Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation inRust. We're happy to announce the latest release, Arti 2.1.0.This release contains a lot of behind-the-scenes work on relay supportand on RPC development. While Arti still cannot run as a relay,we are making good progress, and we think it will soon be ready forArti developers to test it as a middle relay.Additionally, we have overhauled all of Arti's configuration to use a new,derive-deftly-based approach. We believe this will makedefining new configuration types easier, saving us development timein the long run.This release also contains a number of bugfixes, cleanups,as well as improvements to our CI infrastructure.Finally, Arti 2.1.0 increases our MSRV (Minimum Supported Rust Version)to 1.89.0, in accordance with our MSRV policy.For full details on what we've done, including API changes,and for information about many more minor and less-visible changes,please see the CHANGELOG.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, includingNiel Duysters, Nihal, Nuhiat-Arefin, Robert Bartlensky, carti-it, hjrgrn,moumenalaoui, robertb, and sjcobb!Also, our deep thanks to our sponsors for funding the development of Arti! announcements releases
