+    * i2psnark: Add size total
+    * I2PTunnel:
+      - Make IRC Proxy non-shared, delayed-start, close-on-idle
+        for new users, for the anonymity benefits (see "Shared Clients,
+        Correlation and Collusion" http://zzz.i2p/topics/217 )

+    * Shitlist: Clean up expire message

+      - Fix BufferedStatsLog so it works at all
+      - Don't instantiate BufferedStatsLog unless stats.logFilters
+        property is defined (restart now required to enable logging)
+        This eliminates the StatLogWriter thread and a decent
+        amount of memory.
+      - Move two CLI classes out of the lib

+        kick off a signed update
+      - Fix problem when policy set to notify, and clicking

+        and bad messages
