+    <a name="gnunet-0.11.5-release">2019-06-05: GNUnet 0.11.5 released</a>
+  </h3>
+  <p>
+    We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.5.
+  </p>
+  <p>
+    This is a bugfix release for 0.11.4, mostly fixing a few
+    minor bugs and improving performance, in particular for
+    identity management with a large number of egos.  In
+    terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large
+    number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use,
+    but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
+    Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to
+    provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting
+    information.  As a result, the 0.11.5 release is still only suitable
+    for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance.
+  </p>

+  <p>
+    gnunet-gtk saw some minor changes to adopt it to API changes in the main code
+    related to the identity improvements.
+    gnunet-fuse was not released again, as there were no
+    changes and the 0.11.0 version is expected to continue to work fine
+    with gnunet-0.11.5.

+  <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.5 (since 0.11.3)</h4>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      <tt>gnunet-identity</tt> is much faster when creating or deleting
+      egos given a large number of existing egos.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      GNS now supports CAA records.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Documentation, comments and code quality was improved.
+    </li>
+  </ul>
+  <h4>Known Issues</h4>
+  <ul>
+    <li>
+      There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems
+      which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability,
+      performance and security.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that
+      negatively impact performance. Also CADET may unexpectedly deliver messages out-of-order.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact
+      usability and performance.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create
+      unnecessary attack surface for availability.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      The RPS subsystem remains experimental.
+    </li>
+    <li>
+      Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to
+      the low-level TRANSPORT issues.
+    </li>
+  </ul>

+    at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists
+    about 190 more specific issues.

+  <h4>Thanks</h4>

+    This release was the work of many people. The following people
+    contributed code and were thus easily identified:
+    Christian Grothoff, Florian Dold, Marcello Stanisci, ng0, Martin Schanzenbach and Bernd Fix.
