Re: GNUnet 0.20.0 released

[Christian Grothoff]

Dear Bastian,

I actually don't think this release is that big a deal. 0.21.0 is 
expected to finally integrate TNG, which will deserve a bigger 
announcement (assuming that we're sure enough it works well ;-)).

0.20.0 is more incremental small improvements, and many mostly for GNU 
Taler 0.9.3. So I don't think we should go info-gnu this time.

My 2 cents

Christian
