+2019-02: GNUnet 0.11.0 released +

+ +We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.0.
+ +This is a major release after about five years of development. In +terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a large +number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, +but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. +Also, the nascent network is tiny (~200 peers) and thus unlikely to +provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting +information. As a result, the 0.11.0 release is still only suitable +for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance. + +

Download links

+

+

+Note that GNUnet is now started using gnunet-arm -s. GNUnet should be +stopped using gnunet-arm -e. +

+ +

  • The code now builds again on MacOS.
    • +
  • Build process now works properly with idn2
    • +
  • Except for gnunet-qr, all Python code was migrated to Python 3.7.
    • +
  • Fixed security issues in secret sharing cryptography logic

    • +
  • GNS responses are now padded to minimize information disclosure from the size
    • +
  • Fixed API issues and (rare) crash bugs in CADET
    • +
  • The experimental SecuShare code is not included in the release, you can + now find it in the gnunet-secushare + Git repository.
    • +
+ The above is just the short list, our bugtracker lists + + over 50 individual issues that were resolved since 0.11.0pre66. +

+ +

Known Issues

+

+

    +
  • There are known major design issues in TRANSPORT, ATS and CORE + which will need to be addressed for usability, performance + and security.
    • +
  • There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that + impact performance.
    • +
  • There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact + usability and performance.
    • +
  • There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create + unnecessary attack surface for availability.
    • +
  • The RPS subsystem remains experimental.
    • +
+ +In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker +at bugs.gnunet.org which lists +about 150 more specific issues. +
