Re: Freenet 0.7.5 build 1384 and apology - please upgrade manually if necessary

> 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.

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.

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.

Hi,
I'm on iMac-intel.
when I looked at freenet around an hour ago, it had no connection 
(usually its betwen 14 and 16) and it said that the node was too old 
(1382) but I new this problem since you mentionned it, so I tried to get 
the newest version (1384) with "freenet.jnlp" it went OK, but of course, 
on starting this new version, none of the data was preserved 
(particulary a smal file (only 60 MB)  that is very slowly downloading 
since few monthes and that I really want to get. I tried to carefully 
copy some files and folder containing data from the old to the new 
version, and also the temporary folder persistant temporarybut after an 
hour or so, it still appeared empty.
So, I tried another way, and I only mention this here since it may help 
some.

I did first shut the newer version, and started the old one, but as soon 
that it was running, I replaced from the folder, the old file (1382) 
"update.sh" by the new one (in case some command on the old one would be 
the cause of the bug), and entered in terminal the command :
<./update.sh start>
and it immediately started to update. After a while it said it had to 
shut and restart, and so did it. And now, it seem to run perfectly, the 
connexions being 15/16.

One thingthoughthat I remarked, is that earlier, when running, I could 
see that "java.freenet.node.NodeStarter" was what went out on the net, 
but since  this version, it has changed, and the part getting out seems 
to be "Mac OS Kernel" but I suppose that you are aware of this.
