* 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!)

* 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.

* I2PTunnel bugfix (thanks Complication!)
* Increase the SSU cwin slower during congestion avoidance (at k/cwin^2
instead of k/cwin)
* Limit the number of inbound SSU sessions being built at once (using
half of the i2np.udp.maxConcurrentEstablish config prop)
* Don't shitlist on a message send failure alone (unless there aren't any
common transports).
* More careful bandwidth bursting
* 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
* Allow reseeding on the console if the netDb knows less than 30 peers,
rather than less than 10 (without internet connectivity, we keep the
last 15 router references)
* Reenable the x-i2p-gzip HTTP processing by default, flushing the stream
more aggressively.
* Show the status that used to be called "ERR-Reject" as "OK (NAT)"
* Reduced the default maximum number of streaming lib resends of a packet
(10 retransmits is a bit much with a reasonable RTO)
* Better i2paddresshelper handling in the I2PTunnel httpclient, plus a new
conflict resolution page if the i2paddresshelper parameter differs from
an existing name to destination mapping.

* Fix a long standing streaming lib bug (in the inactivity detection code)
* Improved handling of initial streaming lib packet retransmissions to
kill the "lost first packet" bug (where a page shows up with the first
few KB missing)
* Add support for initial window sizes greater than 1 - useful for
eepsites to transmit e.g. 4 packets full of data along with the initial
ACK, thereby cutting down on the rtt latency. The congestion window
size can and does still shrink down to 1 packet though.
* Adjusted the streaming lib retransmission calculation algorithm to be
more TCP-like.
* Bugfix in susidns for deleting entries
2005-09-21 jrandom
* Add support for HTTP POST to EepGet
* Use HTTP POST for syndie bulk fetches, since there's a lot of data to
put in that URL.
* Added support for pure 64bit linux with jbigi and the java service
wrapper (no need for jcpuid if we're on os.arch=amd64). Thanks mule
et al for help testing!
* UI cleanup in Syndie (thanks gloin and bar!)
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
* Adjust I2PTunnelHTTPServer so it can be used for outproxy operators
(just specify the spoofed host as an empty string), allowing them to
honor x-i2p-gzip encoding.
* Let windows users build the exes too (thanks bar and redzara!)
* Allow I2PTunnel httpserver operators to disable gzip compression on
individual tunnels with the i2ptunnel.gzip=false client option
(good idea susi!)
* Added the i2p.exe and i2pinstall.exe for windows users, using launch4j.
* Added runplain.sh for *nix/osx users having problems using the java
service wrapper (called from the install dir as: sh runplain.sh)
* Bundle susidns and syndie, with links on the top nav
* Have I2PTunnelHTTPClient and I2PTunnelHTTPServer use the x-i2p-gzip
content-encoding (if offered), reducing the payload size before it
reaches the streaming lib. The existing compression is at the i2cp
level, so we've been packetizing 4KB of uncompressed data and then
compressing those messages, rather than compressing and then packetizing
4KB of compressed data. This should reduce the number of round trips
to fetch web pages substantially.
* Adjust the startup and timing of the addressbook so that susidns always
has config to work off, and expose a method for susidns to tell it to
reload its config and rerun.
* More careful error handling with introductions (thanks dust!)
* Fix the forceIntroducers checkbox on config.jsp (thanks Complication!)
* Hide the shitlist on the summary so it doesn't confuse new users.
* Removed guaranteed delivery mode entirely (so existing i2phex clients
using it can get the benefits of mode=best_effort). Guaranteed delivery
is offered at the streaming lib level.
* Improve the peer selection code for peer testing, as everyone now
supports tests.
* Give the watchdog its fangs - if it detects obscene job lag or if
clients have been unable to get a leaseSet for more than 5 minutes,
restart the router. This was disabled a year ago due to spurious
restarts, and can be disabled by "watchdog.haltOnHang=false", but the
cause of the spurious restarts should be gone.
* 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.
* Test the router's reachability earlier and more aggressively
* Use the low level bandwidth limiter's rates for the router console, and
if the router has net.i2p.router.transport.FIFOBandwidthLimiter=INFO in
the logger config, keep track of the 1 second transfer rates as the stat
'bw.sendBps1s' and 'bw.recvBps1s', allowing closer monitoring of burst
behavior.
* Added preliminary support for NAT hole punching through SSU introducers
* Honor peer test results from peers that we have an SSU session with if
those sessions are idle for 3 minutes or more.
* HTML cleanup for the router console (thanks!)

* 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).
* Don't persist peer profiles until we are shutting down, as the
persistence process gobbles RAM and wall time.
* Bugfix to allow you to check/uncheck the sharedClient setting on the
I2PTunnel web interface.
* Be more careful when expiring a failed tunnel message fragment so we
don't drop the data while attempting to read it.
* Don't publish leaseSets to the netDb if they will never be looked for -
namely, if they are for destinations that only establish outbound
streams. I2PTunnel's 'client' and 'httpclient' proxies have been
modified to tell the router that it doesn't need to publish their
leaseSet (by setting the I2CP config option 'i2cp.dontPublishLeaseSet'
to 'true').
* Don't publish the top 10 peer rankings of each router in the netdb, as
it isn't being watched right now.

it isn't being watched right now.
* Minor logging and optimization tweaks in the router and SDK
* Use ISO-8859-1 in the XML files (thanks redzara!)
* The consolePassword config property can now be used to bypass the router
console's nonce checking, allowing CLI restarts

* The consolePassword config property can now be used to bypass the router

* Catch errors with corrupt tunnel messages more gracefully (no need to
kill the thread and cause an OOM...)
* Don't skip shitlisted peers for netDb store messages, as they aren't
necessarily shitlisted by other people (though they probably are).
* Adjust the netDb store per-peer timeout based on each particular peer's
profile (timeout = 4x their average netDb store response time)
* Don't republish leaseSets to *failed* peers - send them to peers who
replied but just didn't know the value.
* Set a 5 second timeout on the I2PTunnelHTTPServer reading the client's
HTTP headers, rather than blocking indefinitely. HTTP headers should be
sent entirely within the first streaming packet anyway, so this won't be
a problem.
* Don't use the I2PTunnel*Server handler thread pool by default, as it may
prevent any clients from accessing the server if the handlers get
blocked by the streaming lib or other issues.
* Don't overwrite a known status (OK/ERR-Reject/ERR-SymmetricNAT) with
Unknown.
* Removed the concept of "no bandwidth limit" - if none is specified, its
16KBps in/out.
* Include ack packets in the per-peer cwin throttle (they were part of the
bandwidth limit though).
* Tweak the SSU cwin operation to get more accurrate estimates under
congestions.
* SSU improvements to resend more efficiently.
* Added a basic scheduler to eepget to fetch multiple files sequentially.
