<p>
The 0.8.3 release contains several performance improvements, including reduction of threads and
memory usage, and faster I2CP (client-router) communication.
</p><p>
There is also new SSL router console support,
a new reseed configuration page including HTTP proxy support for those behind restrictive firewalls,
a new I2CP configuration section including I2CP-over-SSL support for remote clients,
a new server connection limits and blacklist configuration section for enhanced DoS protection,
and a new
HTTP proxy jump server configuration section so you may easily add alternative jump servers.
Statistics are now limited by default to reduce memory usage; the full set of statistics may be re-enabled on the
stats configuration page.
There are also bug fixes, of course, so
as usual, upgrading is recommended.
</p><p>
Please help grow the network.

<p>I2P release 0.8.7 contains several upgrades to long-neglected components,
including the Naming Services, graphing, the native CPU ID and BigInteger
libraries, crypto implementations, and the wrapper.</p>
<p>Thanks to new contributor KillYourTV who was instrumental in implementing
and testing these upgrades, with additional support from sponge and hottuna.</p>
<p>CPU ID enhancements are by hottuna, generously funded by
<a href="http://relakks.com/">http://relakks.com/</a> and <a href="http://ipredator.se/">http://ipredator.se/</a> -
thanks to Peter Sunde and Jan-Erik Fiske for their support.</p>
<p>Also, for the first time, we now have an official
<a href="https://launchpad.net/~i2p-maintainers/+archive/i2p">I2P Personal Package Archive (PPA) on launchpad.net</a>.
For those of you using Ubuntu, this offers an easy way to install I2P and keep the
various components up-to-date. The I2P package offers the option of installing as
a service, or it may be started on-demand as usual. This PPA is currently maintained
by KillYourTV with support by other members of the development team.
The <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/debian">Ubuntu/Debian installation instructions</a> are on our website.
</p>
<p>For those updating over the network, this update is about 4 times the usual size,
due to the inclusion of the jbigi updates. Please be patient while downloading the update over the network.

<p><strong>Big changes (upgrades and new installs)</strong></p>
<p>* NamingService upgrades to support new features, including a hosts.txt database that will be enabled in release 0.8.8
<br />* New form in the HTTP proxy to save new hosts with address helpers to hosts.txt
<br />* Speedups for SHA-256 and SHA-1 hash computation, most noticeable on GNU JVMs.
<br />* Upgrade to JRobin 1.5.9 for better-looking performance graphs
<br />* Persistent graph data across restarts</p>
<p>* JCpuid / JBigI upgraded to libgmp 4.3.2 / 5.0.2 and the libraries are PIC compliant, and contain improved
support 64-bit on most architectures. JBigI is a native library which significantly speeds up cryptography operations.</p>
<p> - For those on grsec / ASLR kernels where I2P was crashing due to non-PIC libraries, I2P should now work.
<br /> - For those on x86 64-bit systems, crypto will be faster (typical result is a 25% improvement),
which you may notice in lower CPU usage
<br /> - For those on ARM or x86 OS X systems, crypto should be much faster, as we did not have jbigi
support for these systems before.
<br /> - For those on most other 32-bit Linux, FreeBSD, or Windows systems, there should be no
noticeable change in performance.</p>
<p><strong>Big changes (new installs only)</strong></p>
<p>* The Wrapper was updated to version 3.5.9 and the libraries are now PIC compliant, and support 64-bit on
most architectures. For those who did not have a working wrapper before (those on grsec / ASLR kernels, or
freebsd, ARM ,or x86 OS X) manual upgrade of your wrapper libraries is possible. Instructions at
<a href="http://www.i2p2.de/manualwrapper">http://www.i2p2.de/manualwrapper</a> . For FreeBSD users see
<a href="http://www.i2p2.de/faq#compat6x">http://www.i2p2.de/faq#compat6x</a> . Alternative: delete
existing installation and install a new. Second alternative for Ubuntu: delete existing install and
use PPA. For those who have a working wrapper now, a manual upgrade is NOT recommended.</p>
<p><strong>Packaging news:</strong></p>
<p>* Debian / Ubuntu - Major upgrade of the Debian packaging scripts to comply with packaging rules.
<br />* PPA - As described above.</p>
<p><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p>
<p>* The update includes local Jetty patches that were inadvertently omitted from the 0.8.3 and 0.8.5 install packages,
<br />* A workaround for noncompliant UPnP devices
<br />* Fix bug preventing Robert from initiating a connection to i2psnark</p>
<p><strong>Other</strong></p>
<p>* More adjustments for recent network growth, including increasing the number of floodfills and lowering the number of router infos stored locally.
<br />* Exchange version numbers across I2CP, to allow future changes to be backward-compatible
<br />* Swedish translation, thanks 123hund123, hottuna and digitalmannen
<br />* Partial Finnish, Italian, Polish, and Vietnamese translations, thanks to the Transifex translation teams
<br />* Arabic translation updates, thanks hamada
<br />* Russian translation updates, thanks hiddenz
<br />* GeoIP update (new installs only)</p>

