* 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
2005-03-18 jrandom
* Minor tweak to the timestamper to help reduce small skews
* 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.
2005-03-06 jrandom
* Allow the I2PTunnel web interface to select streaming lib options for
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.
* Fixed the braindead tunnel testing logic
* If a large number of tunnels are failing (within the last 5-10 minutes)
and the current tunnel pool's configuration allows it, randomly build a
zero hop tunnel to replace failed tunnels.
* Enable postman's POP3 and SMTP tunnels by default
* (Merged the 0.5-pre branch back into CVS HEAD)
* Replaced the old tunnel routing crypto with the one specified in
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
the most relevent ones.
* Replaced Jetty 4.2.21 with Jetty 5.1.2
* Compress all profile data on disk.
* Adjust the reseeding functionality to work even when the JVM's http proxy
is set.
* 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.
* More bugfixes thank you can shake a stick at.
2005-02-13 jrandom
* Updated jbigi source to handle 64bit CPUs. The bundled jbigi.jar still
only contains 32bit versions, so build your own, placing libjbigi.so in
your install dir if necessary. (thanks mule!)
* Added support for libjbigi-$os-athlon64 to NativeBigInteger and CPUID
(thanks spaetz!)
* i2pProxy.pac, i2pbench.sh, and i2ptest.sh are now shipped with the dist
packages and installed to $i2pinstalldir/scripts.
* Added command line params to i2ptest.sh and i2pbench.sh: --gij to run them
using gij + libgcj, and --sourcedir to run them from the source tree
instead of the installation directory.
* Fixed unreachable for() statement clause in the KBucketImpl class that was
causing gcj to toss a compilation warning (jrandom++).
2005-01-06 jrandom
* Added a startup message to the addressbook, printing its version number
to stdout (which is sent to wrapper.config) when it loads.
* Updated the addressbook to reread the config file periodically
* Added orion.i2p to the list of eepsites on the default homepage
* Cleaned up the postinstall/startup scripts a bit more to handle winME,
and added windows info to the headless docs. (thanks ardvark!)
* Fixed a harmless (yet NPE inspiring) race during the final shutdown of
a stream (thanks frosk!)
* Add a pair of new stats for monitoring tunnel participation -
tunnel.participatingBytesProcessed (total # bytes transferred) and
tunnel.participatingBytesProcessedActive (total # bytes transferred for
tunnels whose byte count exceed the 10m average). This should help
further monitor congestion issues.
* Made the NamingService factory property public (thanks susi!)
* Added a new i2ptunnel type: 'httpserver', allowing you to specify what
hostname should be sent to the webserver. By default, new installs will
have an httpserver pointing at their jetty instance with the spoofed
name 'mysite.i2p' (editable on the /i2ptunnel/edit.jsp page).
* Use a simpler and less memory intensive job for processing outbound
client messages when the session is in mode=bestEffort. We can
immediately discard the data as soon as its sent the first time,
rather than wait for an ack, since we will never internally resend.
* Reduce some synchronization to avoid a rare deadlock
* Replaced 'localhost' with 127.0.0.1 in the i2ptunnel config, and special
case it within the tunnel controller.
* Script cleanup for building jbigi/jcpuid
* Logging
2004-12-01 jrandom
* Fixed a stupid typo that inadvertantly allowed persistent HTTP
connections to work (thanks duck!)
* Make sure we override the inactivity timeout too
2004-12-01 jrandom
* Strip out any of the Accept-* HTTP header lines, and always make sure to
include the forged User-agent header.
* Adjust the default read timeout on the eepproxy to 60s, unless
overridden.
* Minor tweak on stream shutdown.
* Reduced contention for local client delivery
* Drop the new code that munges the wrapper.config. Instead, updates that
need to change it will include their own wrapper.config in the
i2pupdate.zip, overwriting the existing file. If the file
"wrapper.config.updated" is included, it is deleted at first opportunity
and the router shut down, displaying a notice that the router must be
started again cleanly to allow the changes to the wrapper.config to take
effect.
* Properly stop accept()ing I2PSocket connections if we close down the
session (duh).
* Make sure we cancel any outstanding Packets in flight when a connection
is terminated (thanks susi!)
* Split up the I2PTunnel closing a little further.
* Revised the installer to include start menu and desktop shortcuts for
windows platforms, including pretty icons (thanks DrWoo!)
* Allow clients specified in clients.config to have an explicit startup
delay.
* Update the default install to launch a browser pointing at the console
whenever I2P starts up, rather than only the first time it starts up
(configurable on /configservice.jsp, or in clients.config)
* Bugfix to the clock skew checking code to monitor the delta between
offsets, not the offset itself (duh)
* Router console html update
* New (and uuuuugly) code to verify that the wrapper.config contains
the necessary classpath entries on update. If it has to update the
wrapper.config, it will stop the JVM and service completely, since the
java service wrapper doesn't reread the wrapper.config on JVM restart -
requiring the user to manually restart the service after an update.
