2 | <A NAME="gnunet0.11.0">2019-02: GNUnet 0.11.0 released</A> | ||
3 | </h3> | ||
4 | |||
5 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.0. <br> | ||
6 | |||
7 | This is a major release after about five years of development. In | ||
8 | terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large | ||
9 | number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
10 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
11 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (~200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
12 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
13 | information. As a result, the 0.11.0 release is still only suitable | ||
14 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. | ||

42 | <li>Fixed API issues and (rare) crash bugs in CADET</li> | ||
43 | <li>The experimental SecuShare code is not included in the release, you can | ||
44 | now find it in the <a href="git://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-secushare/">gnunet-secushare</a> | ||
45 | Git repository.</li> | ||
46 | </ul> | ||
47 | The above is just the short list, our bugtracker lists | ||
48 | <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?version_id=258"> | ||
49 | over 50 individual issues</a> that were resolved since 0.11.0pre66. | ||

51 | |||
52 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
53 | <p> | ||
54 | <ul> | ||
55 | <li>There are known major design issues in TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE | ||
56 | which will need to be addressed for usability, performance | ||
57 | and security.</li> | ||
58 | <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
59 | impact performance.</li> | ||
60 | <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
61 | usability and performance.</li> | ||
62 | <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
63 | unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li> | ||
64 | <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li> | ||
65 | </ul> | ||
