-0.9.2 includes extensive low-level changes to improve the performance and efficiency of the router.
-We have updated our UPnP library, to hopefully make UPnP work for more people.
-I2PSnark now has DHT support, but it is not yet enabled by default, as we plan to do more
-testing during the upcoming 0.9.3 development cycle.
-As usual, there's also lots of bug fixes in this release, so updating is recommended. 
+0.9.3 includes extensive low-level changes to the queueing of messages in the router.
+We implement the CoDel Active Queue Management (AQM) algoorithm.
+We also unify the queueing and priority mechanisms in the transports to aid diagnosis and reduce network latency.
+Work continues on fixing UDP transport bugs and making UDP more resistant to attacks.
+There are more changes to improve the performance of the router and reduce its memory usage.
+Also, we enable i2psnark's DHT support, introduced last release, by default.
+As usual, there's also lots of bug fixes in this release, so updating is recommended.
