Hi all, I would like to get Freeloader into release 0.3 - since it has improved dramatically in quality and stability over the past few weeks and I think that those accustomed to a GUI interface are probably quite turned-off by the fact that only CLI clients are provided by default. This means that the makedist.sh should ensure that all nescessary class files are compiled, and both DOS and Bash scripts are provided to launch Freeloader.
There are one or two things which I think might be cool to try to get in to Freeloader before then though. Firstly, it still looks screwy on Linux using BlackDown's 1.2 JDK. The main problem is that on the "Advanced" dialog only the top of the text entered in the text field is actually visible (see Fkey:/jpg/screenshots/freeloader/01052000 to see what I am talking about). Secondly, while I know people are reluctant to encourage people not to run their own nodes, it would be cool in the short term if the node-list in the Advanced->Server List dialog could be tested for "ping-time" (probably by doing a handshake with them), and sorted accordingly. This would make things easier for those incapable of running a local node (we could add a note to that page that people really should run a local node).
