RNS β 0.8.6

This release adds full interface modularity and custom interface loading to RNS. Users can now easily create and use their own custom interfaces for communicating over practically anything. Support for IPv6 has also been added to the TCP-based interfaces.

In addition, several bugs have been fixed, and various internal improvements to code consistency and naming conventions have been carried out.

Thanks to @gretel and @deavmi, who contributed to this release!

Changes

• Added ability to load and configure custom, user-supplied interfaces
• Added IPv6 support to TCPClientInterface and TCPServerInterface
• Added an init option to the API for requiring an existing shared instance
• Changed rnstatus behaviour to only show status if Reticulum is already running
• Fixed KISSInterface beacon length for compatibility with software modems
• Fixed interface client count sometimes reporting incorrect values on TCP and I2P interfaces
• Refactored and improved interface initialisation and configuration handling
• Refactored interface code to be more consistent
• Refactored various deprecated references and names
• Updated documentation and manual

RNS β 0.7.7

This release adds support for automatic encryption key ratcheting for all packets, not just those sent over Reticulum links. In practical terms, this adds forward secrecy to packets sent with the raw Packet API.

In this release, the ratchets feature must be enabled on a per-destination basis by calling the enable_ratchets method on the relevant destination. In a future release, ratchets may become the default option, but for backwards-compatibility, it is currently optional. For more information, read the API documentation.

Please note! Versions of RNS prior to 0.7.7 will not be able to pass announces for destinations with ratchets enabled! If you use applications that can use ratchets (for example, LXMF version 0.5.0 and up), it is important that you update all transport instances on your network to 0.7.7.

Thanks to @deavmi, @faragher, @jacobeva, @jeremy and @jeremybox for contributing to this release!

Changes

• Added key ratchet rotation and signalling
• Added ratchet API to documentation
• Added initial support for flashing T-Echo devices to rnodeconf
• Added remote management config options to example config
• Added automtic integration tests to source repository
• Fixed a regression that caused RNS not to work on Python versions lower than 3.10
• Fixed missing establishment_rate property init on Link objects
