Freenet Stable build 5076 released

From: Toad Subject: Stable build 5076 Date: Wed, 17 Mar 2004 16:09:24 +0000 Freenet stable build 5076 is now available. The snapshots have been updated. You can get the build via the update.sh script on Linux, BSD, or OS/X, or use the freenet-webinstall.exe utility to update on Windows, or get the jar from http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-latest.jar . All stable branch users should upgrade. Major changes: * Make 5074 mandatory. Most nodes seem to have upgraded… This is necessary for the next item. * Send the minRequestInterval on the IdentifyPacketMessage, a message that is exchanged when a connection is opened. This will improve the accuracy of rate limiting. * Fix a serious bug in the new NGRoutingTable discard-sort order (i.e. the algorithm that decides which node to drop when we want to drop a node from the routing table). The bug would have caused new nodes that can’t be connected to to persist in the routing table forever. It was introduced in 5075.
