+Update details
+==============
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+0.9.26 contains a major upgrade to our native crypto library,
+a new addressbook subscription protocol with signatures,
+and major improvements to the Debian/Ubuntu packaging.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+For crypto, we have upgraded to GMP 6.0.0, and added support for newer processors,
+which will speed up crypto operations considerably.
+Also, we are now using constant-time GMP functions to prevent side-channel attacks.
+For caution, the GMP changes are enabled for new installs and Debian/Ubuntu builds only;
+we will include them for in-net updates in the 0.9.27 release.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+For Debian/Ubuntu builds, we have added dependencies on several packages,
+including Jetty 8 and geoip, and removed the equivalent bundled code.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+There's a collection of bug fixes also, including a fix for a timer bug
+that caused instability and performance degradations over time.
+As usual, we recommend that all users update to this release.
+The best way to help the network and stay secure is to run the latest release.
+{%- endtrans %}
+
+{% trans -%}
+I2P is now a proposed site on Stack Exchange!
+Please <a href="https://area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/99297/i2p">commit to using it</a> so the beta phase can begin.
