• Added early filtering for inbound traffic and improved filtering performance
• Added per-interface protocol violation tracking
• Added in-flight path requests tracking
• Added request and response batching for in-flight path requests
• Added ability to signal blackholed status in announce validation return to the API
• Added full link MDU utilization for Channel and Buffer

Verified Retrieval
You can retrieve and verify this release over Reticulum using the built-in rngit release utility. To retrieve only the installation .whl package, and the release manifest for future updates, you can use:

rngit release rns://7649a50d84610232d1416b41d2896aff/reticulum/reticulum fetch "latest:rns-*.whl" --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c

To download all artifacts, including the documentation and source archive, you can use the following command:

rngit release rns://7649a50d84610232d1416b41d2896aff/reticulum/reticulum fetch latest:all --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c

Release Signatures
Release artifacts include a signed rsm release manifest and rsg signature files that can be validated against the RNS release signing identity <bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c> using rngit or rnid. To perform an offline verification of all release artifacts using a manifest:

rngit release rns_*.rsm verify --signer bc7291552be7a58f361522990465165c

To verify release artifacts using individual rsg files, while also verifying the manifest itself, download the rsm and 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_*.rsm *.rsg

The rnid utility will then verify the signatures, and display whether they are valid. If the signature cannot be verified, the release has been tampered with and should be discarded.
