-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi y'all, After 5 months of crunching and testing on the 0.5 series of releases, we've got the 0.6 build ready for your enjoyment. In here the big change is the new SSU [1] transport running on UDP instead of TCP, allowing us to remove the per-peer thread and memory issues we have seen so far. In addition, some peer review by an anonymous contributor has allowed us to improve some of the cryptographic routines used in the tunnels and connection establishment. A full list of changes is as always up on the web [2]. [1]http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/router/doc/udp.html?rev=HEAD [2]http://dev.i2p.net/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/i2p/history.txt?rev=HEAD This release includes the base SSU functionality - enabling communication between reachable peers reliably and efficiently, but 0.6.1 will include support for "introducers", letting people behind firewalls and NATs that they don't control join the network and participate fully. While the 0.6 release is deployed and we measure its real world performance, we'll be crunching away on 0.6.1 with the aim of getting that out later this summer. After 0.6.1 stabilizes, we'll package 'er up and stick the "1.0" label on it and move our focus towards providing more engaging user experiences. Updating will be fairly easy, but due to a minor bug in previous releases, you won't be able to use the 0 click update. Instead, just grab the i2pupdate.zip [3] and save it to your I2P install directory, then click on "Graceful restart" [4]. After it restarts, you'll want to "reseed" and make sure your router is reachable from the outside world via UDP on your SSU port (8887 by default). This release is NOT backwards compatible, so please upgrade ASAP - a few services are already on the new release - squid.i2p, cvs.i2p, www.i2p, and dev.i2p, so grab yours today :) [3] http://www.i2p.net/download [4] http://localhost:7657/configservice.jsp This release was a long time coming, both due to caution necessary when designing, implementing, and testing a new transport protocol, as well as my fairly hectic move to a new region and the resulting infrequent internet access. Thanks again for your patience, and especially to the folks contributing code, content, and cash - we'd be in tough shape without y'all! =jr -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFC57tZWYfZ3rPnHH0RAsKdAJ4+U4eDZG17xhUPxHktS531Yx0G9ACdEbLU tl1jInwpe6hlBQ/paK6bA0w= =gfSw -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ i2p mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://i2p.dnsalias.net/mailman/listinfo/i2p ----- End forwarded message ----- -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.leitl.org 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
