+title:  Freenet / Hyphanet build 1499: privacy, networking, css, UX, cleanups
+date:   2024-12-28
+categories: release
+---
+Freenet / Hyphanet 0.7.5 build 1499 is now available.
+
+> **Install Freenet / Hyphanet** for **[Windows][windows-installer]**, for **[GNU/Linux, macOS and other *nixes][linux-installer]**, or for **[Android][android-package]**. See the [download page][download page] for more information and other platforms (Apple Silicon needs library updates to work).
+
+This release adds cleanups and optimizations on the way to Freenet /
+Hyphanet 0.8. It improves privacy with DNS requests, optimizes the
+networking and data transfer core and provides many improvements for
+website authors and user experience.
+
+There are five larger areas of improvements:
+
+<div style="float: right; width: 30%; max-width: 300px;"><img src="./theme/images/logo-large.png" width="100%" style="filter: invert(30%)"  /></div>
+
+- improved privacy protection
+- optimized networking layer
+- support for website authors
+- better user experience
+- clean ups and code purges
+
+<div style="clear: both"></div>
+
+
+## Privacy
+
+The privacy improvements are reduced pings and DNS lookups. These make
+it less likely that a node gets detected by pings it sends for other
+nodes that use DNS addresses to have permanent addresses. Also thanks
+to Torusrxxx SSL support is updated and when setting up a node for
+access via SSL, unencrypted HTTP links now get upgraded to secured
+HTTPS automatically.
+
+## Networking
+
+The networking layer got a fix for very fast nodes. On these the bulk
+queue could be starved when realtime requests were received faster
+than they could be completed. Also bertm fixed bulk backoff getting
+ignored.
+
+Juiceman removed unnecessary boxing and unboxing to reduce CPU load
+and Torusrxxx improved IPv6 handling.
+
+## Website
+
+Torusrxxx also added partial webp support to the content sanitation
+(filters), so you can now use webp images on freesites and depending
+on the study reduce the storage by around 30%. Minimizing storage is
+more critical on Hyphanet compared to the clearnet, so webp can
+improve performance for all sites. Animation and lossless mode are not
+supported yet.
+
+In addition to webp, Torusrxxx also added support for more CSS
+keywords: border-{top,bottom}-{left,right}-radius, color-scheme,
+dominant-baseline, margin-block, margin-block-end, margin-block-start,
+margin-bottom, margin-inline, margin-inline-end, margin-inline-start,
+margin-right, math-style, padding-block, padding-block-end,
+padding-block-start, padding-inline, padding-inline-end,
+padding-inline-start, padding-right, padding-right, padding-top,
+padding-top, scroll-behavior, scroll-snap-align, scroll-snap-stop,
+scroll-snap-type, text-combine-upright, text-decoration-thickness,
+text-orientation, text-underline-offset.
+
+And font settings: monospace, system-ui, ui-serif, ui-sans-serif,
+ui-monospace, ui-rounded, emoji, math, fangsong. Color keywords are
+now checked case insensitively.
+
+Also add more CSS selectors: default, disabled, empty, enabled,
+focus-visible, indeterminate, in-range, invalid, only-child,
+only-of-type, optional, out-of-range, placeholder-shown, read-only,
+read-write, required, root. The combination of `:root` and
+color-scheme enables settings for dark-mode. The MIME types
+image/avif, heic, and heif are now known (but have no validation). Ban
+link as well as visited (these can cause requests depending on
+interaction), replace with `any-link`. The HTML elements bdi,
+figcaption, figure, main, mark, rp, rt, ruby are added.
+
+And the `:checked` selector is now supported, so freesites can have
+some CSS-based interactivity.
+
+There’s one loss: Chrome removed Theora support in 2024 and Firefox
+followed suit in version 130 (which [broke brasilian banking OTPs](https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1930548) ).
+Firefox ESR (128) will still get support until may 27th 2025. Until
+then we need sanitation for modern video formats like vp8 or vp9 and
+webm to keep our video on demand (streaming) working.
+
+## User experience
+
+There are two improvements of the interface itself: Qupo1 updated the
+Japanese localization and bertm polished the bookmark editor and
+directory listing in the Winterfacey theme.
+
+And thanks to Bombe the Freemail plugin now has a settings page for
+the SMTP and IMAP address and port to use.
+
+The defunct new load management statistics are now gone — thanks to
+Torusrxxx. These were just distracting.
+
+When you change the auto-updater key, updates are now checked
+instantly, not only after update (for example to get updates via a
+testing key for checking an update before release).
+
+And a bug was fixed that could lead to plugins being killed early
+during shutdown.
+
+## Cleanups
+
+Thanks to qupo1, Christophe, and Bombe, our gradle setup is more up to
+date and cleaner.
+
+And thanks to Bombe, Bertm, Venfernand, and Juiceman we purged a lot
+of outdated code that is no longer needed on modern JVMs (the code
+base once had to work with Java 1) or replaced it with more recent
+paradigms. Those make it quite a bit more enjoyable to work with the
+affected parts of the code.
+
+Finally qupo1 fixed links and code badges in our readme and Bertm made
+sure that our IPv6 preference setting keeps working in Java 24 and
+later.

+To get into development right-away, have a look at one of the [Freenet / Hyphanet Projects](https://github.com/hyphanet/wiki/wiki/Projects) or just get [fred](https://github.com/hyphanet/fred) and fix something that annoys you.
+
+And to take on something that makes a big difference, have a look at the [high-impact tasks](https://github.com/hyphanet/wiki/wiki/High-Impact-tasks).
+
+In addition to coding, spreading Hyphanet, joining the community, writing a decentralized website, and other ways to contribute within Hyphanet, you can join the awesome team of translators [at transifex][transifex-project]. They are the reason why we’re able to support several different languages, the often unseen heroes who make our work accessible to those who need it the most.

+
+## What is Freenet / Hyphanet?
+
+Hyphanet is the original Freenet,  
+a peer-to-peer platform for  
+censorship-resistant and privacy-respecting  
+publishing and communication.
+
+> 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
+
+_What about the name „Hyphanet“? See [Freenet renamed to Hyphanet][freenet-hyphanet]._
+
+
+That Hyphanet 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 Hyphanet nodes.
+
+Thank you for your contributions, and thank you for using Freenet / Hyphanet!
