* Bugfix for a rare SSU error (thanks cervantes!)
* More progress on the blog interface, allowing customizable blog-wide
links.
2006-01-08 jrandom
* First pass of the new blog interface, though without much of the useful
customization features (coming soon)
2006-01-04 jrandom
* Rather than profile individual tunnels for throughput over their
lifetime, do so at 1 minute intervals (allowing less frequently active
tunnels to be more fairly measured).
* Run the live tunnel load test across two tunnels at a time, by default.
The load test runs for a random period from 90s to the tunnel lifetime,
self paced. This should help gathering data for profiling peers that
are in exploratory tunnels.
2006-01-03 jrandom
* Calculate the overall peer throughput across the 3 fastest one minute
tunnel throughput values, rather than the single fastest throughput.
* Degrade the profiled throughput data over time (cutting the profiled
peaks in half once a day, on average)
* Enable yet another new speed calculation for profiling peers, using the
peak throughput from individual tunnels that a peer is participating in,
rather than across all tunnels they are participating in. This helps
gather a fairer peer throughput measurement, since it won't allow a slow
high capacity peer seem to have a higher throughput (pushing a little
data across many tunnels at once, as opposed to lots of data across a
single tunnel). This degrades over time like the other.
* Add basic OS/2 support to the jbigi code (though we do not bundle a
precompiled OS/2 library)
2006-01-01 jrandom
* Disable multifile torrent creation in I2PSnark's web UI for the moment
(though it can still seed and participate in multifile swarms)
* Enable a new speed calculation for profiling peers, using their peak
1 minute average tunnel throughput as their speed.
2005-12-31 jrandom
* Include a simple torrent creator in the I2PSnark web UI
* Further streaming lib closing improvements
* Refactored the load test components to run off live tunnels (though,
still not safe for normal/anonymous load testing)
2005-12-30 jrandom
* Small streaming lib bugfixes for the modified timeouts
* Minor Syndie/Sucker RSS html fix
* Small synchronization fix in I2PSnark (thanks fsm!)
2005-12-30 jrandom
* Replaced the bundled linux jcpuid (written in C++) with scintilla's
jcpuid (written in C), removing the libg++.so.5 dependency that has bit
some distros (e.g. mandriva)
2005-12-29 jrandom
* Minor fix to the new ERR-ClockSkew to deal with people whose clocks are
actually correct
2005-12-27 jrandom
* Add a new Status: line on the router console - "ERR-ClockSkew", in case
the clock is too skewed to do anything useful (check the year and month,
not just the hour and minute).
* Fixed the read/write timeouts in the streaming lib (so that it actually
honors them now)
* Minor I2PSnark cleanups (no read timeout, more careful shutdown and
torrent closing)
* Handle an oddball tunnel creation failure (thanks Xunk)
2005-12-26 Complication
* Fix some integer typecasting in I2PSnark (caused >2GB torrents to fail)
* HTML readability cosmetics on "Peers" page
* 2005-12-22 0.6.1.8 released
2005-12-22 jrandom
* Bundle the standalone I2PSnark launcher in the installer and update
process (launch as "java -jar launch-i2psnark.jar", viewing the
interface on http://localhost:8002/)
* Don't autostart swarming torrents by default so that you can run a
standalone I2PSnark from the I2P install dir and not have the embedded
I2PSnark autolaunch the torrents that the standalone instance is running
* Fixed a rare streaming lib bug that could let a blocking call wait
forever.
2005-12-22 jrandom
* Cleaned up some buffer synchronization issues in I2PSnark that could
2005-12-21 jrandom
* Adjusted I2PSnark's usage of the streaming lib (tweaking it for BT's
behavior)
* Fixed the I2PSnark bug that would lose track of live peers
2005-12-20 jrandom
* Enabled the control in I2PSnark to toggle whether torrents should be
started automatically or not
* Hopefully finished the last hook to close down torrents completely when
they're stopped.
2005-12-19 jrandom
* Fix for old Syndie blog bookmarks (thanks Complication!)
* Fix for I2PSnark to accept incoming connections again (oops)
* Randomize the order that peers from the tracker are contacted
2005-12-19 jrandom
* I2PSnark logging, disconnect old inactive peers rather than new ones,
memory usage reduction, better OOM handling, and a shared connection
acceptor.
* Cleaned up the Syndie blog page and the resulting filters (viewing a
blog from the blog page shows threads started by the selected author,
not those that they merely participate in)
2005-12-18 jrandom
* Added a standalone runner for the I2PSnark web ui (build with the
command "ant i2psnark", unzip i2psnark-standalone.zip somewhere, run
with "java -jar launch-i2psnark.jar", and go to http://localhost:8002/).
* Further I2PSnark error handling
2005-12-17 jrandom
* Let multiuser accounts authorize themselves to access the remote
functionality again (thanks Ch0Hag!)
* Adjust the JVM heap size to 128MB for new installs (existing users can
accomplish this by editing wrapper.config, adding the line
"wrapper.java.maxmemory=128", and then doing a full shutdown and startup
of the router). This is relevent for heavy usage of I2PSnark in the
router console.
