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.

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>
