- No longer use i2np.udp.forceIntroducers
- Tweak UDP port qualification
- Fix allowing low ports again
- Add option to completely disable NTCP, for those behind nasty firewalls
- Use SSU reachability rather than global reachability for determining NTCP reachability,
since we are now reporting NTCP reachability too
- Set Status to OK for local public addresses or UPnP port open
- Allow UDP address changes after we transition to firewalled
- Have NTCP start reporting reachability status, this will
get OK on the console more often and mask UDP problems,
which might be good or bad...
- Fix UDP port configuration
- Reword and rearrange configuration options again
- Rearrange configuration help
- More right-alignment on config
- Prevent Concurrent modification exception in UPnP
- UPnP HTML output tweaks - remove "plugin" references
- Move UDP message failed log from WARN to INFO
- Short-circuit message history call in UDP
SSU reachability is OK. i2np.ntcp.autoip=always for the old behavior.
autoip default is now "true".
i2np.ntcp.hostname=xxx now trumps i2np.tcp.autoip.
- SSU always tells NTCP when status changes.
now defaults to auto; and configured now trumps auto.
Port configuration now does not affect whether inbound
NTCP is enabled - the host configuration alone can do that.
- Fixes and cleanups when NTCP and/or UDP transports disabled
- More TCP removal cleanup
- Clean up bandwidth limiting, centralize defaults
- Force burst to be >= limit
- Increase default bw to 48/24, burst 64/32
* Reachability: Restrict peers with no SSU address at all from inbound tunnels
* News:
- Add display of last updated and last checked time
on index.jsp and configupdate.jsp
- Add a function to get update version (unused for now)
* config.jsp: Add another warning
* Add auto-detect IP/Port to NTCP. When enabled on config.jsp,
SSU will notify/restart NTCP when the external address changes.
Now you can enable inbound TCP without a static IP or dyndns service.
* New NIO-based tcp transport (NTCP), enabled by default for outbound
connections only. Those who configure their NAT/firewall to allow
inbound connections and specify the external host and port
(dyndns/etc is ok) on /config.jsp can receive inbound connections.
SSU is still enabled for use by default for all users as a fallback.
* Substantial bugfix to the tunnel gateway processing to transfer
messages sequentially instead of interleaved
* Renamed GNU/crypto classes to avoid name clashes with kaffe and other
GNU/Classpath based JVMs
* Adjust the Fortuna PRNG's pooling system to reduce contention on
refill with a background thread to refill the output buffer
* Add per-transport support for the shitlist
* Add a new async pumped tunnel gateway to reduce tunnel dispatcher
contention
* Integrate basic hooks for jrobin (http://jrobin.org) into the router
console. Selected stats can be harvested automatically and fed into
in-memory RRD databases, and those databases can be served up either as
PNG images or as RRDtool compatible XML dumps (see oldstats.jsp for
details). A base set of stats are harvested by default, but an
alternate list can be specified by setting the 'stat.summaries' list on
the advanced config. For instance:
stat.summaries=bw.recvRate.60000,bw.sendRate.60000
* HTML tweaking for the general config page (thanks void!)
* Odd NPE fix (thanks Complication!)
* Moved the current net's reseed URL to a different location than where
the old net looks (dev.i2p.net/i2pdb2/ vs .../i2pdb/)
* More aggressively expire inbound messages (on receive, not just on send)
* Add in a hook for breaking backwards compatibility in the SSU wire
protocol directly by including a version as part of the handshake. The
version is currently set to 0, however, so the wire protocol from this
build is compatible with all earlier SSU implementations.
* Increased the number of complete message readers, cutting down
substantially on the delay processing inbound messages.
* Delete the message history file on startup
* Reworked the restart/shutdown display on the console (thanks bd_!)
* 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.
* Reworded the SSU introductions config section (thanks duck!)
* Force identity content encoding for I2PTunnel httpserver requests
(thanks redzara!)
* Further x-i2p-gzip bugfixes for the end of streams
* Reduce the minimum bandwidth limits to 3KBps steady and burst (though
I2P's performance at 3KBps is another issue)
* Cleaned up some streaming lib structures
2005-09-17 jrandom
* Clean up syndie a bit more and bundle a default introductory post with
both new installs and updates.
* Typo fixes on the console (thanks bar!)
* Updated the bandwidth limiter to use two tiers of bandwidth - our normal
steady state rate, plus a new limit on how fast we transfer when
bursting. This is different from the old "burst as fast as possible
until we're out of tokens" policy, and should help those with congested
networks. See /config.jsp to manage this rate.
* Bugfixes in Syndie to handle missing cache files (no data was lost, the
old posts just didn't show up).
* Log properly in EepPost
* More aggressively publish updated routerInfo.
* Expose the flag to force SSU introductions on the router console
* Don't give people the option to disable SNTP time sync, at least not
through the router console, because there is no reason to disable it.
No, not even if your OS is "ntp synced", because chances are, its not.
* HTML cleanup for the router console (thanks!)
2005-09-07 jrandom
* Lay the foundation for 'client routers' - the ability for peers to opt
out of participating in tunnels entirely due to firewall/NAT issues.
Individual routers have control over where those peers are used in
tunnels - in outbound or inbound, exploratory or client tunnels, or
none at all. The defaults with this build are to simply act as before -
placing everyone as potential participants in any tunnel.
* Another part of the foundation includes the option for netDb
participants to refuse to answer queries regarding peers who are marked
as unreachable, though this too is disabled by default (meaning the
routerInfo is retrievable from the netDb).
* Deployed the peer testing implementation to be run every few minutes on
each router, as well as any time the user requests a test manually. The
tests do not reconfigure the ports at the moment, merely determine under
what conditions the local router is reachable. The status shown in the
top left will be "ERR-SymmetricNAT" if the user's IP and port show up
differently for different peers, "ERR-Reject" if the router cannot
receive unsolicited packets or the peer helping test could not find a
collaborator, "Unknown" if the test has not been run or the test
participants were unreachable, or "OK" if the router can receive
unsolicited connections and those connections use the same IP and port.

* 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.
* (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!)
* Allow end of line comments in the hosts.txt and other config files,
using '#' to begin the comments (thanks susi!)
* Add support to I2PTunnel's 'client' feature for picking between multiple
target destinations (e.g. 'client 6668 irc.duck.i2p,irc.baffled.i2p')
* Add a quick link on the left hand nav to reseed if there aren't enough
known peers, as well as link to the config page if there are no active
peers. Revised config page accordingly.
* Limit the number of connection tags saved to 10,000. This is a huge
limit, but consumes no more than 1MB of RAM. For now, we drop them
randomly after reaching that size, forcing those dropped peers to use
a full DH negotiation.
* HTML cleanup in the console.
- set the nonce and noncePrev for the handler when rendering the form
- include the current nonce in the hidden parameter "nonce"
- include an "action" parameter (so we know we want to execute something and hence, validate the nonce, rather than just display the page)
- if the nonce submitted doesnt match what is set in the nonce or noncePrev when validating, its invalid. refuse to process

w00t! adam++
code migrated into core/java/src/net/i2p/time, integrated with Clock,
dropping that whole ugly pass-the-time-through-URL, and hence dropped
support for :7655/setTime.
New router.config properties to control the timestamper:
time.sntpServerList=pool.ntp.org,pool.ntp.org,pool.ntp.org
time.queryFrequencyMs=300000
time.disabled=false
So, to disable, add time.disabled=true to your router.config. It is
enabled by default.
Default router.config and startup scripts updated accordingly (since
timestamper.jar is now gone)
