Hi all,

I would like to get Freeloader into release 0.3 - since it has improved
dramatically in quality and stability over the past few weeks and I
think that those accustomed to a GUI interface are probably quite
turned-off by the fact that only CLI clients are provided by default. 
This means that the makedist.sh 
should ensure that all nescessary class files are compiled, and both DOS
and Bash scripts are provided to launch Freeloader.

There are one or two things which I think might be cool to try to get in
to Freeloader before then though.

Firstly, it still looks screwy on Linux using BlackDown's 1.2 JDK.  The
main problem is that on the "Advanced" dialog only the top of the text
entered in the text field is actually visible (see
Fkey:/jpg/screenshots/freeloader/01052000 to see what I am talking
about).

Secondly, while I know people are reluctant to encourage people not to
run their own nodes, it would be cool in the short term if the node-list
in the Advanced->Server List dialog could be tested for "ping-time"
(probably by doing a handshake with them), and sorted accordingly.  This
would make things easier for those incapable of running a local node (we
could add a note to that page that people really should run a local
node).

Ian.
