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)
