Freenet 0.5 Released

Posted by timothy on from the makes-node-difference dept.

An anonymous reader submits "After over a year in the making, Freenet 0.5 stable has been released. This new version is far superior to previous versions of Freenet." The announcement specifically thanks Matthew Toseland, "without whom this release would still be vaporware," noting "On the 11th of November, Matthew will no longer be able to work full-time unless more people donate, so please give whatever you can spare at our Donations page."

    The Freenet gateway page (or "web interface") has three Freenet URLs: The Freedom Engine, and a couple others. (Currently "Freenet Forever" and "Cruft". I'm glad Cruft made it, finally -- the author deserves it.)



    The Freedom Engine (TFE) is published by (or claims to be published by) the same person who did "Content of Evil" in the older days. It's essentially Freenet's version of Yahoo! (the old one, before they added a bunch of services) -- a portal to other sites within Freenet. Go there. Be amazed by the variety, both good and bad.