2005-12-17 jrandom
* Use our faster SHA1, rather than the JVM's within I2PSnark, and let
'piece' sizes grow larger than before.
2005-12-16 jrandom
* Added some I2PSnark sanity checks, an OOMListener when running
standalone, and a guard against keeping memory tied up indefinitely.
* Sanity check on the watchdog (thanks zzz!)
* Handle invalid HTTP requests in I2PTunnel a little better
2005-12-16 jrandom
* Moved I2PSnark from using Threads to I2PThreads, so we handle OOMs
properly (thanks Complication!)
* More guards in I2PSnark for zany behavior (I2PSession recon w/ skew,
b0rking in the DirMonitor, etc)
2005-12-16 jrandom
* Try to run a torrent in readonly mode if we can't write to the file, and
handle failures a little more gracefully (thanks polecat!)
2005-12-16 jrandom
* Refuse torrents with too many files (128), avoiding ulimit errors.
* Remove an fd leak in I2PSnark
* Further I2PSnark web UI cleanup
2005-12-15 jrandom
* Added a first pass to the I2PSnark web UI (see /i2psnark/)
2005-12-15 jrandom
* Added multitorrent support to I2PSnark, accessible currently by running
"i2psnark.jar --config i2psnark.config" (which may or may not exist).
It then joins the swarm for any torrents in ./i2psnark/*.torrent, saving
their data in that directory as well. Removing the .torrent file stops
participation, and it is currently set to seed indefinitely. Completion
is logged to the logger and standard output, with further UI interaction
left to the (work in progress) web UI.
2005-12-14 jrandom
* Fix to drop peer references when we shitlist people again (thanks zzz!)
* Further I2PSnark fixes to deal with arbitrary torrent info attributes
(thanks Complication!)
2005-12-13 zzz
* Don't test tunnels expiring within 90 seconds
* Defer Test Tunnel jobs if job lag too large
* Use JobQueue.getMaxLag() rather than the jobQueue.jobLag stat to measure
job lag for tunnel build backoff, allowing for more agile handling
(since the stat is only updated once a minute)
* Use tunnel length override if all tunnels are expiring within one
minute.
2005-12-13 jrandom
* Fixed I2PSnark's handling of some torrent files to deal with those
created by Azureus and I2PRufus (it didn't know how to deal with
additional meta info, such as path.utf-8 or name.utf-8).
2005-12-09 zzz
* Create different strategies for exploratory tunnels (which are difficult
to create) and client tunnels (which are much easier)
* Gradually increase number of parallel build attempts as tunnel expiry
nears.
* Temporarily shorten attempted build tunnel length if builds using
configured tunnel length are unsuccessful
* React more aggressively to tunnel failure than routine tunnel
replacement
* Make tunnel creation times randomized - there is existing code to
randomize the tunnels but it isn't effective due to the tunnel creation
strategy. Currently, most tunnels get built all at once, at about 2 1/2
to 3 minutes before expiration. The patch fixes this by fixing the
randomization, and by changing the overlap time (with old tunnels) to a
range of 2 to 4 minutes.
* Reduce number of excess tunnels. Lots of excess tunnels get created due
to overlapping calls. Just about anything generated a call which could
build many tunnels all at once, even if tunnel building was already in
process.
* Miscellaneous router console enhancements
2005-12-08 jrandom
* Minor bugfix in SSU for dealing with corrupt packets
* Added some hooks for load testing
2005-12-07 jrandom
* Added a first pass at a blog view in Syndie
2005-12-07 jrandom
* Expand the thread we're viewing to its leaf
* Bugfix on intraday ordering (children are always newer than parents)
2005-12-05 jrandom
* Added an RDF and XML thread export to Syndie, reachable at
.../threadnav/rdf or .../threadnav/xml, accepting the parameters
count=$numThreads and offset=$threadIndex. If the $numThreads is -1, it
displays all threads.
2005-12-04 TLorD
* Patch for the C SAM library to null terminate strings on copy (thanks!)
2005-12-04 jrandom
* Bugfix in Syndie for a problem in the threaded indexer (thanks CofE!)
* Always include ourselves in the favorite authors (since we don't
bookmark ourselves)
2005-12-03 jrandom
* Use newgroup-like tags by default in Syndie's interface
2005-12-03 jrandom
* Added support for a 'most recent posts' view that CofE requested, which
includes the ability to filter by age (e.g. posts by your favorite
authors in the last 5 days).
2005-12-03 jrandom
* Adjusted Syndie to use the threaded view that cervantes suggested, which
displays a a single thread path at a time - from root to leaf - rather
than a depth first traversal.
2005-12-03 jrandom
* Package up a standalone Syndie install into a "syndie-standalone.zip",
buildable with "ant syndie". It extracts into ./syndie/, launches with
"java -jar launchsyndie.jar" (or javaw, on windows, to avoid a dos box),
running a single user Syndie instance (by default). It also creates a
default subscription to syndiemedia without any anonymity (using no
proxy). Upgrades can be done by just replacing the syndie.war with the
one from I2P.
