If your node does not update automatically, you may need to update it manually as described in my previous message. The simplest way to deal with the problem is to shut down Frost, FMS and Web of Trust and reboot and the auto-update should work given an hour or two.
Thanks to everyone involved in getting this build out in difficult
circumstances!
=====
Freenet 0.7.5 build 1474 is now available. This is an emergency bugfix release,
hence I am releasing it rather than Steve while he is incapacitated. It fixes
some important bugs, one of which is involved in the current attacks on Frost
and Sone.
Summary of changes:
* Fix the Frostbite bug: if the node downloads a malicious key, this would
cause the whole client layer to break. This is currently being actively used to
attack Frost and Sone.
* Automatically upgrade nodes to use the minimum bandwidth limit if necessary.
Some nodes were unable to start up because their bandwidth limit was too low.
Apologies to anyone affected by this. Also, improve the logic that sets the
per-second bandwidth limits from a monthly setting. Obviously, you should be
very careful if using Freenet on a connection with a monthly transfer limit.
* Minor security improvements to the web interface.
If your node is unable to update because of the Frostbite bug, please turn off
the affected applications (unload the Web of Trust and Sone plugins and shut
down Frost), and then restart the node. It should pick up the update within a
few hours. If it still doesn't work, the update.cmd or update.sh scripts may
fix the problem, but they will access our website in a traceable manner.
Thank you for using Freenet!
