+  <h1>RFC 9498: The GNU Name System</h1>
+<p>
+  We are happy to announce that our <i>The GNU Name System</i> (GNS) specification is now published as
+  <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9498.html">RFC 9498</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  GNS addresses long-standing <a href="https://www.wired.com/2014/03/quantum/">security</a> and
+  <a href="https://roarmag.org/essays/nsa-leak-domain-name-system/">privacy</a> issues in the ubiquitous
+  <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc882">Domain Name System (DNS)</a>.
+  Previous attempts to secure DNS (<a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9364">DNSSEC</a>) fail to address <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8324">critical security issues</a>
+  such as end-to-end security, query privacy, censorship, and centralization of root zone governance.
+  After 40 years of patching, it is time for a new beginning.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The GNU Name System is our contribution towards a decentralized and
+  censorship-resistant domain name resolution system that provides a
+  privacy-enhancing alternative to the Domain Name System (DNS).
+</p>
+<p>
+  As part of our work on RFC 9498, we have also contributed to the specification
+  of the <a href="https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc9476.html">.alt top-level
+  domain</a> to be used by alternative name resolution systems and have
+  established <a href="https://gana.gnunet.org/dot-alt/dot_alt.html">the GANA registry for ".alt"</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  GNS is implemented according to RFC 9598 in GNUnet 0.20.0. It is also implemented
+  as part of <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-go.git/">GNUnet-Go</a>.
+</p>
+<p>
+  We thank all reviewers for their comments.
+  In particular, we thank D. J. Bernstein, S. Bortzmeyer, A. Farrel, E. Lear, and R. Salz for their insightful and detailed technical reviews.
+  We thank J. Yao and J. Klensin for the internationalization reviews.
+  We thank Dr. J. Appelbaum for suggesting the name "GNU Name System" and Dr. Richard Stallman for approving its use.
+  We thank T. Lange and M. Wachs for their earlier contributions to the design and implementation of GNS. 
+  We thank J. Yao and J. Klensin for the internationalization reviews.
+  We thank <a href="https://nlnet.nl">NLnet</a> and <a href="https://nlnet.nl/project/GNS/">NGI DISCOVERY</a> for funding work on the GNU Name System.
+</p>
+<p>
+  The work does not stop here: We encourage further implementations of RFC 9498
+  to learn more both in terms of technical documentation and actual deployment
+  experiences.
+  Further, we are currently working on the specification of the
+  <a href="https://lsd.gnunet.org/lsd0004">R<sup>5</sup>N DHT</a> and <a href="https://lsd.gnunet.org/lsd0003">BFT Set Reconciliation</a> which are underlying
+  building blocks of GNS in GNUnet and not covered by RFC 9498.

+  <h1>Update for NGI Zero Entrust: GNS to DNS Migration and Zone Management</h1>
+<p>
+  We are happy to announce that we have successfully completed two Milestones:
+  <ul>
+    <li>Milestone 2a: A GNS Registrar Backend.</li>
+    <li>Milestone 2b: A GNS Registrar Frontend.</li>
+  </ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+The resulting code can be found <a href="https://git.gnunet.org/gnunet-gns-registrar.git/">in the usual place</a>.
+There are no tarballs available for the time being.
+The component is built with simplicity and privacy in mind: There are <b>no</b> accounts required; we also refrained from using JavaScript for the front end (for now).
+This component effectively replaces the "first-come, first-served" GNS name registration service previously shipped as part of GNUnet.
+Hence the service at <a href="https://fcfs.gnunet.org">https://fcfs.gnunet.org</a> has been replaced.
+The registrar integrates with <a href="https://www.taler.net">GNU Taler</a>, allowing you to test both functionalities at the same time!
+Don't worry, you do not have to use actual money, as you can use the demo currency from the <a href="https://demo.taler.net">Taler demonstrator</a> to register names for a relatively small portion of the play money you receive when you sign up there.
+</p>
+<p>
+We encourage you to try it out now and register you own zone key.
+We plan to ship this zone in the default configuration of the upcoming GNUnet 0.21 release under the domain ".pin.gns.alt".
+Note that current releases are incompatible with GNUnet, and this also applies to the node connected to our registrar deployment.
+</p>
+<p>
+  Watch this space and the mailing list for updates!

+  This work is generously funded by <a href="https://nlnet.nl">NLnet</a> as part of their <a href="https://nlnet.nl/entrust/">NGI Zero Entrust Programme</a>.

+  <h1>GNUnet {{newver}} released</h1>
+<p>
+  We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet {{newver}}.
+  <br/>
+  GNUnet is an alternative network stack for building secure, decentralized and
+  privacy-preserving distributed applications.
+  Our goal is to replace the old insecure Internet protocol stack.
+  Starting from an application for secure publication of files, it has grown to
+  include all kinds of basic protocol components and applications towards the
+  creation of a GNU internet.
+</p>
+<p>
+  This release marks a noteworthy milestone in that it includes a completely
+  new <a href="https://docs.gnunet.org/v0.21.0/users/subsystems.html#transport-ng-next-generation-transport-management">transport layer</a>.
+  It lays the groundwork for fixing some major design issues and may also
+  already alleviate a variety of issues seen in previous releases related to
+  connectivity.
+  This change also deprecates our testbed and ATS subsystem.
+</p>
+<p>
+  This is a new major release.
+  It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.20.x versions.
+  Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and has been for a
+  while) <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with
+  the 0.20.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers
+  will result in issues.
+  In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still
+  <b>a number of known open issues</b> in particular with respect to ease
+  of use, but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users.
+  Also, the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to
+  provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information.
+  As a result, the {{newver}} release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters
+  with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>.

+  <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li>
+  <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li>
+</ul>
