4 | </h3> | ||
5 | <p> | ||
6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.8. | ||
7 | </p> | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | This is a bugfix release for 0.11.7, fixing a lot of | ||
10 | minor bugs, improving stability and code quality. Further, win32 support | ||
11 | was removed for reasons you may read below. | ||
12 | In this release, we again improved the webpage in general and updated our | ||
13 | documentation. | ||
14 | |||
15 | <i>As always:</i> | ||
16 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still <b>a large | ||
17 | number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
18 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
19 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
20 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
21 | information. As a result, the 0.11.8 release is still <b>only suitable | ||
22 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||
23 | </p> | ||

32 | </ul> | ||
33 | <p> | ||
34 | gnunet-fuse and gnunet-gtk were not released again, as there were no | ||
35 | changes and the 0.11.0/0.11.7 versions are expected to continue to work fine | ||
36 | with gnunet-0.11.8. | ||

43 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.8 (since 0.11.7)</h4> | ||
44 | <ul> | ||
45 | <li> | ||
46 | <tt>PQ</tt>: Fixed build with postgresql plugin. (Regression introduces | ||
47 | as part of #5733) | ||
48 | </li> | ||
49 | <li> | ||
50 | Documentation, comments and code quality was improved. | ||
51 | </li> | ||
52 | </ul> | ||
53 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
54 | <ul> | ||
55 | <li> | ||
56 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
57 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
58 | performance and security. | ||
59 | </li> | ||
60 | <li> | ||
61 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
62 | negatively impact performance. | ||
63 | </li> | ||
64 | <li> | ||
65 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
66 | usability and performance. | ||
67 | </li> | ||
68 | <li> | ||
69 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
70 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
71 | </li> | ||
72 | <li> | ||
73 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
74 | </li> | ||
75 | <li> | ||
76 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
77 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
78 | </li> | ||
79 | </ul> | ||
80 | <p> | ||
81 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker | ||
82 | at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists | ||
83 | about 190 more specific issues. | ||
