Freenet 0.7 build 1076 is now available. Please upgrade! (Hopefully your node will automatically upgrade for you). This build features many bugfixes and a number of larger changes, including: - Fix several deadlocks, and a bug causing the node to effectively stop functioning with several hung inserts. - Local requests and inserts are now treated almost exactly the same as remote requests and inserts. This should improve security and overall network performance. - Beginnings of port forwarding detection. In the long term this should increase network efficiency (by being able to turn off aggressive handshaking), and enable parts of opennet and possibly some forms of darknet invites. - Rekey the link encryption every hour or gigabyte, whichever comes first. So if an attacker seizes the node, he can only decrypt traffic on open connections less recent than 1 hour 5 minutes. - More improvements to plugins, new plugin API for exposing plugin functions to FCP. - Store the bookmarks list in a separate file. - Lots of minor code refactoring and cleanups. - Turn off probe requests for now. We may add new probe requests soon, but they will be simpler (threaded).
In other news, the windows installer now has a proper uninstall script, the offline installer works again, and various other fixes. And Jack O'Lantern has taken over maintaining 0.5.
