Freenet 0.7 build 1170 is now available, please upgrade! There are many changes, built over the time since 1166 - the last 3 builds have been critical bugfixes only. The most important changes: - New compression formats: Files are compressed with gzip, bzip2 or lzma, whichever gives best compression. This should give a significant saving for many files, and the increased compression time is likely offset by the reduced insertion time. - New container format: Freesites are packed into tar files, rather than zip files. These tar files are then compressed as above. For HTML, plain text etc, if it fits into the container, we should expect a substantial gain (50% seems plausible) in the number of blocks needed to insert a site, and therefore how long it takes to fetch it; please reinsert your freesites. - Make sure the user goes through the first-time wizard - if they haven't, open it on connecting to fproxy. The purpose here is to avoid problems with newbies with unconfigured nodes because of various failures. If you have your settings exactly as you want them, please click on "I am not a newbie". - A new blue theme by Dieppe, and some minor fixes to the web interface. - Warn the user if their IP address is not detected and there are no IP detection plugins loaded. Also some minor fixes to IP detection. - Don't drop a plugin just because it didn't load this time, try it again on next startup unless the user tells us not to. Minor changes to plugin loading. - Fix a bug causing us to leak file handles (fd's). - Lots of bug fixes and internal refactoring. - And the usual translation updates.
There has also been lots of work on the installer, the web site, the firefox profile, the UPnP plugin (which you should reload if you use it), the db4o branch, the Web of Trust and Freetalk (formerly FMS) plugins (which p0s has been working hard on for some time and will be ready for initial testing very soon), and jSite 0.6.2 is out (bombe).
