+ <h1>GNUnet 0.12.0 released</h1>
+<p>
+ We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.12.0.
+<br>
+ This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the
0.11.x versions.
+ In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still
+ <b>a large 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 (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 <b>only suitable for early adopters
+ with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>.
+</p>
+<h4>Download links</h4>

+</ul>
+<p>
+ gnunet-fuse and gnunet-gtk were not released again, as there were no changes
+ and the 0.11.0/0.11.7 versions are expected to continue to work fine with
+ gnunet-0.12.0. The GPG key used to sign is:
+ <tt>TODO</tt>

+<h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.12.0 (since 0.11.8)</h4>
+<ul>
+ <li><tt>GNS</tt>: Changed key derivation protocols to adhere with <a
href="">LSD001</a>. <a
href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5921">#5921</a></li>
+ <li><tt>GNS</tt>: GNS names are not expected to be UTF-8 (as opposed to
IDNA). <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5922">#5922</a></li>
+ <li><tt>GNS</tt>: GNS NSS plugin now properly handles non-standard IDNA
names. <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5927">#5927</a></li>
+ <li><tt>GNS/NSE</tt>: Zone revocation proof of work algorithm changed to be
less susceptible to specialized ASIC hardware.
+ <a href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=3795">#3795</a></li>
+ <li><tt>TRANSPORT</tt>: UDP plugin moved to experimental as it is known to
be unstable.</li>
+ <li><tt>UTIL</tt>: Improved and documented RSA binary format. <a
href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5968">#5968</a></li>
+ <li><tt>UTIL</tt>: Removed redundant hashing in EdDSA signatures. <a
href="https://bugs.gnunet.org/view.php?id=5398">#5398</a></li>
+ <li><tt>Buildsystem</tt>: A significant number of build system issued have
been fixed and improvements implemented.</li>
+</ul>
+<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.</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.