* 2005-12-01 0.6.1.7 released
2005-12-01 jrandom
* Add a new criteria to the tunnel join throttle, backing off people if we
are failing to talk to our peers more than usual.
2005-11-30 jrandom
* Cleaned up the build process to deal with Jetty 5.1.6 and rename the
new commons-logging-api.jar to commons-logging.jar, which it replaces.
Jetty 5.1.6 is pushed with all updates. Also, no need to push a
separate jdom or rome, as they're inside syndie.war.
2005-11-30 jrandom
* Don't let the TCP transport alone shitlist a peer, since other
transports may be working. Also display whether TCP connections are
inbound or outbound on the peers page.
* Fixed some substantial bugs in the SSU introducers where we wouldn't
talk to anyone who didn't expose an IP (even if they had introducers),
among other goofy things.
* When dealing with SSU introducers, send them all a packet at 3s/6s/9s,
rather than sending one a packet at 3s, then another a packet at 6s,
and a third a packet at 9s.
* Fixed Syndie attachments (oops)
2005-11-29 zzz
* Added a link to orion's jump page on the 'key not found' error page.
2005-11-29 jrandom
* Further Syndie UI cleanup
* Bundled our patched MultiPartRequest code from jetty (APL2 licensed),
since it hasn't been applied to the jetty CVS yet [1]. Its packaged
into syndie.jar and renamed to net.i2p.syndie.web.MultiPartRequest, but
will be removed as soon as its integrated into Jetty. This patch allows
posting content in various character sets.
[1] http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.java.jetty.general/6031
* Upgraded new installs to the latest stable jetty (5.1.6), though this
isn't pushed as part of the update yet, as there aren't any critical
bugs.
2005-11-29 jrandom
* Added back in the OSX jbigi, which was accidentally removed a few revs
back (thanks for the bug report stoerte!) New installs will get the
full jbigi, or you can pull the jbigi.jar from CVS by going to
http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/installer/lib/jbigi/jbigi.jar
and clicking on the first "download" link, saving that jbigi.jar to
lib/jbigi.jar in your I2P installation directory. After restarting your
router, it should load up fine.
2005-11-27 jrandom
* Inlined the Syndie CSS to reduce the number of HTTP requests (and
because firefox [and others?] delay rendering until they fetch the css).
* Make sure we fire the shutdown tasks when regenerating a new identity
(thanks picsou!)
* Cleaned up some of the things I b0rked in the 'dynamic keys' mode
* Don't drop SSU sessions if they're still transmitting data successfully,
even if there are transmission failures
* Adjusted the time summarization to display hours after 119m, not 90m
* Further EepGet cleanup (grr)
2005-11-26 jrandom
* Update the sorting in Syndie to consider children 'newer' than parents,
even if they have the same message ID (duh)
* Cleaned up some nav links in Syndie (good idea gloin, spaetz!)
* Added a bunch of tooltips to Syndie's fields (thanks polecat!)
* Force support for nonvalidating XML in Jetty (so we can handle GCJ/etc
better)
2005-11-26 jrandom
* Be more explicit about what messages we will handle through a client
tunnel, and how we will handle them. This cuts off a set of attacks
that an active adversary could mount, though they're probably nonobvious
and would require at least some sophistication.
2005-11-26 Raccoon23
* Added support for 'dynamic keys' mode, where the router creates a new
router identity whenever it detects a substantial change in its public
address (read: SSU IP or port). This only offers minimal additional
protection against trivial attackers, but should provide functional
improvement for people who have periodic IP changes, since their new
router address would not be shitlisted while their old one would be.
* Added further infrastructure for restricted route operation, but its use
is not recommended.
2005-11-25 jrandom
* Further Syndie UI cleanups
* Logging cleanup
* Fixed link to fproxy.tino.i2p (thanks zzz!)
2005-11-25 jrandom
* Don't publish stats for periods we haven't reached yet (thanks zzz!)
* Cleaned up the syndie threaded display to show the last updated date for
a subthread, and to highlight threads updated in the last two days.
2005-11-24 jrandom
* Fix to save syndication settings in Syndie (thanks spaetz!)
2005-11-23 jrandom
* Removed spurious streaming lib RTO increase (it wasn't helpful)
* Streamlined the tunnel batching to schedule batch transmissions more
appropriately.
* Default tunnel pool variance to 2 +0-1 hops
2005-11-21 jrandom
* IE doesn't strip SPAN from <button> form fields, so add in a workaround
within I2PTunnel.
* Increase the maximum SSU retransmission timeout to accomodate slower or
more congested links (though SSU's RTO calculation will usually use a
much lower timeout)
* Moved the streaming lib timed events off the main timer queues and onto
a streaming lib specific set of timer queues. Streaming lib timed
events are more likely to have lock contention on the I2CP socket while
other timed events in the router are (largely) independent.
* Fixed a case sensitive lookup bug (thanks tino!)
* Syndie cleanup - new edit form on the preview page, and fixed some blog
links (thanks tino!)
