Freenet 0.8
Freenet 0.8 is the version after Freenet 0.7. Some proposed features:
-
PremixRouting is an essential security feature, similar to onion routing, which is a key requirement for 1.0.
-
PassiveRequests would be very helpful to messaging clients, for example enabling outbox polling (the basis of much better anti-spam measures), and would be a major step towards high latency operation
-
PublishSubscribeStreams might enable live streaming (albeit with some latency), and other interesting applications
-
OneToOneStreams would enable centralised servers hidden by freenet like tor hidden sites (they would be slow, and somewhat vulnerable, so a last resort, but useful for many applications)
-
SwappingImprovements: it may be possible to significantly improve the performance of the swapping algorithm. This will be essential for large networks. Also a good deal of work needs to be done on improving the security of the swapping algorithm.
Future features:
-
Transport plugins and
better stego
-
Freenet integration to operating systems
