* Switch from the bouncycastle to the gnu-crypto implementation for
SHA256, as benchmarks show a 10-30% speedup.
* Removed some unnecessary object caches
* Don't close i2psnark streams prematurely
* Made the Syndie permalinks in the thread view point to the blog view
* Disabled TCP again (since the live net seems to be doing well w/out it)
* Fix the message time on inbound SSU establishment (thanks zzz!)
* Don't be so aggressive with parallel tunnel creation when a tunnel pool
just starts up
* Rounding calculation cleanup in the stats, and avoid an uncontested
mutex (thanks ripple!)
* SSU handshake cleanup to help force incompatible peers to stop nagging
us by both not giving them an updated reference to us and by dropping
future handshake packets from them.
* Fix to properly profile tunnel joins (thanks Ragnarok, frosk, et al!)
* More aggressive poor-man's PMTU, allowing larger MTUs on less reliable
links
* Further class validator refactorings
* Throttle the outbound SSU establishment queue, so it doesn't fill up the
heap when backlogged (and so that the messages queued up on it don't sit
there forever)
* Further SSU memory cleanup
* Clean up the address regeneration code so it knows when to rebuild the
local info more precisely.
* Throttle the outbound SSU establishment queue, so it doesn't fill up the
heap when backlogged (and so that the messages queued up on it don't sit
there forever)
* Further SSU memory cleanup
* Properly enable TCP this time (oops)
* Deal with multiple form handlers on the same page in the console without
being too annoying (thanks blubb and bd_!)
* Major SSU and router tuning to reduce contention, memory usage, and GC
churn. There are still issues to be worked out, but this should be a
substantial improvement.
* Modified the optional netDb harvester task to support choosing whether
to use (non-anonymous) direct connections or (anonymous) exploratory
tunnels to do the harvesting. Harvesting itself is enabled via the
advanced config "netDb.shouldHarvest=true" (default is false) and the
connection type can be chosen via "netDb.harvestDirectly=false" (default
is false).
* Moved the current net's reseed URL to a different location than where
the old net looks (dev.i2p.net/i2pdb2/ vs .../i2pdb/)
* More aggressively expire inbound messages (on receive, not just on send)
* Add in a hook for breaking backwards compatibility in the SSU wire
protocol directly by including a version as part of the handshake. The
version is currently set to 0, however, so the wire protocol from this
build is compatible with all earlier SSU implementations.
* Increased the number of complete message readers, cutting down
substantially on the delay processing inbound messages.
* Delete the message history file on startup
* Reworked the restart/shutdown display on the console (thanks bd_!)
* Migrate the outbound packets from a central component to the individual
per-peer components, substantially cutting down on lock contention when
dealing with higher degrees.
* Load balance the outbound SSU transfers evenly across peers, rather than
across messages (so peers with few messages won't be starved by peers
with many).
* Reduce the frequency of router info rebuilds (thanks bar!)
* Add a new AIMD throttle in SSU to control the number of concurrent
messages being sent to a given peer, in addition to the throttle on the
number of concurrent bytes to that peer.
* Adjust the existing SSU outbound queue to throttle based on the queue's
lag, not an arbitrary number of packets.
* Disable the message history log file by default (duh - feel free to
delete messageHistory.txt after upgrading. thanks deathfatty!)
* Limit the size of the inbound tunnel build request queue so we don't
get an insane backlog of requests that we're bound to reject, and adjust
the queue processing so we keep on churning through them when we've got
a backlog.
* Small fixes for the multiuser syndie operation (thanks Complication!)
* Renamed modified PRNG classes that were imported from gnu-crypto so we
don't conflict with JVMs using that as a JCE provider (thanks blx!)
* Bugfix to the I2PTunnel web config to properly accept i2cp port settings
* Initial sucker refactoring to simplify reuse of the html parsing
* Beginnings of hooks to push imported rss/atom out to remote syndie
archives automatically (though not enabled currently)
* Further SSU peer test cleanup
* Add in per-blog RSS feeds to Syndie
* Upgraded sucker's ROME dependency to 0.8, bundling sucked enclosures
with the posts, marking additional attachments as Media RSS enclosures
(http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/), since RSS only supports one enclosure
per item.
* Don't allow the default syndie user to be set to something invalid if
its in single user mode.
* Run the peer profile coalescing/reorganization outside the job queue
(on one of the timers), to cut down on some job queue congestion. Also,
trim old profiles while running, not just when starting up.
