4 | </h3> | ||
5 | |||
6 | <p> | ||
7 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.0. | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | |||
10 | <p> | ||
11 | This is a major release after about five years of development. In | ||
12 | terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large | ||
13 | number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
14 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
15 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
16 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
17 | information. As a result, the 0.11.0 release is still only suitable | ||
18 | for 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> | ||
88 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker | ||
89 | at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists | ||
90 | about 150 more specific issues. | ||
