Kettled twice. Extra chewy, extra trustworthy.
Summary
WireGuard developer Jason Donenfeld announces the release of WireGuardNT v0.11 and WireGuard for Windows v0.6 after a long period without updates. The release includes both the low-level kernel driver (WireGuardNT) and higher-level management software with command line utilities. The announcement explains that while the built-in updater typically handles notifications, this release warranted a special announcement due to the extended time since the last update and recent news coverage. The post serves as a technical update for the WireGuard community about Windows client improvements.
Key quotes
· 3 pulledI generally don't send announcement emails for the Windows software, because the built-in updater takes care of notifying the relevant users.
After a lot of hardwork, we've released an updated Windows client, both the low level kernel driver and api harness, called WireGuardNT, and the higher level management software, command line utilities.
But because this hasn't been updated in so long, and because of recent news articles, I thought it'd be a good idea to notify the list.
