I copied, pasted and modified somes lines:
Retroshare v0.6.6 supports Tor v3 keys.
The change is backward compatible: new Tor v3 nodes will connect to 0.6.5 nodes without any change, provided that the 0.6.5 node you?re connected to uses a version of Tor that supports v3 keys too, which means posterior to v0.3.2.9.
Tor v2 keys will automatically deprecate after July 2021. This is not our decision: it depends on Tor stopping to support these keys.
Consequently, it is recommended to upgrade your existing Tor v2 node to Tor v3.
TUTORIAL to upgrade your existing Tor v2 node (created before v066) to Tor v3.
Fortunately, this is rather easy with the 066 version installed:
- Backup your directory \DATA with the subfolder \HID06xxxxx (in \Users\... or in your Retroshare 066 portable directory.
- Upgrade your old retroshare to the 066 official version:
https://retroshare.cc/
- Just delete (or move away) the directory ~/.retroshare/HID06_[your SSL Id]/hidden_service/.
Then start retroshare. It will automatically create a new (v3) service address. Your friends will still accept you when you connect to them (your profile key hasn?t changed). They will however not be able to locate you themselves (your Tor address has changed), until they receive your new Tor address either by discovery, or by yourself sending your certificate. This mostly happens to clear nodes for which the only direction of connection is from the clear node to the Tor node. In summary:
delete the hidden_service directory and re-launch Retroshare
send again your Retroshare certificate (See Home Page) to friend clear nodes
