 ### 2024-09-09: RNS β 0.7.7
 
 This release adds support for automatic encryption key ratcheting for all packets, not just those sent over Reticulum links. In practical terms, this adds forward secrecy to packets sent with the raw `Packet` API.

 ## Notable Features
 - Coordination-less globally unique addressing and identification
-- Fully self-configuring multi-hop routing
+- Fully self-configuring multi-hop routing over heterogeneous carriers
 - Initiator anonymity, communicate without revealing your identity
+  - Reticulum does not include source addresses on any packets
 - Asymmetric X25519 encryption and Ed25519 signatures as a basis for all communication
-- Forward Secrecy with ephemeral Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman keys on Curve25519
+  - The foundational Reticulum Identity Keys are 512-bit Elliptic Curve keysets
+- Forward Secrecy is available for all communication types, both for single packets and over links
 - Reticulum uses the following format for encrypted tokens:
-  - Keys are ephemeral and derived from an ECDH key exchange on Curve25519
+  - Ephemeral per-packet and link keys and derived from an ECDH key exchange on Curve25519
   - AES-128 in CBC mode with PKCS7 padding
   - HMAC using SHA256 for authentication
   - IVs are generated through os.urandom()
 - Unforgeable packet delivery confirmations
-- A variety of supported interface types
+- A large variety of supported interface types
 - An intuitive and easy-to-use API
 - Reliable and efficient transfer of arbitrary amounts of data
   - Reticulum can handle a few bytes of data or files of many gigabytes
-  - Sequencing, transfer coordination and checksumming are automatic
+  - Sequencing, compression, transfer coordination and checksumming are automatic
   - The API is very easy to use, and provides transfer progress
 - Lightweight, flexible and expandable Request/Response mechanism
 - Efficient link establishment
