Privacy tools claimed three of ten releases today. Obtainium 1.6.13 added opt-in HTTPS-to-HTTP redirect downgrade support and a minimum-age filter for updates. Yattee 2.0.0-beta.270 fixed Piped stream reporting and description timestamp seeking. BasicSwap DEX 0.18.2 posted release notes without detail. AI contributed llama.cpp b10604 with Deepseek 4 tensor work and Qwen Code cua-driver-rs 0.20.0 prebuilt binaries. Nostr saw Ditto 2.36.0 and NYM Chat 3.74.533, the latter shipping quantum-resistant encryption for private and group messages.
