7We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.0.
8<p>

10<p>
11This is a major release after about five years of development. In
12terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large
13number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use,
14but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
15Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to
16provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting
17information. As a result, the 0.11.0 release is still only suitable
18for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance.

39<h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.0</h4>
40
41 <ul>
42 <li>The Web site and manuals have undergone significant rework. You can find an
43 archive of the old Web site at <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/*/gnunet.org">archive.org</a>.</li>
44 <li>The code now builds again on macOS. GNUnet on macOS is <i>experimental</i>.
45 While it builds and seems to run fine, some tests are known to fail.</li>
46 <li>Build process now works properly with libidn2</li>
47 <li>Except for <tt>gnunet-qr</tt>, all Python code was migrated to Python 3.7.</li>
48 <li>Fixed security issues in secret sharing cryptography logic</li>
49 <li>Services running out of file descriptors on <tt>accept()</tt> no longer busy wait</li>
50 <li>Fixed crash in gnunet-gns2dns proxy</li>
51 <li>GNS responses are now padded to minimize information disclosure from the size</li>
52 <li>Fixed API issues and (rare) crash bugs in CADET</li>
53 <li>The experimental SecuShare code is not included in the release, you can
54 now find it in the <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-secushare.git/">gnunet-secushare</a>
55 Git repository.</li>
56 <li>The Ascension tool (separate download) now allows importing DNS zones into GNS via AXFR.</li>
57 <li>GNUnet now includes a decentralised identity attribute sharing service:
58 reclaimID. A ready-to-use client can be found in an
59 <a href="https://gitlab.com/reclaimid/client">external repo</a>.</li>
60 <li>The code now builds again on NetBSD. GNUnet on NetBSD is <i>experimental</i>.
61 While it builds and seems to run fine, full support requires more
62 changes in the core of GNUnet
63 It will soon be available via pkgsrc.
64 <li>Many things changed on the build system side. If you package
65 GNUnet for an operating system or otherwise package manager,
66 make sure that you read the README.</li>
67 </ul>
68 The above is just the short list, our bugtracker lists
69 <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?version_id=258">
70 over 100 individual issues</a> that were resolved since 0.11.0pre66.
71
72<h4>Known Issues</h4>
73 <ul>
74 <li>There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems
75 which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability,
76 performance and security.</li>
77 <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that
78 negatively impact performance. Also CADET may unexpectedly deliver messages out-of-order.</li>
79 <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact
80 usability and performance.</li>
81 <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create
82 unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li>
83 <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li>
84 <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to
85 the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li>
86 </ul>
87<p>
88In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker
89at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists
90about 150 more specific issues.
