4 | </h3> | ||
5 | <p> | ||
6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.7. | ||
7 | </p> | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | This is a bugfix release for 0.11.6, fixing a lot of | ||
10 | minor bugs, improving stability and code quality. Further, win32 support | ||
11 | was removed for reasons you may read below. | ||
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 0.11.7 release is still <b>only suitable | ||
22 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||
23 | </p> | ||

34 | gnunet-fuse is not released again, as there were no | ||

36 | with gnunet-0.11.7. | ||

43 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.7 (since 0.11.6)</h4> | ||
44 | <ul> | ||
45 | <li> | ||
46 | <tt>ARM</tt>: GNUnet CLI tools are now able to detect if gnunet(-arm) is | ||
47 | not running and will exit with a warning (before the command would just | ||
48 | hang and wait for GNUnet to be started). #5906 | ||
49 | </li> | ||
50 | <li> | ||
51 | win32 and mingw support were dropped, which resulted in a significant number of lines of | ||
52 | code to be gone. The code has been unmaintained in our code base | ||
53 | for many years and there are no known users. For details and further reasons refer to the discussion | ||
54 | <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnunet-developers/2019-09/msg00002.html">in our archives</a>. | ||
55 | </li> | ||
56 | <li> | ||
57 | Removal of plibc, win32 and mingw support means you can now compile gnunet without requiring a Cxx compiler | ||
58 | (you just need a C compiler). #5877 | ||
59 | </li> | ||
60 | <li> | ||
61 | <tt>REST</tt>: The new config endpoints can now be used to read and write | ||
62 | the GNUnet config. #5808 | ||
63 | </li> | ||
64 | <li> | ||
65 | <tt>REST</tt>: The service is not started per user in multiuser setups. | ||
66 | </li> | ||
67 | <li> | ||
68 | <tt>REST</tt>: Added tests for namestore and GNS. #5638 | ||
69 | </li> | ||
70 | <li> | ||
71 | <tt>re:claimID / OIDC</tt>: Now supports <a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7636">PKCE</a>. #5807 | ||
72 | </li> | ||
73 | <li> | ||
74 | SUID binary detection mechanisms implemented to improve compatiblity with | ||
75 | some distributions. | ||
76 | </li> | ||
77 | <li> | ||
78 | <tt>CREDENTIAL</tt> subsystem reworked and renamed to <tt>ABD</tt> | ||
79 | (attribute-based delegation). | ||
80 | </li> | ||
81 | <li> | ||
82 | <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnunet-developers/2019-10/msg00023.html">Minor TRANSPORT fixes</a> and <a href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnunet-developers/2019-10/msg00022.html">NAT changes</a>. | ||
83 | </li> | ||
84 | <li> | ||
85 | <tt>GNS</tt> prepared code for <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/lsd0001.git/tree/draft-schanzen-gns.txt">LSD001 changes</a>. #5920 | ||
86 | </li> | ||
87 | <li> | ||
88 | Documentation, comments and code quality was improved. | ||
89 | </li> | ||
90 | </ul> | ||
91 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
92 | <ul> | ||
93 | <li> | ||
94 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
95 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
96 | performance and security. | ||
97 | </li> | ||
98 | <li> | ||
99 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
100 | negatively impact performance. | ||
101 | </li> | ||
102 | <li> | ||
103 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
104 | usability and performance. | ||
105 | </li> | ||
106 | <li> | ||
107 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
108 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
109 | </li> | ||
110 | <li> | ||
111 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
112 | </li> | ||
113 | <li> | ||
114 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
115 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
116 | </li> | ||
117 | </ul> | ||
118 | <p> | ||
119 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker | ||
120 | at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists | ||
121 | about 190 more specific issues. | ||
