### 2026-07-19: RNS 1.3.9
### 2026-07-24: RNS 1.4.1
**Critical Security Update**: This release fixes a severe security flaw in `rnsh`. Due to the nature of the issue, I will not disclose any further details for the time being. Once operators have had time to update, I will provide a full report for transparency. If you use `rnsh`, update **right now**.
This release significantly improves path convergence and stability with the new path re-balancing functionality. It also introduces interface gravity configuration, new API functionality and fixes a range of bugs and inefficiencies.
**Important**: The new version of `rnsh` changes default identity file locations, and these will now be sourced from `~/.rnsh/identity` (initiator) and `~/.rnsh/identity.default` (listener). Make sure you copy your old files to this directory, or specify a custom identity path using the command line arguments. The `--config` argument has also been renamed to `--rnsconfig`, and the `--config` argument will now specify the `rnsh` configuration directory instead of the RNS configuration directory, bringing the behavior into alignment with other RNS utilities.
Additionally, this release includes automated blocking of fast-flapping clients on `BackboneInterface` listeners (see the Interfaces chapter of the manual for details), and a number of improvements to resource handling. The logging system has also been improved, and path and destination information moved to a new `LOG_PATHING` loglevel, to decrease log noise.
**Changes**
- Fixed a critical security issue in `rnsh`
- Added automated blocking of fast-flapping clients to `BackboneInterface`
- Added new `LOG_PATHING` loglevel, improved logging
- Added ability to make internal-mode interfaces discoverable
- Added ability to get discoverable interface location from external script
- Added `RESOURCE_RCL` signal on resource receiver cancel
- Improved resource handling and reliability
- Updated `rnsh` config args to work similarly to other RNS utilities
- Added dynamic path re-balancing
- Added `set_max_request_size` to `Destination` API
- Added `max_response_size` to request API
- Added interface gravity handling
- Added `autoconnect_interface_mode` option
- Added `autoconnect_announces_to_internal` option
- Added `autoconnect_interface_gravity` option
- Added `default_gravity` option
- Added `announces_to_internal` interface option
- Added `gravity` interface option
- Added gravity display and sorting option to `rnstatus`
- Added boundary -> boundary and boundary -> gateway path requests
- Fixed `I2PInterface` tasks getting garbage-collected prematurely, thanks to **welo**
- Fixed various minor bugs in `I2PInterface`
- Fixed ingress control burst active flag deadlocking until new announces arrived under burst timing patterns
- Fixed various memory inefficiencies
- Fixed loglevel `LOG_EXTREME` not being usable in some cases
- Fixed historical interface discoveries not being cleaned according to blackholed identities
**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:

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.
### 2026-07-20: RNS 1.4.0
This release focuses on performance, stability and reliability improvements, particularly with resource-constrained systems in mind. It also fixes several bugs, reduces logging noise, and makes information about blocked `BackboneInterface` clients available in `ifstats`.
**Changes**
- Optimized transport data persistence to avoid CPU spikes on low-powered systems
- Optimized interface hashes calculation and access to reduce overall processing load
- Implemented known destinations cleaning as background priority to avoid lock contention and reduce load on CPU-constrained systems
- Deprecated known destination on-disk recombination on background data persist to alleviate lock contention on CPU-constrained systems
- Implemented caching of invalid discovery stamps to reduce CPU load on low-powered systems
- Implemented valid discovery announce caching and sequential validation lock to reduce processing load on CPU-constrained systems
- Fixed link stale teardown erroneously occurring due to missing keepalive from initiator side when destination continously sends packets but initiator stays silent
- Fixed race condition in link watchdog timing
- Fixed missing None-check in `BackboneInterface` fast-flap detection
- Fixed invalid exception log handler in `BackboneInterface`
- Increased default discovery stamp value to 16
- Added blocked IPs list to ifstats
- Improved backbone interface logging
- Reduced overall logging noise
