Freenet stable build 5058 is now available. The snapshots have been
updated. Get it via the update.sh script on Linux, BSD, or OS/X, or use
the freenet-webinstall.exe utility to update on Windows, or get the jar
from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar . All stable
branch users should upgrade.

Changelog:
* Force all stable branch nodes to use the classic routing
  implementation. This may have been set wrong because a node switched
  networks, etc. If a user really wants to run ngr on the stable network
  he can edit the code and compile it him-/her-self.
* Remove the NewNodeContactor, a hack used to ensure that new nodes in
  the routing table are contacted regularly, which was only enabled if
  NGRouting was active. This has been causing a massive amount of
  traffic on the unstable branch and depending on how many nodes were
  actually running NGR on stable may have caused a lot of traffic there
  too. The replacement is code to route every 100th incoming FNP request,
  on average, using the least-experienced-first routing algorithm, if we
  are using NGR. All these changes will also be committed to unstable
  where they may make more difference.
* Minor cosmetic improvement to the routing table status page (nodes
  only show in red if they have no connections and connections are
  failing).
* The routing table size to max connections ratio has been reduced from
  a minimum of 4 to a minimum of 2. This means nodes on win9x can have a
  30 node routing table and nodes on OS/X can have a 50 node routing
  table.
* Locking fix in the classic routing table. This could have caused
  various problems...
* Up the lastGoodBuild to 5053 to remove ambiguity; probably no
  practical impact.