2005-11-19 jrandom
* Implemented a trivial pure java PMTU backoff strategy, switching between
a 608 byte MTU and a 1350 byte MTU, depending upon retransmission rates.
* Fixed new user registration in Syndie (thanks Complication!)
2005-11-17 jrandom
* More cautious file handling in Syndie
2005-11-16 jrandom
* More aggressive I2PTunnel content encoding munging to work around some
rare HTTP behavior (ignoring q values on Accept-encoding, using gzip
even when only identity is specified, etc). I2PTunnelHTTPServer now
sends "Accept-encoding: \r\n" plus "X-Accept-encoding: x-i2p-gzip\r\n",
and I2PTunnelHTTPServer handles x-i2p-gzip in either the Accept-encoding
or X-Accept-encoding headers. Eepsite operators who do not know to
check for X-Accept-encoding will simply use the identity encoding.
2005-11-14 jrandom
* Migrate to the new Syndie interface
2005-11-11 jrandom
* Add filtering threads by author to Syndie, populated with authors in the
user's addressbook
* When creating the default user, add
"http://syndiemedia.i2p/archive/archive.txt" to their addressbook,
configured to automatically pull updates. (what other archives should
be included?)
* Tiny servlet to help dole out the new routerconsole themes, and bundle
the installer/resources/themes/** into ./docs/themes/** on both install
and update.
* Initial pass of the routerconsole revamp, starting with I2PTunnel and
being progressively rolled out to other sections at later dates.
Featuring abstracted W3C strict XHTML1.0 markup, with CSS providing
layout and styling.
* Implemented console themes. Users can create their own themes by
creating css files in: {i2pdir}/docs/themes/console/{themename}/
and activating it using the routerconsole.theme={themename} advanced
config property. Look at the example incomplete "defCon1" theme.
Note: This is very much a work in progress. Folks might want to hold-off
creating their own skins until the markup has solidified.
* Added "routerconsole.javascript.disabled=true" to disable console
client-side scripting and "routerconsole.css.disabled=true" to remove
css styling (only rolled out in the i2ptunnel interface currently)
* Fixed long standing bug with i2ptunnel client and server edit screens
where tunnel count and depth properties would fail to save. Added
backup quantity and variance configuration options.
* Added basic accessibility support (key shortcuts, linear markup, alt and
title information and form labels).
* So far only tested on IE6, Firefox 1.0.6, Opera 8 and lynx.
2005-11-11 jrandom
* Default Syndie to single user mode, and automatically log into a default
user account (additional accounts can be logged into with the 'switch'
or login pages, and new accounts can be created with the register page).
* Disable the 'automated' column on the Syndie addressbook unless the user
is appropriately authorized (good idea Polecat!)
2005-11-10 jrandom
* First pass to a new threaded Syndie interface, which isn't enabled by
default, as its not done yet.
2005-11-06 jrandom
* Include SSU establishment failure in the peer profile as a commError,
as we do for TCP establishment failures.
* Don't throttle the initial transmission of a message because of ongoing
retransmissions to a peer, since the initial transmission of a message
is more valuable than a retransmission (since it has less latency).
* Cleaned up links to SusiDNS and I2PTunnel (thanks zzz!)
2005-11-05 jrandom
* Include the most recent ACKs with packets, rather than only sending an
ack exactly once. SSU differs from TCP in this regard, as TCP has ever
increasing sequence numbers, while each message ID in SSU is random, so
we don't get the benefit of later ACKs implicitly ACKing earlier
messages.
* Reduced the max retransmission timeout for SSU
* Don't try to send messages queued up for a long time waiting for
establishment.
2005-11-05 dust
* Fix sucker to delete its temporary files.
* Improve sucker's sml output some.
* Fix Exception in SMLParser for weird sml.
2005-11-03 zzz
* Added a new error page to the eepproxy to differentiate the full 60
second timeout from the immediate "I don't know this base64" failure.
2005-11-01 jrandom
* Added a few more css elements (thanks identiguy!)
2005-10-31 jrandom
* Fix for some syndie reply scenarios (thanks identiguy and CofE!)
* Removed a potentially infinitely recursive call (oops)
2005-10-30 dust
* Merge sucker into syndie with a rssimport.jsp page.
* Add getContentType() to EepGet.
* Make chunked transfer work (better) with EepGet.
* Do replaceAll("<","<") for logs.
2005-10-29 jrandom
* Improved the bandwidth throtting on tunnel participation, especially for
low bandwidth peers.
* Improved failure handling in SSU with proactive reestablishment of
failing idle peers, and rather than shitlisting a peer who failed too
much, drop the SSU session and allow a new attempt (which, if it fails,
will cause a shitlisting)
* Clarify the cause of the shitlist on the profiles page, and include
bandwidth limiter info at the bottom of the peers page.
2005-10-26 jrandom
* In Syndie, propogate the subject and tags in a reply, and show the parent
post on the edit page for easy quoting. (thanks identiguy and CofE!)
* Streamline some netDb query handling to run outside the jobqueue -
which means they'll run on the particular SSU thread that handles the
message. This should help out heavily loaded netDb peers.
