Unfortunatly WASTE 1.5 looks like a manadatory upgrade as it fixes a few security holes in WASTE .One major vunerability Waste was able to be crashed by a annoymous user and this has now been fixed in 1.5 and now older clients cannot connect to WASTE 1.5 .

From the change log for WASTE 1.5 Alpha 1
• Although the inner protocol is compatible to older clients, I have made them incompatible by forcing another sync sequence. Because older clients have security issues this step is really needed.

Also WASTE 2 will not be compatible anyway so best to upgrade now .

WASTE 1.5 offers alot of improvments also like better DNS Redirection ,Resume downloads and the new "Stealth mode" go look at the change log to see them all.

let me just make a brief and personal observation. the farther i get from justin frankel's client the less comfortable i become. i'm using v1.0 and will continue for the time being. while i certainly appreciate the work being put into the offshoot versions - deliberately orphaning frankel's work is overkill.

I can see where youre coming from, but wasnt it you who also said "Developers may find it useful for new projects and to test newer versions of Waste"?
It is a bit hard to test when the (newer) network isnt there :P

Now the exploits in WASTE are being documented it is only a matter of time before a hostile party or malicious user comprimises any WASTE clients older than 1.5 so you are in effect creating a insecure "secure" network and leaving others and yourself on your meshes open to DOS attacks and other vunerabilities .One of the reasons Justin released the code as GPL is so people would develop it . If he didnt want it developed he wouldnt of released the source code .There are alot of Justins code including Nullsoft projects that are closed source .
