3 <h1>GNUnet 0.14.0 released</h1>
4<p>
5 We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.14.0.
6<br>
7 This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.13.x versions.
8 Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with
9 the 0.13.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers
10 will result in issues. 0.13.x peers will be able to communicate with Git
11 master or 0.13.x peers, but some services will not be compatible.<br/>
12 In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still
13 <b>a large number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease
14 of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
15 Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to
16 provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information.
17 As a result, the 0.14.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters
18 with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>.

60<h4>Known Issues</h4>
61<ul>
62 <li>There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, performance and security.</li>
63 <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that negatively impact performance.</li>
64 <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact usability and performance.</li>
65 <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li>
66 <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li>
67 <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li>
68</ul>
