This attitute would even be conservative were we releasing 1.0, it is completely rediculous for a piece of beta software, particularly while we are currently recommending that people should be using 0.3 (which we are implicitly doing until we release 0.5). > > > Hyping freenet is a bad idea.

It does work well - right now. I have been personally testing it heavily for the past few days, as have others. If people are concerned that it won't be sufficiently tested, then they should be helping us test it, not shouting "PR Whore" from the peanut gallery. > > We will, it will be part of the 0.5 release. > We have been working on this for years.

No, the underlying problem is that our development release is much more stable than our current stable release. If someone doesn't draw a line in the sand, it will never be released. By saying it will be released on Wednesday, it will focus people's efforts.
