next ():

  • add a NEWS file
  • Fix problems with blank bookmark names. Thanks to _xiaoyu for the report!
  • Fix missing the software category in bookmarks.

1470 (2015-08-15):

  • FIX Freemail problems that prevented sending mail
  • remove a compromised opennet seed node
  • Freemail gains a new message link on the inbox page, links to senders' WoT profiles, and new translations

1469 (2015-07-19):

  • FIX two bugs introduced in build 1468. One caused very slow operation and high CPU usage with large files and physical security levels above None (i.e. Freenet-level disk encryption). The other prevented interactive usage (e.g. freesite browsing) while finishing large downloads or starting large uploads.

1468 (2015-07-11):

  • Replace DB4O

    • Existing unfinished downloads and uploads will be imported to a new format, which requires restarting them from the beginning.
    • Space for downloads is now all allocated at the start, so machines very low on disk space may run out, which causes downloads to temporarily fail until more space is available.
    • CHKs will change due to metadata bugfixes.
    • Some unofficial plugins will need to be updated because of API changes. Sone already works, as do all official plugins.
    • The queue format changes should make it extremely rare to lose the entire queue: the impact of corruption will almost always be localized.
    • Multi-container / site uploads can now be persistent, making it more practical to upload large sites.
    • Passworded physical security is now much stronger. (Full-disk encryption is still preferable.)

  • Improve Windows installer

    • The Windows installer now defaults to starting Freenet on login.
    • There is a new Windows tray app with some useful features that is included with new installations.

  • misc

    • The list of download keys moved from downloads/listFetchKeys.txt to downloads/listKeys.txt.
    • A list of upload keys is now available at uploads/listKeys.txt
    • Gantros' index is now in the default bookmarks. It uses the same software as Enzo's index, which is no longer updated.
    • The obsolete and deprecated XMLLibrary and XMLSpider plugins are no longer officially supported. They will still load for those who have them added, but are no longer shown on the plugin page.
    • In the interests of releasing this build more quickly, the new version of FlogHelper does not support exporting and importing backups from the web UI. The old backup code did not work with the new Freenet version after removing db4o. People can instead back up "plugins.floghelper.FlogHelper" files in the plugin-data directory. These can be dropped into the directory after unloading FlogHelper to restore a backup.
    • ThawIndexBrowser works again. Thanks saces!
    • Fred translations are updated.
    • Add two seed nodes, one sponsored by meshnet.pl - the Polish radio/meshnet darknet users group, and another run by ArneBab. Thanks!
    • Update existing seed node references.
