markqvist/Reticulum 1.2.4

RNS 1.2.4

on GitHub

This release brings a complete rewrite and update to the rnid utility, which is now a lot more useful, and better at finding and saving identities. It also includes a bunch of other improvements, such as expanded rngit functionality, better transport performance and a few bugfixes. Enjoy!

Unless something really crazy happens, this will probably be the last release that is also published to GitHub, since everything can now run over Reticulum itself. Updates to pip will continue at least until rnpkg is complete, and RNS is completely self-hosting.

Release Signatures
Release artifacts include rsg signature files that can be validated against the RNS release signing identity <bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c> using rnid. To verify files, download the rsg signatures, make sure they are in the same folder as the release artifact, and run rnid signature verification with the release identity as the required signer:

rnid -i bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c -V rns-1.2.4-py3-none-any.whl

The rnid utility will then verify the signatures, and display whether it is valid. If the signature cannot be verified, the file has been tampered with and should be thrown very far away in a jiffy.

This is the first release using the new rsg signature format, and you will need this latest version of RNS to verify them. Ironic, I know, but that's how it is. Since release file hashes are now embbeded in the rsg signatures, this is the last release that will explicitly post the raw release hashes. Verifying with rnid is much more effective, since it ensures all data was signed by the release identity.
