Freenet 0.7.5 build 1372 is now available. Please upgrade, it will be mandatory 
May 11th, and makes 1370 mandatory immediately. Changes include:
- Significant further fixes to the RecentlyFailed code. This *should* improve 
performance of the mechanism itself, squashing more requests for over-popular 
keys and thus reducing the average time taken for failed requests for chat 
keys, and *may* also fix download stalling problems that have been reported.
- Small changes to load limiting. We will now use an estimate of how many 
requests we can run safely based on a target time between sending blocks given 
our limited bandwidth, as well as the usual output bandwidth liability limits. 
This should only cause rejections very rarely, because the limits are reduced a 
bit from 1369, which introduced it (but didn't use them for actual rejections).
- Minor improvements to the web interface, including a cleanup button for 
removing all finished downloads, and to the rabbit-hole theme.
- Clean up bogus newlines in noderefs. This is not 100% reliable, but is only 
needed when noderefs are exchanged as text e.g. over IRC; long term I expect 
most users will exchange them as files.
- Keep full noderefs for our friends, and fetch them if we don't have them. 
Make them available on the friends page.
- Minor fix for node to node file transfers, append .part to the file until 
it's finished.
- Translation updates to Dutch, German and Swedish, and some improvements to 
english strings.
- Better mechanism for changing cooldown parameters, will be used by chat 
plugins which poll lots of identities to poll some of them at different 
intervals.
- Config changes related to default directories. Backwards compatible, but not 
forwards - if you revert to 1371 or earlier you may need to edit your config 
file.

Please upgrade! Thanks.
