Freenet 0.7.5 build 1384 is now available. You may have to upgrade manually as 1382 has partially broken auto-update. I did test it earlier on but apparently missed this. Normal updates on 1382 get a bogus error causing auto-update not to work until it restarts (it doesn't permanently disable it), and then after a restart it downloads the update again and breaks again.
Please use update.cmd or update.sh to update manually if necessary. However, 99% of the time, restarting Freenet will resolve it, because 1384 is (almost) immediately mandatory, and updating over mandatory does still work. Hence hopefully most users affected will reboot often enough for this to resolve itself. You can expect a significant but temporary performance loss from the mandatory update, as the network sorts itself out. Sorry folks. Changes in 1383 and 1384 are generally to do with fixing this, with code mostly in the client layer. See the detailed changelogs inserted into Freenet, or the git commits/tags. It also improves the browser warning page on the first-time wizard, and there is a new version of the wininstaller which works around a firefox bug which would delete all your tabs. Thanks. 1382 itself was a major correction for a problem in 1381. I wasn't clearly aware that 1382's problems are as serious until very recently. 1381 itself was released because of a serious but not critical bug... Major cascading screwup caused mainly by insufficient testing, sorry...
