They're not. They use a deliberately different protocolVersion. They are
supposed to disconnect if a node connects with a different
protocolVersion.

Possibly. Personally I haven't used unstable in ages. It is useful
_sometimes_ to have a network you can disrupt. But right now effort is
focussed on 0.7.

1) Using the seednodes files as a reference, it seems that unstable is
fairly active.  Not as active as stable, of course, but active enough to
warrant consideration.

2) No way to answer this question, really.  :-)

3) No, there would be no greater risk of overloading a node, as it would
adjust itself in exactly the same manner, regardless of the node
versions it was connecting with.

4) I only meant that it was "elite" in the sense that, because it was
NOT enabled by default, one had to take extraordinary measures to
activate this facility.

I agree.  I'd hate to see 0.6 languish totally while Toad is busy with
his 0.7 rewrite.  There's always room for improvement/new ideas.

But...if they're using the same protocol, then where's the
incompatibility?  As far as I can tell, both the latest stable and
unstable are perfectly compatible with each other.  We really might even
wish to consider just going ahead and enabling the dual-network mode by
default in versions 510x and 6026x.  I think this could be a real boon
to the currently existing network(s).

Of course, 0.7 is bound to bring some radical changes, where we'd want
to disable this feature again, but for now, it might be nice to build it
into the downloadable packages, so everyone could benefit from it.

OK, crosspost are bad, but the Freenet project normally suffer
 from really poor communications from developement team to 
 the average permanent node owner, so this time
 IMHO I *LIKE* crossposting.

Thanks Conrad.

I understand what you're saying.  But I don't understand why you
posted to *three* different lists.  If somebody's running a
dual-network node, and they expect to maintain it, then they're likely
to be on the devl list.  If they're not reading devl, then they're
likely not interested in maintaining their node.  In fact, I really
doubt that the few people running dual-network nodes are not reading
devl.

No, I just wanted to try to get the word out to as wide a potential
audience as possible.  I would *hope* that people involved enough in
freenet to undertake running a dual-network node would be subscribed to
at least one or two of these lists, but it's impossible, of course, to
know for sure if they are, or to which ones, so I just used the "spray
paint" approach.  :-)

The update itself doesn't really warrant a new build number, IMHO (or
maybe it does; I don't know).  At any rate, for the "average" stable
user, the update is completely irrelevant and can be safely ignored;
it's really only the "elite" group of dual-network node users that
needed to be informed, and I just wanted to cover all the bases in one
fell swoop.

The reason I felt it was so important was that, prior to this update,
the dual-network functionality was, in effect, pretty badly broken (at
least from the stable side), so I felt there was a certain urgency in
getting the word out.  I also feel very strongly that the dual-network
nodes serve a very vital function, bridging the two otherwise completely
separate networks and helping to propagate data between the two, thereby
helping to enrich freenet's content for everyone.

I hope I've cleared up any possible misunderstandings now.  :-)

Then it's hard to be off-topic in chat, isn't it?  For instance, I
might  remark that probably not many stable nodes will be upgraded
unless some  one builds a snapshot and increments the build number.
Well, the dual-network capability is not enabled by default in the
source code, and has never been enabled in precompiled packages, so
anyone wanting to use it would still have to get the sources, uncomment
the two relevant lines in Version.java, and build a new freenet.jar for
themselves.
In other words, it's still pretty much of an "elite" feature, and will
most likely remain so.
Maybe I misunderstood you:  I thought you were hoping for many stable 
nodes (rather than dual-network nodes themselves) to be updated.  All I 
was saying was that not many are likely to be updated unless you have a 
new build number and new snapshots available for said stable nodes.

Right.  But the No-No about crossposting is that there are likely to
be others who would not agree that it's important enough to
cross-post.
