+### 2024-05-05: RNS β 0.7.4
+
+This maintenance release fixes a number of bugs, improves path requests and responses, and adds several useful features and capabilities. Thanks to @cobraPA, @jschulthess, @thiaguetz and @nothingbutlucas who contributed to this release!
+
+**Changes**
+- Added support for flashing and autoinstalling Heltec V3 boards to `rnodeconf`
+- Added custom EEPROM bootstrapping capabilities to `rnodeconf`
+- Added ability to load identities from file to Echo and Link examples
+- Added ability to specify multicast address type in AutoInterface configuration
+- Added link getter to resource advertisement class
+- Improved path response logic and timing
+- Improved path request timing
+- Fixed a bug in Link Request proof delivery on unknown hop count paths
+- Fixed broken link packet routing in topologies where transport packets leak to non-intended instances in the link chain
+- Fixed typos in documentation
+
+**Release Hashes**

 ## Writing Code
 
-If you are interested in contributing code, fixing open issues or adding features, please coordinate the effort with the maintainer or one of the main developers first, to ensure your efforts are in alignment with the [Roadmap](./Roadmap.md) and current development focus.
+If you are interested in contributing code, fixing open issues or adding features, please coordinate the effort with the maintainer or one of the main developers **before** submitting a pull request. Before deciding to contribute, it is also a good idea to ensure your efforts are in alignment with the [Roadmap](./Roadmap.md) and current development focus.
+
+Pull requests have a high chance of being accepted if they are:
+
+- In alignment with the [Roadmap](./Roadmap.md) or solve an open issue or feature request
+- Sufficiently tested to work with all API functions, and pass the standard test suite
+- Functionally and conceptually complete and well-designed
+- Not simply formatting or code style changes
+- Well-documented
+
+Even new ideas and proposals that have not been approved by a maintainer, or fall outside the established roadmap, are *occasionally* accepted - if they possess the remaining of the above qualities. If not, they will be closed and removed without comments or explanation.

 Connecting Reticulum Instances Over the Internet
 ================================================
 Reticulum currently offers two interfaces suitable for connecting instances over the Internet: :ref:`TCP<interfaces-tcps>`

 The ``TCPServerInterface`` allows users to host an instance accessible over TCP/IP. This
 method is generally faster, lower latency, and more energy efficient than using ``I2PInterface``,
 however it also leaks more data about the server host.
 
 TCP connections reveal the IP address of both your instance and the server to anyone who can

+inspect the connection. Someone could use this information to determine your location or identity. Adversaries
 inspecting your packets may be able to record packet metadata like time of transmission and packet size.
 Even though Reticulum encrypts traffic, TCP does not, so an adversary may be able to use
 packet inspection to learn that a system is running Reticulum, and what other IP addresses connect to it.
 Hosting a publicly reachable instance over TCP also requires a publicly reachable IP address,
 which most Internet connections don't offer anymore.

 Connecting Reticulum Instances Over the Internet
 ================================================
 Reticulum currently offers two interfaces suitable for connecting instances over the Internet: :ref:`TCP<interfaces-tcps>`

 The ``TCPServerInterface`` allows users to host an instance accessible over TCP/IP. This
 method is generally faster, lower latency, and more energy efficient than using ``I2PInterface``,
 however it also leaks more data about the server host.
 
 TCP connections reveal the IP address of both your instance and the server to anyone who can

+inspect the connection. Someone could use this information to determine your location or identity. Adversaries
 inspecting your packets may be able to record packet metadata like time of transmission and packet size.
 Even though Reticulum encrypts traffic, TCP does not, so an adversary may be able to use
 packet inspection to learn that a system is running Reticulum, and what other IP addresses connect to it.
 Hosting a publicly reachable instance over TCP also requires a publicly reachable IP address,
 which most Internet connections don't offer anymore.
