At this moment, the twister-core source code available in two options:
@miguelfreitas branch
Legacy version, released by Miguel Freitas in 2013.
According to the announcement, on June 25, 2020, official project maintenance was discontinued.
@twisterarmy branch
Maintained by the community, it includes additional seeds and minor updates to make the codebase buildable on modern distributions.
It is 100% compatible with the main twister network (which was created by @miguelfreitas), and must remain compatible in the future.
tip
Prefer this version in the following cases:
- you are using modern distributions with latest
-devlibraries in the repository - you want to improve the network connectivity, as this branch includes actual seeds
- you are using IPv4+IPv6 or want to connect with Yggdrasil (the legacy branch requires additional arguments in the build configuration to enable IPv6 features)
- you are interested in the latest twister-html client updates, which also include additional features such as more themes, a configurable translation API, and more
note
Repository contains different branches, some of which are used to make reverse PRs to @miguelfreitas. Make sure you switch to the twisterarmy branch by using git checkout twisterarmy to continue with the build from this source!
