+<a name="gnunet-0.11.1-release">2019-02: GNUnet 0.11.1 released</a>
+</h3>
+
+<p>
+We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.1.
+<p>
+
+<p>
+This is a bugfix release for 0.11.0, mostly fixing minor bugs,
+improving documentation and fixing various build issues.  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 (about 200 peers) and thus unlikely to
+provide good anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting
+information.  As a result, the 0.11.1 release is still only suitable
+for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Download links</h4>
+  <ul>
+    <li><a href="http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.11.1.tar.gz">http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.11.1.tar.gz</a></li>

+  </ul>
+  (gnunet-gtk and gnunet-fuse were not released again, as there were no
+   changes and the 0.11.0 versions are expected to continue to work fine
+   with gnunet-0.11.1.)

+Note that due to mirror synchronization, not all links might be functional
+early after the release. For direct access try <a href="http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnunet/">http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnunet/</a>

+<p>
+Note that GNUnet is now started using <tt>gnunet-arm -s</tt>. GNUnet should be
+stopped using <tt>gnunet-arm -e</tt>.
+</p>
+
+<h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.1</h4>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li>gnunet-qr was rewritten in C, removing our last dependency on Python 2.x</li>
+    <li>REST and GNS proxy configuration options for address binding were added</li>
+    <li>gnunet-publish by default no longer includes creation time</li>
+    <li>Unreliable message ordering logic in CADET was fixed</li>
+    <li>Various improvements to build system and documentation</li>
+  </ul>
+  The above is just the short list, our bugtracker lists
+  <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?version_id=312">
+  14 individual issues</a> that were resolved since 0.11.0.
+
+<h4>Known Issues</h4>
+  <ul>
+    <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>
+    <li>There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that
+        negatively impact performance. Also CADET may unexpectedly deliver messages out-of-order.</li>
+    <li>There are known moderate design issues in FS that also impact
+        usability and performance.</li>
+    <li>There are minor implementation limitations in SET that create
+        unnecessary attack surface for availability.</li>
+    <li>The RPS subsystem remains experimental.</li>
+    <li>Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically due to
+        the low-level TRANSPORT issues.</li>
+  </ul>
+<p>
+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.
