I2P 0.6.4 release

I2P Anonymous Network I2P release v0.6.4

I2P is an anonymizing network, offering a simple layer that identity-sensitive applications can use to securely communicate. All data is wrapped with several layers of encryption. The network is both distributed and dynamic, with no trusted parties.

Many applications are available that interface with I2P including mail, peer-peer file sharing, IRC chat and others.

0.6.4 is available in monotone and at http://echelon.i2p/0.6.4/ . It will be a few hours before it is available at http://www.i2p2.i2p/download.html and via the automatic update mechanism.

I2P release 0.6.4
=====================

The 0.6.4 release adds performance and stability improvements. Floodfill peers which are already connected, are preferred for RouterInfo stores, and references to new floodfill peers obtained from ordinary peers in case of shortage.

Preference for already connected peers is generally increased by considering them active. Timeouts during tunnel joins are now counted against peer profiles.

Improvements to the shutdown handler, tunnel builder, router throttling, collection of tunnel pool statistics, as well as router console and I2PSnark improvements
(and texts to explain reachability issues) are also included.

This release is backward compatible: if you already have 0.6.1.31 or greater installed, it will recognize the signature on the signed update file, and you can update automatically.

As customary, for people who don't have the option of checking GPG signatures, supplied below are the SHA1 hashes of released files:

- Add missing message accounting for inbound gateways,
we were underestimating participating traffic because of it,
and the tunnels were classified "inactive"
- Add participating tunnel role on tunnels.jsp

2008-09-18 zzz
* Throttle:
- Correctly check inbound and outbound total bw limits separately
- Fix up and actually use the tunnel.participatingMessageCount stat,
favor it if lower than the total bw stat, so that
client traffic isn't included for throttle decisions
- Reduce min message count from 60 to 40

- Add tunnel.participatingBandwidth stat
- Remove all 3h and 24h stats

2008-09-15 zzz

* Router: Shutdown clients first
* Throttle:
- Use 60s rather than 10m tunnel.participatingMessageCount stat
- Fix a summary bar message
* Tunnel Dispatcher: Update tunnel.participatingMessageCount
every 20s, rather than at tunnel expiration, to maintain
a more current stat
* Tunnel Pool:
- Prevent excess zero-hop tunnels
- Always wait before looping in BuildExecutor
* configlogging.jsp: Increase box width
* logs.jsp: Remove unused connection log, cut wrapper log output in half

2008-09-12 zzz
* Blocklist: Fix a log message format
* HarvesterJob: Don't instantiate if disabled
* i2psnark:
- Add config i2psnark.linkPrefix to enable access to completed
torrents from a different machine - examples:
i2psnark.linkPrefix=file://///localserver/path/to/files/
i2psnark.linkPrefix=http://localwebserver/path/
(Stop i2psnark, add to i2psnark.config, restart)
- Remove Galen and NickyB trackers
* NetDb: Add netDb.exploreKeySet stat
* netdb.jsp: Add parameter ?r=xxxxxx to view a single routerinfo,
and ?r=. to view our own; change links on other pages too

2008-09-06 zzz
* EepGet command line: Fix byte counts after a failed resume
* NTCP: Mark unreachable on outbound connection timeout
* Shitlist: Fix partial shitlisting (still unused though)
* Summary Bar: Warn if firewalled and floodfill
* Throttle: Combine current and last bw measurement,
reduce default max tunnels to 2500 (was 3000)
* Tunnel BuildHandler: Logging cleanup
* UpdateHandler: Cleanup, clarify failure message
* DataHelper: Prepare for 999 day uptime :)

2008-08-29 zzz

* Shutdown: Call the shutdown hooks before the router shutdown
rather than after
* Stats: Remove tunnel.Bps.* stats when the tunnel pool is closed

2008-08-27 zzz
* Floodfill Peer Selector: Prefer already-connected floodfill
peer for direct RouterInfo stores, to mimimize floodfill
connections
* Peer Profiles: Classify connected peers as "active",
which will help improve the fast pool
* Transport Manager: Add isEstablished(Hash)
* NTCP: Reduce max idle time from 20m to 15m
* NetDb stats: Post-0.6.3 clean up
