And haven't there already been at least two reasonably popular but incompatible versions before? I think 0.5 was still used for quite a while when 0.7 was around. They offered similar services and anonymity concepts though.
0.5 didn’t support a friend-to-friend structure, so the privacy protection possible with it was much lower than with 0.7 released in 2007. Since 2007 Freenet / Hyphanet stayed compatible with content from previous versions.
A summary of the changes since 2007 can be found in the presentation “Freenet / Hyphanet: the long game”:
