Sorry if this is judged OT, but I believe Frost is a significant part of the
"freenet experience" (heh) for quite a lot of people, and therefore it not
really working is a serious problem.

"Bugfix: problem computing the first empty index for message uploads was fixed
(IMPORTANT)"

Specificially, Frost has been seriously affected recently by the combination of
a pathetically determined script spammer using rotating IDs and a nasty bug in
Frost's upload handling. The effect, other than wading through spam (unless you
mark everyone rational GOOD then ignore all CHECK messages but obviously this
sucks,) was that posting could take a long time. The latter is fixed, so now you
can theoretically post like before. However Frost still needs a proper web of
trust sort of system to handle spamming.
