* Ensure we get NTP samples from more diverse sources
(0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp.org, etc)
* Discard median-based peer skew calculator as framed average works,
and adjusting its percentage can make it behave median-like
* Require more data points (from at least 20 peers)
before considering a peer skew measurement reliable

* Removed the status display from the console, as its more confusing
than informative (though the content is still displayed in the HTML)
* Subclass from Clock a RouterClock which can access router transports,
with the goal of developing it to second-guess NTP results
* Make transports report clock skew in seconds
* Adjust renderStatusHTML() methods accordingly
* Show average for NTCP clock skews too
* Give transports a getClockSkews() method to report clock skews
* Give transport manager a getClockSkews() method to aggregate results
* Give comm system facade a getMedianPeerClockSkew() method which RouterClock calls
(to observe results, add "net.i2p.router.transport.CommSystemFacadeImpl=WARN" to
logging)
* Extra explicitness in NTCP classes to denote unit of time.
* Fix some places in NTCPConnection where milliseconds and seconds were confused
* Tweak the PRNG logging so it only displays error messages if there are
problems
* Disable dynamic router keys for the time being, as they don't offer
meaningful security, may hurt the router, and makes it harder to
determine the network health. The code to restart on SSU IP change is
still enabled however.
* Disable tunnel load testing, leaning back on the tiered selection for
the time being.
* Spattering of bugfixes
* Cut down NTCP connection establishments once we know the peer is skewed
(rather than wait for full establishment before verifying)
* Removed a lock on the stats framework when accessing rates, which
shouldn't be a problem, assuming rates are created (pretty much) all at
once and merely updated during the lifetime of the jvm.
* Every time we create a new router identity, add an entry to the
new "identlog.txt" text file in the I2P install directory. For
debugging purposes, publish the count of how many identities the
router has cycled through, though not the identities itself.
* Cleaned up the way the multitransport shitlisting worked, and
added per-transport shitlists
* When dropping a router reference locally, first fire a netDb
lookup for the entry
* Take the peer selection filters into account when organizing the
profiles (thanks Complication!)
* Avoid some obvious configuration errors for the NTCP transport
(invalid ports, "null" ip, etc)
* Deal with some small NTCP bugs found in the wild (unresolveable
hosts, strange network discons, etc)
* Send our netDb info to peers we have direct NTCP connections to
after each 6-12 hours of connection uptime
* Clean up the NTCP reading and writing queue logic to avoid some
potential delays
* Allow people to specify the IP that the SSU transport binds on
locally, via the advanced config "i2np.udp.bindInterface=1.2.3.4"

* 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
* Adjust how we pick high capacity peers to allow the inclusion of fast
peers (the previous filter assumed an old usage pattern)
* New set of stats to help track per-packet-type bandwidth usage better
* Cut out the proactive tail drop from the SSU transport, for now
* Reduce the frequency of tunnel build attempts while we're saturated
* Don't drop tunnel requests as easily - prefer to explicitly reject them
* Integrate basic hooks for jrobin (http://jrobin.org) into the router
console. Selected stats can be harvested automatically and fed into
in-memory RRD databases, and those databases can be served up either as
PNG images or as RRDtool compatible XML dumps (see oldstats.jsp for
details). A base set of stats are harvested by default, but an
alternate list can be specified by setting the 'stat.summaries' list on
the advanced config. For instance:
stat.summaries=bw.recvRate.60000,bw.sendRate.60000
* HTML tweaking for the general config page (thanks void!)
* Odd NPE fix (thanks Complication!)

* Further stat cleanup
* Keep track of how many peers we are actively trying to communicate with,
beyond those who are just trying to communicate with us.
* Further router tunnel participation throttle revisions to avoid spurious
rejections
* Rate stat display cleanup (thanks ripple!)
* Don't even try to send messages that have been queued too long
2006-02-27 jrandom
* Adjust the jbigi.jar to use the athlon-optimized jbigi on windows/amd64
machines, rather than the generic jbigi (until we have an athlon64
optimized version)
* 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
* 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.
* 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.
* 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).
* 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
