Freenet 0.7.5 build 1365 is now available. Please upgrade! The main focus of this build is on backend code used by Freetalk, WebOfTrust and other client software, particularly USK updating. We now use the DBR hints we've been inserting for a while to quickly find the latest edition of a USK, before probing for it by trying editions, and we try to not pass the latest edition through to the client until we're fairly sure it is the latest edition, avoiding a lot of unnecessary fetching (of CHKs linked from the SSKs) and parsing. Lots of related debugging.
Also, there are small changes to load management. When there is severe network congestion, Freenet should avoid accepting requests that it can't answer due to its connections being much slower than its bandwidth limit. Various minor client layer fixes, some minor web interface improvements (including an id on the body tag on fproxy pages, as requested to help client-side stylesheets), warn that Freetalk is still in progress on the chat page, support HTML5 better, add Sone and Xor's flog to the bookmarks and remove Evan, improved translation infrastructure for plugins, set the default log rotation back to 1 hour for caution's sake, update the README slightly, new versions of Library (minor), FlogHelper, WebOfTrust and Freetalk, Swedish, Russian and German translation updates, and some minor improvements to the english text. It is likely that there will be significant further changes related to Freetalk/WoT/USK subscriptions in the fairly near future, some of them network-level (finally implementing RecentlyFailed, a mechanism to reduce the load caused by polling and speed up frequent failing requests for the same key). Xor is also working on major optimisations for Freetalk so it doesn't use so much disk I/O and CPU and lose messages. Thanks, and please let us know how it goes! Report any bugs you find on the mailing lists, Freetalk, FMS, IRC or the bug tracker, and let us know how performance works out - it *should* be a bit faster in Freetalk, and certainly should use less CPU. xor artefact2 toad ice_fairy hungrid sweetie TheSeeker etaoin Eleriseth@fms
