        * If i2np.udp.fixedPort=true, never change the externally published port,
          even if we are autodetecting the IP address.

    * 2005-07-27  0.6 released
    
    2005-07-27  jrandom
        * Enabled SSU as the default top priority transport, adjusting the 
          config.jsp page accordingly.
        * Add verification fields to the SSU and TCP connection negotiation (not
          compatible with previous builds)
        * Enable the backwards incompatible tunnel crypto change as documented in
          tunnel-alt.html (have each hop encrypt the received IV before using it,
          then encrypt it again before sending it on)
        * Disable the I2CP encryption, leaving in place the end to end garlic 
          encryption (another backwards incompatible change)
        * Adjust the protocol versions on the TCP and SSU transports so that they
          won't talk to older routers.
        * Fix up the config stats handling again
        * Fix a rare off-by-one in the SSU fragmentation
        * Reduce some unnecessary netDb resending by inluding the peers queried
          successfully in the store redundancy count.

        * Use the small thread pool for I2PTunnelHTTPServer (already used for 
          I2PTunnelServer)
        * Minor memory churn reduction in I2CP
        * Small stats update

        * Fix in the SDK for a bug which would manifest itself as misrouted
          streaming packets when a destination has many concurrent streaming
          connections (thanks duck!)
        * No more "Graceful shutdown in -18140121441141s"

        * Further preparation for removing I2CP crypto
        * Added some validation to the DH key agreement (thanks $anon)
        * Validate tunnel data message expirations (though not really a problem, 
          since tunnels expire)
        * Minor PRNG threading cleanup

          page which meant only the first checkbox selection was saved.

        * Fixed a recently injected bug in the multitransport bidding which had 
          allowed an essentially arbitrary choice of transports, rather than the
          properly ordered choice.

        * Fixed a long standing bug where we weren't properly comparing session 
          tags but instead largely depending upon comparing their hashCode, 
          causing intermittent decryption errors.

        * Reduced the growth factor on the slow start and congestion avoidance for
          the streaming lib.
        * Adjusted some of the I2PTunnelServer threading to use a small pool of
          handlers, rather than launching off new threads which then immediately
          launch off an I2PTunnelRunner instance (which launches 3 more threads..)
        * Don't persist session keys / session tags (not worth it, for now)
        * Added some detection and handling code for duplicate session tags being
          delivered (root cause still not addressed)
        * Make the PRNG's buffer size configurable (via the config property
          "i2p.prng.totalBufferSizeKB=4096")
        * Disable SSU flooding by default (duh)
        * Updates to the StreamSink apps for better throttling tests.

        * Use a buffered PRNG, pulling the PRNG data off a larger precalculated 
          buffer, rather than the underlying PRNG's (likely small) one, which in
          turn reduces the frequency of recalcing.
        * More tuning to reduce temporary allocation churn

        * Within the tunnel, use xor(IV, msg[0:16]) as the flag to detect dups, 
          rather than the IV by itself, preventing an attack that would let 
          colluding internal adversaries tag a message to determine that they are
          in the same tunnel.  Thanks dvorak for the catch!
        * Drop long inactive profiles on startup and shutdown
        * /configstats.jsp: web interface to pick what stats to log
        * Deliver more session tags to account for wider window sizes
        * Cache some intermediate values in our HMACSHA256 and BC's HMAC
        * Track the client send rate (stream.sendBps and client.sendBpsRaw)
        * UrlLauncher: adjust the browser selection order
        * I2PAppContext: hooks for dummy HMACSHA256 and a weak PRNG
        * StreamSinkClient: add support for sending an unlimited amount of data
        * Migrate the tests out of the default build jars

          before 0.6 is out, but its a start.

        * Reduce the peer profile stat coallesce overhead by inlining it with the 
          reorganize.
        * Limit each transport to at most one address (any transport that requires
          multiple entry points can include those alternatives in the address).

        * More fixes for the I2PTunnel "other" interface handling (thanks nelgin!)
        * Add back the code to handle bids from multiple transports (though there
          is still only one transport enabled by default)
        * Adjust the router's queueing of outbound client messages when under 
          heavy load by running the preparatory job in the client's I2CP handler
          thread, thereby blocking additional outbound messages when the router is
          hosed.
        * No need to validate or persist a netDb entry if we already have it

        * Added button to router console for manual update checks.

          every time the form was submitted even if it hadn't changed.

        * Added a pool of PRNGs using a different synchronization technique, 
          hopefully sufficient to work around IBM's PRNG bugs until we get our
          own Fortuna.
        * In the streaming lib, don't jack up the RTT on NACK, and have the window
          size bound the not-yet-ready messages to the peer, not the unacked 
          message count (not sure yet whether this is worthwile).
        * Many additions to the messageHistory log.
        * Handle out of order tunnel fragment delivery (not an issue on the live 
          net with TCP, but critical with UDP).

