id: FEAT-020 title: DB-IP city geolocation — location label and flag per peer status: Done priority: Trivial category: feature labels: [ui, geolocation, geoip, network, peer-info] milestone: ~ created: 2026-04-10 source: main commit aaf253f (FEAT-020 add DB-IP city geolocation UI and updater)

Summary¶

This feature is merged to main.

Current eMule-main does not use the original eMuleAI GeoLite2 / MaxMind import path. Instead, it landed a lower-drift built-in DB-IP City Lite reader and updater that keeps the user-visible goal while avoiding a larger dependency-policy jump.

Mainline commit:

aaf253f — FEAT-020 add DB-IP city geolocation UI and updater

Landed Mainline Shape¶

Primary files:

srchybrid/GeoLocation.cpp/.h
srchybrid/Emule.cpp/.h
srchybrid/EmuleDlg.cpp/.h
geo-aware list/dialog surfaces such as:
DownloadListCtrl.cpp
QueueListCtrl.cpp
UploadListCtrl.cpp
ServerListCtrl.cpp
KadContactListCtrl.cpp
ClientDetailDialog.cpp

Implemented Behavior¶

Current main now provides:

a built-in MMDB reader specialized for DB-IP City Lite data
optional automatic or manual DB refresh through the existing app surface
Location text display rather than a country-only column
flag rendering plus country/city text on the supported list views
graceful behavior when the DB is missing or geolocation is disabled

Why The Backlog Item Is Closed¶

The original backlog entry came from eMuleAI's GeoLite2 feature work. That exact implementation did not land, but the practical capability did land on main under the same tracked feature id with a more conservative dependency choice.

What remains now is ordinary maintenance of the landed DB-IP implementation, not a pending geolocation feature gap.

Relationship To Other Items¶

independent of protocol behavior and peer-routing logic
complements the later Location column backfill work already landed under FEAT-023
long-path hardening for the DB refresh/install path later landed under BUG-029
