* Streaming lib changes to improve upstream performance during congestion:
* Change min window size from 12 to 1
* Change max timeout from 10 to 45 sec
* Change initial timeout from 10 to 15 sec
* Change intial window size for i2psnark from 12 to 1
* Change slow start growth rate for i2psnark from 1/2 to 1
* Tell our peers about who we know in the floodfill netDb every
6 hours or so, mitigating the situation where peers lose track
of floodfill routers.
* Disable the Syndie updater (people should use the new Syndie,
not this one)
* Disable the eepsite tunnel by default
* Modify ReseedHandler to query the "i2p.reseedURL" property from I2PAppContext
instead of System, so setting a reseed URL in advanced configuration has effect.
* Clean out obsolete reseed code from ConfigNetHandler.
* i2psnark: More choking rotation tweaks
* Improve performance by not reading in the whole
piece from disk for each request. A huge memory savings
on 1MB torrents with many peers.
* i2psnark: Add 'Stop All' link on web page
* Add some links to trackers and forum on web page
* Don't start tunnel if 'Autostart' unchecked
* Fix torrent restart bug by reopening file descriptors
* i2psnark: Improvements for torrents with > 4 leechers:
choke based on upload rate when seeding, and
be smarter and fairer about rotating choked peers.
* Handle two common i2psnark OOM situations rather
than shutting down the whole thing.
* Fix reporting to tracker of remaining bytes for
torrents > 4GB (but ByteMonsoon still has a bug)
* i2psnark: Fix and enable generation of multifile torrents,
print error if no tracker selected at create-torrent,
fix stopping a torrent that hasn't started successfully,
add eBook and GayTorrents trackers to form,
web page formatting tweaks

* Removed the status display from the console, as its more confusing
than informative (though the content is still displayed in the HTML)
* i2psnark: Paranoid copy before writing pieces,
recheck files on completion, redownload bad pieces
* i2psnark: Don't contact tracker as often when seeding
* i2psnark: Implement retransmission of requests. This
eliminates one cause of complete stalls with a peer.
This problem is common on torrents with a small number of
active peers where there are no choke/unchokes to kickstart things.
* i2psnark: Mark a peer's requests as unrequested on disconnect,
preventing premature end game
* i2psnark: Randomize selection of next piece during end game
* i2psnark: Don't restore a partial piece to a peer that is already working on it
* i2psnark: strip ".torrent" on web page
* i2psnark: Limit piece size in generated torrent to 1MB max
* i2psnark: Fix bug where new peers would always be set to "interested"
regardless of actual interest
* i2psnark: Reduce max piece size from 10MB to 1MB; larger may have severe
memory and efficiency problems
* i2psnark: Implement basic partial-piece saves across connections
* i2psnark: Implement keep-alive sending. This will keep non-i2psnark clients
from dropping us for inactivity but also renders the 2-minute transmit-inactivity
code in i2psnark ineffective. Will have to research why there is transmit but
not receive inactivity code. With the current connection limit of 24 peers
we aren't in any danger of keeping out new peers by keeping inactive ones.
* i2psnark: Increase CHECK_PERIOD from 20 to 40 since nothing happens in 20 seconds
* i2psnark: Fix dropped chunk handling
* i2psnark: Web rate report cleanup
* i2psnark: Report cleared trackerErr immediately
* i2psnark: Add trackerErr reporting after previous success; retry more quickly
* i2psnark: Set up new connections more quickly
* i2psnark: Don't delay tracker fetch when setting up lots of connections
* i2psnark: Reduce MAX_UPLOADERS from 12 to 4
* Limit form size in SusiDNS to avoid exceeding a POST size limit on postback
* Print messages about addressbook size to give better overview
* Enable delete function in published addressbook

* Add a failsafe to the NTCP transport to make sure we keep
pumping writes when we should.
* Properly reallow 16-32KBps routers in the default config
(thanks Complication!)
* Improve the multitransport shitlisting (thanks Complication!)
* Allow routers with a capacity of 16-32KBps to be used in tunnels under
the default configuration (thanks for the stats Complication!)
* Properly allow older router references to load on startup
(thanks bar, Complication, et al!)
* Add a new "i2p.alwaysAllowReseed" advanced config property, though
hopefully today's changes should make this unnecessary (thanks void!)
* Improved NTCP buffering
* Close NTCP connections if we are too backlogged when writing to them
* New NIO-based tcp transport (NTCP), enabled by default for outbound
connections only. Those who configure their NAT/firewall to allow
inbound connections and specify the external host and port
(dyndns/etc is ok) on /config.jsp can receive inbound connections.
SSU is still enabled for use by default for all users as a fallback.
* Substantial bugfix to the tunnel gateway processing to transfer
messages sequentially instead of interleaved
* Renamed GNU/crypto classes to avoid name clashes with kaffe and other
GNU/Classpath based JVMs
* Adjust the Fortuna PRNG's pooling system to reduce contention on
refill with a background thread to refill the output buffer
* Add per-transport support for the shitlist
* Add a new async pumped tunnel gateway to reduce tunnel dispatcher
contention
* Ensure that the I2PTunnel web interface won't update tunnel settings
for shared clients when a non-shared client is modified
(thanks for spotting, BarkerJr!)
