The Windows Installer for Freenet / Hyphanet 0.7.5 build 1499 has been re-released
Install Freenet / Hyphanet for Windows, for GNU/Linux, macOS and other *nixes, or for Android. See the download page for more information and other platforms (Apple Silicon needs library updates to work).
The Windows installer for 1499 had a regression that caused it to lack dependencies. The reason was a mistake in updating the Gradle build file of the installer so the dependencies were not properly read from the main project.
This only affects new installs: auto-update should cause no problems. Installing on GNU/Linux/macOS/*nix is unaffected.
The Windows installer has been re-released and the downloads are fixed.
There is a remaining regression in 1499 that can cause high CPU load on pure friend-to-friend nodes. It will soon be fixed in an emergency build 1500 release.
We’re sorry for inconvenience this causes.

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.
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!
