    * Add a new AIMD throttle in SSU to control the number of concurrent
      messages being sent to a given peer, in addition to the throttle on the
      number of concurrent bytes to that peer.
    * Adjust the existing SSU outbound queue to throttle based on the queue's
      lag, not an arbitrary number of packets.

2006-02-17  jrandom
    * Properly fix the build request queue throttling, using queue age to
      detect congestion, rather than queue size.

2006-02-17  jrandom
    * Disable the message history log file by default (duh - feel free to
      delete messageHistory.txt after upgrading.  thanks deathfatty!)
    * Limit the size of the inbound tunnel build request queue so we don't
      get an insane backlog of requests that we're bound to reject, and adjust
      the queue processing so we keep on churning through them when we've got
      a backlog.
    * Small fixes for the multiuser syndie operation (thanks Complication!)
    * Renamed modified PRNG classes that were imported from gnu-crypto so we
      don't conflict with JVMs using that as a JCE provider (thanks blx!)

* 2006-02-16  0.6.1.10 released

2006-02-16  jrandom
    * Add a new toggle to the web config to enable/disable the load testing

2006-02-16  jrandom
    * Dropped much of the abandonware from the apps/ directory

2006-02-16  jrandom
    * Bugfix to the I2PTunnel web config to properly accept i2cp port settings
    * Initial sucker refactoring to simplify reuse of the html parsing
    * Beginnings of hooks to push imported rss/atom out to remote syndie
      archives automatically (though not enabled currently)
    * Further SSU peer test cleanup

2006-02-15  jrandom
    * Add in per-blog RSS feeds to Syndie
    * Upgraded sucker's ROME dependency to 0.8, bundling sucked enclosures
      with the posts, marking additional attachments as Media RSS enclosures
      (http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/), since RSS only supports one enclosure
      per item.
    * Don't allow the default syndie user to be set to something invalid if
      its in single user mode.

2006-02-15  jrandom
    * Merged in the i2p_0_6_1_10_PRE branch to the trunk, so CVS HEAD is no
      longer backwards compatible (and should not be used until 0.6.1.1 is
      out)

2006-02-14  jrandom
    * Syndie ui bugfixes (thanks all!)

2006-02-13  jrandom
    * Use the current directory for some temporary I2PSnark files, rather than
      the OS default temp dir (thanks anon!)
    * Increase the base streaming lib window size (still shrinks to 1 on
      retransmission though, of course)
    * Fixed the I2PTunnel newlines to work with lighthttpd (thanks all!)
    * Implement fast retransmit in the streaming lib (fires at most once per
      packet), and increased the default ack delay to 2 seconds (from .5s)
    * Don't ask for garlic level message acks for end to end messages unless
      they're useful (e.g. to ack session tags)

2006-02-12  cervantes
    * Use a different santisation method for some SML attributes
    * Make router console update config save button actually save.
    * Fix console bandwidth limiter burst rate dropdowns, so the display
      relates to what is saved in the config.
    
2006-02-12  cervantes
    * SML is now stricter in it's formatting (attributes should only use 
      double quotes instead of being allowed to mix with singles).
    * Using apostrophes in SML attributes will no longer invalidate the tag.
    * Some instances of [blog] tag description were not being displayed
      correctly.

2006-02-12  jrandom
    * Further SSU peer test throttling
    * Put the most common router console features on the main index page too

2006-02-11  jrandom
    * Be more careful about SSU peer test floods

2006-02-09  jrandom
    * Adjusted one of the SSU timeouts so we don't drop peers as easily (duh)

2006-02-08  jrandom
    * Added transparent support for VIA C3 CPUs to jbigi (thanks Nekow42), and
      bundled a precompiled libjbigi.so in the jbigi.jar
    * Cleaned up the synchronization for some SSU packet handling code
    * Allow explicit rejection of more lagged tunnel build requests, rather
      than dropping them outright
    * Use lighter load testing

2006-02-07  jrandom
    * Handle HTTP headers without any values (thanks Sugadude!)
    * Don't show the option to make Syndie multiuser, since very few people
      need it, and multiuser mode is a lot more complex to use.  Geeks can
      enable it by adding "syndie.singleUser=false" to syndie/syndie.config
      (or in the router's advanced config, for the embedded Syndie)
    * When a peer rejects participation in a tunnel, they mean it (duh)
    * Decrease tunnel test timeout period to 20s (a 40s lag is insane)
    * Remove a throttle on the size of the SSU active outbound pool, since
      it was essentially arbitrary
    * Use a more appropriate SSU bloom filter size
    * Don't "proactively" drop SSU connections if we have partially received
      inbound messages (duh)
    * Migrate most of the message state across SSU connection reestablishment

2006-02-06  jrandom
    * Reduce the SSU retransmit timeout range, and increase the number of ACKs
      piggybacked

2006-02-05  jrandom
    * Experiment with short exponents for DH/ElGamal, using a 226bit x instead
      of a 2048bit x, as reports suggest that size is sufficient for 2048bit
      DH/ElGamal when using safe primes (see KeyGenerator.java for references)
    * Enable the messageHistory.txt by default, for debugging

2006-02-05  jrandom
    * Substantial bugfix for the duplicate message detection in the transport
      layer
    * Handle tunnel build responses ASAP, rather than queueing them up to wait
      in line (processing them is really fast - just a few AES loops)
    * Don't bother handling build requests that we have queued up for a while
      locally, as the requestor will have timed it out anyway (perhaps we
      should reply regardless, but with a backoff instead?)

2006-02-04  jrandom
    * Further tunnel test cleanup and disabling of the old tunnel creation
      code

2006-02-04  jrandom
    * Clean up and reenable the tunnel testing for the new tunnel system.

