Shortly after the release of I2P version 0.7.7, we are happy to announce the first stage of the Chinese translation of the website, thanks to our new Chinese translator, "walking". This we hope is the start of a bigger trend to get the website and console translated into YOUR language. Please visit the #i2p chat channel on Freenode IRC or anonymously over I2P via localhost:6668 if you wish to help. We appeal at this time especially to French and Spanish translators, since we seem to have plenty of you running I2P!
I2P version 0.7.7 contains several anonymity improvements. The use of session keys for crypto was completely reworked, and I2PSnark now uses its own tunnels for tracker communication. Work continues on improving the router console, including conformance to HTML standards, better support of UTF-8, and dr|z3d's ongoing console theme wizardry, including an extensively reworked "classic" theme optimized for less capable computers or browsers.
Work also continues on increasing speeds, both by reducing the number of session keys transferred, by improving the methods of dropping messages during overload, and by reducing drops by high-bandwidth routers. There is a new unsigned update option for those of you that would like automatic updates to bleeding-edge development versions.
The release also contains several changes to reduce memory and CPU usage, and a large assortment of bug fixes. Upgrading is recommended. Please give the developers feedback on IRC #i2p or forum.i2p and get involved!
