    * Increment to 0.7.5-10
    * Tidy up layout of readme.* files.
    * Work on console css to make it more Opera/webkit friendly.
    * Other cosmetic tweaks.

    * Build: Add readme*.html files to the udpater
    * Build Handler: Don't reject for conn limits if class O,
      under the assumption that they are already talking
      to most of the routers, so there's no reason to reject. This may drive them
      to their conn. limits, but it's hopefully a temporary solution to the
      tunnel build congestion. As the net grows this will have to be revisited.
    * Throttle: Increase default max tunnels to 3000,
      to give us more capacity during congestion
    * Tunnels: Change the default variance from 1 to 0.
      Under the one-packet-enough theory, and the fact that most
      tunnels in a x+1 pool are of length x, variable lengths
      don't really help that much. Also, a default of 1 led
      to all sorts of problems with iMule/SAM, who was not
      setting the variance properties.
      This will affect exploratory tunnels for new users,
      and those that have never saved a change on configtunnels.jsp,
      and iMule users 1.4.5 and earlier.

    * Add configui.jsp
    * orange flash remove take 2

    * netdb.jsp: Fix bad tag causing orange mouseovers

2009-07-11 dr|z3d
    * More enhancements to the router console, consolidation of the
      light and dark themes.     
      - Apply new themes with routerconsole.theme=light/dark/classic
        added to advanced config.

2009-07-11 zzz
    * Build Handler: Drop rather than reject requests when near
      conn limits and the next hop is not connected, to reduce
      connection congestion
    * Console: Force IE to the classic theme
    * I2PSnark:
      - Bring back details links for Postman2 B64 torrents
    * I2PTunnel:
      - Make reduce-on-idle the default for all the shared clients
        for new installs (15m)
    * Profile Organizer:
      - Allow NTCP-only peers in inbound tunnels
    * Transports:
      - Move from a single connection limit threshold (80%) to
        two (75% and 87%), and only start rejecting tunnels
        at the higher threshold, to increase build success
      - Move some limit methods from the transports to TransportImpl
      - Add limit methods with a threshold argument
      - Increase default SSU conn limits a little more

2009-07-07  dr|z3d
    * Introducing 2 new console themes (light & dark), in addition
      to changes to the console navigation; navbar now resides in 
      the sidepanel and other stuff besides. More to follow!

2009-07-06 zzz
    * Console: Fix small textareas on Opera
    * EepGet: Don't send X-Accept-Encoding for non-proxied fetches
    * HTTP Proxy: Limit proxy.i2p to /themes/ directory
    * I2PSnark:
      - Change postman2 announce URL to use hostname rather than B64
      - Shorten torrent name to fit better on one line
    * I2PTunnel:
      - Add edit text
      - Fix broken favicon
    * Move almost all uses of StringBuffer to StringBuilder,
      for efficiency (thanks Arsene for the suggestion)
    * Reseed:
      - Fix console status messages broken by global replace
      - Remove tino, add b.netdb.i2p2.de
    * SSUDemo: Move to the router/java/test directory
    * Startup: Log clients.config problems
    * Transport: Implement NTCP auto-transition from an
      address to no address, so that inbound NTCP is disabled
      after SSU detects a firewall. When UPnP was apparently successful
      but the router is still firewalled (due to an additional
      software firewall or a bad UPnP indication, for example)
      the router will now remove the NTCP address.

    * Added X-I2P-DestB64 and X-I2P-DestB32 http headers

    * Big directory rework:
      Eliminate all uses of the current working directory, and
      set up multiple directories specified by absolute paths for various uses.

      Add a WorkingDir class to create a user config directory and
      migrate certain files to it for new installs.
      The directory will be $HOME/.i2p on linux and %APPDATA%\I2P on Windows,
      or as specified in the system property -Di2p.dir.config=/path/to/i2pdir
      All files except for the base install and temp files will be
      in the config directory by default.
      Temp files will be in a i2p-xxxxx subdirectory of the system temp directory
      specified by the system property java.io.tmpdir.

