{%- endtrans %}

{% trans -%}
We fixed several bugs in the i2psnark DHT implementation that was introduced
last release. For those of you using console or http proxy passwords,
we converted to the more-secure digest method and improved the security for console forms.

{% trans -%}
For those of you already running development builds, your router should automatically
update to 0.9.4-0 using the new in-network torrent facility.
For those running 0.9.3-0, you will update normally using in-network HTTP, and
we will have more information for you when we release 0.9.5.
