Freenet stable build 5058 is now available. The snapshots have been
updated. Get it via the update.sh script on Linux, BSD, or OS/X, or use
the freenet-webinstall.exe utility to update on Windows, or get the jar
from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar . All stable
branch users should upgrade.

The main changes in this build are two fairly major routing changes:
We no longer use contact probability. We use exponential/linear backoff
as we have on NGR instead. This should improve performance
significantly.

Apologies for the recent flood of stable builds, it should settle down a
bit now. The two branches run different routing algos and there was a
bunch of work to be done on the stable routing algorithm...

Anyway please upgrade and try it, at your earliest convenience. It
should be a major change for the better; it's less tested than a stable
build should be but the backoff code is almost identical to the code on
NGR so likely to work fine.
