Week 36 2026 (Mon Aug 31 - Fri Sep 04, 2026)

Our Mix transport now has packet retransmissions, push-based SURB replenishment, and remote session and stream cleanup. Testing under adverse network scenarios shows it works.
We published our research on time-based path selection for hidden services and incorporated the resulting strategy into the draft path selection spec.
Storage Module v2.1.3 and Storage UI v2.1.3 are out. Download progress now includes total bytes.
