v0.9.1

The main features of this release are:

• explicit unregister command for mixnodes
• introduced gateway client reconnection in case of obvious network failures
• changed network monitor to send at a constant, adjustable, rate
• changed the way in which packets are delayed by mixnodes that should reduce number of tasks spawned
• changed the way in which packets are forwarded to further mixes that should get rid of possible blocking

See the changelog for detailed release notes.

v0.8.1

v0.8.1 (2020-09-28)

Full Changelog

Closed issues:

• Hardcode two gateways for client init if none provided #352
• Make mixnodes take layer with fewest nodes #351
• Change default presence/metrics interval for mixnodes/gateways #349
• Mixnodes should only be able to enter layers 1, 2, or 3 #348
• Docs are inaccurate #337
• Figure out the cause of high packet loss on testnet #159
• Change Topology to GraphTopology #76

Merged pull requests:

• Feature/wasm update #341 (jstuczyn)

v0.8.0

This release introduces, among other things, the following improvements:

• SURB-acks for significant boost to the mixnet messaging reliability,
• SURB-replies for allowing for anonymous replies,
• SOCKS5 proxying capabilities,
• replacing the AuthToken with a shared key derived between client and its gateway,
• encryption and tagging of mix messages exchanged between client and its gateway,
• end-to-end encryption of traffic between clients,
• general performance and reliability improvements.

v0.7.0

The main features of v0.7.0 are:

• the addition of gateway nodes
• the retiring of the store-and-forward providers in favour of gateway nodes
• got rid of TCP connections for clients, everything now happens through websockets
• a new Nym webassembly client, making it possible interact with Nym easily in browser-based runtimes
• reliability and performance improvements for mixnode networking
• initial validator code running (little functionality yet though)

Upgrading mixnodes from 0.6.x

If you are already running an earlier version of the Nym mixnode, you will need to re-initialize your node. It's safe to do this at present, as mixnode keys are currently short-lived.

nym-mixnode init --id <your-id> --host <your-public-ip> --layer 1 --location YourCity

See the changelog for detailed release notes.

v0.6.0

See the changelog for detailed release notes.

v0.5.0

See the changelog for detailed release notes. But the basic improvements are:

• persistent TCP connections for higher throughput
• persistent (and much more detailed) configuration files for clients, mixnodes, and providers

v0.4.0

Nym 0.4.0 Platform

In this release, we're taking a lot more care with version numbers, so that we can ensure upgrade compatibility for mixnodes, providers, clients, and validators more easily.

This release also integrates a health-checker and network topology refresh into the Nym client, so that the client can intelligently choose paths which route around any non-functional or incompatible nodes.
