The new release features both a large number of bug-fixes and other enhancements that should give anyone plenty of reason to upgrade. The most significant new features are (in no particular order): * The message assembly code now uses much less CPU time on systems with high bandwidth. * gnunet-gtk can now be used to start gnunetd -- and will detect if gnunetd is not running. * various new gnunet-gtk features can be accessed by right-clicking on search result and download lists. * A special transport was added for peers using network address translation (NAT). The existing solutions for NAT (configure NAT-box to forward port, advertise IP of NAT box) of course still work (and are preferable). * The configuration file was split into a configuration for gnunetd and daemon related tools and another configuration for all gnunetd-clients. This last change is the only thing you really have to worry about for the update. The release is backwards-compatible in terms of both the protocol and the database, so there should be no problems with this update in that respect. Christian
