[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7 build 1087

[Matthew Toseland]

Freenet 0.7 build 1087 is now available. This will be mandatory at 0:00 on 
Thursday, not because of any critical bugfix but because of a performance 
enhancement that we need network-wide. Please upgrade. The main changes in 
this build are:
- A significant reduction in per-hop latency found by our new developer, 
Robert Hailey. Should be around a 50% cut in per hop latency, but I don't 
expect any long term gain in throughput.
- Prevent a nasty memory/bandwidth denial of service attack: Don't let a node 
make requests faster than it accepts the data resulting from it.
- Slightly more accurate request bytes usage statistics, which should mean 
slightly more accurate load limiting.
- Don't keep old queued messages around (dump them after an explicit 
disconnect, an hour of being disconnected, etc).
- Clarifications in the first-time wizard.

Please let us know if you find any bugs, via the bug tracker, the mailing 
lists or Frost.

Thanks to:
