Stable build 5090 is now available. The snapshots have been updated. Please upgrade ASAP, unless you are using the unstable branch. You can do this on Windows by using the update option on the start menu. On Linux, OS/X etc, you can update by using the update.sh script (and restart the node). You can alternatively shut down your node and download http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar over your existing freenet.jar, then restart your node. If you are currently on a build prior to 5089, then you will also need to reseed.
CHANGELOG: Routing: * Fixed a major 4 month old bug that was causing Route Not Found errors to happen more quickly and more often than they should. This probably did other bad things too. * Most of the global estimators were wiped on startup resulting in less accurate routing and possibly rate limiting. * When reseeding, don't include nodes so old that we won't talk to them. Rate limiting: * Improvements to globalQuota (rate limiting's "how many total requests should we aim for?" function): Average globalQuota, not the load put into it (otherwise we have inertia in the wrong place which makes oscillations worse), calculate the maximum number of requests we can handle based on bandwidth usage and probability of success and don't let globalQuota get any higher than that (should smooth rate limiting). * Use a longer time period for the various averages and counters used by rate limiting. This should reduce the effects of long-lived requests on rate limiting. * Add a new form of high-level bandwidth limiting, which predicts the expected outbound bandwidth usage based on current request rate and probability of an incoming request causing a transfer. Should smooth out rate limiting. Padding: * Don't send RequestInterval's on FNP messages. Don't parse them if we receive them. They are unnecessary as all nodes on the new stable network understand the new (small, fixed size) MRI messages. We can therefore reduce the padding interval from 200 bytes to 160 bytes. UI changes: * Two new values on the General infolet. * Minor HTML fixes on the Open Connections page. Misc: * Fix runaway receiving transfers count on the Open Connections page. This was a reporting bug, we were not really receiving hundreds (in some cases) of files. * If a config file parameter is misspelled or otherwise corrupt, we used to throw a ClassCastException and refuse to start. This is a fairly common support problem. Now we provide a much more informative message to stderr and the log file, and attempt to use the default value for the param. * Accept multipliers (kKmMgG) on integers and shorts (different kinds of whole number options) in the config, as well as on longs. Practical upshot: You can now do "outputBandwidthLimit=10k". * Don't start the node if another node is running. This is enforced using locking a lock file. * Don't change the node file unless the address detected has actually changed, and add synchronization to prevent race in the address redetect function. Both of these fix the node renaming error messages sometimes seen shortly after startup. * Get rid of WriteSelectorLoop.fixKeys, cause of the fixKeys error messages. Hopefully this is unnecessary. It was a workaround for perceived issues in NIO, which probably don't exist. :) * Fix some NullPointerException's. * Delete some useless code, including code for backwards compatibility with 5084. Some of the nastier bugs in 5085-5088 came from this code. * Minor bug fixes (hopefully) in diagnostics. * Bug fix relating to message construction, probably wouldn't cause problems in this build but did in 5088. * Minor improvements to the Distribution Servlet: Use the right size bucket (slight efficiency improvement), support temp dir and distrib dir on different volumes. * Logging improvements * Update copyright notices on freenet/support/CPUInformation/*CPUInfo. New diagnostic variables: * outputBytesMRI (bytes used for sending low level MRI messages) * outputBytesPaddingOverhead (bytes used only for padding messages out to a "safe" size) * outputBytesTrailerChunksInsert (bytes used to send files for inserts) * requestTransferTime (time taken by successful file transfers) * requestCompletionTime (total time taken by successful requests) -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
