+{% trans -%}
+We have elected to move forward the 2.2.0 release date, which will be occurring today, March 13, 2023.
+This release includes a changes across the NetDB, Floodfill, and Peer-Selection components which improve the ability of the router to survive DDOS attacks.
+The attacks are likely to continue, but the improvements to these systems will help to mitigate the risk of DDOS attacks by helping the router identify and de-prioritize routers that appear malicious.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+This release also adds replay protection to the Streaming subsystem, which prevents an attacker who can capture an encrypted packet from being able to re-use it by sending it to unintended recipients.
+This is a backward-compatible change, so older routers will still be able to use the streaming capabilities of newer routers.
+This issue was discovered and fixed internally, by the I2P development team, and is not related to the DDOS attacks.
+We have never encountered a replayed streaming packet in the wild and do not believe a streaming replay attack has ever taken place against the I2P network at this time.

+As you may have noticed, these release notes and the release itself have been signed by idk, and not zzz.
+zzz has chosen to step away from the project and his responsibilities are being taken on by other team members.
+As such, the project is working on replacing the network statistics infrastructure and moving the development forum to i2pforum.i2p.
+We thank zzz for providing these services for such a long time.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+As usual, we recommend that you update to this release.
+The best way to maintain security and help the network is to run the latest release.
