Privacy tooling dominates the wire again. Four of seven releases touch privacy infrastructure: haveno ships peer identity verification against known key rings and updates Tor Browser to 15.0.13, Bisq 2 hardens dependency verification with checksum gating and pinned classifiers, dnscrypt-proxy stops caching dashboard HTML to prevent stale content after upgrades. Mostrix 0.2.0 appears with no detail beyond GPG verification instructions. AI releases are maintenance: LocalAI fixes a kokoros backend build break from trait drift, llama.cpp patches cmake UI builds and adds macOS KleidiAI support. Nostr logs Nostur 497 with no changelog. The pattern holds from last week: privacy tools under active hardening, AI backends addressing build tooling, Nostr quiet.

Privacy

Peer identity verification now checked against known key rings. Tor Browser updated to 15.0.13, binary to 0.4.9.8. Operators should upgrade for the identity verification change.

  • Bisq 2 2.1.11. Release notes Security And Release Integrity - Dependency verification is much stricter: checksum-only artifacts are gated, verification metadata XML parsing is hardened, source artifacts are covered, and executable p…

Dependency verification tightened significantly. Checksum-only artifacts gated, XML parsing hardened, source artifacts covered, Windows protobuf classifiers pinned. Upgrade if building from source or running reproducible builds.

  • Mostrix 0.2.0. Verifying the Release In order to verify the release, you’ll need to have gpg or gpg2 installed on your system.
  • dnscrypt-proxy 2.1.16. Version 2.1.16 - Dashboard HTML pages are no longer cached, preventing stale content from being served after upgrades.

Dashboard pages no longer cached. Prevents stale UI after upgrades. Minor fix.

AI

Fixes a build break in the kokoros backend. Update if running that backend and building from source.

  • llama.cpp b9305. cmake : fix ui build ( 23592) cmake/ui : add -fPIC to llama-ui static lib cmake : rename host compiled embed helper macOS/iOS: - macOS Apple Silicon (arm64) - macOS Apple Silicon (arm64, KleidiAI enabled) - macOS Inte…

Fixes cmake UI build. Adds macOS KleidiAI support. Update if building the UI or running macOS arm64 with KleidiAI.
