This release changes various APIs, which may result in incompatibilities wi= th=20 related tools like freeway. The peer-to-peer protocol is unchanged (and thu= s=20 compatible), but the client-server protocol changed slightly. The new relea= se=20 features:=20 * support for libextractor =E2=89=A5 0.3.0=20 * plotting of statistics with gnunet-gtk (rudimentary)=20 * reduced memory consumption for gnunet-download and gnunet-insert=20 * gnunet-transport-check can now test external connectivity=20 * gnunet-download now supports recursive parallel download of directories=20 * gnunet-gtk supports recursive insertion of directories=20 * indexing files is now fully network-transparent (see new option -l for=20 gnunet-insert)=20 * gnunet-download now bounds the request priorities within a range of the=20 priorities currently used in requests from other peers=20 * config.h is no longer included by the installed GNUnet header files=20 * gnunet-insert allows pre-viewing keywords extracted with libextractor=20 * a guile script to keep track of and resume gnunet-downloads was added=20 * gnunet-testbed now passes basic functionality tests=20 * cosmetic improvements (most visible change is probably that the gnunet-gt= k=20 search notebook now scrolls if there are many searches ongoing)=20 * the usual minor bug fixes (memcpy instead of memmove, blocking pipe=20 deadlocks select, segmentation faults)=20 0.6.2 uses a slightly different scheme for file indexing (to achieve networ= k=20 transparency). You should run gnunet-check -u after recompilation and befor= e=20 starting gnunetd. Updating from versions before 0.6.1b is not supported=20 (update first to 0.6.1d and then to 0.6.2 if you must). The sources can be obtained from http://www.ovmj.org/GNUnet/download/GNUnet-0.6.2.tar.bz2 and all GNU mirrors (once they synchronize). RPMs will eventually appear at http://www.ovmj.org/~rpm/. Available DEBs are listed at http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/gnunet. Christian