2006-02-04  jrandom
    * Don't cache the archive.txt in syndie when fetching it through the web
      interface.
    * Logging updates

2006-02-03  jrandom
    * Added further replay prevention on the tunnel build requests
    * More aggressive streaming lib closing on reset

2006-02-03  jrandom
    * More aggressive refusal of peers from the wrong network (oops)

2006-02-01  jrandom
    * Instruct the router to reseed against a new URL, for migration purposes:
      http://dev.i2p.net/i2pdb2/
    * Aggressive error handling during UDP packet creation (thanks cervantes)

2006-02-01  jrandom
    * Fix the new tunnel creation crypto, including the addition of a 4 byte
      "next message ID" to the encrypted request structure in the spec.
    * Backwards incompatible change, using the new tunnel creation crypto, the
      fixed MD5 HMAC size, and a new network ID (to prevent cross pollination
      with the old incompatible network).
    * Reworked the leaseSet request process to handle a race condition
    * Disable the TCP transport
    * Run four separate threads on the job queue to cut down on job lag

2006-01-28  jrandom
    * Removed a race that could show up in leaseSet requesting with the new
      tunnel building process

2006-01-25  jrandom
    * Run the peer profile coalescing/reorganization outside the job queue
      (on one of the timers), to cut down on some job queue congestion.  Also,
      trim old profiles while running, not just when starting up.
    * Slightly more sane intra-floodfill-node netDb activity (only flood new
      entries)
    * Workaround in the I2PTunnelHTTPServer for some bad requests (though the
      source of the bug is not yet addressed)
    * Better I2PSnark reconnection handling
    * Further cleanup in the new tunnel build process
    * Make sure we expire old participants properly
    * Remove much of the transient overload throttling (it wasn't using a good
      metric)

2006-01-25  dust
    * Fix IRC client proxy to use ISO-8859-1.

2006-01-22  jrandom
    * New tunnel build process - does not use the new crypto or new peer
      selection strategies.  However, it does drop the fallback tunnel
      procedure, except for tunnels who are configured to allow them, or for
      the exploratory pool during bootstrapping or after a catastrophic
      failure.  This new process prefers to fail rather than use too-short
      tunnels, so while it can do some pretty aggressive tunnel rebuilding,
      it may expose more tunnel failures to the user.
    * Always prefer normal tunnels to fallback tunnels.
    * Potential fix for a bug while changing i2cp settings on I2PSnark (thanks
      bar!)
    * Do all of the netDb entry writing in a separate thread, avoiding
      duplicates and batching them up.

2006-01-19  Complication
    * Explain better where eepsite's destkey can be found

2006-01-18  cervantes
    * Add title attributes to all external links in Syndie, so we can rollover
      and quickly see if it's worth clicking on.
    * Fixed a minor compiler warning.

2006-01-17  jrandom
    * First pass of the new tunnel creation crypto, specified in the new 
      router/doc/tunnel-alt-creation.html (referenced in the current
      router/doc/tunnel-alt.html).  It isn't actually used anywhere yet, other
      than in the test code, but the code verifies the technical viability, so
      further scrutiny would be warranted.

2006-01-16  cervantes
    * Dragged I2P kicking and screaming into 2006 (Oops)

2006-01-14  cervantes
    * Removed entirely misleading memory status from the console summary.
	
2006-01-13  cervantes
    * Further Syndie layout hardening and typeface balancing.

* 2006-01-12  0.6.1.9 released

2006-01-12  jrandom
    * Only create the loadtest.log if requested to do so (thanks zzz!)
    * Make sure we cleanly take into consideration the appropriate data
      points when filtering out duplicate messages in the message validator,
      and report the right bloom filter false positives rate (not used for
      anything except debugging)

2006-01-12  cervantes
    * Syndie CSS tweaks to removed some redundant declarations, improve font
      scaling and layout robustness. Improved cross browser compatibility
      (in other words "kicked IE"). Tightened the look of the blog template
      a little.

2006-01-11  Complication
    * CSS comment fixes

2006-01-11  jrandom
    * Include the attachments/blogs/etc for comments on the blog view
    * Syndie HTML fixes (thanks cervantes!)
    * Make sure we fully reset the objects going into our cache before we
      reuse them (thanks zzz!)

2006-01-10  jrandom
    * Added the per-post list of attachments/blogs/etc to the blog view in
      Syndie (though this does not yet include comments or some further
      refinements)
    * Have the I2P shortcut launch i2p.exe instead of i2psvc.exe on windows,
      removing the dox box (though also removes the restart functionality...)
    * Give the i2p.exe the correct java.library.path to support the systray
      dll (thanks Bobcat, Sugadude, anon!)

2006-01-09  jrandom
    * Removed a longstanding bug that had caused unnecessary router identity
      churn due to clock skew
    * Temporarily sanity check within the streaming lib for long pending
      writes
    * Added support for a blog-wide logo to Syndie, and automated the pushing
      of updated extended blog info data along side the metadata.

2006-01-09  jrandom
    * 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
    * Close streams more gracefully

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
      cause blockage.

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 0.6.1.6 released

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.

* 2005-11-15  0.6.1.5 released

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.

2005-11-11  cervantes
    * 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("<","&lt;") for logs.

* 2005-10-29  0.6.1.4 released

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.

2005-10-08  jrandom
    * 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. 

* 2005-10-01  0.6.1.1 released

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)

2005-09-29  ragnarok
    * Export petnames from syndie to the router's petname db instead of 
      userhosts.txt.

2005-09-29  jrandom
    * 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