<p>I2P release 0.8.8 enables the new hosts.txt database to speed hostname lookups
and store additional information on hostname entries.
It also includes improvements to speed a router's integration on startup.
There is new code to detect and react to large clock shifts that should help
a router recover after suspend/resume of the computer.
</p><p>
There are new translations for Danish and Ukranian and lots of updates in other languages.
Also included are, of course, a large collection of bug fixes, performance improvements,
and updates to deal with the continued rapid expansion of the network.

<p><strong>Release Details</strong></p>
<p><strong>Major changes</strong></p>
<p>* Enable new hosts.txt database for 10x faster lookups and ability to store additional information about entries. The database is created on upgrade, and populated with entries from the hosts.txt, privatehosts.txt, userhosts.txt files. Do not edit your *hosts.txt files manually after the upgrade; you must use the addressbook interface in the router console to add or delete entries.
<br />* (New installs only) Wrapper and jbigi support for ARM v5 processors. The support added in 0.8.7 only worked for ARM v7 processors. We now support both.
<br />* (New installs only) Wrapper and jbigi support for 64 bit x86 and PPC processors for OSX, and PPC for Linux. The support added in 0.8.7 only worked for 32-bit processors on OSX. We now support both.</p>
<p><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p>
<p>* Fix some Null Pointer Exceptions in the console at startup
<br />* Fix some problems with wrapper interaction at shutdown
<br />* Fix several issues with &quot;soft&quot; restart, used when the network configuration changes, or when IP changes in &quot;laptop mode&quot;
<br />* Fix problems with tunnel tests after the tunnel pool is shut down
<br />* Rename the private key file for a tunnel after deleting the tunnel, so it isn't inadvertently reused when a new tunnel is created
<br />* Fix several hosts database file bugs, and add improved corruption detection and recovery
<br />* Fix cases where thread dump wouldn't work
<br />* Speed up network integration for new routers and routers that had been stopped for a long time
<br />* Fix a bug which would leave UPnP ports open after shutdown
<br />* Fix UPnP errors when running on computers with multiple network interfaces
<br />* Fix some of the character encoding issues in susimail (still has some problems)
<br />* Change several log errors to warnings</p>
<p><strong>Other</strong></p>
<p>* Lots of improvements in the router shutdown code
<br />* Improvements in recognizing and reacting to large clock shifts (generally caused by system suspend / resume). There are still issues remaining. Large clock shifts now cause a &quot;soft&quot; restart.
<br />* Increase the number of floodfills again
<br />* Increase the number of fast peers for those with several local destinations
<br />* Increase the default news fetch time, which will extend the network upgrade period
<br />* Add the router version to the update file zip signature to prevent version spoofing
<br />* Support readonly hosts database files
<br />* Remove floodfills from the exploration search message, which will help exploration work much better.
<br />* Increase the netdb exploration speed when starting up, to help new routers integrate more quickly
<br />* Speed up the enumeration of floodfill routers
<br />* Several other performance improvements
<br />* New Danish and Ukrainian translations
<br />* Translation updates for Chinese, Italian, Polish, Russian, Spanish and Swedish</p>

<p>itoopie and I2PControl are launching!</p>
<p>I'm happy to announce that itoopie and I2PControl are available publicly.</p>
<p>itoopie is a graphical interface intended as a compliment to the I2P Router Console.
The aim of itoopie is to provide an interface that is simpler and has a lower lurning curve than the I2P Router Console.</p>
<p>I2PControl is an I2P plugin providing a JSONRPC interface for the I2P router. The interface supports setting basic settings (bandwidth, ports etc.), reading many stats and is provided over an SSL encrypted HTTP connection.</p>
<p>More information and instructions can be found at <a href="http://itoopie.net">itoopie.net</a>, <a href="http://itoopie.i2p.to">itoopie.i2p.to</a> (via proxy)and <a href="http://itoopie.i2p">itoopie.i2p</a> (anonymously).
This project has been funded by the VPN services <a href="http://relakks.com">Relakks</a> & <a href="http://ipredator.se">Ipredator</a> and was initiated by Jan-Erik Fiske and <a href="http://twitter.com/#!/brokep">Peter Sunde</a>.
<p>Thank you Jan-Erik and Peter,

