* 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
* Implemented the news fetch / update policy code, as configurated on
/configupdate.jsp. Defaults are to grab the news every 24h (or if it
doesn't exist yet, on startup). No action is taken however, though if
the news.xml specifies that a new release is available, an option to
update will be shown on the router console.
* New initialNews.xml delivered with new installs, and moved news.xml out
of the i2pwww module and into the i2p module so that we can bundle it
within each update.
* New /configupdate.jsp page for controlling the update / notification
process, as well as various minor related updates. Note that not all
options are exposed yet, and the update detection code isn't in place
in this commit - it currently says there is always an update available.
* New EepGet component for reliable downloading, with a CLI exposed in
java -cp lib/i2p.jar net.i2p.util.EepGet url
* Added a default signing key to the TrustedUpdate component to be used
for verifying updates. This signing key can be authenticated via
gpg --verify i2p/core/java/src/net/i2p/crypto/TrustedUpdate.java
* New public domain SHA1 implementation for the DSA code so that we can
handle signing streams of arbitrary size without excess memory usage
(thanks P.Verdy!)
* Added some helpers to the TrustedUpdate to work off streams and to offer
a minimal CLI:
TrustedUpdate keygen pubKeyFile privKeyFile
TrustedUpdate sign origFile signedFile privKeyFile
TrustedUpdate verify signedFile
* Fixed the tunnel fragmentation handler to deal with multiple fragments
in a single message properly (rather than release the buffer into the
cache after processing the first one) (duh!)
* Added the batching preprocessor which will bundle together multiple
small messages inside a single tunnel message by delaying their delivery
up to .5s, or whenever the pending data will fill a full message,
whichever comes first. This is disabled at the moment, since without the
above bugfix widely deployed, lots and lots of messages would fail.
* Within each tunnel pool, stick with a randomly selected peer for up to
.5s before randomizing and selecting again, instead of randomizing the
pool each time a tunnel is needed.

* 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.
* Update the old speed calculator and associated profile data points to
use a non-tiered moving average of the tunnel test time, avoiding the
freshness issues of the old tiered speed stats.
* Explicitly synchronize all of the methods on the PRNG, rather than just
the feeder methods (sun and kaffe only need the feeder, but it seems ibm
needs all of them synchronized).
* Properly use the tunnel tests as part of the profile stats.
* Don't flood the jobqueue with sequential persist profile tasks, but
instead, inject a brief scheduling delay between them.
* Reduce the TCP connection establishment timeout to 20s (which is still
absurdly excessive)
* Reduced the max resend delay to 30s so we can get some resends in when
dealing with client apps that hang up early (e.g. wget)
* Added more alternative socketManager factories (good call aum!)
* Adjust the old speed calculator to include end to end RTT data in its
estimates, and use that as the primary speed calculator again.
* Use the mean of the high capacity speeds to determine the fast
threshold, rather than the median. Perhaps we should use the mean of
all active non-failing peers?
* Updated the profile page to sort by tier, then alphabetically.
* Added some alternative socketManager factories (good call aum!)
* New strict speed calculator that goes off the actual number of messages
verifiably sent through the peer by way of tunnels. Initially, this only
contains the successful message count on inbound tunnels, but may be
augmented later to include verified outbound messages, peers queried in
the netDb, etc. The speed calculation decays quickly, but should give
a better differential than the previous stat (both values are shown on
the /profiles.jsp page)

* Rather than the fixed resend timeout floor (10s), use 10s+RTT as the
minimum (increased on resends as before, of course).
* Always prod the clock update listeners, even if just to tell them that
the time hasn't changed much.
* Added support for explicit peer selection for individual tunnel pools,
which will be useful in debugging but not recommended for use by normal
end users.
* More aggressively search for the next hop's routerInfo on tunnel join.
* Give messages received via inbound tunnels that are bound to remote
locations sufficient time (taking into account clock skew).
* Give alternate direct send messages sufficient time (10s min, not 5s)
* Always give the end to end data message the explicit timeout (though the
old default was sufficient before)
* No need to give end to end messages an insane expiration (+2m), as we
are already handling skew on the receiving side.
* Don't complain too loudly about expired TunnelCreateMessages (at least,
not until after all those 0.5 and 0.5.0.1 users upgrade ;)
* Properly keep the sendBps stat
* When running the router with router.keepHistory=true, log more data to
messageHistory.txt
* Logging updates
* Minor formatting updates

* 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.
