Freenet 0.7.5 build 1365 is now available. Please upgrade! The main focus of 
this build is on backend code used by Freetalk, WebOfTrust and other client 
software, particularly USK updating. We now use the DBR hints we've been 
inserting for a while to quickly find the latest edition of a USK, before 
probing for it by trying editions, and we try to not pass the latest edition 
through to the client until we're fairly sure it is the latest edition, 
avoiding a lot of unnecessary fetching (of CHKs linked from the SSKs) and 
parsing. Lots of related debugging.

Also, there are small changes to load management. When there is severe network 
congestion, Freenet should avoid accepting requests that it can't answer due to 
its connections being much slower than its bandwidth limit.

Various minor client layer fixes, some minor web interface improvements 
(including an id on the body tag on fproxy pages, as requested to help 
client-side stylesheets), warn that Freetalk is still in progress on the chat 
page, support HTML5 better, add Sone and Xor's flog to the bookmarks and remove 
Evan, improved translation infrastructure for plugins, set the default log 
rotation back to 1 hour for caution's sake, update the README slightly, new 
versions of Library (minor), FlogHelper, WebOfTrust and Freetalk, Swedish, 
Russian and German translation updates, and some minor improvements to the 
english text.

It is likely that there will be significant further changes related to 
Freetalk/WoT/USK subscriptions in the fairly near future, some of them 
network-level (finally implementing RecentlyFailed, a mechanism to reduce the 
load caused by polling and speed up frequent failing requests for the same 
key). Xor is also working on major optimisations for Freetalk so it doesn't use 
so much disk I/O and CPU and lose messages.

Thanks, and please let us know how it goes! Report any bugs you find on the 
mailing lists, Freetalk, FMS, IRC or the bug tracker, and let us know how 
performance works out - it *should* be a bit faster in Freetalk, and certainly 
should use less CPU.
