-
-{% trans -%}
-An event months in the making, Bitcoin Core has added official support for I2P!
-Bitcoin-over-I2P nodes can interact fully with the rest of the Bitcoin nodes,
-using the help of nodes that operate within both I2P and the clearnet, making
-them first-class participants in the Bitcoin network. It's exciting to see
-large communities like Bitcoin taking notice of the advantages I2P can bring
-to them providing privacy and reachability to people all over the world.
-{%- endtrans %}
-
-{% trans -%}
-How it Works
-{%- endtrans %}
-------------
-
-{% trans -%}
-I2P support is automatic, via the SAM API. This is also exciting news, because
-it highlights some of the things I2P is singularly good at, like empowering 
-application developers to build I2P connections programmatically and
-conveniently. Bitcoin-over-I2P users can use I2P with no manual configuration by
-enabling the SAM API and running Bitcoin with I2P enabled.
-{%- endtrans %}

-Configuring your I2P Router
-{%- endtrans %}
----------------------------
-
-{% trans -%}
-In order to set up an I2P Router to provide anonymous connectivity to bitcoin,
-the SAM API needs to be enabled. In Java I2P, you should go to `http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients
-<http://127.0.0.1:7657/configclients>`_. and start the SAM Application Bridge
-with the "Start" button. You may also want to enable the SAM Application Bridge
-by default by checking the "Run at Startup" box and clicking "Save Client
-Configuration."
-{%- endtrans %}
-
-{% trans -%}
-On i2pd, the SAM API is normally enabled by default, but if it isn't, you should
-set::
-
-  sam.enabled=true
-
-in your i2pd.conf file.
-{%- endtrans %}
-
-{% trans -%}
-Configuring your Bitcoin Node for Anonymity and Connectivity
-{%- endtrans %}
-------------------------------------------------------------
-
-{% trans -%}
-Getting Bitcoin itself launched in an anonyous mode still requires editing some
-configuration files in the Bitcoin Data Directory, which is %APPDATA%\Bitcoin on
-Windows, ~/.bitcoin on Linux, and ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/ on Mac
-OSX. It also requires at least version 22.0.0 for I2P support to be present. 
-After following the following instructions, you should have a private Bitcoin
-node which uses I2P for I2P connections, and Tor for .onion and clearnet
-connections, so that all your connections are anonymized. For convenience,
-Windows users should open their Bitcoin Data Directory by opening the start menu
-and searching for "Run." Inside the run prompt, type "%APPDATA%\Bitcoin" and
-press enter.
-{%- endtrans %}
-
-{% trans -%}
-In that directory create a file called "i2p.conf." On Windows, you should make
-sure that you've add quotes around the file when you save it, in order to
-prevent Windows from adding a default file extension to the file. The file
-should contain the following I2P-Related Bitcoin configuration options::
-
-  i2psam=127.0.0.1:7656
-  i2pacceptincoming=true
-  onlynet=i2p
-
-Next, you should create another file called "tor.conf." The file should contain
-the following Tor related configuration options::
-
-  proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
-  onion=127.0.0.1:9050
-  onlynet=tor
-
-Finally, you'll need to "Include" these configuration options in your Bitcoin
-configuration file, called "bitcoin.conf" in the Data Directory. Add these two
-lines to your bitcoin.conf file::
-
-  includeconf=i2p.conf
-  includeconf=tor.conf
-
-Now your Bitcoin node is configured to only use anonymous connections. In order
-to enable direct connections to remote nodes, remove the lines beginning in::
-
-  onlynet=
-
-You can do this if you do not require your Bitcoin node to be anonymous, and
-it helps anonymous users connect to the rest of the Bitcoin network.

+
+{% trans -%}
+A few months ago we released new packages which we hoped would help with onboarding new
+people to the I2P network by making the installation and configuration of I2P easier for
+more people. We removed dozens of steps from the installation process by switching from
+an external JVM to a Jpackage, built standard packages for target operating systems, and
+signed them in a way the operating system would recognize to keep the user secure. Since
+then, the jpackage routers have reached a new milestone, they are about to recieve their
+first incremental updates. These updates will replace the JDK 16 jpackage with an updated
+JDK 17 jpackage and provide fixes for some small bugs which we caught after the release.
