ZeroBundle is a convenient package that makes ZeroNet portable. Since all required libraries are packed into the bundle, packaging gets so complicated that it is super easy to fail to keep all dependencies up-to-date.
This repository keeps track of ZeroNet's use of third-party libraries. It lists as thoroughly as possible the third-party source code and binaries required to run ZeroBundle and ZeroNet.
The current listing is not yet complete.
Apr 7, 2017. A majority of outdated libraries are being replaced with up-to-date libraries. In addition, the ZeroNet developer plans to remove the unmaintained BitcoinEEC library from the source code. Users and packagers should update ZeroNet.
Apr 8, 2017. ZeroNet on Windows now uses OpenDEC compiled OpenSSL binaries. The old PySocks library is used in ZeroNet source code due to a monkey patching issue. Help us investigate it.
Apr 25, 2017. PyElliptic has been abandoned. Developers, please consider using another wrapper or crypto library, such as pyOpenSSL, cryptography, PyNaCl or pySodium. Here is a crypto library choice discussion among Ethereum devlopers: ethereum/pydevp2p#58
