<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.

<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.
