I agree with all that. The problem is that we have to concurrent
problems: 
1) some people complain that the project is not evolving, because
there are no new stable releases. So, we need to release more often.
The problem is that we are now very busy, and the last week-end was
the only possible release date, before a few weeks.
2) we have only a few developers (officially one, + some
contributors), and freezing the code means that the developer must
spend his time packaging instead of developing (just at the moment when
Fasttrack support becomes possible !).

Hum.... let's say, to upgrade to 2.4, do the following in your
mldonkey configuration directory before starting mldonkey:

cp downloads.ini downloads_expert.ini
cp downloads.ini donkey.ini
cp downloads.ini donkey_expert.ini

So that mldonkey will find all the interesting options in the files it
now uses.

Sorry, but I'm already too happy to have a successor, only one, to
risk losing him :) We did some mistakes with this release (I'm
responsible for the release, as I build the binaries). Anyway, now
that some users have already upgraded, it is too late to do
that... but we will be more careful for next release.
