Freenet 0.7 build 1165 is now available. Please let me know if the auto-update doesn't fetch it, I will insert it soon (but feel free to update manually first and report bugs!). Changes include: - Hard bandwidth limiting for *all* packets, and fairer scheduling between peers and between transfers. This should mean Freenet 1) never uses much more than the outgoing bandwidth limit, and 2) doesn't waste all its bandwidth/time constantly resending packets to a single peer, to the exclusion of all others. - ipAddressOverride fixes: NPE on startup, DNS name not appearing in noderefs. - Various minor improvements to the web interface. - Various improvements to the salted hash store: Much faster maintenance (bloom filter rebuilding), change format to a single .hd file for both headers and data (sorry, this will be the last such change; automigration is in place but may use significant disk especially on Windows; it saves us a seek, which is a big deal), preallocate storage filled with random data (on Windows or Mac this costs us nothing except a bit of CPU; on *nix arguably it's overkill, it's turned off on *nix if physical security is LOW). - Hopefully fix bug #2582 (accumulating CHK offer replies causing the node's performance to collapse).
Other recent goings on in SVN include: - Fixing a major bug in the Browse Freenet script (browse.cmd) on Windows, which was causing it not to work at all. - Make auto-start a top level option in the installer, but explain why it's a good idea. - Various improvements to the website. - Lots more work on the Web of Trust plugin by batosai and xor (saces is working on the FMS plugin). - Merged recent stable builds back into the db4o branch. It should work now, but I'll merge 1165 into it, and then post a jar for wider testing. Please pass this on to FMS, I'm not using FMS at the moment: I have heard various reports of it crashing, which suggests buffer overflows, the version I was using was too old to communicate now anyway, and I don't have time to review 0.3. Sadly saces' plugin isn't a fully functional FMS replacement yet. Thanks to: luke771 toad tommy sdiz smar xor yongjhen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
