body:

Arti is our ongoing project to create an next-generation Tor client

in Rust.  In late November, we released [Arti 1.1.0].  Now we're announcing

the next release in its series, Arti 1.1.1.

Since our last release, our primary focus has been preparation for

onion service support in Arti.  To that end, we've broken the work

down into a [bunch of tickets], designed our [major][tor-hsclient]

[internal][tor-hsservice] [APIs][tor-hscrypto], and started to work on

the lower-level features.  There's nothing you can use here yet, but

the work is coming!

We hope to deliver experimental support for onion service

clients–then, support for running services later in the year.

Finally, we will build the security features allow onion services and

clients to be at least as safe as in C tor.

We've also made a number of other changes, including improved logging

security, new convenience APIs, and better handling of some SOCKS

requests. You can find a more complete list of changes in our

[CHANGELOG].

For more information on using Arti, see our top-level [README],

and the docmentation for the [`arti` binary].

Thanks to everyone who has contributed to this release, including

Alexander Færøy, coral, Dimitris Apostolou, Emil Engler, Jim Newsome,

Michael van Straten, Neel Chauhan, and Trinity Pointard.

Also, our deep thanks to [Zcash Community Grants] for funding the

development of Arti 1.1.1!
