[Ring] New dhtnode package and Ring 1.0 in Debian backports
Debian 9 (Stretch) users may now install Ring 1.0 and OpenDHT from offical Debian backports repositories. For instructions on enabling the backports repositories on your system, please refer to this page: - https://backports.debian.org/Instructions Once stretch-backports have been enabled, you may run the following commands: - apt-get update To install ring: - apt-get install ring To install the OpenDHT node: - ap-get install dhtnode OpenDHT and dhtnode === This release of the OpenDHT Debian package makes changes to the "dhtnode" binary package which is now shipped with a systemd service. This makes it easier than ever to contribute to Ring's distributed network. Installing the "dhtnode" package is all that is needed to host a fully operational node, which will automatically contribute to the OpenDHT network. Bootstrap servers = Bootstrap servers are used as the point of entry for Ring nodes to join the network. They are no different than any other node except for the fact that they are always online and available at a given address. The first time you launch Ring, it will connect to one of the preconfigured bootstrap nodes. For now, the only bootstrap node that is preconfigured with Ring is bootstrap.ring.cx. This service is maintained by Savoir-faire Linux. If you launched Ring for the first time and bootstrap.ring.cx was down, you would not be able to join the network. While the first step for contributing to Ring's network would be to run a dhtnode instance, members of the community could also host always-online and stable dhtnode instances that we would eventually consider to preconfigure in Ring as bootstrap nodes. This would help to further decentralize Ring and minimize the risks of network unavailability. If you are interested in hosting a bootstrap node, please contact me.

[Ring] Ring joins GNU - Beta 2 Released with Multi-Device and Decentralized Username Registry
Ring is free software for universal communication which respects freedoms and privacy of its users. The program allows users to communicate with each without relying on a centralized server to relay messages. It uses distributed hash tables for establishing communication. This avoids keeping centralized registries of users and storing personal data. Ring is mostly developed by Savoir-faire Linux, a Free Software consulting company based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. It is based on SFLPhone, which was a SIP/IAX2 compatible softphone for GNU/Linux. This announcement is twofold: - The project joins GNU as an official GNU package. - We have just released "Beta 2 - Gaston Miron", which is an important milestone for Ring. Binary packages are available on our download page: - https://ring.cx/download You may obtain the source for the first Beta2 release at the following address: - https://dl.ring.cx/ring-release/tarballs/ring_20161103.1.60700d3.tar.gz If you are already a Ring user, note that this release is not backwards compatible. On first launch, you will be asked to migrate your account. Migrating can only be done in one direction and Beta2 users are only able to communicate with other Beta2 users. Other than the many bugfixes, here are the most important changes included in "Beta 2 - Gaston Miron". Multi-Device support This feature greatly improves the usability of Ring. You may now share only one RingID to your friends and they will be able to reach you no matter what device you are on. Ring users are now able to register additional devices to an existing accounts. Sending text messages to a RingID will send messages to all devices owned by this RingID, the same goes for calls. Decentralized username registry (experimental) == New and existing users may now register a username. This will allow them to share a username instead of a RingID. The default username database is public and fully decentralized. It works using Ethereum, a decentralized platform that runs smart contracts using a blockchain. The source code for this new registration server can be found on gerrit: - git clone https://gerrit-ring.savoirfairelinux.com/ring-nameservice By default, Ring is configured to query the name server at ns.ring.cx, which is an HTTP REST API that talks to the decentralized registry program. We haven't yet documented how to setup a node and join the network for the registry, but we will do that in the future. Eventually, everyone should be able to run a node and won't have to query the server at ns.ring.cx, you could connect to your local node instead. Ring URIs = The decentralized registry is not the only option. Ring now supports URIs. For example, calling "ring:av...@ring.gnu.org" would query ring.gnu.org via HTTP for the RingID of "aviau". This allows for creating many other registries. We are still in Beta, so you must expect rough edges. However, this release is an important step towards making Ring easier to use and more convenient. -- Alexandre Viau Savoir-faire Linux Free Software Consultant Co-Maintainer of GNU Ring signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