* Slightly more sane intra-floodfill-node netDb activity (only flood new
entries)
* Workaround in the I2PTunnelHTTPServer for some bad requests (though the
source of the bug is not yet addressed)
* Better I2PSnark reconnection handling
* Further cleanup in the new tunnel build process
* Make sure we expire old participants properly
* Remove much of the transient overload throttling (it wasn't using a good
metric)
* New tunnel build process - does not use the new crypto or new peer
selection strategies. However, it does drop the fallback tunnel
procedure, except for tunnels who are configured to allow them, or for
the exploratory pool during bootstrapping or after a catastrophic
failure. This new process prefers to fail rather than use too-short
tunnels, so while it can do some pretty aggressive tunnel rebuilding,
it may expose more tunnel failures to the user.
* Always prefer normal tunnels to fallback tunnels.
* Potential fix for a bug while changing i2cp settings on I2PSnark (thanks
bar!)
* Do all of the netDb entry writing in a separate thread, avoiding
duplicates and batching them up.
* Add title attributes to all external links in Syndie, so we can rollover
and quickly see if it's worth clicking on.
* Fixed a minor compiler warning.
* First pass of the new tunnel creation crypto, specified in the new
router/doc/tunnel-alt-creation.html (referenced in the current
router/doc/tunnel-alt.html). It isn't actually used anywhere yet, other
than in the test code, but the code verifies the technical viability, so
further scrutiny would be warranted.
* Only create the loadtest.log if requested to do so (thanks zzz!)
* Make sure we cleanly take into consideration the appropriate data
points when filtering out duplicate messages in the message validator,
and report the right bloom filter false positives rate (not used for
anything except debugging)
* Syndie CSS tweaks to removed some redundant declarations, improve font
scaling and layout robustness. Improved cross browser compatibility
(in other words "kicked IE"). Tightened the look of the blog template
a little.
* Include the attachments/blogs/etc for comments on the blog view
* Syndie HTML fixes (thanks cervantes!)
* Make sure we fully reset the objects going into our cache before we
reuse them (thanks zzz!)
* Added the per-post list of attachments/blogs/etc to the blog view in
Syndie (though this does not yet include comments or some further
refinements)
* Have the I2P shortcut launch i2p.exe instead of i2psvc.exe on windows,
removing the dox box (though also removes the restart functionality...)
* Give the i2p.exe the correct java.library.path to support the systray
dll (thanks Bobcat, Sugadude, anon!)
* Removed a longstanding bug that had caused unnecessary router identity
churn due to clock skew
* Temporarily sanity check within the streaming lib for long pending
writes
* Added support for a blog-wide logo to Syndie, and automated the pushing
of updated extended blog info data along side the metadata.
* Rather than profile individual tunnels for throughput over their
lifetime, do so at 1 minute intervals (allowing less frequently active
tunnels to be more fairly measured).
* Run the live tunnel load test across two tunnels at a time, by default.
The load test runs for a random period from 90s to the tunnel lifetime,
self paced. This should help gathering data for profiling peers that
are in exploratory tunnels.

* Calculate the overall peer throughput across the 3 fastest one minute
tunnel throughput values, rather than the single fastest throughput.
* Degrade the profiled throughput data over time (cutting the profiled
peaks in half once a day, on average)
* Enable yet another new speed calculation for profiling peers, using the
peak throughput from individual tunnels that a peer is participating in,
rather than across all tunnels they are participating in. This helps
gather a fairer peer throughput measurement, since it won't allow a slow
high capacity peer seem to have a higher throughput (pushing a little
data across many tunnels at once, as opposed to lots of data across a
single tunnel). This degrades over time like the other.
* Add basic OS/2 support to the jbigi code (though we do not bundle a
precompiled OS/2 library)
* Disable multifile torrent creation in I2PSnark's web UI for the moment
(though it can still seed and participate in multifile swarms)
* Enable a new speed calculation for profiling peers, using their peak
1 minute average tunnel throughput as their speed.
* Include a simple torrent creator in the I2PSnark web UI
* Further streaming lib closing improvements
* Refactored the load test components to run off live tunnels (though,
still not safe for normal/anonymous load testing)
* Replaced the bundled linux jcpuid (written in C++) with scintilla's
jcpuid (written in C), removing the libg++.so.5 dependency that has bit
some distros (e.g. mandriva)
