[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7 build 1165

[Matthew Toseland]

Freenet 0.7 build 1165 is now available. Please let me know if the auto-update 
doesn't fetch it, I will insert it soon (but feel free to update manually 
first and report bugs!). Changes include:
- Hard bandwidth limiting for *all* packets, and fairer scheduling between 
peers and between transfers. This should mean Freenet 1) never uses much more 
than the outgoing bandwidth limit, and 2) doesn't waste all its 
bandwidth/time constantly resending packets to a single peer, to the 
exclusion of all others.
- ipAddressOverride fixes: NPE on startup, DNS name not appearing in noderefs.
- Various minor improvements to the web interface.
- Various improvements to the salted hash store: Much faster maintenance 
(bloom filter rebuilding), change format to a single .hd file for both 
headers and data (sorry, this will be the last such change; automigration is 
in place but may use significant disk especially on Windows; it saves us a 
seek, which is a big deal), preallocate storage filled with random data (on 
Windows or Mac this costs us nothing except a bit of CPU; on *nix arguably 
it's overkill, it's turned off on *nix if physical security is LOW).
- Hopefully fix bug #2582 (accumulating CHK offer replies causing the node's 
performance to collapse).

Other recent goings on in SVN include:
- Fixing a major bug in the Browse Freenet script (browse.cmd) on Windows, 
which was causing it not to work at all.
- Make auto-start a top level option in the installer, but explain why it's a 
good idea.
- Various improvements to the website.
- Lots more work on the Web of Trust plugin by batosai and xor (saces is 
working on the FMS plugin).
- Merged recent stable builds back into the db4o branch. It should work now, 
but I'll merge 1165 into it, and then post a jar for wider testing.

Please pass this on to FMS, I'm not using FMS at the moment: I have heard 
various reports of it crashing, which suggests buffer overflows, the version 
I was using was too old to communicate now anyway, and I don't have time to 
review 0.3. Sadly saces' plugin isn't a fully functional FMS replacement yet.
