Freenet 0.7 build 1159 is now available. Please upgrade, let us know if auto-update doesn't fetch it for you. This build will be mandatory on Monday the 8th of September. Major changes: - Significant work on the temporary buckets code. This should fix the memory problems that many experienced in 1158. Nextgens has been working on this for a few builds, and it should improve the performance of e.g. fproxy by caching a small amount (10MB by default) of temporary data in RAM to speed things up. - Various other optimisations by nextgens and others. - Language updates for Finnish, German, French and Italian. - Don't use the detected bandwidth limits from UP&P if it's obviously double NATed (i.e. a router behind another router). - A few bug fixes. - Some code tidy-ups.
Note that the plugins API has changed slightly. You may need to reload some plugins after upgrading, or if you have recently reloaded plugins on 1158, they may not work. Note also that there is a new freenet-ext.jar. This will be automatically downloaded once the node has upgraded to 1159. The new freenet-ext.jar includes changes to the database used for the datastore that are **not backwards compatible**: once your database has been upgraded, it will not work with older freenet-ext.jar's. Thanks to: batosai j16sdiz Luke771 NEOatNHNG nextgens saces Smar toad In other news, batosai has been working on his Web of Trust plugin, which may now become the basis for an easier to use java-based FMS implementation (saces is working on the middle layer, that part is so far published over Freenet/hg only), j16sdiz continues to work on the salted hash datastore, which should be a significant gain in performance, memory usage and simplicity, and toad (me) continues to work on the database branch; I will send a message soliciting wider testing on that soon, it has more or less reached a usable performance level at least for requests. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
