This release fixes various bugs, including inconsistencies with updateable 
SBlocks, improvements in the bandwidth allocation code (higher utilization 
with smaller spikes), fewer database accesses (size of bloomfilter was 
corrected), a routing bug causing very old queries to be forwarded (saves 
bandwidth) and a rare crash due to an integer overflow.

Furthermore, indexed content is no longer overwritten by migrated content 
(saves space) and gnunet-gtk can now list gnunet-directories that have been 
stored locally (directory import).

You must run gnunet-check -ra to migrate from 0.6.1a (or earlier) to 0.6.1b. 
Running gnunet-check -ra will fix the bloomfilter size, recover the indexed 
content and possibly fix other problems.

As usual, the code is available at

http://www.ovmj.org/GNUnet/download.php3

and on all GNU mirrors (once they synchronize). Note that RPMs are no longer 
provided (is someone is building RPMs and willing to share and support them, 
please let me know).
