We have forked the unstable branch. It now uses an incompatible protocol
version to the stable. This means you will need new seednodes. They are
available from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/unstable.ref .
Please update daily. Ideally please email me so that I know you are
running an unstable node, perhaps with its address, because I need to
know roughly how many nodes are up for testing purposes. The procedure:
Stop Freenet.
Get a recent unstable jar from 
http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-unstable-latest.jar and rename to 
freenet.jar over your old freenet.jar
Get new seednodes from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/unstable.ref
and rename to seednodes.ref over your old seednodes file
Remove the files node lsnodes_* rt* to wipe your old routing table
Change your port number in your freenet.conf to eliminate unnecessary
incompatible traffic
Start the node
Mail me to say you have one running, update daily and do some testing

Of course you may wish instead to revert to stable, or to run two nodes.

The purpose of the fork is so that we can have a network exclusively
consisting of NGRouting nodes; with enough nodes we should be able to
test NGRouting without problems with the large number of stable nodes on
the old network which run the old routing algorithm, which we believe
not to be very compatible. This network will eventually become the basis
of Freenet 0.6, we hope.

We don't need a lot of publicity at this stage...
