There are under a dozen nodes. Sometimes I suspect there are on average two to three working nodes at any time. So 0.4 works surprisingly well in that peculiar sense of the word "works" that means "has never been tested but nevertheless is exceptionally troublesome". > My feeling is that once the datastore corruption bug is fixed, we should > do a release of 0.5.

I suggest everyone checks it out. Yeah, it's amazing how smart people can ignore that intractable anonymous flooding problem and design vulnerable systems. _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
