Freenet 0.7.5 build 1367 is now available. Please upgrade, it will be mandatory in a week on the 3rd of May.
This build includes a significant change aimed at optimising Freetalk, FMS and similar chat apps and plugins based on Freenet. This is called RecentlyFailed. Basically, when we send a request, other nodes remember this for an hour, so if the data is found, it is sent back to us; this is called ULPRs, and allows reasonably fast messaging while only sending a request a few times an hour. RecentlyFailed takes advantage of this to terminate requests for keys that we've had lots of requests for recently. Hopefully it will reduce the current average unsuccessful SSK request time of around 19 seconds. If successful, this should increase the number of SSK requests we can send, how many USKs we can poll, and therefore significantly improve the performance of Freetalk and similar tools. Other changes: - Statistics on average time taken by local SSK requests as well as CHK requests (which we already had). - German and Russian updates (Danish will be in the next build). - Fix the max-size= problems with copying URIs - downloads and uploads no longer include ?max-size, and Freenet can parse URIs wih ?max-size= in them. - Minor fixes to make it easier to run Freenet in an OSGi plugin container. The new code has been tested, but it is a significant change so it might cause disruption. Please report any bugs on IRC, on the mailing lists, via Freetalk or FMS, or using the bug tracker. Thanks!
