+The 0.8.3 release contains several performance improvements, including reduction of threads and
+memory usage, and faster I2CP (client-router) communication.
+</p><p>
+There is also new SSL router console support,
+a new reseed configuration page including HTTP proxy support for those behind restrictive firewalls,
+a new I2CP configuration section including I2CP-over-SSL support for remote clients,
+a new server connection limits and blacklist configuration section for enhanced DoS protection,
+and a new
+HTTP proxy jump server configuration section so you may easily add alternative jump servers.
+Statistics are now limited by default to reduce memory usage; the full set of statistics may be re-enabled on the
+stats configuration page.
+There are also bug fixes, of course, so
+as usual, upgrading is recommended.