    2005-04-20  jrandom
        * In the SDK, we don't actually need to block when we're sending a message
          as BestEffort (and these days, we're always sending BestEffort).
        * Pass out client messages in fewer (larger) steps.
        * Have the InNetMessagePool short circuit dispatch requests.
        * Have the message validator take into account expiration to cut down on
          false positives at high transfer rates.
        * Allow configuration of the probabalistic window size growth rate in the 
          streaming lib's slow start and congestion avoidance phases, and default 
          them to a more conservative value (2), rather than the previous value 
          (1).
        * Reduce the ack delay in the streaming lib to 500ms
        * Honor choke requests in the streaming lib (only affects those getting
          insanely high transfer rates)
        * Let the user specify an interface besides 127.0.0.1 or 0.0.0.0 on the
          I2PTunnel client page (thanks maestro^!)

        * Added the possibility for i2ptunnel client and httpclient instances to 
          have their own i2p session (and hence, destination and tunnels).  By 
          default, tunnels are shared, but that can be changed on the web 
          interface or with the sharedClient config option in i2ptunnel.config.
    
    2005-04-17  jrandom
        * Marked the net.i2p.i2ptunnel.TunnelManager as deprecated.  Anyone use
          this?  If not, I want to drop it (lots of tiny details with lots of 
          duplicated semantics).

        * Revamp the tunnel building throttles, fixing a situation where the 
          rebuild may not recover, and defaulting it to unthrottled (users with
          slow CPUs may want to set "router.tunnel.shouldThrottle=true" in their
          advanced router config)

        * Security improvements to TrustedUpdate: signing and verification of the
          version string along with the data payload for signed update files
          (consequently the positions of the DSA signature and version string fields
          have been swapped in the spec for the update file's header); router will
          no longer perform a trusted update if the signed update's version is lower
          than or equal to the currently running router's version.
        * Added two new CLI commands to TrustedUpdate: showversion, verifyupdate.
        * Extended TrustedUpdate public API for use by third party applications.

        * After a successfull netDb search for a leaseSet, republish it to all of 
          the peers we have tried so far who did not give us the key (up to 10),
          rather than the old K closest (which may include peers who had given us
          the key)
        * Don't wait 5 minutes to publish a leaseSet (duh!), and rather than 
          republish it every 5 minutes, republish it every 3.  In addition, always
          republish as soon as the leaseSet changes (duh^2).
        * Minor fix for oddball startup race (thanks travis_bickle!)
        * Minor AES update to allow in-place decryption.

    2005-03-29  jrandom
        * Decreased the initial RTT estimate to 10s to allow more retries.
        * Increased the default netDb store replication factor from 2 to 6 to take
          into consideration tunnel failures.
        * Address some statistical anonymity attacks against the netDb that could 
          be mounted by an active internal adversary by only answering lookups for 
          leaseSets we received through an unsolicited store.
        * Don't throttle lookup responses (we throttle enough elsewhere)
        * Fix the NewsFetcher so that it doesn't incorrectly resume midway through
          the file (thanks nickster!)
        * Updated the I2PTunnel HTML (thanks postman!)
        * Added support to the I2PTunnel pages for the URL parameter "passphrase",
          which, if matched against the router.config "i2ptunnel.passphrase" value,
          skips the nonce check.  If the config prop doesn't exist or is blank, no
          passphrase is accepted.
        * Implemented HMAC-SHA256.
        * Enable the tunnel batching with a 500ms delay by default
        * Dropped compatability with 0.5.0.3 and earlier releases

        * Implemented the news fetch / update policy code, as configurated on
          /configupdate.jsp.  Defaults are to grab the news every 24h (or if it
          doesn't exist yet, on startup).  No action is taken however, though if
          the news.xml specifies that a new release is available, an option to
          update will be shown on the router console.
        * New initialNews.xml delivered with new installs, and moved news.xml out
          of the i2pwww module and into the i2p module so that we can bundle it 
          within each update.

