For magic consists in this, the true naming of a thing.
So Kurremkarmerruk had said to them, once their first
night in the Tower; he never repeated it, but Ged did not
forget his words. "Many a mage of great power," he had
said, "has spent his whole life to find out the name of
one single thing--one single lost or hidden name."
-- Ursula K. Le Guin, _A Wizard of Earthsea_
At long last, Mixminion version 0.0.7 is now available. This release fixes
many bugs and adds a few features since 0.0.6. (See the release notes for
more information.)
This release is exactly the same as 0.0.7rc2, except for the version
number. If you are already running 0.0.7rc2, you don't need to upgrade.
Everybody else should definitely upgrade, especially if you are running a
server, and very especially if you are running a server with Mixminion
0.0.5 or 0.0.4.