* Increase the TCP connection timeout to 30s (which is obscenely long)
------------------------------------------------
* Update the I2PTunnel web interface to include an option for the new
streaming lib (which is ignored until the 0.4.2 release).
* Revised the I2PTunnel web interface to keep the I2CP options of client
and httpclient tunnels in sync, as they all share the same I2CP session.
* Fix a strange race condition on i2cp client disconnect.
* win98 startup fixes (thanks tester-1 and ardvark!)
* include build scripts for the new streaming lib (which is NOT ready
for use yet, but you can hack around with it)
(enjoy, duck)
2004-09-30 jrandom
* Bundle the configuration necessary to run an eepsite out of the box
with Jetty - simply edit ./eepsite/docroot/index.html and give people
the key listed on the I2PTunnel configuration page, and its up.
* Router console cleanup, and some (off by default) tunnels -
smtp.postman.i2p (port 7659), pop.postman.i2p (port 7660), and
irc.baffled.i2p (port 7661)
* Bundle the configuration necessary to run an eepsite out of the box
with Jetty - simply edit ./eepsite/docroot/index.html and give people
the key listed on the I2PTunnel configuration page, and its up.
plus minor bugfixes / refactoring / logging
2004-09-08 jrandom
* Updated the "Active:" peer count to display the # of connections as well
as the number of recently active router identities.
* Implement some basic updating code - on startup, if there is a file named
"i2pupdate.zip" in the I2P installation directory, extract it, delete it,
then restart.
* Added an ugly little script to allow launching the router on win9x
machines without a dos box (using javaw to run a .bat file).
* Logging updates.
* Updated VERSION constants to 0.4.0.1
hopefully any other affected *nix systems) now properly discards non-
essential directories after installation.
* Support for Win9x in the installer and postinstall.bat.
* Changed the name of the default installation directory on all platforms
from "I2P" to "i2p" in the installer.
* Changed "wrapper.conf" to "wrapper.config" for naming consistency with the
other configuration files.
* Write the native libraries to the current directory when they are loaded
from a resource, and load them from that file on subsequent runs (in
turn, we no longer *cough* delete the running libraries...)
* Added support for a graceful restart.
* Added new pseudo-shutdown hook specific to the router, allowing
applications to request tasks to be run when the router shuts down. We
use this for integration with the service manager, since otherwise a
graceful shutdown would cause a timeout, followed by a forced hard
shutdown.
* Handle a bug in the SimpleTimer with requeued tasks.
* Made the capacity calculator a bit more dynamic by not outright ignoring
the otherwise valid capacity data for a period with a single rejected
tunnel (except for the 10 minute period). In addition, peers with an
equal capacity are ordered by speed rather than by their hashes.
* Cleaned up the SimpleTimer, addressing some threading and synchronization
issues.
* When an I2PTunnel client or httpclient is explicitly closed, destroy the
associated session (unless there are other clients using it), and deal
with a closed session when starting a new I2PTunnel instance.
* Refactoring and logging.
* Address a race condition in the key management code that would manifest
itself as a corrupt router identity.
* Properly clear old transport addresses from being displayed on the old
console after soft restarts.
* Properly refuse to load the client applications more than once in the
same JVM.
* Added support for a graceful restart (a graceful shutdown followed by a
full JVM restart - useful for restarting client apps).
* More defensive programming, HTML cleanup, logging
* wrapper.config cleanup of duplicate lines
* Added some basic guards to prevent multiple instances from running.
Specifically, a file "router.ping" in the install directory which is
written to once a minute - if that file exists and has been modified
within the last minute, refuse to start up. In turn, adjust the
service wrapper to wait a minute before restarting a crashed JVM.
* Create a "work" directory in the I2P install dir which Jetty will
use for all of its temporary files.
* Tell the browser not to cache most of the router console's pages.
* Updated default wrapper.config to deal with the hard restart option
* Include the history.txt in the /help.jsp page
* HTML updates (wrapper.log, and no more unix scripts)
* Updated VERSION constants to 0.4
* Bugfix: Installer launches postinstall.bat on WinNT/2K properly.
* Temporarily removed install_i2p_service_unix and
uninstall_i2p_service_unix from distribution packages.
* postinstall.bat/postinstall.sh cleans installation directory of all files
not applicable to the host OS.
* default the i2ptunnel listen interface to 127.0.0.1, not 0.0.0.0
* add a client tunnel listening on port 2401 pointing at cvs.i2p (but *not* started by default)
(freshcoffee.i2p's logo is definitely cool, but imho brings too much of a "java" connotation. perhaps we can use it on the "prerequisites: get java" page?)
