| 4 | </h3> | ||
| 5 | <p> | ||
| 6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.6. | ||
| 7 | </p> | ||
| 8 | <p> | ||
| 9 | This is a bugfix release for 0.11.5, fixing a lot of | ||
| 10 | minor bugs, improving stability and code quality. Further, our videos are | ||
| 11 | back on the homepage. | ||
| 12 | In this release, we again improved the webpage in general and updated our | ||
| 13 | documentation. | ||
| 14 | |||
| 15 | <i>As always:</i> | ||
| 16 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still <b>a large | ||
| 17 | number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
| 18 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
| 19 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
| 20 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
| 21 | information. As a result, the 0.11.6 release is still <b>only suitable | ||
| 22 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||
| 23 | </p> | ||

| 33 | <p> | ||
| 34 | gnunet-fuse was not released again, as there were no | ||
| 35 | changes and the 0.11.0 versions are expected to continue to work fine | ||
| 36 | with gnunet-0.11.6. | ||

| 42 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.6 (since 0.11.5)</h4> | ||
| 43 | <ul> | ||
| 44 | <li> | ||
| 45 | <tt>gnunet-identity</tt> can now print private keys. | ||
| 46 | </li> | ||
| 47 | <li> | ||
| 48 | The <tt>REST</tt> service can be configured to echo the HTTP Origin header value | ||
| 49 | for Cross-Origin-Resource-Sharing (CORS) when it is called by a browser | ||
| 50 | plugin. Optionally, a CORS Origin to echo can be also be directly | ||
| 51 | configured. | ||
| 52 | </li> | ||
| 53 | <li> | ||
| 54 | <tt>re:claimID</tt> tickets are now re-used whenever possible. | ||
| 55 | </li> | ||
| 56 | <li> | ||
| 57 | SUID binary detection mechanisms implemented to improve compatiblity with | ||
| 58 | some distributions. | ||
| 59 | </li> | ||
| 60 | <li> | ||
| 61 | <tt>TRANSPORT</tt>, <tt>TESTBED</tt> and <tt>CADET</tt> tests now pass again on macOS. | ||
| 62 | </li> | ||
| 63 | <li> | ||
| 64 | <tt>CADET</tt>: Replaced enum <tt>GNUNET_CADET_ChannelOption</tt> with <tt>GNUNET_MQ_PriorityPreferences</tt> in preparation of API changed in the future. | ||
| 65 | </li> | ||
| 66 | <li> | ||
| 67 | The GNS proxy Certification Authority is now generated using gnutls-certtool, | ||
| 68 | if available, with opennssl/certtool as fallback. | ||
| 69 | </li> | ||
| 70 | <li> | ||
| 71 | Documentation, comments and code quality was improved. | ||
| 72 | </li> | ||
| 73 | </ul> | ||
| 74 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
| 75 | <ul> | ||
| 76 | <li> | ||
| 77 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
| 78 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
| 79 | performance and security. | ||
| 80 | </li> | ||
| 81 | <li> | ||
| 82 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
| 83 | negatively impact performance. | ||
| 84 | </li> | ||
| 85 | <li> | ||
| 86 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
| 87 | usability and performance. | ||
| 88 | </li> | ||
| 89 | <li> | ||
| 90 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
| 91 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
| 92 | </li> | ||
| 93 | <li> | ||
| 94 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
| 95 | </li> | ||
| 96 | <li> | ||
| 97 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
| 98 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
| 99 | </li> | ||
| 100 | </ul> | ||
| 101 | <p> | ||