      Convert all file opens in the code to be relative to a specific directory,
      as specified in the context. Code and applications should never open
      files relative to the current working directory (e.g. new File("foo")).
      All files should be accessed in the appropriate context directory,
      e.g. new File(_context.getAppDir(), "foo").

      The router.config file location may be specified as a system property on the
      java command line with -Drouter.configLocation=/path/to/router.config
      All directories may be specified as properties in the router.config file.

      There will be no migration from an existing installation
      unless the system property -Di2p.dir.migrate=true is set.
      If there is no migration, it will continue to use $I2P for all files,
      except for temporary and PID files.

      The following linux scripts are now customized with the install path at,
      installation, and may be moved to /usr/local/bin and run from any
      working directory:
          eepget, i2prouter, runplain.sh

      For new installs, the i2p base directory ($I2P) may be read-only
      if updates are disabled. The only time i2p should write to the base directory
      is to unzip the update file. Updates are downloaded to the config dir. If, upon
      restart, the base dir is not writable, it will log a message and continue.

      Additional information, copied from I2PAppContext:

          *  Directories. These are all set at instantiation and will not be changed by
          *  subsequent property changes.
          *  All properties, if set, should be absolute paths.
          *
          *  Name	Property 	Method		Files
          *  -----	-------- 	-----		-----
          *  Base	i2p.dir.base	getBaseDir()	lib/, webapps/, docs/, geoip/, licenses/, ...
          *  Temp	i2p.dir.temp	getTempDir()	Temporary files
          *  PID	i2p.dir.pid	getPIDDir()	router.ping
          *  Config	i2p.dir.config	getConfigDir()	*.config, hosts.txt, addressbook/, ...
          *
          *  (the following all default to the same as Config)
          *
          *  Router	i2p.dir.router	getRouterDir()	netDb/, peerProfiles/, router.*, keyBackup/, ...
          *  Log	i2p.dir.log	getLogDir()	logs/
          *  App	i2p.dir.app	getAppDir()	eepsite/, ...
          *
          *  Note that the router can't control where the wrapper actually puts its files.

      All these will be set appropriately in a Router Context.
      In an I2P App Context, all except Temp and PID will be the current working directory.

      Related changes:
      i2prouter:
      - Don't cd to script location, no longer required
      jbigi, cpuid:
      - Extract files from jar to temp dir, load from that dir, then
        copy to the base dir if we have permissions (and failing silently
        if we don't), so we have optimized libs and no complaints
        when we have a read-only base dir.
      logs.jsp:
      - Get wrapper log location from a property too
      - Display log file locations
      RouterLaunch:
      - If no wrapper, put wrapper.log in system temp dir
        unless specified with -Dwrapper.logfile=/path/to/wrapper.log
        or it already exists in CWD (for backward compatibility)
      - Append rather than replace wrapper.log
      - Pass wrapper log location to router as a property, so that logs.jsp can find it
      runplain.sh:
      - Add path substitution to runplain.sh on install
      - Pass I2P base dir to the router as a property
      Systray:

    * HTTP Proxy:
      - Add simple web server for "proxy.i2p" to serve

        for CSS, image, and favicon
    * i2psnark build:
      - Move FetchAndAdd to static inner class
      - Fix standalone build to include i2psnark.jar since classes
        aren't in the .war anymore
      - Have standalone jetty use I2PAppContext temp directory
      - Replace launch-i2psnark.jar with launch-i2psnark script,
        since RunStandalone is in i2p.jar

      - Remove standalone build from the pkg target in the main build.xml
    * Jbigi, CPUID:

    * NetDb: Fix an NPE on early shutdown
    * Reseeding / NetDb:
      - Move reseeding from the routerconsole app to
        the router, so that we can bootstrap an embedded router lacking a routerconsole
