MAMEHub 0.5 released

MAMEHub 0.5 is released. You can download it from here: http://code.google.com/p/mamehub/downloads/list . MAMEHub 0.4 (or earlier) is not compatible with 0.5 and users must uninstall *and completely remove* 0.4 and install 0.5 to continue using MAMEHub.
For people who don't know, MAMEHub allows users to play MAME and MESS games online. It works by syncing two games across the internet, and has desync correction so games never become unplayable. Over 40,000 unique games can be played using MAMEHub, including many consoles and arcade machines.
Here's a list of some of the more significant changes in MAMEHub 0.5 and the CSMAME & CSMESS included in 0.5:
-The initial sync process (which could take on the order of 15 minutes for some machines) is completely gone and games now start almost instantly
-The input latency is better estimated and games are smoother
-Users can now choose any port to forward on their router and are not required to choose 5805
-Unicode support, including japanese and korean characters
-Improvements to the game auditor, a system that automatically finds ROMs and places them in a tree for easy access
-Many sync issues fixed, including time-dependent sync bugs and memory overruns
-Several memory leaks fixed, and games can now run indefinitely

Still no source? Disappointing.
ETA: And if you find things that cause games to desync on startup on stock MAME, please submit any patches. It's important for input recording and MARP, too.

I think the source is here:
http://code.google.com/p/mamehub/source/browse/
EDIT: I have just noticed that CSMAME and CSMESS source it's not available anymore (it was hosted on github, previously).
It would be good to have it included too, given license restrictions

thanks for the correction.
I had bookmarked an older address which was now dead, and that's why I thought the source was not available anymore.

Good job on releasing a Linux port, however at least in Ubuntu it seems to have some issues with the system tray.

Ubuntu went off and did their own system tray that's incompatible with all other Linux distros, so that's not surprising.
