This release marks a noteworthy milestone in that it includes a
completely new transport layer. It lays the groundwork for fixing some
major design issues and may also already alleviate a variety of issues
seen in previous releases related to connectivity. This change also
deprecates our testbed and ATS subsystem.
This is a new major release. It breaks protocol compatibility with the
0.20.x versions. Please be aware that Git master is thus henceforth
(and has been for a while) INCOMPATIBLE with the 0.20.x GNUnet
network, and interactions between old and new peers will result in
issues. 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 0.21.0 release is still only suitable for early adopters
with some reasonable pain tolerance.
v0.21.0:
- Reworked PEERSTORE API
- Added record flag for maintenance records
- ensure traits can be generated with subsystem-specific prefixes for
the symbols

- Changed method GNUNET_HELLO_builder_get_expiration_time to not need

- Code moved to the core package to get rid of circular dependencies.
- Moved code to testing to have more generic test setup, which can be
used not only from within transport.
- The old hello design replaced by the new hello design.
- Added api to get notified when hellos are stored with peerstore
service.
- Added api to store hellos with peerstore service.
