Announce: Jungle Monkey 0.1.8

[David Helder <dhelder umich edu>]

Jungle Monkey 0.1.8 ("Igoo Two") is now available.  This release fixes
bugs with file transfers.  Version 0.1.7 ("Igoo", unannounced) has a new
file transfer protocol, contains vast GTK GUI improvements, and includes
the usual small bug fixes.

JM is available at http://www.junglemonkey.net

Source and DEB's available.  RPM's will be available as soon as
someone mails them to me.

Jungle Monkey (JM) is a distributed file sharing program.  You join
channels where people offer files for download.  You can offer your
own files and create your own channels as well.  Once you download a
file, others can connect to you to get that file.  You can also search
for files and chat.

0.1.8 ("Igoo Two" release)
=====
* Fixed bugs where file transfers timed out and files weren't saved
    properly.


0.1.7 ("Igoo" release)
=====
* File transfers now use new mirror-rendezvous protocol  (Part
    of "Jungle Monkey 2" plan)
* Vast GTK GUI improvements (preferences dialog, configuration file, 
    message boxes)
* Small bug fixes (chat leave messages now seen, ping warnings fixed,
    directories work, port configuration now works)
* Portability fixes (NetBSD, detects broken Linux poll)

PS:
 - There will be a paper on BTP, our endhost multicast protocol, up
     soon.
 - It should be easier to build from CVS now.
