Hello, as this is a major release: Let me remind you to make sure that this important news item gets posted on the info-gnu mailing list, too: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-gnu/
Hasn't happened so far, yet: https://www.gnu.org/software/recent-releases.html Reasoning: New version publications can and should be used as great project promotion impulses. This way project outreach improves - potentially more people take notice of the project and turn to it. Best regards, Bastian Schmidt --- Ursprüngliche Nachricht --- Von: Martin Schanzenbach <schan...@gnunet.org> Datum: 14.11.2020 09:47:34 An: Gnunet Developers <gnunet-developers@gnu.org>, info-gnu...@gnu.org, help-gnunet <help-gnu...@gnu.org> Betreff: GNUnet 0.14.0 released > We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.14.0. > > This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the > 0.13.x versions. Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth > INCOMPATIBLE with the 0.13.x GNUnet network, and interactions between > old and new peers will result in issues. 0.13.x peers will be able to > communicate with Git master or 0.13.x peers, but some services - in > particular GNS - will not be compatible. > 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 and thus unlikely to provide good > anonymity or extensive amounts of interesting information. As a result, > the 0.14.0 release is still only suitable for early adopters with some > reasonable pain tolerance. > > Download links: > > http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.14.0.tar.gz > http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-0.14.0.tar.gz.sig > http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-gtk-0.14.0.tar.gz > http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-gtk-0.14.0.tar.gz.sig > http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-fuse-0.14.0.tar.gz > http://ftpmirror.gnu.org/gnunet/gnunet-fuse-0.14.0.tar.gz.sig > > The GPG key used to sign is: 3D11063C10F98D14BD24D1470B0998EF86F59B6A > > 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/ > > Noteworthy changes in 0.14.0 (since 0.13.3) > > GNS: > - Aligned with specification LSD001. > - Crypto agility: The GNS protocol now supports other zone types > besides ECDSA-based PKEYs. However, the alternative EdDSA-based EDKEY > crypto is not yet implemented. #6485 > - PKEY zones: ECDSA zone record sets are now encrypted using AES-CTR. > > #6487 > IDENTITY: Identities can now be created either as ECDSA (default) or > EdDSA key pairs. > POSTGRESQL: Allow NULL value returns and fix test cases. #6524 > UTIL: String time conversion functions no longer localized to preserve > reversibility. #6615 > Buildsystem: README updates to clarify runtime/compile/optional > dependencies > (NEW) MESSENGER: New messenger component (experimental) > > A detailed list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog and the 0.14.0 > bugtracker at https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?project_id=13. > > > Known Issues > > - 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. > - There are known moderate implementation limitations in CADET that > negatively 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. > - Some high-level tests in the test-suite fail non-deterministically > due > to the low-level TRANSPORT issues. > > 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. > > Thanks: > This release was the work of many people. The following people > contributed code and were thus easily identified: Christian Grothoff, > Daniel Golle, t3sserakt, TheJackiMonster and Martin Schanzenbach. > >
