4 | <h1>GNUnet 0.17.0 released</h1> | ||
5 | <p> | ||
6 | We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.17.0. | ||
7 | <br/> | ||
8 | GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and | ||
9 | privacy-preserving distributed applications. | ||
10 | Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack. | ||
11 | Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to | ||
12 | include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the | ||
13 | creation of a GNU internet. | ||
14 | </p> | ||
15 | <p> | ||
16 | This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.16.x versions. | ||
17 | Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a | ||
18 | while) <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with | ||
19 | the 0.16.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers | ||
20 | will result in issues. 0.16.x peers will be able to communicate with Git | ||
21 | master or 0.17.x peers, but some services - in particular the DHT - will not be compatible.<br/> | ||
22 | In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still | ||
23 | <b>a number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease | ||
24 | of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. | ||
25 | Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to | ||
26 | provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. | ||
27 | As a result, the 0.17.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters | ||
28 | with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>. | ||
29 | </p> | ||

69 | <h4>Known Issues</h4> | ||
70 | <ul> | ||
71 | <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> | ||
72 | <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that negatively impact performance.</li> | ||
73 | <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact usability and performance.</li> | ||
74 | <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li> | ||
75 | <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li> | ||
76 | <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li> | ||
77 | </ul> | ||
