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!

If you have a nonstandard setup, you should know the correct URL to use.
