“Finally I made the leap to be Nostr exclusive and it feels like a breath of fresh air. X stays up for announcements only.

This is the right move. The community here is real, the conversations are better, and most importantly I own my identity and my data. No platform standing between me and the people I want to reach.

Now back to building.

#NostrOnly”

5. Roadstr - v0.3.0

Roadstr is a decentralized road event reporting client built on the Nostr protocol, designed to let users share and receive real-time traffic and road incident data (similar to a “Waze without centralized tracking”) using signed Nostr events and geospatial tagging. This release introduces a new Metric/Imperial unit toggle for speed and distance display, adds a live value indicator for the speed threshold slider, simplifies the main UI by moving keys and settings into the toolbar overflow menu to declutter the event feed, and improves usability with larger, more accessible report-type buttons optimized for easier tapping on mobile screens.

1. Noscrypt - v0.1.15

Noscrypt is a Nostr-specific cryptography library written in C that provides low-level cryptographic primitives used to support secure signing and encryption for Nostr applications. In v0.1.15, the release fixes a header-level issue by restoring the missing NC_CC calling convention macro definition (affecting only imports, not ABI compatibility), updates Linux CI setup to use mise-en-place for dependency management, and upgrades the Microsoft.NET.Test.Sdk test dependency from 18.5.1 to 18.7.0 to improve build and test environment consistency.

3. Mostro Core - v0.14.0

Mostro Core is a Rust-based peer-to-peer library that provides the foundational networking and protocol logic for building decentralized Mostro applications and daemons. This release adds support for an optional fee_token field in CashuLockProof to improve flexible payment handling, upgrades dependencies including sqlx to v0.9 while raising the minimum supported Rust version to 1.94, and includes maintenance fixes such as correcting automated version bump handling to rely on cargo release, along with general changelog and release process updates. This was the latest, and there was also the release of v0.13.2 last week.

4. Mostro CLI - v0.16.0

Mostro CLI is a command-line client for interacting with Mostro (a peer-to-peer Bitcoin and Lightning exchange that operates over the Nostr) allowing users and operators to manage trades, messaging, and transport-layer communication directly from the terminal. This release introduces protocol and transport upgrades including Phase 2 and Phase 3 support for protocol-v2 (NIP-44 direct transport), automatic transport detection, and improved DM handling, along with multiple reliability and UX fixes such as waiting for relay connections before requests, making DM fetches transport-aware, improving Proof-of-Work detection and rejection handling, and ensuring correct admin dispute and settlement flows, plus security hardening for local mnemonic storage and dependency updates to align with the latest mostro-core foundation.

5. Nostr VPN - v4.0.87

Nostr VPN is a private mesh VPN system inspired by Tailscale, built on a FIPS-backed data plane to provide encrypted peer-to-peer connectivity and routing between nodes. In v4.0.87, the release improves mesh reliability by refreshing stale embedded FIPS direct paths using fresher tunnel data when available, ensuring that active control traffic does not mask dead payload routes and reducing unnecessary endpoint churn by preferring updated and valid routing paths for encrypted communication. This was the latest, and there was also the release of v4.0.85 last week.

1. Nostream - v3.0.0

Nostream is a TypeScript-based Nostr relay. In v3.0.0, the release introduces major improvements including expanded protocol support (NIP-17 encrypted DMs, NIP-44 v2, NIP-42 authentication, NIP-62 vanish events, NIP-65 relay lists, NIP-13 proof-of-work, NIP-45 event counts, and additional relay features), stronger performance and reliability (rate limiting, caching, query optimization, improved connection handling, Docker and Redis fixes), enhanced security and dependency upgrades addressing vulnerabilities, and upgraded developer tooling such as event import/export, compression support, CLI/TUI unification, benchmarking and test coverage improvements, plus new capabilities like i2p support and geohash-based filtering.

1. Angor - v0.2.31 (Unstable Release)

Angor is a decentralized protocol (in alpha stage) built on Bitcoin and Nostr, used to enable peer-to-peer funding workflows. This unstable release improves protocol stability and tooling with consolidated BCIP/NIP documentation, cross-platform distribution updates (portable Windows executables, signed macOS DMGs, and Android APK publishing to ZapStore), fixes for relay race conditions and subscription recovery, improved network switching behavior, and several validation and UX-related fixes such as funding date constraints, spinner state handling, and relay reconnection reliability.

1. Buzz - v0.3.35

Buzz is a self-hosted Nostr-based workspace where humans and AI agents collaborate in shared channels using signed relay events instead of a traditional backend. This release improves desktop performance and stability (module splitting, debounced queries, virtualized timeline fixes, GNOME notification fixes), enhances collaboration features (agent management in sidebar, unread/DM parity, cross-pod notifications), adds media handling improvements (HEIC/HEIF to JPEG transcoding), strengthens agent policy controls, and continues development of multi-tenant relay support and runtime hardening. This was the latest, and there were a lot more releases last week.
