  50  ```
  51  
  52  ### 2025-05-09: RNS β 0.9.5
  53  
  54  This release initiates migration of Reticulum from AES-128 to AES-256 as the default link and packet cipher mode. It is a compatibility/migration release, that while supporting AES-256 doesn't use it by default. It will work with both the old AES-128 based modes, and the new AES-256 based modes. There's a very slight penalty in performance to support both the old and new modes at the same time, but only for single packet APIs (not links), and it really shouldn't be noticeable in any everyday use.
  55  
  56  In the next release, version `0.9.6`, Reticulum will transition fully to AES-256 and use it by default for all communications. That means that both single packets and links will use AES-256 by default. The old AES-128 link mode may or may not be available for a few releases, but will ultimately be phased out entirely.
  57  
  58  The update requires no intervention, configuration changes or anything similar from a users or developers perspective. Everything should simply work. This goes both for the `0.9.5` update, and the next `0.9.6` update that transitions fully to AES-256.
  59  
  60  **Changes**
  61  - Added support for AES-256 mode to links and packets
  62  - Added dynamic link mode support
  63  - Added temporary backwards compatibility for AES-128 link and packet modes
  64  - Added `get_mode()` method to link API
  65  - Added tests for all enabled link modes
  66  - Added `instance_name` option and description to default config file
  67  - Improved ratchet persist reliability if Reticulum is force killed while persisting ratchets
  68  - Fixed interface string representation for some interfaces
  69  - Fixed instance name config option being overwritten if option was not last in section
  70  - Fixed unhandled potential exception on fast-flapping `BackboneInterface` connections

 157  
 158  ### 2025-01-17: RNS β 0.9.0
 159  
 160  This release lays the groundwork for future performance and resource utilisation optimisations. Most importantly, this release adds **link MTU autodiscovery**, which allow established links to use much higher MTUs than the base MTU of 500 bytes.
 161  
 162  **Please note!** To actually use link MTU discovery, all transport nodes along the path must be upgraded to at least version `0.9.0`. Since this is the first release to add support for this feature, *it is currently **not** activated by default*, and no clients or applications will use it yet. Using link MTU autodiscovery by default will be enabled by default in RNS version `0.9.1`. Please upgrade your nodes!
 163  
 164  Additionally, this release adds several new features, performance improvements and bug fixes, as well as support for RNodes running firmware version `1.81`.
 165

 412  
 413  ### 2024-09-09: RNS β 0.7.7
 414  
 415  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.
 416  
 417  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.
 418  
 419  **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`.
 420  
 421  Thanks to @deavmi, @faragher, @jacobeva, @jeremy and @jeremybox for contributing to this release!
 422  
 423  **Changes**
 424  - Added key ratchet rotation and signalling

1437  This is a major release of Reticulum, including a range of stability and performance improvements, along with important new features, expanding the connectivity of Reticulum.
1438  
1439  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.
1440  
1441  **Improvements**
1442   - Added new AutoInterface as default interface for new installs
1443   - Serial port interfaces now automatically attempt to reconnect devices that are unplugged and replugged

1464  
1465  ### 2021-10-10: RNS β 0.2.8
1466  
1467  This beta release brings a single, but important improvement. Paths are now updated much more fluidly for peers moving around the network.
1468  
1469  Since updates were made to how tunnels and path table entries are represented in this release, it is recommended to delete the following files on Transport Nodes:
1470  
1471  ~/.reticulum/storage/destination_table
1472  ~/.reticulum/storage/packet_hashlist
1473  ~/.reticulum/storage/tunnels
1474  ~/.reticulum/storage/cache/*
1475  
1476  The files will be recreated when Reticulum is started.
1477  
1478  **Improvements**
1479   - Improved path updates for peers moving around the network
1480

1560  ### 2021-08-21: RNS β 0.2.2
1561  
1562  This beta release brings several new features to Reticulum along with two bugfixes.
1563  
1564  IMPORTANT! This version breaks wire-format compatibility with all previous versions of Reticulum. You must update *all* of your nodes at the same time.
1565  
1566  **New features**
1567   - 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.
1568   - Requests and responses of arbitrary sizes can now be carried out over links.
1569   - UDP and TCP interfaces can now be bound to network device names (eth0, wlan0, etc.) instead of manually specifying listen IPs.
1570  
1571  **Fixed bugs**
1572   - Fixed a race condition in outbound transport packet filtering.
1573   - Fixed an issue where local UDP broadcast echoes could get processed as inbound packets.
1574  
1575  ### 2021-05-20: RNS β 0.2.1
1576  
1577  This beta release sees significant improvements to bandwidth utilization and efficiency, while improving security by dropping RSA and moving completely to Curve25519.
1578  
1579  - All asymmetric cryptography migrated to X25519/Ed25519. This has greatly improved efficiency and reduced protocol overhead significantly.
1580  - Work has continued on the documentation, and the "Understanding Reticulum" chapters have been improved significantly in this release.
1581  - Class methods dealing with setting callbacks have been renamed to be more intuitive.
1582  
1583  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.
1584  
1585  ### 2021-05-18: RNS β 0.2.0
1586  
1587  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.
