* Default Syndie to single user mode, and automatically log into a default
user account (additional accounts can be logged into with the 'switch'
or login pages, and new accounts can be created with the register page).
* Disable the 'automated' column on the Syndie addressbook unless the user
is appropriately authorized (good idea Polecat!)
* 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.
* 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.
* Defer netDb searches for newly referenced peers until we actually want
them
* Ignore netDb references to peers on our shitlist
* Set the timeout for end to end client messages to the max delay after
finding the leaseSet, so we don't have as many expired messages floating
around.
* Add a floor to the streaming lib window size
* When we need to send a streaming lib ACK, try to retransmit one of the
unacked packets instead (with updated ACK/NACK fields, of course). The
bandwidth cost of an unnecessary retransmission should be minor as
compared to both an ACK packet (rounded up to 1KB in the tunnels) and
the probability of a necessary retransmission.
* Adjust the streaming lib cwin algorithm to allow growth after a full
cwin messages if the rtt is trending downwards. If it is not, use the
existing algorithm.
* Increased the maximum rto size in the streaming lib.
* Load balancing bugfix on end to end messages to distribute across
tunnels more evenly.
* Integrated GNU-Crypto's Fortuna PRNG, seeding it off /dev/urandom and
./prngseed.rnd (if they exist), and reseeding it with data out of
various crypto operations (unused bits in a DH exchange, intermediary
bits in a DSA signature generation, extra bits in an ElGamal decrypt).
The Fortuna implementation under gnu.crypto.prng has been modified to
use BouncyCastle's SHA256 and Cryptix's AES (since those are the ones
I2P uses), and the resulting gnu.crypto.prng.* are therefor available
under GPL+Classpath's linking exception (~= LGPL). I2P's SecureRandom
wrapper around it is, of course, public domain.
* Fix bug in ircclient that prevented it to use its own dest (i.e. was
always shared. (thx for info Ragnarok)
* Fix crash in Sucker with some bad html.
* Workaround a bug in GCJ's Calendar implementation
* Propery throw an exception in the streaming lib if we try to write to a
closed stream. This will hopefully help clear some I2Phex bugs (thanks
GregorK!)
* Ported the snark bittorrent client to I2P such that it is compatible
with i2p-bt and azneti2p. For usage information, grab an update and run
"java -jar lib/i2psnark.jar". It isn't currently multitorrent capable,
but adding in support would be fairly easy (see PeerAcceptor.java:49)
* Don't allow leaseSets expiring too far in the future (thanks postman)
* Bugfix for the auto-update code to handle different usage patterns
* Decreased the addressbook recheck frequency to once every 12 hours
instead of hourly.
* Handle dynamically changing the HMAC size (again, unless your nym is
toad or jrandom, ignore this ;)
* Cleaned up some synchronization/locking code
* Allow an env prop to configure whether we want to use the backwards
compatible (but not standards compliant) HMAC-MD5, or whether we want
to use the not-backwards compatible (but standards compliant) one. No
one should touch this setting, unless your name is toad or jrandom ;)
* Added some new dummy facades
* Be more aggressive on loading up the router.config before building the
router context
* Added new hooks for apps to deal with previously undefined I2NP message
types without having to modify any code.
* Demo code for using a castrated router for SSU comm (SSUDemo.java)
* Bundled dust's Sucker for pulling RSS/Atom content into SML, which can
then be injected into Syndie with the Syndie CLI.
* Bundled ROME and JDOM (BSD and Apache licensed, respectively) for
RSS/Atom parsing.

* SSU retransmission choke bugfix (== != !=)
* Include initial transmissions in the retransmission choke, so that
if we are already retransmitting a message, we won't send anything
to that peer other than that message (or ACKs, if necessary)
* SSU retransmission choke bugfix (== != !=)
* Include initial transmissions in the retransmission choke, so that
if we are already retransmitting a message, we won't send anything
to that peer other than that message (or ACKs, if necessary)
* Choke SSU retransmissions to a peer while there is already a
retransmission in flight to them. This currently lets other initial
transmissions through, since packet loss is often sporadic, but maybe
this should block initial transmissions as well?
* Display the retransmission bytes stat on peers.jsp (thanks bar!)
* Filter QUIT messages in the I2PTunnelIRCClient proxy
* Piggyback the SSU partial ACKs with data packets. This is backwards
compatible.
* Syndie RSS renderer bugfix, plus now include the full entry instead of
just the blurb before the cut.
* Piggyback the SSU explicit ACKs with data packets (partial ACKs aren't
yet piggybacked). This is backwards compatible.
* SML parser cleanup in Syndie
* Implemented a new I2PTunnelIRCClient which locally filters inbound and
outbound IRC commands for anonymity and security purposes, removing all
CTCP messages except ACTION, as well as stripping the hostname from the
USER message (while leaving the nick and 'full name'). The IRC proxy
doesn't use this by default, but you can enable it by creating a new
"IRC proxy" tunnel on the web interface, or by changing the tunnel type
to "ircclient" in i2ptunnel.config.
2005-10-10 jrandom
* I2PTunnel http client config cleanup and stats
* Minor SSU congestion tweaks and stats
* Reduced netDb exploration period
* Now that the streaming lib works reasonably, set the default inactivity
event to send a 0 byte keepalive payload, rather than disconnecting the
stream. This should cut the irc netsplits and help out with other long
lived streams. The default timeout is now less than the old timeout as
well, so the keepalive will be sent before earlier builds fire their
fatal timeouts.
2005-10-07 jrandom
* Include the 1 second bandwidth usage on the console rather than the
1 minute rate, as the 1 second value doesn't have the 1m/5m quantization
issues.
* Allow the I2PTunnelHTTPServer to send back the first few packets of an
HTTP response quicker, and initialize the streaming lib's cwin more
carefully.
* Added a small web UI to the new Syndie scheduled updater. If you log in
as a user authorized to use the remote archive funtionality, you can
request remote archives in your address book to be automatically pulled
down by checking the "scheduled?" checkbox.
* Allow the first few packets in the stream to fill in their IDs during
handshake (thanks cervantes, Complication, et al!) This should fix at
least some of the intermittent HTTP POST issues.
* Killed three more streaming lib bugs, one of which caused excess packets
to be transmitted (dupacking dupacks), one that was the root of many of
the old hung streams (shrinking highest received), and another that was
releasing data too soon.
* Only allow autodetection of our IP address if we haven't received an
inbound connection in the last two minutes.
* Increase the default max streaming resends to 8 from 5 (and down from
the earlier 10)
* Support noreseed.i2p in addition to .i2pnoreseed for disabling automatic
reseeding - useful on OSes that make it hard to create dot files.
Thanks Complication (and anon)!
* Fixed the installer version string (thanks Frontier!)
* Added cleaner rejection of invalid IP addresses, shitlist those who send
us invalid IP addresses, verify again that we are not sending invalid IP
addresses, and log an error if it happens. (Thanks Complication, ptm,
and adab!)
2005-09-29 jrandom
* Let syndie users modify their metadata.
* Reseed the router on startup if there aren't enough peer references
known locally. This can be disabled by creating the file .i2pnoreseed
in your home directory, and the existing detection and reseed handling
on the web interface is unchanged.
