+ <h3>
+ <a name="gnunet-0.11.7-release">2019-XX-XX: GNUnet 0.11.7 released</a>
+ </h3>
+ <p>
+ We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.11.7.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ This is a bugfix release for 0.11.6, fixing a lot of
+ minor bugs, improving stability and code quality. Further, win32 support
+ was removed for reasons you may read below.
+ In this release, we again improved the webpage in general and updated our
+ documentation.
+
+ <i>As always:</i>
+ 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 0.11.7 release is still <b>only suitable
+ for early adopters with some reasonable pain tolerance</b>.
+ </p>

+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ gnunet-fuse was not released again, as there were no
+ changes and the 0.11.0 versions are expected to continue to work fine
+ with gnunet-0.11.7.

+ <h4>Noteworthy changes in 0.11.7 (since 0.11.6)</h4>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ win32 and mingw support were dropped, which resulted in a significant
number of lines of
+ code to be gone. The code has been unmaintained in our code base
+ for many years and there are no known users. For details and further
reasons refer to the discussion
+ <a
href="https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnunet-developers/2019-09/msg00002.html">in
our archives</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Removal of plibc, win32 and mingw support means you can now compile
gnunet without requiring a Cxx compiler
+ (you just need a C compiler).
+ </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.
+ </p>
+
+ <h4>Thanks</h4>
+ <p>
+ This release was the work of many people. The following people
+ contributed code and were thus easily identified:
+ Martin Schanzenbach, Julius Bünger, ng0, Christian Grothoff, Alexia
Pagkopoulou, rexxnor, xrs, lurchi and t3sserakt.
