Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor client in
Rust. Now we’re announcing the latest release, Arti 1.2.2.
This release continues improvements to the security of onion services
(for example, Arti now supports Vanguards for improved security
against guard discovery for onion service circuits).
It also fixes a few bugs, such as #1379.
Even more security improvements are on the way.
See doc/OnionService.md for instructions and caveats about running
onion services with Arti today.
Also,
we’ve overhauled the configuration reader to use figment,
and
we’re picking up the pace on the planned RPC system,
which will allow Arti to be managed and controlled programmatically.
For more information on using Arti, see our top-level README, and the
documentation for the arti binary.
Thanks to everybody who’s contributed to this release, including
Alexander Færøy, Jim Newsome, Richard Pospesel, trinity-1686a,
Wiktor Kwapisiewicz, and VaiTon.
Also, our deep thanks to Zcash Community Grants and our other sponsors
for funding the development of Arti!
