3 | <h1>GNUnet 0.16.0 released</h1> | ||
4 | <p> | ||
5 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.16.0. | ||
6 | <br> | ||
7 | This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.15.x versions. | ||
8 | Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a | ||
9 | while) <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with | ||
10 | the 0.15.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers | ||
11 | will result in issues. 0.15.x peers will be able to communicate with Git | ||
12 | master or 0.16.x peers, but some services - in particular GNS - will not be compatible.<br/> | ||
13 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still | ||
14 | <b>a number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease | ||
15 | of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
16 | Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to | ||
17 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. | ||
18 | As a result, the 0.16.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters | ||
19 | with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||

36 | <ul> | ||
37 | <li><tt>GNS</tt>: | ||
38 | <ul> | ||
39 | <li>New record flag: CRITICAL. For records that must be processed otherwise resolution must fail. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=7169">#7169</a></li> | ||
40 | <li>Deletion of records and reduction of expiration times is now properly handled with respect to monotonically increasing expiratin times. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=7170">#7170</a></li> | ||
41 | <li>VPN tunnel establishment is moved out of the GNS resolver to be handled by applications (such as the DNS2GNS service). <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=7171">#7171</a></li> | ||
42 | <li>Introduces new record type REDIRECT which replaces the previous (ab)use of CNAME records. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=7172">#7172</a></li> | ||
43 | <li>The specification has been updated to reflect the changes. <a href="https://lsd.gnunet.org/lsd0001">LSD0001</a></li> | ||

45 | </ul> | ||
46 | </li> | ||

56 | <li><tt>BUILD</tt>: Building from git now requires <tt>recutils</tt>. The bootstrap will generate up-to-date header files from <a href="https://gana.gnunet.org">GANA</a>.</li> | ||
57 | </ul> | ||

61 | </p> | ||
62 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
63 | <ul> | ||
64 | <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> | ||
65 | <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that negatively impact performance.</li> | ||
66 | <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact usability and performance.</li> | ||
67 | <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li> | ||
68 | <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li> | ||
69 | <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li> | ||
70 | </ul> | ||
71 | <p> | ||
72 | In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker at <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/">bugs.gnunet.org</a> which lists about 190 more specific issues. | ||
