Freenet 0.7 build 1143 was released yesterday, and is mandatory tomorrow. Sorry for the lack of changelogs. Here they are for the last few builds:
1141: - Don't give up so easily when loading plugins. We were having some problems with plugins failing to load. 1142: - Show one-line summaries of useralerts on the homepage, in a single box, rather than showing the full alert. The summary links to the full explanation on the (new) Alerts page. At least one user in usability testing wasn't able to use Freenet because he didn't see the bookmarks for all the useralerts! - Fix long delay enabling opennet in the first-time wizard. - Don't start sending requests until 5 minutes after enabling opennet, not 5 minutes after startup. This is good for new users if they don't complete setup immediately. - Various other web interface improvements. - Bandwidth limiting: rewrite and simplify some code. Hopefully it is more accurate now. - Fix running UP&P and STUN every 5 minutes. - Fix USK at ... sometimes redirecting to a CHK if no trailing slash. - Some optimisations / memory usage reductions. - Some stats fixes, including the infamous off by one in the too-few-peers alerts. - FCP changes: RemovePersistentRequest is now RemoveRequest (the old name works too), and removes non-persistent requests as well as persistent ones (if Global=false). PersistentPutDir indicates what kind of directory upload it is. - Installer: Fix broken plugin downloading, and a bug breaking opening a browser. - There was also work on saces' KeyExplorer plugin, Bombe's jFCPlib and jSite, and dieppe's Thingamablog (with help from nextgens) Credits: batosai dbkr j16sdiz saces toad tommy wavey 1143: - Some improvements to the code that decides whether to accept a request (or start a local one). Freenet now takes into account whether a request is local or not, this should lead to increased bandwidth usage when there are requests queued (it might open up some timing attacks, so it can be disabled; there are other probably easier attacks if you're worried about that though!). - More work on the web interface and useralerts, including a button to remove all notification alerts (download complete, bookmark updated) if there are more than two. - Make maximum memory usage configurable on the config page and in the first-time wizard. - Some wording improvements. - Installer: Tell the user when the process page has finished on Windows (we already do this on linux/mac). - Dieppe did some more work on Thingamablog.
