Freenet 0.7.5 build 1456 is now available. This build is riskier than most but I have tested it fairly extensively. Please let me know if you have any difficulties updating. Also see the first item below. Changes include: - Automatically update the wrapper binaries on linux/mac systems (other than Gentoo). This should fix a major bug on Linux where after updating the node can get stuck in a loop until it is manually restarted (or the computer is rebooted). This is a lot more work than it sounds because we need to replace a whole bunch of files at once, then restart the wrapper (not just the node). - An important bugfix to the transport layer, should improve bandwidth usage on fast connections, this is especially obvious when transferring files between nodes (e.g. from the node-to-node text messaging system, click on a Friend and send a file). - Download the latest version of update.sh, and make it executable. The updater was downloading an old, broken version of update.sh, and was not making it executable. This is the last-resort manual update script for linux/mac. - Various bugfixes for the updater. - Make node references more robust, any line which contains e.g. spaces will be base64 encoded, so passing noderefs via e.g. IRC/instant messaging should be significantly more reliable. - Turn off NLM when upgrading from 1455 or earlier. It's broken at the moment. - Config fixes. This *might* change your settings for SSL, load management and file locations (as previous fixes in these areas were being ignored).
This build does not implement updating the wrapper binaries on Windows. That will be implemented in a future build, thanks to romnGit's update helper tool for Windows. Most of the code needed is already present in this build though. Thank you for using Freenet!
