Unfortunatly WASTE 1.5 looks like a manadatory upgrade as it fixes a few security holes in WASTE .One major vunerability Waste was able to be crashed by a annoymous user and this has now been fixed in 1.5 and now older clients cannot connect to WASTE 1.5 .

From the change log for WASTE 1.5 Alpha 1
• Although the inner protocol is compatible to older clients, I have made them incompatible by forcing another sync sequence. Because older clients have security issues this step is really needed.

Also WASTE 2 will not be compatible anyway so best to upgrade now .

WASTE 1.5 offers alot of improvments also like better DNS Redirection ,Resume downloads and the new "Stealth mode" go look at the change log to see them all.
