RE: [Blocks-development] V0.15 progress update

I say we just switch it. =) It's better to have a group do "real world"
testing anyway, so why not let the small community we are do so, and report
bugs?

Subject: [Blocks-development] V0.15 progress update


so far Ive done the following...

1) Fix timeouts and problems when uploading &
   downloading at the same time.

2) All whole now multiple uploads capability for
   bulk uploading.

3) Add content hash to adverts and header blocks,
   and display this in the serach window.

4) Increase the smartness of the 'bad route' logic
   so that search results are more accurate.

5) Change readvertisement logic so that it now
   readvertises most recent 1024 non-local ads.

6) Increase netcode efficiency (might reduce CPU,
   and increase throughput on unlimited connections).

The one outstanding thing to look at was the automatic
switching of routes on failed downloads. Im not sure
about this, on one hand it seems like a nice feature,
but on the other, it would be nice to investigate
downloading errors during the testing phase, so I may
leave this out for now.

Now, we need a plan on an upgrade strategy... I think
we're probably still small enough to simply switch
everything from V0.14 to V0.15 simulateneously, but do
we want to keep a V0.14 public server running until
we can verify that V0.15 is reasonably stable?

Any comments?
