Original source

Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation in Rust. We're happy to announce the latest release, Arti 2.2.0.

This release adds support for using HTTP CONNECT rather than SOCKS, when connecting to the Tor network via Arti. This previously-experimental feature is now included a full build, and will then be enabled by default. The HTTP CONNECT protocol is available over the same port as SOCKS.

The RPC client library (arti-rpc-client-core) now supports non-blocking requests, and integration with application event loops. And the RPC system now supports administrative access to the Arti instance, via a new "superuser" facility.

We also fixed a low-severity security issue, TROVE-2026-005, which would somewhat weaken DoS resistance in in certain unusual embedded build configurations.

Behind the scenes we have been working on relay support, including relay channels and circuits, and directory server functionality (mirrors and authorities). As ever there are also lots of bugfixes, cleanups, and test and CI improvements.

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, including hjrgrn, HydroxideUnlaced, Nihal, and Tobias Stoeckmann.

Also, our deep thanks to our sponsors for funding the development of Arti!

New features

Automatic Tor bridges

You can now learn about Tor bridges directly from the Tor Connection assistant in Tails.

Tor bridges are secret Tor relays that hide that you are connecting to Tor. If connecting to Tor is blocked from where you are, you can use a bridge as your first Tor relay to circumvent this censorship.

In Tails 7.6, choose Connect to Tor automatically when opening Tor Connection. If access to the Tor network is blocked, the bridge configuration screen offers a new option called Ask for a Tor bridge based on your region.

This feature uses the same technology as the connection assistant in Tor Browser outside of Tails, which was introduced in Tor Browser 11.5 (July 2022).

Tails downloads information about bridges that are most likely to work in your region from the Moat API of the Tor Project. To circumvent censorship, this connection is disguised as a connection to another website using domain fronting.

GNOME Secrets

In Tails 7.6, the Secrets password manager replaces KeePassXC.

Secrets has a simpler interface and is better integrated in the GNOME desktop. For example, accessibility features, such as the screen keyboard and cursor size, are working again with Secrets.

Secrets offers to unlock your previous KeePassXC database automatically, because both Secrets and KeePassXC use the same file format to store passwords.

If you miss more advanced features from KeePassXC, you can install KeePassXC as additional software.

The main keyboard shortcuts of Secrets are similar to the ones of KeePassXC, with Shift in addition to Ctrl:

• Shift+Ctrl+C: copy password
• Shift+Ctrl+V: copy address
• Shift+Ctrl+B: copy username
• Shift+Ctrl+T: copy one-time password

To see the full list of keyboard shortcuts of Secrets, press Ctrl+?.

Changes and updates

• Update Electrum from 4.5.8 to 4.7.0.
• Update Tor Browser to 15.0.8.
• Update Thunderbird to 140.8.0.
• Update most firmware packages. This improves support for newer hardware: graphics, Wi-Fi, and so on.

Fixed problems

• Translate the confirmation dialog that appears before saving the language and keyboard layout on the USB stick. (#21448)
• Fix the Learn More button in the Thunderbird migration notification. (#21455)
• Fix automated upgrades in Turkish. (#21466)

For more details, read our changelog.

Arti 2.1.0

Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation in Rust. We're happy to announce the latest release, Arti 2.1.0.

This release contains a lot of behind-the-scenes work on relay support and on RPC development. While Arti still cannot run as a relay, we are making good progress, and we think it will soon be ready for Arti 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 make defining new configuration types easier, saving us development time in 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, including Niel 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!
