We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.12.0.
This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.11.x versions.
Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth INCOMPATIBLE with
the 0.11.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers
will result in signature verification failures. 0.11.x peers will NOT
be able to communicate with Git master or 0.12.x peers.
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 0.12.0 release is still only suitable for early adopters
with some reasonable pain tolerance.
gnunet-fuse and gnunet-gtk were not released again, as there were no changes and the 0.11.8/0.11.7 versions are expected to continue to work fine with gnunet-0.12.0. The GPG key used to sign is: TODO
Note that due to mirror synchronization, not all links might be functional early after the release. For direct access try http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnunet/
In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker at bugs.gnunet.org which lists about 190 more specific issues.
This release was the work of many people. The following people contributed code and were thus easily identified: ng0, Christian Grothoff, Florian Dold, xrs, Naomi Phillips and Martin Schanzenbach.
