  • The Tor Project is transitioning from C to Rust for improved memory safety with Arti.
  • Arti 1.8.0 introduces usage-based circuit timeouts to prevent predictable patterns and reduce fingerprinting risks.
  • New experimental command 'arti hsc ctor-migrate' helps onion service operators migrate keys from C-based Tor to Arti.
  • Improvements include routing architecture, protocol implementation, directory cache support, and OR port listener configuration.
