"someone" on IIP found an anon filter vulnerability. This could let a malicious freesite author force your browser to load images from the world wide web and therefore trace your IP address and destroy your anonymity. It has been fixed in the latest snapshots. Everyone should upgrade right now. Stable build 5015 and unstable build 6104 are safe from this issue. I would just like to point out that it is always possible that we will find new vulnerabilities in the web interface like this, and anyone who really values his/her anonymity should take extra precautions - see the README for some suggestions.
Because the snapshots have been updated, new Windows users will not be affected. I am releasing 0.5.2.1 immediately, with the fix, and the various minor fixes that have accumulated since 0.5.2, because unix users will continue to install the old version unless they update until we have a new release. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible. Our Boss says so.
