* 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)
* 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 a standalone runner for the I2PSnark web ui (build with the
command "ant i2psnark", unzip i2psnark-standalone.zip somewhere, run
with "java -jar launch-i2psnark.jar", and go to http://localhost:8002/).
* Further I2PSnark error handling
* 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
* Moved I2PSnark from using Threads to I2PThreads, so we handle OOMs
properly (thanks Complication!)
* More guards in I2PSnark for zany behavior (I2PSession recon w/ skew,
b0rking in the DirMonitor, etc)
* Added multitorrent support to I2PSnark, accessible currently by running
"i2psnark.jar --config i2psnark.config" (which may or may not exist).
It then joins the swarm for any torrents in ./i2psnark/*.torrent, saving
their data in that directory as well. Removing the .torrent file stops
participation, and it is currently set to seed indefinitely. Completion
is logged to the logger and standard output, with further UI interaction
left to the (work in progress) web UI.
* 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.
* Fixed I2PSnark's handling of some torrent files to deal with those
created by Azureus and I2PRufus (it didn't know how to deal with
additional meta info, such as path.utf-8 or name.utf-8).
* 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
* Added an RDF and XML thread export to Syndie, reachable at
.../threadnav/rdf or .../threadnav/xml, accepting the parameters
count=$numThreads and offset=$threadIndex. If the $numThreads is -1, it
displays all threads.
* Bugfix in Syndie for a problem in the threaded indexer (thanks CofE!)
* Always include ourselves in the favorite authors (since we don't
bookmark ourselves)
* Added support for a 'most recent posts' view that CofE requested, which
includes the ability to filter by age (e.g. posts by your favorite
authors in the last 5 days).
* Adjusted Syndie to use the threaded view that cervantes suggested, which
displays a a single thread path at a time - from root to leaf - rather
than a depth first traversal.
* Package up a standalone Syndie install into a "syndie-standalone.zip",
buildable with "ant syndie". It extracts into ./syndie/, launches with
"java -jar launchsyndie.jar" (or javaw, on windows, to avoid a dos box),
running a single user Syndie instance (by default). It also creates a
default subscription to syndiemedia without any anonymity (using no
proxy). Upgrades can be done by just replacing the syndie.war with the
one from I2P.