        * New /configupdate.jsp page for controlling the update / notification 
          process, as well as various minor related updates.  Note that not all
          options are exposed yet, and the update detection code isn't in place
          in this commit - it currently says there is always an update available.
        * New EepGet component for reliable downloading, with a CLI exposed in
          java -cp lib/i2p.jar net.i2p.util.EepGet url
        * Added a default signing key to the TrustedUpdate component to be used
          for verifying updates.  This signing key can be authenticated via
          gpg --verify i2p/core/java/src/net/i2p/crypto/TrustedUpdate.java
        * New public domain SHA1 implementation for the DSA code so that we can
          handle signing streams of arbitrary size without excess memory usage
          (thanks P.Verdy!)
        * Added some helpers to the TrustedUpdate to work off streams and to offer
          a minimal CLI: 
              TrustedUpdate keygen pubKeyFile privKeyFile
              TrustedUpdate sign origFile signedFile privKeyFile
              TrustedUpdate verify signedFile

        * Fixed the tunnel fragmentation handler to deal with multiple fragments 
          in a single message properly (rather than release the buffer into the 
          cache after processing the first one) (duh!)
        * Added the batching preprocessor which will bundle together multiple 
          small messages inside a single tunnel message by delaying their delivery 
          up to .5s, or whenever the pending data will fill a full message, 
          whichever comes first.  This is disabled at the moment, since without the
          above bugfix widely deployed, lots and lots of messages would fail.
        * Within each tunnel pool, stick with a randomly selected peer for up to
          .5s before randomizing and selecting again, instead of randomizing the
          pool each time a tunnel is needed.

        * Adjust the stats published to include only the relevent ones
        * Only show the currently used speed calculation on the profile page
        * Allow the full max # resends to be sent, rather than piggybacking the
          RESET packet along side the final resend (duh)
        * Add irc.postman.i2p to the default list of IRC servers for new installs
        * Drop support for routers running 0.5 or 0.5.0.1 while maintaining 
          backwards compatability for users running 0.5.0.2.

        * Update the old speed calculator and associated profile data points to 
          use a non-tiered moving average of the tunnel test time, avoiding the 
          freshness issues of the old tiered speed stats. 
        * Explicitly synchronize all of the methods on the PRNG, rather than just
          the feeder methods (sun and kaffe only need the feeder, but it seems ibm
          needs all of them synchronized).
        * Properly use the tunnel tests as part of the profile stats.
        * Don't flood the jobqueue with sequential persist profile tasks, but 
          instead, inject a brief scheduling delay between them.
        * Reduce the TCP connection establishment timeout to 20s (which is still
          absurdly excessive)
        * Reduced the max resend delay to 30s so we can get some resends in when
          dealing with client apps that hang up early (e.g. wget)
        * Added more alternative socketManager factories (good call aum!)

        * Adjust the old speed calculator to include end to end RTT data in its 
          estimates, and use that as the primary speed calculator again.
        * Use the mean of the high capacity speeds to determine the fast 
          threshold, rather than the median.  Perhaps we should use the mean of
          all active non-failing peers?
        * Updated the profile page to sort by tier, then alphabetically.

        * New strict speed calculator that goes off the actual number of messages
          verifiably sent through the peer by way of tunnels.  Initially, this only
          contains the successful message count on inbound tunnels, but may be 
          augmented later to include verified outbound messages, peers queried in 
          the netDb, etc.  The speed calculation decays quickly, but should give
          a better differential than the previous stat (both values are shown on 
          the /profiles.jsp page)
    
    
    2005-03-11  jrandom
        * Rather than the fixed resend timeout floor (10s), use 10s+RTT as the 
          minimum (increased on resends as before, of course).
        * Always prod the clock update listeners, even if just to tell them that 
          the time hasn't changed much.
        * Added support for explicit peer selection for individual tunnel pools,
          which will be useful in debugging but not recommended for use by normal
          end users.
        * More aggressively search for the next hop's routerInfo on tunnel join.
        * Give messages received via inbound tunnels that are bound to remote
          locations sufficient time (taking into account clock skew).
        * Give alternate direct send messages sufficient time (10s min, not 5s)
        * Always give the end to end data message the explicit timeout (though the
          old default was sufficient before)
        * No need to give end to end messages an insane expiration (+2m), as we 
          are already handling skew on the receiving side.
        * Don't complain too loudly about expired TunnelCreateMessages (at least,
          not until after all those 0.5 and 0.5.0.1 users upgrade ;)
        * Properly keep the sendBps stat
        * When running the router with router.keepHistory=true, log more data to
          messageHistory.txt

          individual client tunnels, rather than sharing them across all of them,
          as we do with the session options.  This way people can (and should) set
          the irc proxy to interactive and the eepproxy to bulk.
        * Added a startRouter.sh script to new installs which simply calls 
          "sh i2prouter start".  This should make it clear how people should start
          I2P.

