There's a new version of FileZilla available: version 3.0.8.1. If you don't have automatic notifications turned on, Help -> Check for updates should get you squared away.
As with previous minor upgrades, the updating process is quick and smooth. All personal settings are preserved, even if you choose the recommended option to uninstall the previous version as part of the installation process. (That's what I did.) If you're upgrading from version 2.x, as I did a while ago, you'll have to re-enter things like your ftp URL(s), username(s), and password(s).
Don't know from FileZilla? Short version: It's an FTP client; i.e., a program that resides on your home computer that you use to upload files to a website. You don't need such a program nearly as much anymore, since blogs, photo-sharing sites, and social networking sites all provide built-in interfaces for uploading, but if you run your own old-school website, you might like it. I do. See filezilla-project.org for more info. And yes, it's free and open source.
