I2P anonymous network hits 0.7 milestone
I2P, the anonymous peer-to-peer network that’s been quietly lurking in development for over five years, has finally hit its 0.7 milestone, adding a roster of stability and performance improvements.
Then project’s future came into doubt just over a year ago when its founder and key developer, jrandom, mysteriously disappeared. With his identity and whereabouts unknown, the small but steadfast I2P community faced the possibility of stagnation and, potentially, extinction.
Thankfully, a small group of dedicated developers stepped up to the challenge, taking the project to a new host and re-igniting its development.
The newly released 0.7 milestone marks the end of the 0.6 line, which has been in development since 2005.
