The 0.8.3 release contains several performance improvements, including reduction of threads and memory usage, and faster I2CP (client-router) communication.

There is also new SSL router console support, a new reseed configuration page including HTTP proxy support for those behind restrictive firewalls, a new I2CP configuration section including I2CP-over-SSL support for remote clients, a new server connection limits and blacklist configuration section for enhanced DoS protection, and a new HTTP proxy jump server configuration section so you may easily add alternative jump servers. Statistics are now limited by default to reduce memory usage; the full set of statistics may be re-enabled on the stats configuration page. There are also bug fixes, of course, so as usual, upgrading is recommended.

Please help grow the network. Get involved, spread the word, and donate! If you find a bug, please enter a report on gitlab. We are still looking for help on new and existing translations. Please volunteer on IRC #i2p.

Files are available on the download page.
