+  <h1>GNUnet 0.17.0 released</h1>
+<p>
+  We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.17.0.
+  <br/>
+  GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and
+  privacy-preserving distributed applications.
+  Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack.
+  Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to
+  include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the
+  creation of a GNU internet.
+</p>
+<p>
+  This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.15.x versions.
+  Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a
+  while) <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with
+  the 0.15.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers
+  will result in issues.  0.15.x peers will be able to communicate with Git
+  master or 0.17.x peers, but some services - in particular the DHT - will not be compatible.<br/>
+  In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still
+  <b>a number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease
+  of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
+  Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to
+  provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information.
+  As a result, the 0.17.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters
+  with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>.
+</p>
