Noscrypt is a C-based cryptographic library tailored for Nostr applications. This release introduces versioned CI builds using a new semver format, modernizes Windows crypto API usage, and improves build configurations through updated Taskfiles and CMakePresets. It also updates mbedTLS to 3.6.3.1 and refreshes .NET dependencies for its wrapper. These changes enhance development workflow, ensure better compatibility, and lay groundwork for more stable builds in future updates.

Rust Nostr is a high-level Rust library for building Nostr clients and services. This release brings major protocol updates, including a reworked NIP-46 module and a switch to NIP-44 encryption. It adds support for NIP-73 blockchain addresses, new crates for MLS messaging and storage, and relay monitoring. Deprecated protocols and outdated encryption methods were dropped, improving security, modularity, and compatibility with the evolving Nostr ecosystem.

This starter project helps developers easily build Nostr-based applications using Spring Boot. This releases adds support for encrypted payloads (NIP-44) and gift wrap events (NIP-59), along with better handling of events missing tags. These enhancements simplify building secure, standards-compliant Nostr apps in Java while improving event filtering reliability.

Mostro Core is a Rust-based library that provides peer-to-peer and cryptographic functionality for decentralized applications, forming the foundation for the Mostro daemon. This release introduces encrypted database columns, enhances password handling and privacy logic, and adds a new, more readable crypto.rs module. Improvements also include refined encryption/decryption functions, better memory settings for Argon2, and smarter caching of identity keys. These updates boost security, reliability, and maintainability for developers building on the Mostro protocol.
