GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing. Anonymity is provided by making messages originating from a peer indistinguishable from messages that the peer is routing. All peers act as routers and use link-encrypted connections with stable bandwidth utilization to communicate with each other. GNUnet uses a simple, excess-based economic model to allocate resources. Peers in GNUnet monitor each others behavior with respect to resource usage; peers that contribute to the network are rewarded with better service.

The biggest change, cryptographic primitives: "GNUnet used RSA 2048 since its inception in 2001, but as of GNUnet 0.10.0, we are powered by Curve25519". This change "breaks backwards compatibility entirely".
Its goals and ways to achieve those seem to be the way to go.
