<p>Freenet 0.7.5 build 1494 is now available.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>Install Freenet</strong> for <strong><a href="http://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/freenet/fred-releases/build01494/FreenetInstaller-1494.exe">Windows</a></strong>, for <strong><a href="http://ftp.lysator.liu.se/pub/freenet/fred-releases/build01494/new_installer_offline_1494.jar">GNU/Linux and other *nixes</a></strong>, or for <strong><a href="https://freenet-mobile.github.io/app/">Android</a></strong>. See the <a href="pages/download.html">download page</a> for more information and other platforms.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>This build improves six broad areas:</p>
<div style="float: right; width: 30%; max-width: 300px;"><img src="./theme/images/logo-large.png" width="100%" style="filter: invert(30%)" /></div>
<ul>
<li>streaming on demand,</li>
<li>configuration,</li>
<li>security,</li>
<li>windows installer and tray,</li>
<li>the debian package, and</li>
<li>tools.</li>
</ul>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
<h2 id="streaming-audio-and-video-on-demand">Streaming Audio and Video on Demand</h2>
<p>Streaming provides improved video and audio:</p>
<ul>
<li>Video sizes are more robust when the size changes between subsequent videos.</li>
<li>Audio tags no longer try to display the overlay.</li>
</ul>
<p>This finally enables convenient Samizdat Radio.</p>
<h2 id="configuration">Configuration</h2>
<p>To help modernize the configuration of existing nodes,
Freenet now shows a user alert once every Freenet update if the datastore is
below 10% of available space with a link to the store size wizard page
to make it easy to increase the store. Thanks to Trivuele!</p>
<p>Also the bandwidth settings now parse the bit suffix correctly
(lowercase b in kbps is bit, not byte).</p>
<h2 id="security">Security</h2>
<p>Freenet received improvements to security both for friend to friend
mode, for opennet, and to tools for Freesites.</p>
<p>Friend-to-Friend mode now randomizes pitch black defense times
and waits at least 12 hours between pitch black mitigations
to prevent timing attacks.</p>
<p>Opennet is hardened by disabling the write local to datastore
functionality when opennet is enabled; it can be useful on a
small darknet, but on opennet it makes it easier to find downloaders.
Thanks to Trivuele!</p>
<p>Also a FOAF mitigation was fixed. It wasn't operational before,
because it lacked a conversion to percent. Thanks to
freedom-of-depression!</p>
<p>The /imagecreator/ tool, among other changes, now ensures
that requested image sizes are sane — thanks to Oleh from Redwerk</p>
<p>Finally it’s now easier to build fred without network access. Thanks
to Trivuele!</p>
<h2 id="bugfixes">Bugfixes</h2>
<p>In addition to these improvements, bugs got fixed:</p>
<ul>
<li>fix build with modern Java: add opens jvmargs on java 17.</li>
<li>remove Frost on ChatForumsToadlet from non-updated translations
(removed 2019 from the original english).</li>
<li>fix parts of the German translation.</li>
<li>Do not store blocks in the cache, if they are eligible for the store
(should increase usable cache size). Thanks to Trivuele!</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="windows-installer-and-tray">Windows Installer and Tray</h2>
<p>The windows installer and tray application much more robust detection
of the installed Java — thanks to naejadu.</p>
<p>The windows installer and the tray application now detect Java on your
path, and the installer only prompts installing Java if there is none
yet. The installer also installs a clean adoptium Java 11, almost
halving the installer size.</p>
<p>And the tray toggles additional arguments depending on your Java
version to keep Freenet working when Java is updated to version 16 or
later.</p>
<h2 id="debian-package">Debian Package</h2>
<p>Thanks to DC*, who also ported Freenet <a href="https://freenet-mobile.github.io/app/">to Android</a>,
There is finally a Debian package available. It still needs testing.</p>
<p>If you run Debian or a distribution based on Debian, or can help get the package included in Debian, please heed the
<a href="https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg55247.html">call for beta-testers</a>!</p>
<pre><code>$ curl -s
https://packagecloud.io/install/repositories/desyncr/freenet/script.deb.sh
| sudo bash
$ apt install freenet
</code></pre>
<p>(maybe read the script before you directly execute it like this)</p>
<p>The debian package accompanies our existing <a href="https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/net-p2p/freenet">Gentoo-package</a> which spearheaded packaging completely from source, and the <a href="https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/freenet">Arch aur package</a>.</p>
<h2 id="tools-media-site-and-freenetbrowser">Tools: media-site and freenetbrowser</h2>
<p>Two new tools simplify publishing media in Freenet and using freenet
with stronger protections.</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://github.com/freenet/generate-media-site/">Generate Media Site</a> is a utility to create sites with streaming media on demand.</li>
<li><a href="https://github.com/freenet/browser/">freenetbrowser</a> auto-generates a separate browser-profile on GNU/Linux and can install a Freenet node with randomized IP and Port, preventing port detection (for example by unsafe local services).</li>
</ul>
<p>After installing <code>freenetbrowser</code> (see the README), you can visit the example page for generate media site with:</p>
<pre><code>freenetbrowser --install USK@rQnuHCVpf7BHcsZHBt911K3-iaELN1u1Vg0fzxDRq7k,I1vFYWONhGfECHr9XD-1lKxxstr64rF4dTykcMq9swY,AQACAAE/gms/11/
</code></pre>
<p>This provides a simple streaming setup and a handler for Freenet URIs. Your streaming site can look like this:</p>

<p>A big thank you to all contributors and reviewers

<h2 id="what-is-freenet">What is Freenet?</h2>
<p>Freenet is a peer-to-peer platform for<br />
censorship-resistant and privacy-respecting<br />
publishing and communication.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I worry about my child and the Internet all the time, even though
she's too young to have logged on yet. Here's what I worry about. I
worry that 10 or 15 years from now, she will come to me and say
'Daddy, where were you when they took freedom of the press away from
the Internet? --Mike Godwin, Electronic Frontier Foundation</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That Freenet can keep moving forward and help people worldwide to
exercise their basic rights and freedoms is the work of amazing
volunteers, both contributors and people running Freenet nodes. </p>
<p>Thank you for your contributions, and thank you for using Freenet!</p>
