Revision 34 of the Noise spec is published at:

https://noiseprotocol.org/noise.pdf
https://noiseprotocol.org/noise.html

(Also:

https://noiseprotocol.org/noise_rev34.pdf
https://noiseprotocol.org/noise_rev34.html

and similarly for rev33, so we can track historical versions).


See the Change Log in the appendix.  Mainly we added deferred patterns, and a lot of clarifications, including better terminology for compound protocols like Noise Pipes / NLS which might involve Alice and Bob negotiating and switching between simple Noise protocols.

Thanks everyone who helped, we improved a lot of text, and have a much stronger foundation of handshake patterns, generation rules, terminology, and analysis to build on.

In particular, Justin Cormack did great work on deferred patterns and pattern-generation rules, and the Noise Explorer team of Nadim Kobeissi and Karthik Bhargavan provided invaluable analysis.
