We are happy to announce that aMule 3.0.0 has been released on June 8, 2026 — the first release since 2.3.3 (February 2021). Highlights include dramatic download throughput improvements, a build-system migration from autotools to CMake, a modernized dependency stack, and a broad cleanup of legacy APIs. The full changelog is available at:

• Changelog: https://amule-org.github.io/changelog/3.0.0
• Source code and release tarballs: https://github.com/amule-org/amule/releases

Important: the project has moved. Development no longer happens in the old amule-project GitHub organization. The project now lives at:

• New repository: https://github.com/amule-org/amule
• New website and documentation: https://amule-org.github.io/

This is an official, legitimate handover. The old repository's README carries this notice (https://github.com/amule-project/amule#important-notice):

The work in aMule will continue in the new aMule-org repo (https://github.com/amule-org/amule). The reason we had to create a new organization is that Gonosztopi, who is the single owner of aMule Project (https://github.com/amule-project), has been unreachable. As a result, in the aMule-project organization we became unable to update the infrastructure to the project's needs.

When updating your package, please:

1. Point the upstream/source URLs to https://github.com/amule-org/amule and the homepage to https://amule-org.github.io/.
2. Note that aMule now builds with CMake instead of autotools — your build recipe will need to be adapted.

If you have any questions or run into packaging issues, feel free to open an issue at https://github.com/amule-org/amule/issues — we are glad to help.

For the records, tests fails have been resolved upstream after few days, upnp have been enabled again, LTO disabled because fails

@m8D2 yeah I got the same errors now

Just to add, building against commit b59c2f300, same as the pkgver=2.3.3.r109.b59c2f300, completes successfully.

For example, slightly modify the PKGBUILD on the line with source= to this:

source=("git+https://github.com/amule-project/amule.git#commit=b59c2f300"

However, the build fails with the latest commit as of 2026-04-27 (8c3dbf84f6f3bd80f1b91314abb46cf45a590620).

The errors are:

Built well, thanks for the cmake patch.

I was only able to build amule with cmake3. With the normal cmake i was not able to build it.

@lodger seen that yesterday too, passing the usual flag didn't work at first sight, likely have to use cmake3

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (CMAKE_MINIMUM_REQUIRED): Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.

Update the VERSION argument <min> value. Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.

Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

@dreieck https://github.com/FabioLolix/PKGBUILD/issues/21 it isn't a top priority for me
