| 3 | <a name="gnunet-0.11.5-release">2019-06-05: GNUnet 0.11.5 released</a> | ||
| 4 | </h3> | ||
| 5 | <p> | ||
| 6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.5. | ||
| 7 | </p> | ||
| 8 | <p> | ||
| 9 | This is a bugfix release for 0.11.4, mostly fixing a few | ||
| 10 | minor bugs and improving performance, in particular for | ||
| 11 | identity management with a large number of egos. | ||
| 12 | In the wake of this release, we also launched the | ||
| 13 | <a href="https://rest.gnunet.org">REST API documentation</a>. | ||
| 14 | In | ||
| 15 | terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large | ||
| 16 | number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
| 17 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
| 18 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
| 19 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
| 20 | information. As a result, the 0.11.5 release is still only suitable | ||
| 21 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. | ||
| 22 | </p> | ||

| 31 | </ul> | ||
| 32 | <p> | ||
| 33 | gnunet-gtk saw some minor changes to adopt it to API changes in the main code | ||
| 34 | related to the identity improvements. | ||
| 35 | gnunet-fuse was not released again, as there were no | ||
| 36 | changes and the 0.11.0 version is expected to continue to work fine | ||
| 37 | with gnunet-0.11.5. | ||

| 43 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.5 (since 0.11.4)</h4> | ||
| 44 | <ul> | ||
| 45 | <li> | ||
| 46 | <tt>gnunet-identity</tt> is much faster when creating or deleting | ||
| 47 | egos given a large number of existing egos. | ||
| 48 | </li> | ||
| 49 | <li> | ||
| 50 | GNS now supports CAA records. | ||
| 51 | </li> | ||
| 52 | <li> | ||
| 53 | Documentation, comments and code quality was improved. | ||
| 54 | </li> | ||
| 55 | </ul> | ||
| 56 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
| 57 | <ul> | ||
| 58 | <li> | ||
| 59 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
| 60 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
| 61 | performance and security. | ||
| 62 | </li> | ||
| 63 | <li> | ||
| 64 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
| 65 | negatively impact performance. Also CADET may unexpectedly deliver messages out-of-order. | ||
| 66 | </li> | ||
| 67 | <li> | ||
| 68 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
| 69 | usability and performance. | ||
| 70 | </li> | ||
| 71 | <li> | ||
| 72 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
| 73 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
| 74 | </li> | ||
| 75 | <li> | ||
| 76 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
| 77 | </li> | ||
| 78 | <li> | ||
| 79 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
| 80 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
| 81 | </li> | ||
| 82 | </ul> | ||
| 83 | <p> | ||
| 84 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker | ||
| 85 | at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists | ||
| 86 | about 190 more specific issues. | ||

| 91 | This release was the work of many people. The following people | ||
| 92 | contributed code and were thus easily identified: | ||
| 93 | Christian Grothoff, Florian Dold, Marcello Stanisci, ng0, Martin Schanzenbach and Bernd Fix. | ||
