	Hello all.

	I have just released a new version of Frost (22-Nov-2004 dev). Do not 
expect significant changes from the previous one (actually the changed are 
pretty small). However, releasing this new version was necessary because a 
significant incompatibility with Freenet since version 5099 has been fixed.

These are the release notes:

This release contains two versions: one for Java 1.5 (the files whose names 
end
in -15) and the other one for Java 1.4 (the files whose names end in -14). The
features of both are the same, but the 1.5 version should have slight 
performance
improvements, as well as a slightly reduced memory usage.
	
To install:
	
- If you have Java 1.5: unzip the file called frost-22-Nov-2004-15.zip in the
   directory where you have Frost installed.
	
- If you have Java 1.4: unzip the file called frost-22-Nov-2004-14.zip in the
   directory where you have Frost installed.
	
In both cases all your settings, messages, etc... will be preserved but 
making a
backup of your Frost directory prior to updating it is recommended just in 
case
something goes wrong.

And this is the change log:

Changes since version 28-May-2004 dev:

Added:  a title to the "Enabled" column of the downloads table.
Added:  country flags to the language menu.
Added:  now the user can choose which columns the search, download and upload
         tables should show. That selection is made via a contextual menu that
         pops up when right clicking on the table header.
Added:  French translation vastly updated (thanks to RapHHfr).
Added:  Message upload failed dialog internationalized.
Added:  Option added to the preferences to disable the message upload failed
         dialog. If disabled, Frost will retry to send it without asking 
the user.
Added:  attachment split panes of the main frame internationalized.
Added:  several French forums to the hierarchy that comes by default.
Added:  option to the popup menu of the message body to copy the selected text
         to the clipboard.

Changed: splash screen logo replaced by a new one (thanks to Frédéric Scheer).
Changed: when you are sending an anonymous message, the @ character is no 
longer
          allowed as part of the from field.

Bugfix: when the text in the "Name" column of the uploads table is written in
         bold and it doesn't fit in the cell it isn't cropped correctly. Fixed
         now (it no longer uses HTML internally to display it in bold).
Bugfix: The message upload failed dialog works now. Some strings were missing
         from the language resource. (thanks to SSY)
Bugfix: From Freenet 5099 on, keywords may be longer than 64 characters. 
Thanks
         to mxbee for reporting it.
Bugfix: The HopsToLive parameter must be in hexadecimal. Thanks to mxbee.
Bugfix: With Java 1.5, the attachment split panes of both the main and the
         message frames were not working well.

	I hope you like it. Kind regards.
