==New WebP Images==

WebP is an open source image format created by Google based on the VP8 video codec. It shows a lot of promise, allowing both lossless and lossy compression of images and allows motion (encompassing what PNG, JPG and GIF/APNG do respectively in one format) while ~~spacing~~ space over the older formats. I have at the moment changed the images in the gallery on the Main Page to test Wikipedia and browser handling of the new format and if all is well, may convert the rest of the images on the site to WebP. Modern browsers all support WebP which is promising news.

* TLS 1.3 support for our web pages. TLS 1.2 is still supported as TLS 1.3 is new but we do not support any lower than TLS 1.2.

* ~~Letencrypt~~ allow for wildcard certificates, which have allowed us more flexibility with the use of our certificates. We are also using ECDSA certificates using acme.sh to implement them.

* Letsencrypt now allow for wildcard certificates, which have allowed us more flexibility with the use of our certificates. We are also using ECDSA certificates using acme.sh to implement them.

* Strongswan is now implemented with the new charon interface, which is much more flexible and modular than the old ipsec interface (this was a learning curve, but we got there!)

* Our domain ~~has~~ is now https://www.freddythechick.net. Due to the nature of our internet connection, we needed DDNS support and have had to move from Gandi to Google Domains. This address is secured for the next 2 years.

* We have moved over to openSUSE Tumbleweed again to implement all this great work but plan to move back to openSUSE Leap when all these things are implemented in the Leap release. We are hoping this will all be implemented by openSUSE Leap 16.

== HTTP/2 Support ==

We have enabled HTTP/2 support on the server when used with https. <s>We only have a self signed certificate at the moment so an exception needs to be created~~</s>~~, but after that, you should notice that the site is now overall faster than before. You will need a modern browser to take advantage, however with an older browser, the site should still work.
