Noteworthy changes in 0.9.0

  • Contacts can be blocked and unblocked to filter chat messages.
  • Requests for permission to use a camera, autostart the application and running it in background.
  • Camera sensors can be selected to exchange contact information.

A detailed list of changes can be found in the ChangeLog.

Known Issues

  • Chats still require a reliable connection between GNUnet peers. So this still depends on the upcoming NAT traversal to be used outside of local networks for most users (see #5710).
  • File sharing via the FS service should work in a GNUnet single-user setup but a multi-user setup breaks it (see #7355)

In addition to this list, you may also want to consult our bug tracker at bugs.gnunet.org.
