2022-05-29: RNS β 0.3.7

This release comes with a big upgrade to reliability and resilience, with lots of small bug fixes and improvements, along with some significant new additions and features. The documentation and API reference has also seen several improvements for clarity.

Users of I2P interfaces will see big improvements in reliability with better handling of errors from the I2P SAM API, and much better automatic recovery when I2P connectivity is intermittent.

Reticulum is now able to perform network-wide discovery of unknown paths, using the new Gateway interface mode. The stability of established links has also been improved by using a better timeout calculation method.

It is also worth mentioning the addition of the two new utilities, rncp and rnx, that allow you to transfer files to remote systems, and perform remote command execution.

Please Note! For using 64-bit IFACs on RNode hardware, your RNodes must be running at least firmware version 1.28.

An important improvement in this release is the addition of the AutoInterface, that will now be configured as the default interface on new installs. This interface automatically meshes with other Reticulum peers over any available system network devices, and doesn't require any existing IP infrastructure like a DHCP server or a router. For more information, consult the relevant section of the manual.

~/.reticulum/storage/destination_table ~/.reticulum/storage/packet_hashlist ~/.reticulum/storage/tunnels ~/.reticulum/storage/cache/*

The files will be recreated when Reticulum is started.

This beta release brings several new features to Reticulum along with two bugfixes.

IMPORTANT! This version breaks wire-format compatibility with all previous versions of Reticulum. You must update all of your nodes at the same time.

New features

Link initiators can now identify to the remote peer over the link, once it has been set up. This can be used for authentication, amongst other things.
Requests and responses of arbitrary sizes can now be carried out over links.
UDP and TCP interfaces can now be bound to network device names (eth0, wlan0, etc.) instead of manually specifying listen IPs.

Fixed bugs

Fixed a race condition in outbound transport packet filtering.
Fixed an issue where local UDP broadcast echoes could get processed as inbound packets.

2021-05-20: RNS β 0.2.1

This beta release sees significant improvements to bandwidth utilization and efficiency, while improving security by dropping RSA and moving completely to Curve25519.

All asymmetric cryptography migrated to X25519/Ed25519. This has greatly improved efficiency and reduced protocol overhead significantly.
Work has continued on the documentation, and the "Understanding Reticulum" chapters have been improved significantly in this release.
Class methods dealing with setting callbacks have been renamed to be more intuitive.

As a few examples of the improved efficiency, a complete link establishment now only costs 240 bytes, down from 409 in the previous RSA version. An announce takes up 151 bytes vs 323.

2021-05-18: RNS β 0.2.0

This is the first beta release of RNS. This release also marks the publication of the Reticulum documentation, manual, and API documentation. All core features of Reticulum are now implemented, functional and ready to use in external programs. The wire-format and API will only change if there is a very good reason, though internals are still likely to be altered and optimised, and features are likely to be added.
