<p>
|
|
Release 0.7.8 contains initial support for router console translations, and
|
|
changes to the floodfill system which lay the foundation for supporting large growth in the network.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
To prevent easy blocking of I2P by malicious firewalls, the release randomizes the I2P port for new installs.
|
|
For existing installs, please help those who are vulnerable to blocking by changing UDP from 8887 to a random port on
|
|
and adjusting your firewall if necessary.
|
|
</p><p>
|
|
The release also contains more changes to reduce memory and CPU usage,
|
|
and a large assortment of bug fixes.
|
|
Upgrading is recommended.
|
|
We especially encourage those of you still running release 0.7.6 or earlier to upgrade as soon as possible.
|
|
Please give the
|
|
developers feedback on IRC #i2p or <a href="http://forum.i2p2.de/">forum.i2p2.de</a>
|
|
and <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/getinvolved.html">get involved</a>
|
|
or <a href="http://www.i2p2.de/donate.html">donate</a>!
|

Release details:
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Network Database</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- Partially reintroduce Kademlia to the network database, by having each floodfill store only a portion of the keyspace. Routers will query and store to a floodfill that is closest to the key in question. Floodfills will only flood to peers closest to the key.
|
|
<br />- The limit on number of floodfills will not be raised in this release. Therefore, there will be no immediate change; all floodfills will store the entire keyspace. In future releases, the limit will be raised until most class O routers will be floodfill. After that, each floodfill be responsible for about 300 netdb entries, independent of network size, thus allowing i2p to scale to many thousands of routers.
|
|
<br />- The release also fixes a bad bug that was preventing verification of RouterInfo stores.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Router Console Translation Support</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- The router console now supports translation to other languages using standard "po" files. Initial string tagging by "walking".
|
|
|
|
<br />- The HTTP proxy now supports translated error pages.
|
|
<br />- Chinese translation (by "walking") is included.
|
|
<br />- French translation (by "neutron") is included.
|
|
<br />- German translation (by "echelon") is included.
|
|
<br />- Translation of bundled applications (i2psnark, i2ptunnel, susimail, susidns) is not yet supported, it will be included in a future release.
|
|
<br />- We are searching for additional translation volunteers.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Streaming Lib</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- Improve the handling of immediate ack requests, hopefully this will help network speed.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Peer Profiles</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- Additions to store statistics on netdb performance, to assist floodfill peer selection
|
|
<br />- Reduction in storage for non-floodfill peers, to save about 2MB RAM</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Transport</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- To prevent easy blocking by malicious firewalls (matching source or destination port 8887), new I2P installs will now use a random port between 9000 and 32000. Users who have previously installed i2p are encouraged to change their port to make blocking more difficult.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>I2PSnark</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- Raise piece size limit from 1MB to 2MB</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><strong>Other</strong></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>- Continued cleanup of the code to reduce package size and memory usage
|
|
<br />- Continued console cleanup</p>
