This release is planned to be the second-to-last version of Freenet to
support Java 6. The version after this one will refuse to upgrade
unless running on Java 7 or later. Support for this behavior is part of
a larger effort to allow separate official update channels - stable,
testing, and unstable - as well as make it easier to publish unofficial
update channels and further improve deployment security.
Highlights for this build:
* Add Hungarian Windows installer translation. Thanks drezzium!
* Allow hiding the Java version End Of Life alert. (I'm sorry for the
excessive annoyingness. Still - please upgrade Java!)
* Upgrades to the next version (that is, when running this build's
upgrade code) should no longer get stuck in an upgrade loop. [0]
* Increase opennet peer limit to 142 peers. This now has more math
behind it and will change when network parameters are adjusted. [1]
* Add more opennet seed nodes. Thanks saces and juiceman!
* This build will be mandatory starting 2014-11-16, because old nodes
will reject new nodes with more than 110 peers. Updates only
take a few hours to spread, so this should only cause short term
disruption.
Additionally Matthew's (toad_'s) summer work on a custom on-disk
format is done. This release lays the groundwork to include the results
of that work in the next release. [2] This is designed for less
disk activity and better behavior when corrupted.
This release coincides with the 25th anniversary of the demolition of
the Berlin wall (Mauerfall), which marked the beginning of the end of a
large censorship and surveillance regime. May censorship be demolished
everywhere!
Thank you for using Freenet!

work for some setups. If you have a nonstandard setup, you should know
