Hi,
The changes to make Freenet work with Java 16 and 17 on Windows are finally in (not yet perfect, but functional on my test VM¹), so we’re back on track for 1493 now. There are three pull-requests that still need review for release, though: - randomize pitch black defense times https://github.com/freenet/fred/pull/747 this removes a possible leak of the startup time, found by nextgens - Update default bookmarks for 1493 https://github.com/freenet/fred/pull/760 Add Index Clean Spider. Remove dead indexes. They cause people to think that there is nothing new, and they are available via jFniki.Index (sidenote: it would be great if someone could step up with contact on FMS or Sone to maintain jFniki.Index) Add Sharesite Documentation freesite Add Shoeshop and FLIP (both are essential power-tools that were totally undiscoverable for new users) - Increase upload bandwidth fallback if none detected to 32KiB/s https://github.com/freenet/fred/pull/761 because it’s no longer 2011 — even mobile phones are much faster nowadays. 32KiB/s are 10 peers, so this should give good performance even if UPnP fails. 16KiB/s were only 7 peers, which gives a sluggish Freenet experience. Also please check the changes in wininstaller-innosetup and wintray and call out anything strange! I’m pushing there directly. Please do keep a sharp eye on what I commit. There are also changes to the wrapper, but these are already from 2018 and not by me and I have to find out how and where we can push that code (and yes, that must happen before release). And please DO NOT TRUST ME. Please check what I do. - https://github.com/freenet/wininstaller-innosetup/ - https://github.com/freenet/wintray ¹: a changed innosetup (installs java 10 on windows 64 now), and a change to the wrapper (thanks to operhiem1 and nextgens who already fixed that it 2018, it just wasn’t in the installer), and a change to the wintray so it recognizes that Java 9+ is OK. The only problem that remains is that signing the FreenetTray does not work, so this will need testing whether that creates problems on a real windows (instead of a testing VM). I did not expect the adjustment to the changes to the registry in modern Java to take that long. Best wishes, Arne PS: The censorship surrounding the war in Ukraine convinced even the BBC that communication over darknet is important. With Shoeshop now visible in the default bookmarks, Freenet provides a level of independence from establishehd power that previously was only available with massive effort via analog Samizdat using typewriters (shoutout: https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/95.2_Samizdat_Radio). -- Unpolitisch sein heißt politisch sein, ohne es zu merken. draketo.de
