Note that you need GNU's libextractor 0.5.18. http://gnunet.org/download/GNUnet-0.7.2.tar.bz2 http://gnunet.org/download/gnunet-gtk-0.7.2.tar.bz2 http://gnunet.org/download/gnunet-qt-0.7.2.tar.bz2 (to be published soon) http://gnunet.org/libextractor/download/libextractor-0.5.18.tar.gz http://gnunet.org/download/win32/Setup-0.7.2.exe (to be published soon) The main change for 0.7.2 is the addition of support for non-anonymous downloads using direct connections and a distributed hash table (DHT). Most of the smaller changes made for 0.7.2 have focused on adding automatic testcases and improving stability and correctness. Furthermore, all features that were removed from gnunet-gtk as part of the major changes for the 0.7.0 release have been added back. Developers should note that there were some minor API changes and extensions. Noteworthy improvements since GNUnet 0.7.1 include: * Added non-anonymous file-sharing (anonymity-level zero) using DHT * Added tracking of history of our interaction with a particular URI * Added heuristic for better packing of gnunet-directories * Added support for namespaces to gnunet-gtk * Added peer tab showing gnunet-peer-info-like information in gnunet-gtk * Added support for IO load detection * Enabled abortion of gnunet-peer-info with CTRL-C * Added additional statistics for gnunet-gtk while using less CPU * Fixed issues with the handling of certain command-line options (-L, -H) * Fixed various bugs causing problems with peers not connecting properly * Fixed bug in routing algorithm that reduced its effectiveness * Fixed handling of -d option by gnunet-download * Fixed issues with paths for gettext (internationalization) in gnunet-gtk * Fixed (rare) deadlock during download shutdown sequence * Fixed (rare) deadlock in gnunet-gtk * Fixed many other minor bugs Updating should be trivial. GNUnet 0.7.2 peers should be able to communicate with 0.7.1-peers (but not with 0.7.0 peers). The compatibility transport, tcp_old, is no longer supported (you must update your configuration file and remove it). Please see UPDATING for details. More information about GNUnet including how to use it, installation, other dependencies, mailinglists, a bug database and a forum can be found at http://gnunet.org/ Thanks for your attention Christian Grothoff
