Freenet stable build 5061 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 major change is a change to routing that takes what was done in 5060 in the opposite direction, sort of... if every node rejects us, we will try the backed off nodes, but we will do it only after trying all the non-backed-off nodes. This strategy appears to have been working for local requests, before 5060, so maybe it will work more widely. This is also how we use backoff on NGRouting... anyway, all stable nodes should be upgraded as soon as possible. In practice it should improve the local node's performance irrespective of other nodes, in that it reduces the number of RNFs and increases the chance of finding data, but it may also increase the overall network load.. we may have taken it too far in the other direction in 5060. The only local cost is that it may take longer for requests to fail. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
