Dear all, 

Today we are releasing an update to FRODO, now in version 2.7.1. This is the first version of FRODO that features a (simple) Graphical User Interface. We are eagerly welcoming feedback on this first GUI, and on FRODO in general, either by email or via the tools on our SourceForge webpage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/frodo2/ 

The full list of changes from the previous version is given below. 

Best regards, 

Thomas Léauté
