  <h1>GNUnet 0.15.0 released</h1>
<p>
  We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.15.0.
<br>
  This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the 0.14.x versions.
  Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth <b>INCOMPATIBLE</b> with
  the 0.14.x GNUnet network, and interactions between old and new peers
  will result in issues.  0.14.x peers will be able to communicate with Git
  master or 0.14.x peers, but some services - in particular GNS - will not be compatible.<br/>
  The MESSENGER service goes out of experimental to be used by
  libraries and applications as dependency. It handles decentralized
  messaging in flexible groups by using the CADET service and messages
  can be signed with your ego from the IDENTITY service. The service
  is still in an early stage, so its protocol (currently version 0.1)
  will likely adapt or change in future releases to some degree.<br/>
  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 0.15.0 release is still <b>only suitable for early adopters
  with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>.

  <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>
