Bugzilla Bug 230347

GNUnet 0.8.0-final was released 2008-06-14.

Reproducible: Always

Nothing security related, it seems...

Noteworthy improvements since GNUnet 0.7.3 are: 
Major new features: 
 Added support for google-style searches
 Added support for ranking search results by availability
 User-friendly naming of namespaces and pseudonyms
 Added new "hostlist" application which is an integrated HTTP hostlist server
using libmicrohttpd
 Added new tool gnunet-auto-share for automatic sharing of files in a directory
 Improved GAP search requests to gather more search results (using bloom filter
to exclude known responses)
 Improved file-sharing datastores to return more diverse search results
(randomized starting point in iteration)
 Made GNUnet finally work (again) on OpenBSD
Minor improvements: 
 Integrated IPv6 transports with existing IPv4 transports (making full use of
dual-stacks where available)
 Added IPv6 support to the HTTP transport
 Improved FSUI suspend/resume IO performance
 Added options to gnunet-peer-info to determine identity of local peer
 Added sanity check for module configuration
 Added self-evaluation (amount of trust earned, spent, awarded)
 Added directory name as metadata for files in directories
 Added options for gnunet-insert to just compute the URI or just add keywords
to already shared file
 Added support for pausing of a search (to FSUI and gnunet-gtk)
 Improved latency of some operations in gnunet-gtk
 Various cosmetic improvements in gnunet-gtk
 Improved scalability of datastores to handle many results for the same keyword
(from O(n) to O(1) by adding extra index)
 Improved bandwidth consumption for file-sharing (reduced overheads by 64 bytes
per 32k block)
 Improved performance of the dstores (used for DHTs)
 Writable files (like the content of /etc and /var) are now stored to
CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA ("C:\ProgramData\" on Vista, "C:\Documents and
Settings\All Users\Application Data\" on XP) on Windows.
Bugfixes: 
 Fixed bug in HTTP transport causing certain messages not to be delivered
 Fixed rare crash in GAP routing
 Fixed reporting of errors during insertion if datastore got full
 Fixed various bugs with recursive downloads
 Fixed bug causing problems when downloading very large files already in the
local datastore
 Fixed bug causing certain search results from the local datastore not showing
up properly
 Fixed bug revealing that user sharing files is using W32
 Fixed various issues with the build process for various platforms
 Fixed bug in DHT routing table construction (increases number of DHT
connections, resulting in faster routing)
 Fixed deadlock in gnunet-gtk
 Fixed issue with GNUnet clients and GNUnet daemon running on different
architectures (Mantis #1312)
 Fixed deadlock in MySQL sqstore module
Changes relevant for developers: 
 Improved and simplified various APIs
 Added support for chat (client-server and UI only, no P2P support yet)
 Added asynchronous search and download methods to ECRS (saves one thread per
search/download for most GNUnet-tools)
 Improved performance of make check by using a weak PRNG (for testing only)

In CVS

I just wanted to put it on a server - but this version seems to need gtk - even
if the useflag gtk is off!
