If you just installed Freenet PLEASE increase the size of the datastore!!! Try to make it at least several gigabytes. The more people do this, the better the Freenet/Frost experience will become!

Frost and Freenet are works in progress. Some days they will work better, other days worse. Update your snapshot often.

At least Java 1.5 is required to run Frost. I recommend to use Java 1.6 because this version provides a better memory management.

Release notes:

Frost version 04-Mar-2008 released!


This release contains a critical security fix for version 29-Feb-2008! Update!


Frost runs on Java 1.5 or higher. I recommend to use Java 1.6 because this version
provides a better memory management.
The Frost internet homepage is http://jtcfrost.sf.net , you can download the latest
release there and donate to the Frost project to help us to continue the development.


NOTE: An update from any Frost version before 11-Dec-2007 is NOT possible!

NOTE: Several Frost boards on Freenet 0.7 are currently under a DoS (denial of service)
      attack. This new Frost version is able to handle this and will not stuck forever
      updating one board. Boards under DoS are marked in red color when DoS is detected.
      Most likely you cannot post messages to the attacked (red) boards.
      A java port of the 'fms' system is work in progress.

Update from Frost 11-Dec-2007 (or any later version):
---------------------------------------------------

Extract the downloaded zip file into the directory where you have Frost installed.

NOTE: All your settings, messages, etc... will be preserved, but making a backup of your Frost
      directory prior to updating is strongly recommended just in case something goes wrong.

Start Frost.
