3 | <a name="gnunet-0.11.4-release">2019-05-12: GNUnet 0.11.4 released</a> | ||
4 | </h3> | ||
5 | <p> | ||
6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.4. | ||
7 | </p> | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | This is a bugfix release for 0.11.3, mostly fixing a few | ||
10 | build issues. In | ||
11 | terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large | ||
12 | number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
13 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
14 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
15 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
16 | information. As a result, the 0.11.4 release is still only suitable | ||
17 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. | ||
18 | </p> | ||

28 | <p> | ||
29 | (gnunet-gtk and gnunet-fuse were not released again, as there were no | ||
30 | changes and the 0.11.0 versions are expected to continue to work fine | ||
31 | with gnunet-0.11.4.) | ||

37 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.4 (since 0.11.3)</h4> | ||
38 | <ul> | ||
39 | <li> | ||
40 | <tt>gnunet-arm -s </tt> no longer logs into the console by default and | ||
41 | instead into a logfile (in $GNUNET_HOME). | ||
42 | </li> | ||
43 | <li> | ||
44 | The reclaim subsystem is no longer experimental. | ||
45 | See also <a href="https://reclaim-identity.io">re:claimID</a>. | ||
46 | Further, the internal encryption scheme moved from ABE to GNS-style | ||
47 | encryption. | ||
48 | </li> | ||
49 | <li> | ||
50 | GNUnet now depends on a more recent version of libmicrohttpd. | ||
51 | </li> | ||
52 | <li> | ||
53 | The REST API now includes read-only access to the configuration. | ||
54 | </li> | ||
55 | <li> | ||
56 | All manpages are now in mdoc format. | ||
57 | </li> | ||
58 | <li> | ||
59 | <tt>gnunet-download-manager.scm</tt> removed. | ||
60 | </li> | ||
61 | </ul> | ||
62 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
63 | <ul> | ||
64 | <li> | ||
65 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
66 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
67 | performance and security. | ||
68 | </li> | ||
69 | <li> | ||
70 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
71 | negatively impact performance. Also CADET may unexpectedly deliver messages out-of-order. | ||
72 | </li> | ||
73 | <li> | ||
74 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
75 | usability and performance. | ||
76 | </li> | ||
77 | <li> | ||
78 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
79 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
80 | </li> | ||
81 | <li> | ||
82 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
83 | </li> | ||
84 | <li> | ||
85 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
86 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
87 | </li> | ||
88 | </ul> | ||
89 | <p> | ||
90 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker | ||
91 | at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists | ||
92 | about 190 more specific issues. | ||
