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”:
