Arti 2.7.0 released

by opara | October 1, 2026

Arti is our ongoing project to create a next-generation Tor implementation in Rust. We're happy to announce the latest release, Arti 2.7.0.

This release continues our ongoing development towards using Arti as a relay and as a directory authority, with much of the work focusing on document parsing, directory mirror support, and DNS stream handling. Additionally, arti now has RPC support for modifying and inspecting its configuration.

This release has a number of fixes for low- to high-severity security issues. We encourage arti, arti-client, and arti-ureq users, especially those running onion services, to upgrade as soon as possible.

As usual, there also are many under-the-hood improvements to our infrastructure, testing, and documentation, along with multiple bug fixes and internal cleanups.

For full details on what we've done, including API changes, security fixes, and for information about many more minor and less-visible changes, please see the CHANGELOG.

For more information on using Arti, see our top-level README, and the documentation for the arti binary.

Thanks to everybody who's contributed to this release, including Gaith Hallak, iqdecay, manthan-lab, and pryty26.

Also, our deep thanks to our sponsors for funding the development of Arti!