2005-10-25 jrandom
* Defer netDb searches for newly referenced peers until we actually want
them
* Ignore netDb references to peers on our shitlist
* Set the timeout for end to end client messages to the max delay after
finding the leaseSet, so we don't have as many expired messages floating
around.
* Add a floor to the streaming lib window size
* When we need to send a streaming lib ACK, try to retransmit one of the
unacked packets instead (with updated ACK/NACK fields, of course). The
bandwidth cost of an unnecessary retransmission should be minor as
compared to both an ACK packet (rounded up to 1KB in the tunnels) and
the probability of a necessary retransmission.
* Adjust the streaming lib cwin algorithm to allow growth after a full
cwin messages if the rtt is trending downwards. If it is not, use the
existing algorithm.
* Increased the maximum rto size in the streaming lib.
* Load balancing bugfix on end to end messages to distribute across
tunnels more evenly.
2005-10-22 jrandom
* Integrated GNU-Crypto's Fortuna PRNG, seeding it off /dev/urandom and
./prngseed.rnd (if they exist), and reseeding it with data out of
various crypto operations (unused bits in a DH exchange, intermediary
bits in a DSA signature generation, extra bits in an ElGamal decrypt).
The Fortuna implementation under gnu.crypto.prng has been modified to
use BouncyCastle's SHA256 and Cryptix's AES (since those are the ones
I2P uses), and the resulting gnu.crypto.prng.* are therefor available
under GPL+Classpath's linking exception (~= LGPL). I2P's SecureRandom
wrapper around it is, of course, public domain.
2005-10-20 dust
* Fix bug in ircclient that prevented it to use its own dest (i.e. was
always shared. (thx for info Ragnarok)
* Fix crash in Sucker with some bad html.
2005-10-20 jrandom
* Workaround a bug in GCJ's Calendar implementation
* Propery throw an exception in the streaming lib if we try to write to a
closed stream. This will hopefully help clear some I2Phex bugs (thanks
GregorK!)
2005-10-19 jrandom
* Ported the snark bittorrent client to I2P such that it is compatible
with i2p-bt and azneti2p. For usage information, grab an update and run
"java -jar lib/i2psnark.jar". It isn't currently multitorrent capable,
but adding in support would be fairly easy (see PeerAcceptor.java:49)
* Don't allow leaseSets expiring too far in the future (thanks postman)
2005-10-19 jrandom
* Bugfix for the auto-update code to handle different usage patterns
* Decreased the addressbook recheck frequency to once every 12 hours
instead of hourly.
* Handle dynamically changing the HMAC size (again, unless your nym is
toad or jrandom, ignore this ;)
* Cleaned up some synchronization/locking code
2005-10-17 dust
* Exchange the remaining URL with EepGet in Sucker.
* Allow /TOPIC irc command.
2005-10-17 jrandom
* Allow an env prop to configure whether we want to use the backwards
compatible (but not standards compliant) HMAC-MD5, or whether we want
to use the not-backwards compatible (but standards compliant) one. No
one should touch this setting, unless your name is toad or jrandom ;)
* Added some new dummy facades
* Be more aggressive on loading up the router.config before building the
router context
* Added new hooks for apps to deal with previously undefined I2NP message
types without having to modify any code.
* Demo code for using a castrated router for SSU comm (SSUDemo.java)
2005-10-14 jrandom
* More explicit filter for linux/PPC building (thanks anon!)
* Fixed Syndie's Sucker to not explicitly reference something only found
in sun's JVM (thanks cervantes!)
* Don't filter IRC "MAP" messages (not critical, but it doesn't hurt)
* 2005-10-14 0.6.1.3 released
2005-10-14 jrandom
* Added a key explaining peers.jsp a bit (thanks tethra!)
2005-10-13 dust
* Bundled dust's Sucker for pulling RSS/Atom content into SML, which can
then be injected into Syndie with the Syndie CLI.
* Bundled ROME and JDOM (BSD and Apache licensed, respectively) for
RSS/Atom parsing.
2005-10-13 jrandom
* SSU retransmission choke bugfix (== != !=)
* Include initial transmissions in the retransmission choke, so that
if we are already retransmitting a message, we won't send anything
to that peer other than that message (or ACKs, if necessary)
2005-10-12 jrandom
* Choke SSU retransmissions to a peer while there is already a
retransmission in flight to them. This currently lets other initial
transmissions through, since packet loss is often sporadic, but maybe
this should block initial transmissions as well?
* Display the retransmission bytes stat on peers.jsp (thanks bar!)
* Filter QUIT messages in the I2PTunnelIRCClient proxy
2005-10-11 jrandom
* Piggyback the SSU partial ACKs with data packets. This is backwards
compatible.
* Syndie RSS renderer bugfix, plus now include the full entry instead of
just the blurb before the cut.
2005-10-11 jrandom
* Piggyback the SSU explicit ACKs with data packets (partial ACKs aren't
yet piggybacked). This is backwards compatible.
