To use it, you must download +the Freenet software, available for Windows, Mac, Linux and other operating systems. +Your computer will then form part of a global, decentralized P2P network, and you +will be able to publish and consume information anonymously, either through your +web browser, or through a variety of third party applications, such as Frost (see +<a href="http://jtcfrost.sf.net/";>http://jtcfrost.sf.net/</a>).</p> +<p>Since the first alpha there have been vast numbers of changes, in particular +significant improvements in user friendliness. For example, it is no-longer +necessary to find other people to connect to, Freenet can find other people for you. +However, you can still connect to your friends for maximum security. It is also a +good deal faster, and many bugs have been fixed.</p> +<p>There have been many many other changes, and we will release a feature complete +beta followed by 0.7.0 itself in the coming months (we hope to have regular point +releases after that). But we thought it would be best to get some wider testing at +this point. There is more to do before 0.7.0, and one or two features which need to +be completed before that.</p> +<p>Freenet 0.7a2 can be downloaded from +<a href="http://freenetproject.org/download.html";>here</a>.</p> +<p>This release would not have been possible without the release of numerous +volunteers, and Matthew Toseland, Freenet's full time developer. Matthew's work is +funded through donations via our website (as well as a few larger sponsors from time +to time), we ask that anyone who can help us to ensure Matthew's continued +employment by visiting our donations page and making a contribution at +<a href="/donate.html">the donation page</a>.</p> <p><b>15th May, 2007 - John Pozadzides donates $10,000 to Freenet Project</b></p> <p> John Pozadzides, founder of <a href="http://HTMLHelp.com";>HTMLHelp.com</a> and former Vice President of Sales for <a href="http://savvis.net";>SAVVIS Communications</a>, has donated $10,000 to the Freenet Project to fund ongoing
