Freenet 0.7.5 build 1318 is now available. Please upgrade!

Build 1317 fixed a critical bug in the new packet format code.

Build 1318 introduces a new packet format, which is the same as the new one in 
1314 and fixed in 1317, except that it has a longer HMAC. This is necessary for 
security. 1318 advertises the old packet format and the most recent one, but 
*not* the packet format from 1314-1317. Hence old nodes will tend to connect to 
1318 nodes using the old protocols, while new nodes will connect using the 
newest format with the correct length HMAC. So the intention is that nodes 
between 1314 and 1316 should be able to connect reliably to 1318 nodes using 
the old packet format, and thus be able to download the update to 1317.

I have not yet inserted the update to 1318 into the over-freenet auto-update. I 
will do so on Monday if all is well.

Thanks, and sorry for the chaos caused by the recent packet format merge 
problems.

Please let us know about any further problems!
