[freenet-support] Freenet 0.7 build 1076

[Matthew Toseland]

Freenet 0.7 build 1076 is now available. Please upgrade! (Hopefully your node 
will automatically upgrade for you). This build features many bugfixes and a 
number of larger changes, including:
- Fix several deadlocks, and a bug causing the node to effectively stop 
functioning with several hung inserts.
- Local requests and inserts are now treated almost exactly the same as remote 
requests and inserts. This should improve security and overall network 
performance.
- Beginnings of port forwarding detection. In the long term this should 
increase network efficiency (by being able to turn off aggressive 
handshaking), and enable parts of opennet and possibly some forms of darknet 
invites.
- Rekey the link encryption every hour or gigabyte, whichever comes first. So 
if an attacker seizes the node, he can only decrypt traffic on open 
connections less recent than 1 hour 5 minutes.
- More improvements to plugins, new plugin API for exposing plugin functions 
to FCP.
- Store the bookmarks list in a separate file.
- Lots of minor code refactoring and cleanups.
- Turn off probe requests for now. We may add new probe requests soon, but 
they will be simpler (threaded).

In other news, the windows installer now has a proper uninstall script, the 
offline installer works again, and various other fixes. And Jack O'Lantern 
has taken over maintaining 0.5.
