ECIES (ratchet) introduced about 4 years ago, and we are still defaulting to both ECIES and ElG in most places.
There are four cases:
- New install: $I2P/i2ptunnel.config as shipped
- New tunnel: i2ptunnel code sets default
- Existing tunnel, no enc type config: i2ptunnel code sets default
- Existing tunnel, config changed and saved via UI in last 4 years: Setting as in config file
Changes:
- New install: Change eepsite and IRC client to ECIES-only; shared clients remains both
- New tunnel: Change from both to ECIES-only
- Existing tunnel, no enc type config: Change servers to ECIES-only; clients remain both
- Existing tunnel with enc type config: No defaults, no change
- Add support for Tor RESOLVE extension by caching and returning fake IP
- Handle user/pw when not required to support Tor stream isolation
(not really isolating, just handling the authentication)
- Fix user/pw authentication
- Handle outproxy config changes after start
- Support CONNECT outproxies
- Add config UI for outproxy type
- Enable IPv6 (untested)
- Support outproxy config with :port (untested)
- Various cleanups
Further testing required
Update some KeysAndCert and PKF debug output

Replaces the 256-byte ElG key in dests with padding.
Make all padding in dests and router identities a repeating random 32-byte pattern.
This will make gzipped dests and router identities be much smaller:
Dests: appx. 320 bytes smaller (82% reduction)
RIs: appx. 288 bytes smaller (74% reduction)
Expected to primarily benefit database store messages and streaming SYNs.
Does not rekey or affect existing destinations or router identities.
Testers running this patch may be identifiable via transient destinations.
New installs with this patch will be identifiable via router identities.
This also will significantly speed up Destination creation as
we will no longer generate an ElG keypair.
Tested for several months.
Add UI for enabling log compression (requires routerconsole.advanced)
Don't save and display override changed message unless overrides changed
Only call ctx.logManager() once in helper/handler
