Hi y'all, tuesday keeps coming back...

||
|
|
|

|
||
|

2) New build process

3) ???
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
* 1) Net status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The past week hasn't brought many changes to the network, with most
|
||
|
|
users (77%) up on the latest release. Still, there are some hefty
|
||
|
|
changes coming down the path, related to the new tunnel building
|
||
|
|
process, and these changes will cause some bumps for those helping
|
||
|
|
to test the unrelease builds. On the whole, however, those using
|
||
|
|
the releases should continue to have a fairly reliable level of
|
||
|
|
service.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 2) New build process
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As part of the tunnel revamp for 0.6.2, we're changing the procedure
|
||
|
|
used within the router to better adapt to changing conditions, and
|
||
|
|
to more cleanly deal with load. This is a precursor to integrating
|
||
|
|
the new peer selection strategies and the new tunnel creation
|
||
|
|
crypto, and is fully backwards compatible. However, along the way
|
||
|
|
we're cleaning up some of the quirks in the tunnel build process,
|
||
|
|
and while some of these quirks have helped glaze over some
|
||
|
|
reliability issues, they may have made a less-than-optimal anonymity
|
||
|
|
vs. reliability tradeoff. Specifically, they'd use fallback 1 hop
|
||
|
|
tunnels under catastrophic failures - the new process will instead
|
||
|
|
prefer unreachability rather than using fallback tunnels, which
|
||
|
|
means that people will see more reliability problems. At least,
|
||
|
|
they'll be visible until the source of the tunnel reliability issue
|
||
|
|
is addressed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway, at the moment the build process does not afford acceptable
|
||
|
|
reliability, but once it does we'll push it out to y'all in a
|
||
|
|
release.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 3) ???
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I know a few others are working on different related activities, but
|
||
|
|
I'll leave it up to them to give us the news when they feel its
|
||
|
|
appropriate. In any case, see y'all at the meeting in a few
|
||
|
|
minutes!
