-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi y'all, After 6 months of work on the 0.4 series, we've implemented and deployed the new streaming library, integrated and tested bittorrent, mail, and naming apps, fixed a bunch of bugs, and learned as much as we could from real world users. We now have a new 0.5 release which reworks the tunnel routing algorithms, improving security and anonymity while giving the user more control of their own performance related tradeoffs. In addition, we've bundled susi23's susimail client, upgraded to the latest Jetty (allowing both symlinks and CGI), and a whole lot more. This new release is not backwards compatible - you must upgrade to get anything useful done. There has been a lot of work going on since 0.4.2.6 a month and a half ago, with contributions by smeghead, duck, Jhor, cervantes, Ragnarok, Sugadude, and the rest of the rabid testers in #i2p and #i2p-chat. I could write for pages describing whats up, but instead I'll just direct you to the change log at http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/history.txt?rev=HEAD For the impatient, please review the install and update instructions up at http://www.i2p.net/download Please note that since this new release updates the classpath, the update process will require you to start up the router again after it finishes. Any local modifications to the wrapper.config will be lost when updating, so please be sure to back it up. In addition, even though this new release includes the latest Jetty (5.1.2), if you want to enable CGI support, you will need to edit your ./eepsite/jetty.xml to include: <Call name="addContext"> <Arg>/cgi-bin/*</Arg> <Set name="ResourceBase">./eepsite/cgi-bin</Set> <Call name="addServlet"> <Arg>Common Gateway Interface</Arg> <Arg>/</Arg> <Arg>org.mortbay.servlet.CGI</Arg> <Put name="Path">/usr/local/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/bin</Put> </Call> </Call> adjusting the Path as necessary for your OS/distro/tastes. New users have it easy - all of this is done for them. While the docs on the website haven't been updated to reflect the new tunnel routing and crypto changes yet, the nitty gritty is up at http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/router/doc/tunnel-alt.html?rev=HEA... There will be another release in the 0.5 series beyond this one, including more options for allowing the user to control the impact of predecessor attacks on their anonymity. There will certainly be performance and load balancing improvements as well, using the feedback we get deploying the new tunnel code on a wider network. Until the UDP transport is added in 0.6, we will want to continue to be fairly low key, as we've already run into the default limits on some braindead OSes (*cough*98*cough*). There is much we can improve upon while the network is small though, and while I know we all want to go out and show the world what I2P can do, another two months waiting won't hurt. Anyway, thats that. The new net is up and running, squid.i2p and other services should be up, you know where to get the goods, so get goin'! =jr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFCFc3OGnFL2th344YRAszOAKCfTh/OOAAyonRmKoRF/iw5BwRkZACgpGp4 qHMJkSo2mzjHTHRf98fsvdM= =Vfl3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ i2p mailing list i2p@i2p.net http://i2p.dnsalias.net/mailman/listinfo/i2p ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org">leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07078, 11.61144 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE http://moleculardevices.org http://nanomachines.net [demime 1.01d removed an attachment of type application/pgp-signature]
