin.net/news/microsoft-overh...ows-marketplace&lt;/a&gt;</description>
