Freenet 0.7 build 1198 is now available, and will be mandatory at midnight GMT.
The main change is request turtling. This is an attempt to reduce the average request latency by cutting off request transfers at 60 seconds - we cancel the downstream transfers, and backoff the node, but let it continue to transfer at whatever rate it makes, and if the transfer succeeds, we offer it to the nodes which have requested the data. There are various limits on "turtle transfers", and they should be only a minority of requests - but hopefully they should cut the latency of the average request significantly, at the cost of a small number of requests failing early. If the data is queued, it will be propagated after the turtle transfer completes; if it was an fproxy request, it will be propagated but of course it won't be displayed. Apart from turtling, there is also a minor fix to request handling (which might just have been part of the bandwidth collapsing bug), and a minor tempfile leak fix, and some new stats for turtling, and a fix to block transfer statistics. Please upgrade!
