3 | <a name="gnunet-0.11.6-release">2019-07-XX: GNUnet 0.11.6 released</a> | ||
4 | </h3> | ||
5 | <p> | ||
6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.6. | ||
7 | </p> | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | This is a bugfix release for 0.11.5, mostly fixing a few | ||
10 | minor bugs and improving performance, in particular for | ||
11 | identity management with a large number of egos. | ||
12 | In this release, we improved the webpage and updated our documentation. | ||
13 | |||
14 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large | ||
15 | number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
16 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
17 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
18 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
19 | information. As a result, the 0.11.6 release is still only suitable | ||
20 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. | ||
21 | </p> | ||

30 | </ul> | ||
31 | <p> | ||
32 | gnunet-gtk and gnunet-fuse were not released again, as there were no | ||
33 | changes and the 0.11.0 versions are expected to continue to work fine | ||
34 | with gnunet-0.11.6. | ||
35 | </p> | ||

40 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.6 (since 0.11.5)</h4> | ||
41 | <ul> | ||
42 | <li> | ||
43 | <tt>gnunet-identity</tt> can now print private keys. | ||
44 | </li> | ||
45 | <li> | ||
46 | The REST service can be configured to echo the HTTP Origin header value for CORS. | ||
47 | </li> | ||
48 | <li> | ||
49 | re:claimID tickets are now re-used whenever possible. | ||
50 | </li> | ||
51 | <li> | ||
52 | SUID binary detection mechanisms implemented to improve compatiblity with | ||
53 | some distributions. | ||
54 | </li> | ||
55 | <li> | ||
56 | Documentation, comments and code quality was improved. | ||
57 | </li> | ||
58 | </ul> | ||
59 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
60 | <ul> | ||
61 | <li> | ||
62 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
63 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
64 | performance and security. | ||
65 | </li> | ||
66 | <li> | ||
67 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
68 | negatively impact performance. Also CADET may unexpectedly deliver messages out-of-order. | ||
69 | </li> | ||
70 | <li> | ||
71 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
72 | usability and performance. | ||
73 | </li> | ||
74 | <li> | ||
75 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
76 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
77 | </li> | ||
78 | <li> | ||
79 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
80 | </li> | ||
81 | <li> | ||
82 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
83 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
84 | </li> | ||
85 | </ul> | ||
86 | <p> | ||
87 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker | ||
88 | at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists | ||
89 | about 190 more specific issues. | ||
