What's New in This Release:
- Updated OpenSSL library to latest. GB had no heartbleed, as the lib was already the latest and not affected.
- Improved, more simplified Gui, which is default at startup.
- Added e-mail C/O institutions: Institutions will now be able to house 3rd-party e-mail without needing to distribute their public keys. (Please remove your old email.db.) With enabling C/O service you create a post office for your friends. Two methods exist: Define a common neighbor (e.g Alice and Bob connect to a common webserver as node, and all three have email keys shared), then the webserver stores the emails, even if Alice or Bob are offline.
- Second: Create an Institution and add the email key of a friend to your node. In case your friend adds the magnet link for the institution as well to his node, the institution will save all emails for him (as well from senders, which are not registered at the virtual institution). A Magnet Link allows to share the Institution easily.
- SCTP implementation and support for Wind.
