    We're pleased to announce the release of m2usenet v1.0.0, a privacy-focused Usenet posting gateway system with enhanced security and automatic fallback capabilities.

    ## What's New in v1.0.0

    - **Rebranded from mail2news to m2usenet** - Complete software rebrand
    - **Gateway-only architecture** - Simplified posting method via mail2news gateways
    - **Automatic fallback system** - Seamless switching between .onion and clearnet
    - **Enhanced privacy** - No data collection, anonymized logging
    - **Improved security** - Updated authentication headers and TLS configuration

    ## Gateway Configuration

    Primary Gateway (via Tor):
    mail2news@xilb7y4kj6u6qfo45o3yk2kilfv54ffukzei3puonuqlncy7cn2afwyd.onion

    Fallback Gateway (clearnet):
    mail2news@mail2news.tcpreset.net

    The system automatically attempts .onion gateway first for maximum privacy, then falls back to clearnet gateway if needed to ensure reliable delivery.

    ## Authentication Features

    - Hashcash Proof-of-Work tokens (configurable difficulty 24-32 bits)
    - Ed25519 digital signatures for message integrity
    - Anti-replay protection with token database
    - RFC-compliant Usenet header generation

    ## Technical Details

    - Frontend: PHP web interface with JavaScript PoW mining
    - Backend: Go binary for mail2news processing and NNTP delivery
    - Transport: Tor SOCKS5 proxy for .onion connectivity
    - Headers: X-Hashcash and X-Ed25519-* authentication

    All posts include proper authentication headers and are routed through privacy-focused infrastructure.

    ## Availability

    Source code and installation instructions available at: https://github.com/gabrix73/m2usenet-go.git

    Demo instance: https://m2usenet.virebent.art

    m2usenet v1.0.0 continues our commitment to providing secure, private,
    and reliable Usenet posting capabilities while maintaining compatibility
    with existing mail2news gateway infrastructure.