<p>
The 0.8.9 release has several performance improvements, and many changes to handle
the continued rapid growth of the network. It uses a new iterative method for
Kademlia network database lookups that should be more reliable and efficient.
There are also several improvements to our SSU (UDP) transport protocol that
should help reliability and efficiency. We have made several changes to
improve tunnel build success rates. And, of course, there are lots of bug
fixes and translation updates.
</p><p>
The network has grown quite rapidly in recent weeks, and that's great news,
but it has caused some instability. We welcome all our new users and we
ask you to be patient as we make improvements to the software.
</p><p>
Please help grow the network.
<a href="http://www.i2p2.de/getinvolved.html">Get involved</a>,
spread the word,
and <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/donate.html">donate</a>!
If you find a bug, please enter a report on <a href="http://trac.i2p2.de/report/1">trac</a>.
We are still looking for help on new and existing translations.
Please volunteer on IRC #i2p-dev.
</p>
<p>Files are available on the <a href="/download.html">download page.</a></p>
<p><strong>Release Details</strong></p>
<p>* Iterative netdb lookup, this had to be fixed as the network growth was making the old method less reliable. Also increase lookup timeouts to improve success rates.
<br />* Implement a SSU disconnect message so that the other side of a connection finds out when the peer disconnects. This should considerably speed up subsequent reconnection.
<br />* Major rewrite of the SSU send queue code, for efficiency in high-speed routers
<br />* Major rewrite of the participating tunnels expiration code, for efficiency in high=speed routers
<br />* Increase the maximum SSU MTU so messages take less packets
<br />* New reverse lookup table in the hosts.txt database so that names are displayed again on the neteb leases page.
<br />* Preliminary support for IRC DCC - not enabled by default
<br />* (New installs only) Switch to the Maxmind GeoIP database which is up-to-date and has better coverage of some countries.
<br />* (New installs only) Update to wrapper 3.5.12 to fix file permission problems.</p>
<p><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p>
<p>* Fix restoration of original tunnel quantity after idle
<br />* Reduce CPU usage when network is disconnected
<br />* Fix i2psnark &quot;eject&quot; button in certain browsers
<br />* Fix changing i2psnark tunnel parameters
<br />* Fix installation issues on some non-English Windows versions
<br />* Catch some uncaught exceptions from GNU NIO
<br />* Fix connectivity issues after long suspend times</p>
<p><strong>Other</strong></p>
<p>* Improvements to the data structure caching, and increase some cache sizes, to increase hit rates. Add a country code string cache.
<br />* Continue work on removing global locks for performance improvements
<br />* Rewrite of the job queue for efficiency
<br />* Switch to https reseed by default for security; update the reseed host lists
<br />* Don't bother to gzip small http responses and images
<br />* Use bigger buffers and gunzipper cache in the http proxy
<br />* Several changes to improve tunnel build success rates
<br />* Increase the number of floodfills again
<br />* Faster router info expiration
<br />* Remove ancient deprecated ministreaming socket manager
<br />* Add option for i2psnark files readable by everyone
<br />* Add option for i2psnark page refresh time
<br />* Add streaming API for getting and setting I2CP port
<br />* More aggressive netdb exploration by hidden routers
<br />* Remove confusing &quot;firewalled and fast&quot; message
<br />* Translation updates for German, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish</p>

As you all have noticed, the unprecedented network growth starting October 5th
has dramatically increased network congestion, especially on evenings (UTC)
and weekends. The last two releases contained a few changes that we hoped
would relieve the pressure, but unfortunately these measures have been only
modest successes. The primary issue is to limit the number of direct router
to-router connections in the network. This isn't a new problem; we've been
working on it for several years, with good results. However, the recent
growth pushed us over the edge once again.
</p><p>
Release 0.8.11 includes several more changes to reduce the number of router-to-router
connections and increase connection and tunnel build capacity. The goal, of course,
is to improve tunnel build success rates and general reliability. As always, there's
a few bug fixes and translation updates.
</p><p>
We welcome all our new users. Please be patient as we work to improve network
performance. Debugging congestion problems in a distributed anonymous network
is a continuing challenge. Please help improve the network
by restarting your router once the upgrade is downloaded.
</p>
<p>Files are available on the <a href="/download.html">download page.</a></p>
<p><strong>Release Details</strong></p>
<p><strong>Major changes</strong></p>
<p>- Improve peer profile capacity metric to include factors for connection, reachability, country, and router hash, to reduce connection churn
<br />- Adjust connection limits and timeouts to increase capacity
<br />- Adjust router info and peer profile expirations to reduce memory usage
<br />- Rebuild existing tunnels some of the time to reduce connection churn and improve build success
<br />- Build Executor / Handler thread separation to increase build handling capacity for high-speed routers
<br />- Bloom Filter optimizations to reduce lock contention for high-speed routers
<br />- SSU introducer changes</p>
<p><strong>Bug Fixes</strong></p>
<p>- Fix expiration of peer profiles</p>
<p><strong>Other</strong></p>
<p>- Ukrainian translation updates</p>
