Freenet 0.5.2.1 is now available. It fixes several bugs, including a
serious exploitable vulnerability in the web interface which could have
allowed a malicious freesite operator to find the IP addresses of users
visiting his site. Everyone running Freenet should upgrade. Safe
(stable) versions of Freenet have build numbers above 5015. The build
number is displayed on the Web Interface page at http://127.0.0.1:8888/

To upgrade on unix/linux, run the update.sh script; to upgrade on
Windows, rerun freenet-webinstall.exe. Or fetch the jar from
http://freenetproject.org/snapshots/freenet-0.5.2.1.jar
(md5sum 26c6a49b91c62e97c7dc7cf858cd8f83)
and substitute it for your existing freenet.jar.
