Tor ☛ Arti 1.7.0 released: Onion service restricted discovery, experimental HTTP proxy, relay development, and more.
Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation in Rust. We're happy to announce the latest release, Arti 1.7.0.
Arti 1.7.0 stabilizes the onion service restricted discovery feature, previously known as "client authorization". This requires Arti to be built with the restricted-discovery feature enabled, and for the appropriate configuration options to be enabled and configured for the onion service.

Robert Greiner ☛ The Internet's Forgotten Superpower
SPAs broke the browser’s most fundamental contract: refresh should restore, not destroy. The back button should remember. A link should mean something.
Instead, we got applications where your filters vanish on reload. Where sharing your screen means sending a link to a useless homepage, then giving verbal directions. Where analytics teams write custom JavaScript to manually fire events every time the URL changes. Except half the time the URL doesn’t change because updating it is “extra work.”
