🌐 Relay Updates and Releases#

1. Nosflare - v7.7.15#

Nosflare is a serverless Nostr relay built for Cloudflare Workers using a Cloudflare D1 database and R2 storage. This update introduces faster performance through new indexes, improved query handling, expanded caching, and several database-level optimizations. Because of these changes, relay operators must run a small SQL migration to add new cache tables, follow-graph views, and timeline caches. For users, this results in noticeably quicker feeds, more accurate follow-based timelines, and overall smoother event retrieval across the relay. This was the latest release, and there were also the releases of v7.6.15 and v7.4.13 last week.

2. Citrine - v0.9.0#

Citrine is an Android-based Nostr relay, letting Android devices act as lightweight personal relays that any Nostr client can connect to for sending and receiving events. This release upgrades Citrine to the latest Quartz engine, adds proxy support and a backup system (with automatic retention of the last five backups), updates dependencies, and fixes issues where some events were missing during import/export, making it a more reliable and configurable mobile relay solution.