* SML parser cleanup in Syndie
2005-10-10 dust
* Implemented a new I2PTunnelIRCClient which locally filters inbound and
outbound IRC commands for anonymity and security purposes, removing all
CTCP messages except ACTION, as well as stripping the hostname from the
USER message (while leaving the nick and 'full name'). The IRC proxy
doesn't use this by default, but you can enable it by creating a new
"IRC proxy" tunnel on the web interface, or by changing the tunnel type
to "ircclient" in i2ptunnel.config.
2005-10-10 jrandom
* I2PTunnel http client config cleanup and stats
* Minor SSU congestion tweaks and stats
* Reduced netDb exploration period
2005-10-09 jrandom
* Syndie CLI cleanup for simpler CLI posting. Usage shown with
java -jar lib/syndie.jar
* Beginnings of the Syndie logging cleanup
* Delete corrupt Syndie posts
2005-10-09 jrandom
* Now that the streaming lib works reasonably, set the default inactivity
event to send a 0 byte keepalive payload, rather than disconnecting the
stream. This should cut the irc netsplits and help out with other long
lived streams. The default timeout is now less than the old timeout as
well, so the keepalive will be sent before earlier builds fire their
fatal timeouts.

* Use the OS clock for stat timing, since it doesn't jump around (though
still use the NTP'ed clock for display)
* Added new DH stats
* 2005-10-07 0.6.1.2 released
2005-10-07 jrandom
* Include the 1 second bandwidth usage on the console rather than the
1 minute rate, as the 1 second value doesn't have the 1m/5m quantization
issues.
2005-10-07 jrandom
* Allow the I2PTunnelHTTPServer to send back the first few packets of an
HTTP response quicker, and initialize the streaming lib's cwin more
carefully.
* Added a small web UI to the new Syndie scheduled updater. If you log in
as a user authorized to use the remote archive funtionality, you can
request remote archives in your address book to be automatically pulled
down by checking the "scheduled?" checkbox.
2005-10-05 jrandom
* Allow the first few packets in the stream to fill in their IDs during
handshake (thanks cervantes, Complication, et al!) This should fix at
least some of the intermittent HTTP POST issues.
2005-10-04 jrandom
* Syndie patch for single user remote archives (thanks nickless_head!)
* Handle an invalid netDb store (thanks Complication!)
2005-10-04 jrandom
* Further reduction in unnecessary streaming packets.
2005-10-03 jrandom
* Properly reject unroutable IP addresses *cough*
2005-10-03 rangarok
* Changed default update delay to twelve hours, and enforced a minimum
delay of one hour.
2005-10-03 ragnarok
* Implemented a Syndie auto-updater. It will automatically pull new posts
from selected syndie archives. To try it out, add
syndie.updateArchives=<comma seperated list of syndie archives> to your
syndie.config. Archives must be specified as the full url to archive.txt
(e.g. http://syndiemedia.i2p/archive/archive.txt). By default, it checks
for new posts every hour. This can be modified by setting
syndie.updateDelay=<delay in hours> also in syndie.config.
2005-09-30 ragnarok
* Implemented conditional get for syndie remote archive imports.
2005-09-30 jrandom
* Killed three more streaming lib bugs, one of which caused excess packets
to be transmitted (dupacking dupacks), one that was the root of many of
the old hung streams (shrinking highest received), and another that was
releasing data too soon.
2005-09-30 jrandom
* Only allow autodetection of our IP address if we haven't received an
inbound connection in the last two minutes.
* Increase the default max streaming resends to 8 from 5 (and down from
the earlier 10)

* Support noreseed.i2p in addition to .i2pnoreseed for disabling automatic
reseeding - useful on OSes that make it hard to create dot files.
Thanks Complication (and anon)!
* Fixed the installer version string (thanks Frontier!)
* Added cleaner rejection of invalid IP addresses, shitlist those who send
us invalid IP addresses, verify again that we are not sending invalid IP
addresses, and log an error if it happens. (Thanks Complication, ptm,
and adab!)
* 2005-09-29 0.6.1 released
2005-09-29 jrandom
* Let syndie users modify their metadata.
* Reseed the router on startup if there aren't enough peer references
known locally. This can be disabled by creating the file .i2pnoreseed
in your home directory, and the existing detection and reseed handling
on the web interface is unchanged.
2005-09-28 jrandom
* Fix for at least some (all?) of the wrong stream errors in the streaming
lib
2005-09-27 jrandom
* Properly suggest filenames for attachments in Syndie (thanks all!)
* Fixed the Syndie authorization scheme for single user vs. multiuser
2005-09-27 jrandom
* I2PTunnel bugfix (thanks Complication!)
* Increase the SSU cwin slower during congestion avoidance (at k/cwin^2
instead of k/cwin)
* Limit the number of inbound SSU sessions being built at once (using
half of the i2np.udp.maxConcurrentEstablish config prop)
* Don't shitlist on a message send failure alone (unless there aren't any
common transports).
* More careful bandwidth bursting
2005-09-26 jrandom
* Reworded the SSU introductions config section (thanks duck!)
* Force identity content encoding for I2PTunnel httpserver requests
(thanks redzara!)
