Key Improvements:

• New Configurable Transports: Enjoy DNS-over-HTTPS, regular DNS on port 53 (TCP+UDP), WebSockets and SOCKS5 with authentication support.
• Websocket Reverse Proxy: A new tool to map websockets to Stream or Packet endpoints.
• Desktop Circumvention Made Easy: Introducing the sysproxy package to effortlessly set system-wide proxies and create desktop circumvention applications.

@fortuna @jyyi1 is websocket supported in outline clients yet? Are there plans or timelines for that support to rollout? I'm interested in rolling websocket to a large user base.

WebSocket support is not currently available in Outline clients. However, we are actively exploring adding it in this year.
