I would like to announce new tarballs and complete documentation for 
FCPTools and FCPLib, the C library used internally by FCPTools.

Ironically this is just after Greg's announcement for FT; It's taken me some 
time to get the code right, and create the updated, reformatted 
documentation both for the fcptools and fcplib.

To download the latest source tarball:
- -> http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/fcptools-unstable.tgz

To download the latest Win32 binaries (MSVC 6):
- -> http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/fcptools-unstable-bin.tgz

For the updated documentation on FCPTools:
- -> http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=fcptools

For the *NEW* documentation on FCPLib:
- -> http://freenetproject.org/index.php?page=FCPlib

/*******************************************************************/
Some major improvements have been made to the tools, namely:

*) All memory leaks have been found and fixed (using dmalloc).
*) Win32 specific file-handling problems have all been addressed.
*) Source code has been successfully compiled on Win32, Linux, BSD, Solaris 
and OS X.
*) A new utility 'fcpx' has been added to serve as a general-purpose node 
utility.
*) Get and Put code has been factored into separate routines that are 
re-used throughout FCPLib.
*) The FCPLib API has been settled on and will remain 95% the same for the 
upcoming 0.9 & 1.0 release.

Some limitations:
*) Splitfile support only for Insert (ClientPut only).
*) Metadata support incomplete.
*) fcpget can only handle 1 metadata chunk (needs to be tweaked to accept 
more than one on ClientGet).

Perhaps some other things are missing as well.  However since the memory 
leaks are gone the programs are running more predictable than ever (this 
isn't to say it was *easy* closing up all those leaks, but it's done).

If something doesn't work as advertised please let me know via email.  It 
should compile and run "right out of the box", so anything less than this 
is an issue.  In the near future I'll announce a "bugfix tarball".

Happy client writing :)
