4 | </h3> | ||
5 | <p> | ||
6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.8. | ||
7 | </p> | ||
8 | <p> | ||
9 | This is a hotfix release for 0.11.7. | ||
10 | |||
11 | <i>As always:</i> | ||
12 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still <b>a large | ||
13 | number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease of use, | ||
14 | but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
15 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
16 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting | ||
17 | information. As a result, the 0.11.8 release is still <b>only suitable | ||
18 | for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||
19 | </p> | ||

29 | <p> | ||
30 | gnunet-fuse and gnunet-gtk were not released again, as there were no | ||
31 | changes and the 0.11.0/0.11.7 versions are expected to continue to work fine | ||
32 | with gnunet-0.11.8. | ||

39 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.8 (since 0.11.7)</h4> | ||
40 | <ul> | ||
41 | <li> | ||
42 | <tt>GNS</tt> Portability fixes. | ||
43 | </li> | ||
44 | <li> | ||
45 | <tt>PQ</tt>: Fixed build with postgresql plugin. (Regression introduces | ||

47 | </li> | ||
48 | </ul> | ||
49 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
50 | <ul> | ||
51 | <li> | ||
52 | There are known major design issues in the TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE subsystems | ||
53 | which will need to be addressed in the future to achieve acceptable usability, | ||
54 | performance and security. | ||
55 | </li> | ||
56 | <li> | ||
57 | There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that | ||
58 | negatively impact performance. | ||
59 | </li> | ||
60 | <li> | ||
61 | There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact | ||
62 | usability and performance. | ||
63 | </li> | ||
64 | <li> | ||
65 | There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create | ||
66 | unnecessary attack surface for availability. | ||
67 | </li> | ||
68 | <li> | ||
69 | The RPS subsystem remains experimental. | ||
70 | </li> | ||
71 | <li> | ||
72 | Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to | ||
73 | the low-level TRANSPORT issues. | ||
74 | </li> | ||
75 | </ul> | ||
76 | <p> | ||
