0.7 has *not* been released yet, like the filename says it's still in alpha, but testers are very much needed. The above isn't the newest build anyway, this one is : http://downloads.freenetproject.org/alpha/freenet-cvs-snapshot.jar > What is the procedure for converting from 5106 to the new 0.7 build?

This means it needs its own directory and at the moment only has a primitive command line interface, because FCP and fproxy aren't implemented yet. (It's much faster than 0.5 on the current network, but the 0.7 test net is tiny.) It's straightforward to set up a 0.7 node in most cases, however you effectively have to be in #freenet-alphatest on IRC to help test it (because it's a darknet) and you must keep up to date with the frequently updated snapshot.
