* Add a new Status: line on the router console - "ERR-ClockSkew", in case
the clock is too skewed to do anything useful (check the year and month,
not just the hour and minute).
* Fixed the read/write timeouts in the streaming lib (so that it actually
honors them now)
* Minor I2PSnark cleanups (no read timeout, more careful shutdown and
torrent closing)
* Handle an oddball tunnel creation failure (thanks Xunk)
2005-12-22 jrandom
* Bundle the standalone I2PSnark launcher in the installer and update
process (launch as "java -jar launch-i2psnark.jar", viewing the
interface on http://localhost:8002/)
* Don't autostart swarming torrents by default so that you can run a
standalone I2PSnark from the I2P install dir and not have the embedded
I2PSnark autolaunch the torrents that the standalone instance is running
* Fixed a rare streaming lib bug that could let a blocking call wait
forever.
* Fix for old Syndie blog bookmarks (thanks Complication!)
* Fix for I2PSnark to accept incoming connections again (oops)
* Randomize the order that peers from the tracker are contacted
* I2PSnark logging, disconnect old inactive peers rather than new ones,
memory usage reduction, better OOM handling, and a shared connection
acceptor.
* Cleaned up the Syndie blog page and the resulting filters (viewing a
blog from the blog page shows threads started by the selected author,
not those that they merely participate in)
* 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
* Fix to drop peer references when we shitlist people again (thanks zzz!)
* Further I2PSnark fixes to deal with arbitrary torrent info attributes
(thanks Complication!)
* 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.
* 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
* 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)
* 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.
* 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)
* Update the sorting in Syndie to consider children 'newer' than parents,
even if they have the same message ID (duh)
* Cleaned up some nav links in Syndie (good idea gloin, spaetz!)
* Added a bunch of tooltips to Syndie's fields (thanks polecat!)
* Force support for nonvalidating XML in Jetty (so we can handle GCJ/etc
better)
* Be more explicit about what messages we will handle through a client
tunnel, and how we will handle them. This cuts off a set of attacks
that an active adversary could mount, though they're probably nonobvious
and would require at least some sophistication.
* 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.
* Don't publish stats for periods we haven't reached yet (thanks zzz!)
* Cleaned up the syndie threaded display to show the last updated date for
a subthread, and to highlight threads updated in the last two days.
* IE doesn't strip SPAN from <button> form fields, so add in a workaround
within I2PTunnel.
* Increase the maximum SSU retransmission timeout to accomodate slower or
more congested links (though SSU's RTO calculation will usually use a
much lower timeout)
* Moved the streaming lib timed events off the main timer queues and onto
a streaming lib specific set of timer queues. Streaming lib timed
events are more likely to have lock contention on the I2CP socket while
other timed events in the router are (largely) independent.
* Fixed a case sensitive lookup bug (thanks tino!)
* Syndie cleanup - new edit form on the preview page, and fixed some blog
links (thanks tino!)
* Implemented a trivial pure java PMTU backoff strategy, switching between
a 608 byte MTU and a 1350 byte MTU, depending upon retransmission rates.
* Fixed new user registration in Syndie (thanks Complication!)
* More aggressive I2PTunnel content encoding munging to work around some
rare HTTP behavior (ignoring q values on Accept-encoding, using gzip
even when only identity is specified, etc). I2PTunnelHTTPServer now
sends "Accept-encoding: \r\n" plus "X-Accept-encoding: x-i2p-gzip\r\n",
and I2PTunnelHTTPServer handles x-i2p-gzip in either the Accept-encoding
or X-Accept-encoding headers. Eepsite operators who do not know to
check for X-Accept-encoding will simply use the identity encoding.
* Initial pass of the routerconsole revamp, starting with I2PTunnel and
being progressively rolled out to other sections at later dates.
Featuring abstracted W3C strict XHTML1.0 markup, with CSS providing
layout and styling.
* Implemented console themes. Users can create their own themes by
creating css files in: {i2pdir}/docs/themes/console/{themename}/
and activating it using the routerconsole.theme={themename} advanced
config property. Look at the example incomplete "defCon1" theme.
Note: This is very much a work in progress. Folks might want to hold-off
creating their own skins until the markup has solidified.
* Added "routerconsole.javascript.disabled=true" to disable console
client-side scripting and "routerconsole.css.disabled=true" to remove
css styling (only rolled out in the i2ptunnel interface currently)
* Fixed long standing bug with i2ptunnel client and server edit screens
where tunnel count and depth properties would fail to save. Added
backup quantity and variance configuration options.
* Added basic accessibility support (key shortcuts, linear markup, alt and
title information and form labels).
* So far only tested on IE6, Firefox 1.0.6, Opera 8 and lynx.
* Include SSU establishment failure in the peer profile as a commError,
as we do for TCP establishment failures.
* Don't throttle the initial transmission of a message because of ongoing
retransmissions to a peer, since the initial transmission of a message
is more valuable than a retransmission (since it has less latency).
* Cleaned up links to SusiDNS and I2PTunnel (thanks zzz!)
* Include the most recent ACKs with packets, rather than only sending an
ack exactly once. SSU differs from TCP in this regard, as TCP has ever
increasing sequence numbers, while each message ID in SSU is random, so
we don't get the benefit of later ACKs implicitly ACKing earlier
messages.
* Reduced the max retransmission timeout for SSU
* Don't try to send messages queued up for a long time waiting for
establishment.

* Reduced the max retransmission timeout for SSU

* Fix for some syndie reply scenarios (thanks identiguy and CofE!)
* Removed a potentially infinitely recursive call (oops)
(forgot to commit this file before. oops)
* Merge sucker into syndie with a rssimport.jsp page.
* Add getContentType() to EepGet.
* Make chunked transfer work (better) with EepGet.
* Do replaceAll("<","<") for logs.
* Improved the bandwidth throtting on tunnel participation, especially for
low bandwidth peers.
* Improved failure handling in SSU with proactive reestablishment of
failing idle peers, and rather than shitlisting a peer who failed too
much, drop the SSU session and allow a new attempt (which, if it fails,
will cause a shitlisting)
* Clarify the cause of the shitlist on the profiles page, and include
bandwidth limiter info at the bottom of the peers page.

* In Syndie, propogate the subject and tags in a reply, and show the parent
post on the edit page for easy quoting. (thanks identiguy and CofE!)
* Streamline some netDb query handling to run outside the jobqueue -
which means they'll run on the particular SSU thread that handles the
message. This should help out heavily loaded netDb peers.
