-<b>3rd April, 2006: Freenet 0.7 Alpha 1</b><br>
-<p>Freenet is a decentralised "peer-to-peer" system designed to
allow the
-anonymous sharing of information on the Internet. After many
months of work,
-the first alpha version of Freenet 0.7 is ready for testing.</p>
-<p>Freenet 0.7 represents a major new approach to peer-to-peer
network design.
-To protect the network, and the user's anonymity, Freenet users
will now have
-the ability to connect directly to other people that they know
and trust,
-together forming a "global darknet" making it extremely difficult
for any
-third party, whether a government or another powerful
organisation, to
-determine that a user is participating in Freenet, let alone what
they are
-doing with it. This new version is a complete rewrite of the
Freenet
-software, representing numerous other improvements, including:</
p><ul>
-<li>Freenet now operates over UDP rather than TCP</li>
-<li>Freenet can transparently operate through firewalls</li>
-<li>Freenet's core architecture and algorithm has been redesigned
for simplicity and efficiency</li>
-<li>A new and even simpler API allowing the rapid development of
third party software that interacts with Freenet</li>
-</ul>
-<p>The new Freenet employs a simpler and more flexible routing
model than
-previous versions, which in the future may allow diverse
applications ranging
-from efficient search, to near-real time instant messaging and
chat between
-anonymous participants. Initially Freenet 0.7 will be a "pure
darknet"
-model, in that all connections must be trusted, however future
versions will
-permit a mixed opennet/darknet approach where the user can opt to
allow
-untrusted connections to their node, which will improve
connectivity and
-convenience at the expense of security.</p>
-<p>Note that this release is still a very early alpha; users
should neither
-expect it to be secure, nor user friendly. Rather, the purpose
of this release
-is to facilitate wider testing, to inform people of the progress
we have made,
-and to attract fresh development talent, both to Freenet itself,
and to third
-party applications that use Freenet as a platform.</p>
-<p>This release would not have been possible without the work of
numerous
-volunteers, and Matthew Toseland, Freenet's full time developer.
Matthew's work
-is funded through donations via our website, we ask that anyone
who can help us
-to ensure Matthew's continued employment by visiting our
donations page and
-making a contribution at:</p>
-<p><a href="http://freenetproject.org/index.php?
page=donate">http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=donate</
a></p>

-<b>18th February, 2006: Searching in a Small World</b><br>
-Oskar Sandberg has made available his thesis <a href="http://
www.math.chalmers.se/~ossa/lic.pdf">Searching in a Small World</a>.
-This describes a simple decentralized algorithm for creating
small world networks that is inspired by Freenet's original
-approach, along with the experimental and theoretical basis for
this approach. This also provides an insight into why
-small world networks might form naturally among human
relationships.

-<b>3rd January, 2006: Slides and Demo from Chaos Congress talk
now online</b><br>
-On Friday 30th Oskar Sandberg and I <a href="http://events.ccc.de/
congress/2005/fahrplan/events/492.en.html">spoke</a>
-at the 22nd Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, Germany. We
were speaking about
-the upcoming 0.7 redesign of Freenet. Now that I have thawed out
-(it was -6°C!), I have had a chance to upload our <a
href="http://freenetproject.org/papers/ccc/ccc-
slideshow.pdf.bz2">slideshow</a> (pdf.bz2 format), and a Java <a
href="http://freenetproject.org/papers/ccc/ccc-freenet-
demo.tar.bz2">demo</a>
-(requires Java 1.5).
