[info-GNUnet] GNUnet 0.6.1 released

[Christian Grothoff]

The new release features both a large number of bug-fixes and other 
enhancements that should give anyone plenty of reason to upgrade. The most 
significant new features are (in no particular order):

* The message assembly code now uses much less CPU time on systems with high 
bandwidth. 
* gnunet-gtk can now be used to start gnunetd -- and will detect if gnunetd is 
not running.
* various new gnunet-gtk features can be accessed by right-clicking on search 
result and download lists.
* A special transport was added for peers using network address translation 
(NAT). The existing solutions for NAT (configure NAT-box to forward port, 
advertise IP of NAT box) of course still work (and are preferable). 
* The configuration file was split into a configuration for gnunetd and daemon 
related tools and another configuration for all gnunetd-clients.  

This last change is the only thing you really have to worry about for the 
update. The release is backwards-compatible in terms of both the protocol and 
the database, so there should be no problems with this update in that 
respect.
