Hi,
I created the first test release for 1494: https://github.com/freenet/fred/releases/tag/build01494 Please check the installers and please test whether the freenet-testing-build-1494-pre1.jar works as a drop-in replacement for freenet.jar freenet.jar.new and freenet-stable-latest.jar This will become 1494 if no major problems are found. This build improves four broad areas: - streaming on demand, - configuration, - security, and - bugfixes. Streaming provides improved video and audio: Video sizes are more robust when the size changes between subsequent videos. Audio tags no longer try to display the overlay. This finally enables convenient Samizdat Radio To help modernize the configuration of existing nodes, Freenet now shows a user alert once every Freenet update if the datastore is below 10% of available space with a link to the store size wizard page to make it easy to increase the store. Thanks to Trivuele! Also the bandwidth settings now parse the bit suffix correctly (lowercase b in kbps is bit, not byte). The security received improvements both for friend to friend mode, for opennet, and to tools for Freesites: Friend-to-Friend mode now randomizes pitch black defense times and waits at least 12 hours between pitch black mitigations to prevent timing attacks. Opennet is hardened by disabling the write local to datastore functionality when opennet is enabled; it can be useful on a small darknet, but on opennet it makes it easier to find downloaders. Thanks to Trivuele! Also a FOAF mitigation was fixeb that wasn't operational, because it lacked a conversion to percent. Thanks to freedom-of-depression! The /imagecreator/ tool, among other changes, now ensures that requested image sizes are sane — thanks to Oleh from Redwerk Finally it’s now easier to build fred without network access. Thanks to Trivuele! In addition to these improvements, bugs got fixed: - fix build with modern Java: add opens jvmargs on java 17. - remove Frost on ChatForumsToadlet from non-updated translations (removed 2019 from the original english). - fix parts of the German translation. - Do not store blocks in the cache, if they are eligible for the store (should increase usable cache size). Thanks to Trivuele! A big thank you to all contributors and reviewers for getting this release in shape! And thank you for using Freenet! - AB Developer changelog: 2022-06-24 Changes in 1494: - Show a user alert (once every Freenet update) if the datastore is below 10% of available space with a link to the store size wizard page to make it easy to increase the store ― thanks to Trivuele - Do not store blocks in the cache, if they are eligible for the store (should increase usable cache size) thanks to Trivuele - m3u-player: more robust sizes, do not use overlay for audio. This finally enables convenient Samizdat Radio - randomize pitch black defense times and wait at least 12 hours between pitch black mitigations to prevent timing attacks - bandwidth settings: parse bit suffix correctly - improve /imagecreator/ thanks to Oleh from Redwerk - Disable write local to datastore functionality when opennet is enabled; it can be useful on a small darknet, but on opennet it makes it easier to find downloaders. thanks to Trivuele - make it easier to build fred without network access thanks to Trivuele - fix build with modern Java: add opens jvmargs on java 17 - fix: a FOAF mitigation wasn t operational, because it lacked a conversion to percent. thanks to freedom-of-depression - remove Frost on ChatForumsToadlet from non-updated translations (removed 2019 from the original english) - fix parts of the German translation To test this from Freenet, just switch the update key on http://127.0.0.1:8888/config/node.updater?fproxyAdvancedMode=2 (or whatever your IP and Port) to USK@wytBz~rduWSo9-MmVW4AVqY3ESebPPCP9vC-eSxe-vg,mZqWi0sHmhn5kt0idu-~K4pk~~8eNXxMeYen73FOfA8,AQACAAE/jar/1493 1494 roadmap: - One week of testing the pre-release - A release to a testing key next weekend - Insert to the real update key on saturday 2022-07-02. This release contains more Java 17 compatibility fixes, especially for Windows, and that requires changes in the installer and tray which are a bit brittle (failing there can cause Freenet to fail to start), so we need testing in many configurations! Please give it good testing! Best wishes, AB -- Unpolitisch sein heißt politisch sein, ohne es zu merken. draketo.de
