|
* 1) 0.6.1.4 and net status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last saturday's 0.6.1.4 release seems to have gone fairly smoothly -
|
||
|
|
75% of the network has upgraded already (thanks!), and most of the
|
||
|
|
remaining are on 0.6.1.3 anyway. Things seems to be working
|
||
|
|
reasonably well, and while I haven't heard much feedback about it -
|
||
|
|
either positive or negative, I'm assuming y'all would complain
|
||
|
|
loudly if it were bad :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In particular, I'd be interested in hearing any feedback from people
|
||
|
|
on dialup modem connections, as the testing I've done is only a
|
||
|
|
basic simulation of that sort of connection.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 2) bootstraps, predecessors, global passive adversaries, and CBR
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's been lots more discussion on the list regarding a few ideas,
|
||
|
|
with a summary of the bootstrap attacks up online [1]. I've made
|
||
|
|
some progress specing out the crypto for option 3, and while nothing
|
||
|
|
has been posted yet, its fairly straightforward.
|
||
|
|
|
||

|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There have been further discussions about how to improve resistance
|
||
|
|
to powerful adversaries with constant bitrate (CBR) tunnels, and
|
||
|
|
while we have the option to explore that avenue, its currently
|
||
|
|
slated for I2P 3.0, as its proper use requires substantial
|
||
|
|
resources, and would likely have a measureable impact on who would
|
||
|
|
be willing to use I2P with such overhead as well as what groups
|
||
|
|
would or would not even be able to.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 3) I2Phex 0.1.1.34
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Last saturday we also had a new I2Phex release [2], fixing a file
|
||
|
|
descriptor leak which would eventually cause I2Phex to fail (thanks
|
||
|
|
Complication!) and removing some code which would allow people to
|
||
|
|
remotely tell your I2Phex instance to download some particular
|
||
|
|
files (thanks GregorK!). Upgrading is highly recommended.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's also been an update to the CVS version (not yet released)
|
||
|
|
which clears up some synchronization issues - Phex assumes some
|
||
|
|
network operations are processed immediately, while I2P can sometime
|
||
|
|
take a while to do things :) This manifests itself with the GUI
|
||
|
|
hanging for a while, downloads or uploads stalling, or connections
|
||
|
|
being refused (and perhaps a few other ways). It hasn't had much
|
||
|
|
testing yet, but will probably be pushed out into 0.1.1.35 this
|
||
|
|
week. I'm sure more news will be posted on the forum when there's
|
||
|
|
more news.

|
* 4) voi2p app
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Aum is churning away on his new voice (and text) over I2P app, and
|
||
|
|
while I haven't seen it yet, it sounds neat. Perhaps Aum can give
|
||
|
|
us an update in the meeting, or we can just wait patiently for the
|
||
|
|
first alpha release :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 5) syndie and sucker
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
dust has been working away on syndie and sucker, and the latest CVS
|
||
|
|
build of I2P now lets you automatically pull in content from RSS and
|
||
|
|
atom feeds and post them to your syndie blog. At the moment, you've
|
||
|
|
got to explicitly add lib/rome-0.7.jar and lib/jdom.jar to your
|
||
|
|
wrapper.config (wrapper.java.classpath.20 and 21), but we'll bundle
|
||
|
|
it up so that isn't necessary later. Its still a work in progress,
|
||
|
|
and rome 0.8 (not yet released) seems to offer some really cool
|
||
|
|
stuff, such as the ability to snag the enclosures off a feed, which
|
||
|
|
sucker will then be able to import as an attachment to a syndie
|
||
|
|
post (right now it already handles images and links too though!)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Like all rss feeds, there seem to be some discrepencies with how the
|
||
|
|
content is included, so some feeds go in smoother than others. I
|
||
|
|
think if people were to help test it out with different feeds and
|
||
|
|
let dust know of any issues that it b0rks on, that might be useful.
|
||
|
|
In any case, this stuff looks pretty exciting, nice work dust!
|
||
|
|
|

* 6) ???
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Thats about it for the moment, but if anyone has any questions or
|
||
|
|
wants to discuss some things further, swing on by the meeting at 8P
|
||
|
|
GMT (remember, daylight savings!)
