Hmmm, we should take more care to warn people when the current CVS code
goes out of sync with the most recent release (such as a news update and
an email to the announce list), and attempt to get a new release out
there ASAP which reflect the changes.

As a precaution I will temporarily remove links to current snapshots and
such like.

I acknowledge that sometimes non-backward compatible changes are
required, but we need a better strategy for making significant changes
of this type which doesn't stop everything from working!

I know that many people think that we shouldn't worry about the user
experience at this stage since we are still in development, however we
disregard our "public" at our peril, an elitist attitude would be very
dangerous.  If people don't use Freenet, and don't remain interested in
Freenet development, it won't matter a damn how well it works or how
clever it is.  I make no apology for pushing for the Freenet development
process to remain as open as possible, and for the software to be as
easy to try out as possible at all times.

Ian.
