    More strict exploit mitigation Stable

    PeterSurda released this 2018-02-14 00:24:14 +01:00 | 1433 commits to v0.6 since this release

    This version is an update on 0.6.3 with a more strict exploit mitigation code. Users of 0.6.2 should either upgrade to 0.6.3.2 or downgrade to 0.6.1.

    February 16th: Windows binary available, signed both with a code signing key and a GPG key. Note: there won't be a 64bit Windows binary for 0.6.3.2 due to a lack of time. The new network subsystem has significantly improved CPU and memory requirements so you shouldn't be running low on memory even with the 32bit binary.

    February 17th: OSX binary available, only GPG signed, will be released code signed in the near future.

    February 19th: OSX code signing delayed for a couple of days for technical reasons.

    Emergency release to fix an exploitable bug Stable

    PeterSurda released this 2018-02-13 17:17:11 +01:00 | 1435 commits to v0.6 since this release

    Version 0.6.2 has a bug that can be exploited for remote code execution. This is an emergency release, and 0.6.4 will be released in a couple of days with cleanup originally intended for 0.6.3, and full release notes. Everyone who uses 0.6.2 should upgrade (or, if upgrade is not possible, downgrade).

    Apart from the emergency fix, this release contains a new network subsystem which requires less resources (CPU and memory) and the Dandelion++ protocol extension for enhanced privacy.

    Windows and OSX binaries follow soon.
