We are pleased to announce the release of GNUnet 0.16.0.
This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the =
0.15.x versions. Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth (and =
has been for a while) INCOMPATIBLE with the 0.15.x GNUnet network, and =
interactions between old and new peers will result in issues. 0.15.x =
peers will be able to communicate with Git master or 0.16.x peers, but =
some services - in particular GNS - will not be compatible.
In terms of usability, users should be aware that there are still a =
number of known open issues in particular with respect to ease of use, =
but also some critical privacy issues especially for mobile users. Also, =
the nascent network is tiny and thus unlikely to provide good anonymity =
or extensive amounts of interesting information. As a result, the 0.16.0 =
release is still only suitable for early adopters with some reasonable =
pain tolerance.

Noteworthy changes in 0.16.0 (since 0.15.3):
GNS:
  - New record flag: CRITICAL. For records that must be processed =
otherwise resolution must fail. #7169
  - Deletion of records and reduction of expiration times is now =
properly handled with respect to monotonically increasing expiratin =
times. #7170
  - VPN tunnel establishment is moved out of the GNS resolver to be =
handled by applications (such as the DNS2GNS service). #7171
  - Introduces new record type REDIRECT which replaces the previous =
(ab)use of CNAME records. #7172
  - The specification has been updated to reflect the changes. =
https://lsd.gnunet.org/lsd0001
DHT:
  - Routes can now be signed. #4164
  - Changed distance metric to a more traditional XOR. #7136
  - The specification has been updated to reflect the changes. =
https://lsd.gnunet.org/lsd0004
RECLAIM: Added some preliminary support for Decentralized Identifier =
(DID) and Verifiable Credentials (VCs).
UTIL: Add Clause-Schnorr blind signatures. For use in Taler =
(https://taler.net/en/news/2022-02.html).
BUILD: Building from git now requires recutils. The bootstrap will =
generate up-to-date header files from https://gana.gnunet.org/.

A detailed list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog and the 0.16.0
bugtracker at https://bugs.gnunet.org/changelog_page.php?project_id=3D13.

Thanks:
This release was the work of many people. The following people =
contributed code and were thus easily identified: Christian Grothoff, =
Tristan Schwieren, Alessio Vanni, Florian Dold, Thien-Thi Nguyen, =
t3sserakt, Lucien Heuzeveldt, Gian Demarmels, madmurphy, TheJackiMonster =
and Martin Schanzenbach.
