[Blocks-development] Blocks V0.17

[Blat F. <pet...@ho...>]

Well, the intermittent crash bug of V0.16.1 was pretty
nasty, so I decided that given that there were a couple
of requests for long filename support I would bump
everything up to V0.17.

So here is a preliminary list of whats new...

* Long filename support... upto 132 chars each
* You can now 'upload' to remote servers as well
  as your own.
* Routing chars are now allocated randomly, this
  should thwart most statistical analysis attacks.
* A few major bugs fixes... fixed the memory corruption,
  so hopefully we will be stable again, fixed the
  readvertisement logic, big files really wont trample
  small caches now (honest :-)

And best of all, its already been done. Im just doing
a bit of testing and tweaking and its ready to go. So,
it should be out this weekend unless anyone has a
'must have' request that can be implemented quickly.

I know that we havent gone very far down the path of
our long term goals, and that discussion on WoT etc
seems to have dried up a bit. I think this is due to
the time of year and the lack of available free time
for projects like this rather than a lack of interest.

PG.
