🧅 Arti 0.0.1 is released: An embeddable Tor client in Rust

Haven’t you always wanted a Tor client written in Rust? Of course you have! And now that Arti has released version 0.0.1, we have such a client for you to try out.

@torproject is doing survey about "Understanding your use of Tor and VPNs". There was a lot of interesting questions in it, I recommend you give it a try. The more people participate in the survey, the better and more accurate the results will be, so its a way of helping them out.

Every 3rd Friday of the month, the Tor Localization Team meets to translate, share tricks, meet fellow translators, have fun, & learn about @torproject l10n priorities.