* Further x-i2p-gzip bugfixes for the end of streams
* Reduce the minimum bandwidth limits to 3KBps steady and burst (though
I2P's performance at 3KBps is another issue)
* Cleaned up some streaming lib structures
2005-09-25 jrandom
* Allow reseeding on the console if the netDb knows less than 30 peers,
rather than less than 10 (without internet connectivity, we keep the
last 15 router references)
* Reenable the x-i2p-gzip HTTP processing by default, flushing the stream
more aggressively.
* Show the status that used to be called "ERR-Reject" as "OK (NAT)"
* Reduced the default maximum number of streaming lib resends of a packet
(10 retransmits is a bit much with a reasonable RTO)
2005-09-25 Complication
* Better i2paddresshelper handling in the I2PTunnel httpclient, plus a new
conflict resolution page if the i2paddresshelper parameter differs from
an existing name to destination mapping.
2005-09-25 jrandom
* Fix a long standing streaming lib bug (in the inactivity detection code)
* Improved handling of initial streaming lib packet retransmissions to
kill the "lost first packet" bug (where a page shows up with the first
few KB missing)
* Add support for initial window sizes greater than 1 - useful for
eepsites to transmit e.g. 4 packets full of data along with the initial
ACK, thereby cutting down on the rtt latency. The congestion window
size can and does still shrink down to 1 packet though.
* Adjusted the streaming lib retransmission calculation algorithm to be
more TCP-like.
2005-09-21 redzara
* Use ISO-8859-1 for the susidns xml
2005-09-21 susi
* Bugfix in susidns for deleting entries
2005-09-21 jrandom
* Add support for HTTP POST to EepGet
* Use HTTP POST for syndie bulk fetches, since there's a lot of data to
put in that URL.
2005-09-18 jrandom
* Added support for pure 64bit linux with jbigi and the java service
wrapper (no need for jcpuid if we're on os.arch=amd64). Thanks mule
et al for help testing!
* UI cleanup in Syndie (thanks gloin and bar!)
2005-09-18 Ragnarok
* Made MetaNamingService the default naming service.
2005-09-17 Ragnarok
* Implemented a naming service using Syndie's petname db. It's not enabled
by default, but you can try it out by setting
i2p.naming.impl=net.i2p.client.naming.PetNameNamingService in
router.config.
* Implemented a meta naming service that will first lookup names in the
PetNameNamingService then fallback on the HostTxtNamingService. Which
naming services are checked and in which order is specified by
i2p.nameservicelist. This will probably become the default naming service
so please help test it out by setting
i2p.naming.impl=net.i2p.client.naming.MetaNamingService in router.config.
* 2005-09-17 0.6.0.6 released
2005-09-17 jrandom
* Clean up syndie a bit more and bundle a default introductory post with
both new installs and updates.
* Typo fixes on the console (thanks bar!)
* Updated the bandwidth limiter to use two tiers of bandwidth - our normal
steady state rate, plus a new limit on how fast we transfer when
bursting. This is different from the old "burst as fast as possible
until we're out of tokens" policy, and should help those with congested
networks. See /config.jsp to manage this rate.
* Bugfixes in Syndie to handle missing cache files (no data was lost, the
old posts just didn't show up).
* Log properly in EepPost
2005-09-17 jrandom
* Added the natively compiled jbigi and patched java service wrapper for
OS X. Thanks Bill Dorsey for letting me use your machine!
* Don't build i2p.exe or i2pinstall.exe when run on OS X machines, as we
don't bundle the binutils necessary (and there'd be a naming conflict
if we did).
* Added 'single user' functionality to syndie - if the single user
checkbox on the admin page is checked, all users are allowed to control
the instance and sync up with remote syndie nodes.
* Temporarily disable the x-i2p-gzip in i2ptunnel until it is more closely
debugged.
2005-09-16 jrandom
* Reject unroutable IPs in SSU like we do for the TCP transport (unless
you have i2np.udp.allowLocal=true defined - useful for private nets)
2005-09-16 jrandom
* Adjust I2PTunnelHTTPServer so it can be used for outproxy operators
(just specify the spoofed host as an empty string), allowing them to
honor x-i2p-gzip encoding.
* Let windows users build the exes too (thanks bar and redzara!)
* Allow I2PTunnel httpserver operators to disable gzip compression on
individual tunnels with the i2ptunnel.gzip=false client option
(good idea susi!)
2005-09-16 jrandom
* Added the i2p.exe and i2pinstall.exe for windows users, using launch4j.
* Added runplain.sh for *nix/osx users having problems using the java
service wrapper (called from the install dir as: sh runplain.sh)
* Bundle susidns and syndie, with links on the top nav
* Have I2PTunnelHTTPClient and I2PTunnelHTTPServer use the x-i2p-gzip
content-encoding (if offered), reducing the payload size before it
reaches the streaming lib. The existing compression is at the i2cp
level, so we've been packetizing 4KB of uncompressed data and then
compressing those messages, rather than compressing and then packetizing
4KB of compressed data. This should reduce the number of round trips
to fetch web pages substantially.
