I will post this on the website tomorrow if there are no objections. If anyone can suggest any improvements, please do so; sometimes what I write isn't readable by human beings!
7th May, 2009 - Another big donation! Google's Open Source team has donated US$18,000 to the Freenet Project to support the ongoing development of the Freenet software (thanks again Google!). Their last donation funded the db4o project, which has now been merged into Freenet, greatly improving performance for large download queues while reducing memory usage, amongst other benefits. We are currently working on Freenet 0.8, which will be released later this year, and will include additional performance improvements, usability work, and security improvements, as well as the usual debugging. Features are not yet finalized but we expect it to include Freetalk (a new anonymous web forums tool), a new Vista-compatible installer for Windows (that part will be out in a few days), and hopefully Bloom filter sharing, a new feature enabling nodes to know what is in their peers' datastores, greatly improving performance, combined with some related security improvements.
