Freenet 0.7 build 1060 is now available. Please upgrade to 1060, then, if you 
need it (most people do), get the new version of the UPnP plugin by unloading 
it and restarting if necessary and then loading UPnP# in the plugins box. 
This will automatically download it from our servers (so if you're really 
paranoid, you can't do it this way).

1060 fixes lots of bugs in the node related to plugins, for example the above 
doesn't work in 1059, and there are various bugs affecting the UPnP and JSTUN 
plugins. Two other reasons for the release of 1060 are that I accidentally 
deployed a trunk build as 1059, and that I asked people to reload the UPnP 
plugin in 1059, first by asking them to load UPnP* (which works, but is bad 
because it reloads it on every startup), and then by asking them to load 
UPnP# (which doesn't work in 1059). I'm sorry for the rapid fire releases in 
recent days, next week hopefully we will be back to the normal rhythm of at 
most 2 a week.

Anyway, the purpose of the UPnP plugin, around which the last few releases 
revolve, is to automatically forward your ports - both darknet and opennet - 
across your router. There are a few other bugfixes in 1059 and 1060, but none 
of them are urgent; you don't need to update immediately if you are not 
behind a router (meaning a NAT/PAT/etc - 99% of cable/DSL modems with an 
ethernet connection nowadays).
