Hi everyone! It's been delayed by all my commitments and pushed back by all my distractions. But most of the wait has been because our objectives for this release were pretty tricky to implement! What's new in GNU.FREE 1.9? + Bug fixes + FreeInstall now parses XML config files + XML config now means we support multiple types of election system: the first being Borda and First Past the Post (this is the big one and it's been on the TODO for sooo long). All this means that we'll be working to including support for extra voting systems as time goes by. Also the XML infrastructure means we can do some interesting things elsewhere too.
FREE aims to provide a non-commercial private, secure, reliable and open electronic voting alternative to the commercial offerings. We have released GNU.FREE 1.8 which includes: + A protocol overhaul - we now use an HMAC-SHA1 system initialised with a client-server seed/key swap. We also use sequence numbers to increase its resistance to replay attacks. + There's been some enhancing of key objects to enable us to tidy up the comms code. + We have begun the process of enabling GNU.FREE to deal with all counting and voting systems. In this release we include the XML we will use in future to define what vote/count system a GNU.FREE vote will use. We do this to elicit feedback and thought on any issues the use of XML may raise - such as is it best to define how GNU.FREE handles the systems specified in an XML file through code or text files (i.e. more XML)? + Bugs have been fixed, especially a major one in the installer. Concurrency in the servers has also been improved.
Version 1.7 has been released offering many improvements and bug fixes. The two major features are communications-level end-to-end RSA/Blowfish encryption and the inclusion of the new PollManager application which allows postal, conventional and Internet votes to all be managed using the GNU.FREE database.
