The new features of this release are:
* namespaces and directories
Now, if that does not sound exciting, here's the long version:
* recursive insertion of entire file hierarchies into GNUnet, the structure is
preserved (gnunet-insert -br SOME-DIRECTORY)
* namespaces can contain directories
* directories can refer to namespaces
* content in namespaces can be updated
* if updates are available, gnunet attempts to find them automatically
And all of this has been integrated into the GNUnet-GTK user interface.
Note that while the new version *extends* the existing GNUnet protocol, old
clients should continue to work with new clients. Of course, old clients can
not display directories or search in a namespace.
Also, some minor bugs (e.g. 64-bit time_t support) have been fixed.
Due to some trouble uploading to GNU's FTP server, ftp.gnu.org does NOT have
the sources right now, so you'll have to stick to
http://ovmj.org/GNUnet/download/
which also has (i386) RPMs. FreeBSD and Debian binaries will hopefully be
made available soon.
