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 | Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with | ||
9 | the 0.11.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers | ||
10 | will result in signature verification failures. 0.11.x peers will <b>NOT</b> | ||
11 | be able to communicate with Git master or 0.12.x peers.<br/> | ||
12 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still | ||
13 | <b>a large number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease | ||
14 | of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
15 | Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to | ||
16 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. | ||
17 | As a result, the 0.12.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters | ||
18 | with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||

38 | <ul> | ||
39 | <li><tt>GNS</tt>: | ||
40 | <ul> | ||
41 | <li>Changed key derivation protocols to adhere with <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/lsd0001.git/tree/draft-schanzen-gns.txt">LSD001</a>. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5921">#5921</a></li> | ||
42 | <li>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> | ||
43 | <li>NSS plugin now properly handles non-standard IDNA names. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5927">#5927</a></li> | ||
44 | <li>NSS plugin will refuse to process requests from root (as GNUnet code should never run as root). <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5927">#5907</a></li> | ||
45 | <li>Fixed BOX service/protocol label parsing (for TLSA et al)</li> | ||
46 | </ul> | ||
47 | </li> | ||
48 | <li><tt>GNS/NSE</tt>: Zone revocation proof of work algorithm changed to be less susceptible to specialized ASIC hardware. | ||
49 | <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=3795">#3795</a></li> | ||
50 | <li><tt>TRANSPORT</tt>: UDP plugin moved to experimental as it is known to be unstable.</li> | ||
51 | <li><tt>UTIL</tt>: | ||
52 | <ul> | ||
53 | <li>Improved and documented RSA binary format. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5968">#5968</a></li> | ||
54 | <li>Removed redundant hashing in EdDSA signatures. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5398">#5398</a></li> | ||
55 | <li>The <tt>gnunet-logread</tt> script for log auditing (requires perl) can now be installed.</li> | ||
56 | <li>Now using <a href="https://tweetnacl.cr.yp.to/">TweetNaCl</a> for ECDH implementation.</li> | ||
57 | </ul> | ||
58 | </li> | ||
59 | <li><tt>Buildsystem</tt>: A significant number of build system issued have been fixed and improvements implemented, including: | ||
60 | <ul> | ||
61 | <li>GLPK dependency dropped.</li> | ||
62 | <li>Fixed guix package definition.</li> | ||
63 | </ul> | ||
64 | </li> | ||
65 | <li><tt>Documentation</tt>: Improvements to the handbook and documentation.</li> | ||
66 | </ul> | ||
67 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
68 | <ul> | ||
69 | <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> | ||
70 | <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that negatively impact performance.</li> | ||
71 | <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact usability and performance.</li> | ||
72 | <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li> | ||
73 | <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li> | ||
74 | <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li> | ||
75 | </ul> | ||
76 | <p> | ||
