|
IPv6 is enabled and preferred by default. If you have a public IPv6 address
|
|
and you are connecting to another router with a published IPv6 address, it will
|
|
connect via IPv6. There is a new IPv6 configuration section on /confignet in
|
|
the router console. If IPv6 is causing problems you may disable it there.
|
|
{%- endtrans %}
|
|
|
|
{% trans -%}
|
|
As a part of the IPv6 development effort, I2P now supports multiple
|
|
published IP addresses. If you have multiple public IP addresses (IPv4, IPv6,
|
|
or both), you may enable or disable them individually on /confignet. The
|
|
default is to use the first IPv4 and IPv6 addresses it discovers. If you have
|
|
multiple addresses you should review the configuration on /confignet and adjust
|
|
it if necessary.
|
|
Note that while you may enable multiple IPv4 and IPv6 addresses on /confignet,
|
|
we recommend that you use only one IPv4 and one IPv6 address. There are
|
|
bugs still to be fixed with multiple addresses of each type.
|
|
{%- endtrans %}
|
|
|
|
{% trans -%}
|
|
While IPv6 support was designed and developed over several years, it has
|
|
only been tested by a limited number of users and is still beta. If you do have
|
|
a public IPv6 address, please monitor your router and the logs for problems,
|
|
and disable it necessary. Please report any bugs on
|
|
http://trac.i2p2.i2p.

{% trans -%}
|
|
For those of you running I2P on faster hardware (generally, 64-bit x86) the
|
|
router will generate a new identity using longer keys. This will substantially
|
|
reduce your participating traffic for 48 hours or more, while your router
|
|
re-integrates into the network. Due to the new keys, the large number of
|
|
torrent updates, and the recent network growth, we expect substantial
|
|
disruption to the network for a week or more after the update is released.
|
|
Please be patient and things should start to improve after a few days.

|
These changes may result in higher CPU usage for some of you. We're doing
|
|
our best to increase efficiency, but stronger security generally requires more
|
|
computation. Performance may also be poor during the first week
|
|
due to the network churn.
|
|
We will evaluate the network performace before deciding whether to
|
|
change the key length on slower hardware in a future release.

|
|
We are experiencing rapid network growth in the last few weeks, which is
|
|
causing a bit of a bumpy ride for some, especially on weekends. However, the
|
|
network is still performing fairly well, so keep spreading the word.

**{% trans %}More Changes Coming{% endtrans %}**
|

{% trans -%}
|
|
We're in the initial stages of desiging major changes to strengthen our
|
|
crypto. Stronger crypto will use more CPU and it may possibly
|
|
require a Java 7 JRE at a minimum. We understand your desire to run I2P on low-power
|
|
and/or older hardware. We're working hard to minimize the impacts, but some
|
|
loss of performance is inevitable. In addition, Java 5 and 6 are no longer
|
|
supported by Oracle. Now is a good time to upgrade to Java 7. Any change in
|
|
minimum requirements will be announced well in advance.

After a heroic effort by str4d, the new website preview is available at
|
|
http://i2hq.srv.i2p2.de. We hope to see it go live at
|
|
https://geti2p.net and http://www.i2p2.i2p soon. Please
|
|
contribute to the new website translations on Transifex, especially the
|
|
website_priority resource.

In early August, hottuna and zzz attended DEFCON 21 in Las Vegas.
|
|
Last weekend, echelon attended the CTS IV conference in Berlin and
|
|
psi attended the Tahoe-LAFS hackfest at GNU 30 in Cambridge, Mass.
|
|
Several of us will be at 30C3 in Hamburg late this year.
|
|
It's great to see people participating at these events and representing I2P.
