* Allow a single build attempt to proceed despite 1-minute overload
only if the 1-second rate shows enough spare bandwidth
(e.g. overload has already eased)
* Correct a misnamed property in SummaryHelper.java
to avoid confusion
* Make the maximum allowance of our own concurrent
tunnel builds slightly adaptive: one concurrent build per 6 KB/s
within the fixed range 2..10
* While overloaded, try to avoid completely choking our own build attempts,
instead prefer limiting them to 1
* Adjust the tunnel build timeouts to cut down on expirations, and
increased the SSU connection establishment retransmission rate to
something less glacial.
* For the first 5 minutes of uptime, be less aggressive with tunnel
exploration, opting for more reliable peers to start with.
* Adjust how we pick high capacity peers to allow the inclusion of fast
peers (the previous filter assumed an old usage pattern)
* New set of stats to help track per-packet-type bandwidth usage better
* Cut out the proactive tail drop from the SSU transport, for now
* Reduce the frequency of tunnel build attempts while we're saturated
* Don't drop tunnel requests as easily - prefer to explicitly reject them
* Adjust the proactive tunnel request dropping so we will reject what we
can instead of dropping so much (but still dropping if we get too far
overloaded)
* Throttling improvements on SSU - throttle all transmissions to a peer
when we are retransmitting, not just retransmissions. Also, if
we're already retransmitting to a peer, probabalistically tail drop new
messages targetting that peer, based on the estimated wait time before
transmission.
* Fixed the rounding error in the inbound tunnel drop probability.
* Include a combined send/receive graph (good idea cervantes!)
* Proactively drop inbound tunnel requests probabalistically as the
estimated queue time approaches our limit, rather than letting them all
through up to that limit.
* Process inbound tunnel requests more efficiently
* Proactively drop inbound tunnel requests if the queue before we'd
process it in is too long (dynamically adjusted by cpu load)
* Adjust the tunnel rejection throttle to reject requeusts when we have to
proactively drop too many requests.
* Display the number of pending inbound tunnel join requests on the router
console (as the "handle backlog")
* Include a few more stats in the default set of graphs
* Cut down on the time that we allow a tunnel creation request to sit by
without response, and reject tunnel creation requests that are lagged
locally. Also switch to a bounded FIFO instead of a LIFO
* Threading tweaks for the message handling (thanks bar!)
* Don't add addresses to syndie with blank names (thanks Complication!)
* Further ban clearance
* Fix during the ssu handshake to avoid an unnecessary failure on
packet retransmission (thanks ripple!)
* Fix during the SSU handshake to use the negotiated session key asap,
rather than using the intro key for more than we should (thanks ripple!)
* Fixes to the message reply registry (thanks Complication!)
* More comprehensive syndie banning (for repeated pushes)
* Publish the router's ballpark bandwidth limit (w/in a power of 2), for
testing purposes
* Put a floor back on the capacity threshold, so too many failing peers
won't cause us to pick very bad peers (unless we have very few good
ones)
* Bugfix to cut down on peers using introducers unneessarily (thanks
Complication!)
* Reduced the default streaming lib message size to fit into a single
tunnel message, rather than require 5 tunnel messages to be transferred
without loss before recomposition. This reduces throughput, but should
increase reliability, at least for the time being.
* Misc small bugfixes in the router (thanks all!)
* More tweaking for Syndie's CSS (thanks Doubtful Salmon!)
* Take out the router watchdog's teeth (don't restart on leaseset failure)
* Filter the IRC ping/pong messages, as some clients send unsafe
information in them (thanks aardvax and dust!)
* Substantially reduced the lock contention in the message registry (a
major hotspot that can choke most threads). Also reworked the locking
so we don't need per-message timer events
* No need to have additional per-peer message clearing, as they are
either unregistered individually or expired.
* Include some of the more transient tunnel throttling
* Added a simple purge and ban of syndie authors, shown as the
"Purge and ban" button on the addressbook for authors that are already
on the ignore list. All of their entries and metadata are deleted from
the archive, and the are transparently filtered from any remote
syndication (so no user on the syndie instance will pull any new posts
from them)
* More strict tunnel join throtting when congested
* Try to desync tunnel building near startup (thanks Complication!)
* If we are highly congested, fall back on only querying the floodfill
netDb peers, and only storing to those peers too
* Cleaned up the floodfill-only queries
* Avoid a very strange (unconfirmed) bug that people using the systray's
browser picker dialog could cause by disabling the GUI-based browser
picker.
* Cut down on subsequent streaming lib reset packets transmitted
* Use a larger MTU more often
* Allow netDb searches to query shitlisted peers, as the queries are
indirect.
* Add an option to disable non-floodfill netDb searches (non-floodfill
searches are used by default, but can be disabled by adding
netDb.floodfillOnly=true to the advanced config)
* Made the netDb search load limitations a little less stringent
* Add support for specifying the number of periods to be plotted on the
graphs - e.g. to plot only the last hour of a stat that is averaged at
the 60 second period, add &periodCount=60
* Add support for graphing the event count as well as the average stat
value (done by adding &showEvents=true to the URL). Also supports
hiding the legend (&hideLegend=true), the grid (&hideGrid=true), and
the title (&hideTitle=true).
* Removed an unnecessary arbitrary filter on the profile organizer so we
can pick high capacity and fast peers more appropriately
* 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!)
* Further stat cleanup
* Keep track of how many peers we are actively trying to communicate with,
beyond those who are just trying to communicate with us.
* Further router tunnel participation throttle revisions to avoid spurious
rejections
* Rate stat display cleanup (thanks ripple!)
* Don't even try to send messages that have been queued too long
* HTML fixes in Syndie to work better with opera (thanks shaklen!)
* Give netDb lookups to floodfill peers more time, as they are much more
likely to succeed (thereby cutting down on the unnecessary netDb
searches outside the floodfill set)
* Fix to the SSU IP detection code so we won't use introducers when we
don't need them (thanks Complication!)
* Add a brief shitlist to i2psnark so it doesn't keep on trying to reach
peers given to it
* Don't let netDb searches wander across too many peers
* Don't use the 1s bandwidth usage in the tunnel participation throttle,
as its too volatile to have much meaning.
* Don't bork if a Syndie post is missing an entry.sml
* More aggressive tunnel throttling as we approach our bandwidth limit,
and throttle based off periods wider than 1 second.
* Included Doubtful Salmon's syndie stylings (thanks!)

* Adjust the jbigi.jar to use the athlon-optimized jbigi on windows/amd64
machines, rather than the generic jbigi (until we have an athlon64
optimized version)
