Release Details

- -

This release contains several big changes that should help network reliability and performance.

- -

The first two changes are fixes for major UDP packet transmission bugs, described below. The third change - is fixes to the decompressor. Fixing these should eliminate a big source of message delivery failures.

- -

Also, the release contains a rewrite of the router's participating traffic congestion control. It should - now more accurately measure current participating bandwidth, handle bursts better, drop messages less, and - drop the right messages if dropping is required.

- -

Also, the release reduces the amount of processing that routers do for messages they pass down the tunnel. - These messages do not need to be completely parsed and validated since the gateway is simply passing them through. - This will help performance of all routers but the improvement will probably not be noticeable except on high-traffic routers.

- -

We're optimistic that these changes will help, and of course eliminating sources of message corruption is sure to help. - However the extend of the improvement won't be apparent until the majority of the network upgrades.

- -

The release also contains some updates to the router console light theme. You may need to do a shift-reload - or control-reload in your browser to force a reload of the CSS.

- -

Major changes

- -

- Instead of fully parsing and validating messages received at the inbound gateway, simply pass them down the tunnel -
- Don't verify I2NP checksums in most cases, as message corruption is caught at other layers -
- Don't recalculate I2NP checksums on messages passed through unchanged -
- Several NTCP pumper optimizations, to hopefully fix NTCP pumper high CPU usage on fast routers - -
- Rewrite participating tunnel congestion control, to drop less, more accurately measure traffic, and handle bursts better

- -

Wrapper Update

- -

New installs include wrapper version 3.5.13 which fixes a heap corruption with very long log lines. - See http://wrapper.tanukisoftware.com/doc/english/release-notes.html - for additional information. I2P PPA package users should have received this update in the last week of December. - If you do not use our PPA package and would like to update your wrapper manually, follow the instructions at - http://www.i2p2.de/manualwrapper .

Bug Fixes

Update info

- -

In-network updates and new installs will include Jetty 6, Tomcat, and JSTL. - PPA (Ubuntu/Debian) updates will have new dependencies for these packages.

- -

If you have not enabled or modified your eepsite settings, the update should automatically migrate you to Jetty 6. -If you do not use Jetty for your eepsite, the update will not affect it. -

- -

If you have more than one Jetty eepsite or you have changed the local port (7658 by default) or otherwise edited jetty.xml, - you must manually edit the new jetty configuration files after updating, and then restart.

- -

For those with Jetty-based eepsites, we recommend that you verify that the upgrade -was successful and the eepsites are operational after the router restarts. - -

Plugin information: -
Plugins not listed below should continue to work under Jetty 6. -
The following plugins require updates for Jetty 6. The router will download and install them a few minutes - after upgrading: i2pcontrol, pebble, zzzot -
The following plugins have been renamed and for Jetty 6. Users must manually remove them and download the new versions - after upgrading: neodatis, seedless -
The following plugin does not work well with Jetty 6, you may wish to remove it and install the unofficial replacement - from plugins.i2p after upgrading: i2pbote -

- -

Other non-standard console and eepsite webapps not packaged by the I2P development team may or may not - require modifications. -
