0.7.3-style database.");

hostlist server using libmicrohttpd");

in a directory");

filter to exclude known responses)");

(randomized starting point in iteration)");

+echo "</ul><ul><li>";
+W("Minor improvements:");

of dual-stacks where available)");

+LI("Improved FSUI suspend/resume IO performance");
+LI("Added options to <tt>gnunet-peer-info</tt> to determine identity of local 
peer");

add keywords to already shared file");

keyword (from O(n) to O(1) by adding extra index)");

bytes per 32k block)");

the local datastore");

showing up properly");

connections, resulting in faster routing)");
