This beta release sees significant improvements to bandwidth utilization and efficiency, while improving security by dropping RSA and moving completely to Curve25519.
- All asymmetric cryptography migrated to X25519/Ed25519. This has greatly improved efficiency and reduced protocol overhead significantly.
- Work has continued on the documentation, and the "Understanding Reticulum" chapters have been improved significantly in this release.
- Class methods dealing with setting callbacks have been renamed to be more intuitive.
As a few examples of the improved efficiency, a complete link establishment now only costs 240 bytes, down from 409 in the previous RSA version. An announce takes up 151 bytes vs 323.