* Adjust the startup and timing of the addressbook so that susidns always
has config to work off, and expose a method for susidns to tell it to
reload its config and rerun.
2005-09-15 jrandom
* Error handling for failed intro packets (thanks red.hand!)
* More carefully verify intro addresses
2005-09-13 jrandom
* More careful error handling with introductions (thanks dust!)
* Fix the forceIntroducers checkbox on config.jsp (thanks Complication!)
* Hide the shitlist on the summary so it doesn't confuse new users.
2005-09-12 comwiz
* Migrated the router tests to junit
2005-09-12 jrandom
* Removed guaranteed delivery mode entirely (so existing i2phex clients
using it can get the benefits of mode=best_effort). Guaranteed delivery
is offered at the streaming lib level.
* Improve the peer selection code for peer testing, as everyone now
supports tests.
* Give the watchdog its fangs - if it detects obscene job lag or if
clients have been unable to get a leaseSet for more than 5 minutes,
restart the router. This was disabled a year ago due to spurious
restarts, and can be disabled by "watchdog.haltOnHang=false", but the
cause of the spurious restarts should be gone.
2005-09-12 jrandom
* Bugfix for skewed store which could kill a UDP thread (causing complete
comm failure and eventual OOM)
2005-09-12 jrandom
* More aggressively publish updated routerInfo.
* Expose the flag to force SSU introductions on the router console
* Don't give people the option to disable SNTP time sync, at least not
through the router console, because there is no reason to disable it.
No, not even if your OS is "ntp synced", because chances are, its not.
2005-09-10 jrandom
* Test the router's reachability earlier and more aggressively
* Use the low level bandwidth limiter's rates for the router console, and
if the router has net.i2p.router.transport.FIFOBandwidthLimiter=INFO in
the logger config, keep track of the 1 second transfer rates as the stat
'bw.sendBps1s' and 'bw.recvBps1s', allowing closer monitoring of burst
behavior.
2005-09-09 jrandom
* Added preliminary support for NAT hole punching through SSU introducers
* Honor peer test results from peers that we have an SSU session with if
those sessions are idle for 3 minutes or more.
* New build due to change in build number :P (thanks ugha!)
2005-09-07 BarkerJr
* HTML cleanup for the router console (thanks!)
2005-09-07 jrandom
* Lay the foundation for 'client routers' - the ability for peers to opt
out of participating in tunnels entirely due to firewall/NAT issues.
Individual routers have control over where those peers are used in
tunnels - in outbound or inbound, exploratory or client tunnels, or
none at all. The defaults with this build are to simply act as before -
placing everyone as potential participants in any tunnel.
* Another part of the foundation includes the option for netDb
participants to refuse to answer queries regarding peers who are marked
as unreachable, though this too is disabled by default (meaning the
routerInfo is retrievable from the netDb).
2005-09-05 jrandom
* Expose the HTTP headers to EepGet status listeners
* Handle DSA key failures properly (if the signature is not invertable, it
is obviously invalid)
2005-09-04 jrandom
* Don't persist peer profiles until we are shutting down, as the
persistence process gobbles RAM and wall time.
* Bugfix to allow you to check/uncheck the sharedClient setting on the
* Be more careful when expiring a failed tunnel message fragment so we
don't drop the data while attempting to read it.
2005-09-02 jrandom
* Don't refuse to send a netDb store if the targetted peer has failed a
bit (the value was an arbitrary amount).
* Logging changes
2005-09-01 jrandom
* Don't send out a netDb store of a router if it is more than a few hours
old, even if someone asked us for it.
2005-08-31 jrandom
* Don't publish leaseSets to the netDb if they will never be looked for -
namely, if they are for destinations that only establish outbound
streams. I2PTunnel's 'client' and 'httpclient' proxies have been
modified to tell the router that it doesn't need to publish their
leaseSet (by setting the I2CP config option 'i2cp.dontPublishLeaseSet'
to 'true').
* Don't publish the top 10 peer rankings of each router in the netdb, as
it isn't being watched right now.
2005-08-29 jrandom
* Added the new test Floodfill netDb
2005-08-27 jrandom
* Minor logging and optimization tweaks in the router and SDK
* Use ISO-8859-1 in the XML files (thanks redzara!)
* The consolePassword config property can now be used to bypass the router
console's nonce checking, allowing CLI restarts
2005-08-24 jrandom
* Catch errors with corrupt tunnel messages more gracefully (no need to
kill the thread and cause an OOM...)
* Don't skip shitlisted peers for netDb store messages, as they aren't
necessarily shitlisted by other people (though they probably are).
* Adjust the netDb store per-peer timeout based on each particular peer's
profile (timeout = 4x their average netDb store response time)
* Don't republish leaseSets to *failed* peers - send them to peers who
replied but just didn't know the value.
* Set a 5 second timeout on the I2PTunnelHTTPServer reading the client's
HTTP headers, rather than blocking indefinitely. HTTP headers should be
sent entirely within the first streaming packet anyway, so this won't be
a problem.
* Don't use the I2PTunnel*Server handler thread pool by default, as it may
