[info-GNUnet] GNUnet 0.7.0b released

[Christian Grothoff]

This is again a bugfix release. The most important minor bugs fixed are:

* The UDP transports did not properly work if sender and receiver used
   different MTUs.
* Files of 0 bytes failed to download.
* An integer overflow limited the local datastore to 4 GB modulo 4 GB.

However, probably more important improvements for 0.7.0b are in the area of 
resource consumption. Not only should 0.7.0b use significantly less processor 
time, but also the memory use should stabilize at a much lower level. 
Depending on your configuration, 0.7.0b could be as much as 10 times more 
efficient in terms of memory footprint and processor time compared with 
0.7.0a.

Updating should be trivial (recompile, install, stop gnunetd, run 
gnunet-update, start gnunetd) and is highly recommended.   
 
You can download the code from all GNU mirrors or from the URLs given below.   
Note that you need GNU's libextractor, the latest version is 0.5.9 (but there 
should not be a strict need to use the latest version).
