+### 2023-02-04: RNS β 0.4.8
+
+This release introduces the useful `rnid` utility, which makes it possible to use Reticulum Identities for offline file encryption, decryption, signing and validation. The IFAC system has also been significantly improved, and several outdated parts of the documentation was updated and fixed. Thanks to @Erethon and @jooray who contributed to this release!
+
+**Changes**
+- Added header and payload masking to the IFAC system
+- Added `rnid` utility for encrypting, decrypting, signing and validating with Reticulum Identities
+- Added Bluetooth pairing PIN output to `rnodeconf` utility
+- Fixed a bug in announce callback handling
+- Fixed a inconsistency in header flag handling since IFACs were introduced
+- Updated documentation and manual
