Newsletter #25 covers the week of 2026-05-26 to 2026-06-02.

Top stories

  • Amber 6.2.0 ships NIP-44 v3 encryption ahead of the spec PR, with a dedicated approval screen, ContentProvider authority registration, and auto-accepted NIP-46 ping requests on connect.
  • Vector 0.4.0 ground-up rewrite with Tor routing, multi-account support, NIP-46 remote signers, custom emoji packs, and ephemeral-key message deletion as a deliberate divergence from NIP-17 / Marmot for stronger user-side privacy controls.
  • Mostro Cashu 2-of-3 multisig escrow lands across 8 PRs (mostro-core v0.12.0), adding an EscrowBackend trait with Lightning and Cashu paths, per-order trade keys, and a containerized mint test harness.

Releases

ngit v2.5.0 (GRASP fallback), Jumble v26.5.7 (EXIF stripping + validated zap counts), nostr-calendar v1.6.0 (RSVP + Formstr NIP proposals), Sprout 0.3.6 (mesh-llm + cross-device channel sync), NostrBotKit v0.5.0 (Marmot/NIP-104 in Rust), noscrypt v0.1.14 (PGP-signed crypto library), Chama v1.3.0 (new Nostr-native P2P escrow with Fedimint + 2-of-3 Shamir).

Unreleased changes

Amethyst (52 PRs: NIP-32 hashtag labeling, NIP-F4 podcast screen, music tracks via NIP-51, ephemeral signers, Tor self-heal watchdog, onchain zaps). Shopstr OpenGraph URL validation closes an XSS surface.

NIP updates and protocol spec work

NIP-F4 (Podcasts) merged after two years in draft. Open / merged work on NIP-17 key decoupling (contentious thread), NIP-Silent Payments payment flow, NIP-PIP, NIP-29 audio/video live spaces, NIP-71 multi-audio tracks, NIP-59 ephemeral gift wrap (kind 21059), NIP-78, NIP-85, NIP-01 connection management, NIP-C7, NIP-55, and Amber's NIP-44 v3 implementation ahead of spec.

Deep dives

  • NIP-32 (Labeling) — kind 1985 with L/l namespace tags, tied to Amethyst's hashtag labeling rollout this week
  • NIP-F4 (Podcasts) — kind 54 with RSS GUID bridging, freshly merged

Repo / data updates

  • New Chama entry in data/projects.yml (marketplaces)
  • relay.tools org URL split into 10 per-repo entries in data/projects.yml (relaycreator, cookiecutter, spamblaster, interceptor-proxy, interceptor, monitorlizard, feedbuilder, crusher86, relay-tools-images, docs)
  • NostrBotKit v0.5.0 added to data/non_github_updates.yml (Codeberg)
  • New content/en/topics/nip-f4.md topic page
