The network has been having a bit of rough weather with the 0.6.1.10
|
||
|
|
release, due in part to the backwards incompatibility, but also due
|
||
|
|
to unexpected bugs. Neither reliability nor uptime on 0.6.1.10
|
||
|
|
was sufficient, so over the last 5 days there was been a flurry of
|
||
|
|
patches, culminating in the new 0.6.1.11 release -
|
||
|
|
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-February/001263.html">http://dev.i2p.net/pipermail/i2p/2006-February/001263.html</a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Most of the bugs found in 0.6.1.10 have been present since the 0.6
|
||
|
|
release last September, but weren't readily apparent while there
|
||
|
|
were alternate transports to fall back on (TCP). My local test
|
||
|
|
network simulates packet failure, but didn't really cover router
|
||
|
|
churn and other persistent network failures. The _PRE test network
|
||
|
|
also included a self-selected set of fairly reliable peers, too, so
|
||
|
|
there were substantial situations not fully explored prior to the
|
||
|
|
full release. Thats a problem, obviously, and next time we'll make
|
||
|
|
sure to include a wider selection of scenarios.

There's a bunch of things going on at the moment, but the new
|
||
|
|
0.6.1.11 release jumped to the head of the queue. The network will
|
||
|
|
continue to be a bit bumpy until a large number of people are up to
|
||
|
|
date, after which work will continue moving forward. One thing
|
||
|
|
worth mentioning is that cervantes is working through some sort of
|
||
|
|
IE-related security domain exploit, and while I'm not sure if he is
|
||
|
|
ready to explain the details, preliminary results suggest its
|
||
|
|
viable, so the anonymity-minded out there should avoid IE in the
|
||
|
|
meantime (but you knew that anyway ;). Perhaps cervantes can give
|
||
|
|
us a summary in the meeting?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Anyway, thats all I've got to mention at the moment - swing on by
|
||
|
|
the meeting in a few minutes to say hey!
