Freenet 0.7.5 build 1369 is now available, please upgrade, it will be mandatory in a week. Another mandatory is likely this week, but the mandatory period should be reasonable on that too; there are big changes in git, I will release another snapshot soon. Changes in 1369: - Better support for detecting when a USK has been updated. - Enable disconnecting (but not dropping) opennet peers after a fatal timeout. This should only happen when a peer is having severe connection problems. It is important for new load management and may also slightly improve performance. - Compute how many simultaneous transfers we can have while still having a reasonable (i.e. not too long) time between block sends. This is sent in the load status messages that will be used for new load management eventually, but is not yet used for deciding which requests to reject. This will change soon. The messages have changed so older nodes may see error messages; we try to suppress these errors in the new code. - Prevent the congestion control window (which decides how fast we can send packets) from growing much larger than what we've actually been sending, if the node rather than the network is the limiting factor for a particular peer connection. There is a similar issue with TCP (RFC 2861), this is only a partial fix; we'll need to rewrite our congestion control to be more TCP-like eventually. - Logging improvements. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
