[GNUnet-developers] GNUnet 0.7.1a released

[Christian Grothoff]

This new version fixes a few minor problems discovered in 0.7.1 and adds a few 
minor features. GNUnet 0.7.1a is completely compatible with GNUnet 0.7.1.  In 
fact, it is so compatible that there is no new gnunet-gtk release -- 
gnunet-gtk 0.7.1 should work fine with GNUnet 0.7.1a.  You must run 
gnunet-update after compiling the new code (as usual).

GNUnet 0.7.1a adds yet another dependency:

* libxml2


Noteworthy improvements in GNUnet 0.7.1a include: 

* Automatic detection of external IP addresses and port mapping for peers
   behind NAT using UPnP
* gnunet-download can now be used to download files from already downloaded
   GNUnet directory files
* gnunet-peer-info can now do reverse DNS lookups on peer addresses
* gnunet-pseudonym is properly linked
* Updated various man pages and other documentation
* Extended options supported by gnunet-setup (now complete)

The following bugs were fixed:

* TCP transport did not connect from behind NAT if the TCP PORT 
   was set to zero
* potential assertion failure due to large select write queue (rare)
* testing of bi-directional transports behind NAT with gnunet-transport-check
   is now possible
* gnunetd now drops supplementary groups when changing permissions on startup
* build problems with libiconv on some systems
* verbose option for gnunet-transport-check did not work
* aborting gnunet-transport-check with CTRL-C did not work
