+### 2024-11-24: RNS β 0.8.6
+
+This release adds full interface modularity and custom interface loading to RNS. Users can now easily create and use their own custom interfaces for communicating over practically anything. Support for IPv6 has also been added to the TCP-based interfaces.
+
+In addition, several bugs have been fixed, and various internal improvements to code consistency and naming conventions have been carried out.
+
+Thanks to @gretel and @deavmi, who contributed to this release!
+

+- Added ability to load and configure custom, user-supplied interfaces