        * Implement custom reusable GZIP streams to both reduce memory churn
          and prevent the exposure of data in the standard GZIP header (creation
          time, OS, etc).  This is RFC1952 compliant, and backwards compatible, 
          though has only been tested within the confines of I2P's compression use
          (DataHelper.[de]compress).
        * Preemptively support the next protocol version, so that after the 0.5.0.2

        * Don't add new RepublishLeaseSetJobs on failure, just requeue up the 
          existing one (duh)
        * Throttle the number of concurrent pending tunnel builds across all 
          pools, in addition to simply throttling the number of new requests per 
          minute for each pool individually.  This should avoid the cascading 
          failure when tunnel builds take too long, as no new builds will be 
          created until the previous ones are handled.
        * Factored out and extended the DataHelper's unit tests for dealing with 
          long and date formatting.
        * Explicitly specify the HTTP auth realm as "i2prouter", though this 
          alone doesn't address the bug where jetty asks for authentication too

          router/doc/tunnel-alt.html, including updates to the web console to view
          and tweak it.  
        * Provide the means for routers to reject tunnel requests with a wider 
          range of responses:
            probabalistic rejection, due to approaching overload
            transient rejection, due to temporary overload
            bandwidth rejection, due to persistent bandwidth overload
            critical rejection, due to general router fault (or imminent shutdown)
          The different responses are factored into the profiles accordingly.
        * Replaced the old I2CP tunnel related options (tunnels.depthInbound, etc)
          with a series of new properties, relevent to the new tunnel routing code:
            inbound.nickname (used on the console)
            inbound.quantity (# of tunnels to use in any leaseSets)
            inbound.backupQuantity (# of tunnels to keep in the ready)
            inbound.length (# of remote peers in the tunnel)
            inbound.lengthVariance (if > 0, permute the length by adding a random # 
                                    up to the variance.  if < 0, permute the length
                                    by adding or subtracting a random # up to the 
                                    variance)
            outbound.* (same as the inbound, except for the, uh, outbound tunnels
                        in that client's pool)
          There are other options, and more will be added later, but the above are

        * Enable a poor-man's interactive-flow in the streaming lib by choking the
          max window size.
        * Reduced the default streaming lib max message size to 16KB (though still
          configurable by the user), also doubling the default maximum window 
          size.
        * Replaced the RouterIdentity in a Lease with its SHA256 hash.
        * Reduced the overall I2NP message checksum from a full 32 byte SHA256 to
          the first byte of the SHA256.
        * Added a new "netId" flag to let routers drop references to other routers
          who we won't be able to talk to.
        * Extended the timestamper to get a second (or third) opinion whenever it 
          wants to actually adjust the clock offset.
        * Replaced that kludge of a timestamp I2NP message with a full blown 
          DateMessage.
        * Substantial memory optimizations within the router and the SDK to reduce
          GC churn.  Client apps and the streaming libs have not been tuned, 
          however.

        * Reduce the barrier to dropping session tags on streaming lib resends -
          every fourth send should drop the tags, forcing ElGamal encryption.  This
          will help speed up the recovery after a disconnect, rather than the drop
          every fifth send.

          one and restart the router.  Alternately, you can run the Router with 
          the single command line argument "rebuild" and it will do the same.

          connections with a default size of 5, configurable via the I2PTunnel 
          client option 'i2ptunnel.numConnectionBuilders' (if set to 0, it will
          not throttle the number of concurrent builders, but will launch a thread
          per socket during establishment).  In addition, sockets accepted but
          not yet allocated to one of the connection builders will be destroyed
          after 30 seconds, configurable via 'i2ptunnel.maxWaitTime' (if set to
          0, it will wait indefinitely).

          the stat 'tcp.disconnectAfterSkew'.

          reasons, this is being kludged into a DeliveryStatusMessage (ewww).  The
          next time we have a backwards compatability break, we can put in a proper

        * Reenable the probabalistic drop on the TCP queues to deal with good old
          fashioned bandwidth limiting.  However, by default the probability is
          rigged to reserve 0% of the queue free - meaning we just aggressively
          fail messages in the queue if we're transferring too slowly.  That
          reservation factor can be increased with 'tcp.queueFreeFactor=0.25'
          (or whatever) and the drop code can be disabled with the parameter
          'tcp.dropProbabalistically=false'.
        * Still penalize a peer on tunnel failure, but don't immediately drop 
          their capacity to 0.

        * Implemented tunnel rejection based on bandwidth usage (rejecting tunnels
          proportional to the bytes allocated in existing tunnels vs the bytes 
          allowed through the bandwidth limiter).
        * Enable a new configuration parameter for triggering a tunnel rebuild 
          (tunnel.maxTunnelFailures), where that is the max allowed test failures
          before killing the tunnel (default 0).
        * Gather more data that we rank capacity by (now we monitor and balance the
          data from 10m/30m/60m/1d instead of just 10m/60m/1d).
