+It looks like we're through with the worst of the Internet
+connection issues. 0.1.3 fixed a problem where your node's
+communications could go dead after a while. The network is
+running much more smoothly now with this version.
+
+If you've successfully generated a block, you've seen it has a
+maturation countdown before you can spend it. Once it matures,
+the Credit column will change from 0.00 to 50.00. For a block to
+be valid, it has to be broadcasted to the network and get into the
+block chain, which is why Generate does not run if you're not
+connected. If you generated a block without being connected, the
+network wouldn't know about it and would continue building the
+chain without it, leaving it behind, and the maturation countdown
+would change to "(not accepted)" when your node sees that it
+wasn't used. If you subtract 1 from the status column, that's how
+many blocks have been chained after yours.
