Freenet 0.7.5 build 1462 released

Freenet 0.7.5 build 1462 is now available.

There is a new Windows installer; it is signed. (Without breaking
internal integrity checks like the last release.) It can run from and
install to paths with non-English characters. Thanks romnGit! There are
currently translations for English, French, and Spanish. If you'd like
to contribute a translation for your language [0] please send it to us.
Options for contacting us include Sone, GitHub, IRC, FMS, and the
mailing list [1].

There are performance problems with some types of file downloads -
specifically bulk downloads for CHKs. We think this might be due to
unofficial performance patches negatively impacting performance for
everyone not using them. If you are running these patches we ask that
you not run them so that bulk CHK performance can be restored
network-wide. In August 2011 build 1397 enabled New Load Management,
which was intended to avoid these types of weaknesses, but it introduced
performance problems at scale and was disabled. In the long term we hope
to fix these problems and redeploy NLM, but for right now we ask that
people not use these patches.

In this release:

 * Add an opennet seed node. Thanks Juiceman!
 * Add Korean Windows tray application translation. Thanks ilbe123!
 * Fix potential security problems with malicious UPnP devices. Thanks
   to waldheinz for the report.
 * Select options by default on the "Add a Friend" page.
 * Omit empty plugin groups on the plugin page.
 * Avoid leaking node location in link length probe.
 * Base stats page average distance on actual location instead of 0.0.

There is a new Windows tray application in development. It is planned to
replace the current tray and launcher for new installations. Its features:

 * Hide the tray icon while Freenet continues running.
 * Change startup preferences.
 * Change which browser it launches.
 * Hopefully will be false-positived less by antiviruses that are overly
   suspicious of scripting languages.
 * Be signed.

If you want to give feedback on the tray application it is here. [2]

Thank you for using Freenet!
