{{project_name_short}} is a research and implementation project.
Be wary of those confidently calling themselves all-knowing, all-perfect. {{project_name_short}} is an actively maintained research project making constant improvements -- no shortcomings are ever hidden from users.
The source code base of {{project_name_short}} has a history since 2012 and {{project_name_short}} as compilation and under its current name {{project_name_short}} was available for public use since 2018. See [[History]] for details.
Before <code>{{project_clearnet}}</code> website went online, {{project_name_short}} was hosted on a different website. <ref>

</ref> This was non-ideal from a usability perspective. The dedicated <code>{{project_clearnet}}</code> website went public in November 2021.
{{project_name_short}} refers to itself as pre-release for two reasons:
'''1.''' This wiki is a work in progress. Many links are broken and a lot of documentation has to be refined. The lack of documentation might make {{project_name_short}} more difficult to use.
'''2.''' A [[ISO|{{project_name_short}} ISO]] is only available for testers. No stable version available yet.
"pre-release" does not imply "security issues".
