Hi,
The Freenet team is happy to release Freenet 1490 today. This release provides three different changes: - streaming in the browser, - mitigating the pitch black attack, and - providing the windows-installer from the node again. It is available at https://freenetproject.org/pages/download.html For **streaming**, it builds on the m3u-filter to provide direct in-browser streaming. Currently it works with audio (mp3 and ogg vorbis) and video (ogg theora) in sufficient quality for music playlists and specially crafted video-streams. With this change, adding a media-tag that references an m3u-list like <audio src="stream.m3u" controls="controls"> <a href="stream.m3u">stream.m3u</a> </audio> or <video src="stream.m3u" controls="controls"> <a href="stream.m3u">stream.m3u</a>, starting with <a href="sff-001.ogv">sff-001.ogv</a>. Putting the first video here causes freesitemgr to more likely put the first video into the container, giving faster initial startup. </video> gives you a freesite with a clickable media-tag that plays the m3u-list. In Sharesites you need to add at least one space before the tag. If you want to stream via Freenet yourself, you’ll find help in a [thirdparty howto][streaming-howto]. There are three example sites: - Audio-Playlist: USK@1wpsnrzb9fiFmmq6OozoZ0Mnk376AlizUKjKPh3TXwM,CwfRO8X0xaCUzH28eoHigxUV-5TkRV8hCoQdO2kmsQM,AQACAAE/streaming-over-fproxy/3/ - Streaming Video: USK@UGh1rxaHczJVr4k4LwxWrxFBc-Dt5P0F3IuPONpp8ZQ,klWF5g9B2PLst8tRO8c9tzk6XvisGynFVJRzM8-9718,AQACAAE/stream-36c3-sff/3/ - Radio Interview: USK@4DQ15JpGlVGDdyXvQE3Egz7SLK2TzMAUmp~aptnwyt4,ljFASreV8AHaQhscfrNLuVyl3qksltgP9sndtLuUHB8,AQACAAE/stream-radiocc-freenet/1/ This follows an old idea to enhance freesites with strictly checked interactivity, similar to userscripts but without the security implications of adding a script that might have a very different threat model than Freenet itself. Also this release ships a **mitigation for the pitch black attack**. For details see <https://www.mail-archive.com/devl@freenetproject.org/msg55182.html> Mitigating the pitch black attack is supported by NLnet as part of the NGI0 PET Fund. For details see <https://nlnet.nl/project/Freenet-Routing/> Thank you! There are still more tests needed to ensure that the change suffices to resolve the main objection that existed among people well-versed in the technical background of Freenet, GNUnet, and others against using the friend-to-friend mode of Freenet since 2007. It used to be far too easy to break a pure friend-to-friend net (all nodes using high-security mode). This should be resolved now. And finally the **UOM transfer max sizes were tripled**, so the windows-installer provided by Freenet nodes gets updated again, and the annoying warning about freenet-latest-installer-windows.exe during install and update disappears. Thank you for using Freenet! - Arne Babenhauserheide PS: The Mac Installer needs support. The plan for next release is to get smaller pull-requests and plugin-changes released.
