This is, again, mostly a bugfix release. The bugs were mostly in the area of too much (useless) traffic being generated (looping queries, far too frequent (attempts to do) key exchanges). There are three main new features: * trusted networks for the TCP port. gnunetd will refuse connections from client applications (gnunet-insert/gnunet-search/etc.) if they are not on a trusted network (localhost by default). Before 0.4.2, you had to firewall the TCP port to achieve this. * DNS lookup for NAT boxes that have a dynamic IP (if you have a fixed IP or are not behind a NAT box, this does not matter). * gnunet-stats, a new tool to display statistics about the node, informative and helpful for debugging :-) The protocol is 100% compatible with the previous version, but an upgrade is highly recommented to reduce traffic.
