Hello everyone,

I’m pleased to announce that after several months of development and testing, 
the new Freenet installer for Mac is ready for use :)

The installer is now built in to my existing FreenetTray app for Mac that has 
been distributed with Freenet for the past 5+ years, and is intended to replace 
the izPack based java_installer for Mac users.

It fixes a variety of severe issues that Freenet users routinely encounter on 
Mac OS X, particularly new users installing for the first time, when they are 
most likely to be frustrated by problems and give up.

Some of the immediate improvements include:

- Everything needed to bootstrap a Freenet node on Mac is bundled, including a 
current Oracle Java 8 package
- Suitable for offline distribution via USB or CD
- Installing a Freenet node no longer requires Java to already be installed and 
working properly on the system, the installer will take care of it
- Apple’s Java 6 package is no longer needed for any reason (yay!)
