3 | <h1>GNUnet 0.12.0 released</h1> | ||
4 | <p> | ||
5 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.12.0. | ||
6 | <br> | ||
7 | This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.11.x versions. | ||
8 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still | ||
9 | <b>a large number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease | ||
10 | of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
11 | Also, the nascent network is tiny (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to | ||
12 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. | ||
13 | As a result, the 0.12.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters | ||
14 | with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||
15 | </p> | ||

25 | <p> | ||
26 | gnunet-fuse and gnunet-gtk were not released again, as there were no changes | ||
27 | and the 0.11.0/0.11.7 versions are expected to continue to work fine with | ||
28 | gnunet-0.12.0. The GPG key used to sign is: | ||

36 | <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.12.0 (since 0.11.8)</h4> | ||
37 | <ul> | ||
38 | <li><tt>GNS</tt>: Changed key derivation protocols to adhere with <a href="">LSD001</a>. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5921">#5921</a></li> | ||
39 | <li><tt>GNS</tt>: GNS names are not expected to be UTF-8 (as opposed to IDNA). <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5922">#5922</a></li> | ||
40 | <li><tt>GNS</tt>: GNS NSS plugin now properly handles non-standard IDNA names. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5927">#5927</a></li> | ||
41 | <li><tt>GNS/NSE</tt>: Zone revocation proof of work algorithm changed to be less susceptible to specialized ASIC hardware. | ||
42 | <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=3795">#3795</a></li> | ||
43 | <li><tt>TRANSPORT</tt>: UDP plugin moved to experimental as it is known to be unstable.</li> | ||

47 | </ul> | ||
48 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
49 | <ul> | ||
50 | <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> | ||
51 | <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that negatively impact performance.</li> | ||
52 | <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact usability and performance.</li> | ||
53 | <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li> | ||
54 | <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li> | ||
55 | <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li> | ||
56 | </ul> | ||
57 | <p> | ||
