Some Info About I2Phex and New I2P Version Released Today

I2P

Version 0.6.1.6

Changelog

* Update the sorting in Syndie to consider children 'newer' than parents, even if they have the same message ID (duh)
* Cleaned up some nav links in Syndie (good idea gloin, spaetz!)
* Added a bunch of tooltips to Syndie's fields (thanks polecat!)
* Force support for nonvalidating XML in Jetty (so we can handle GCJ/etc better)
* Be more explicit about what messages we will handle through a client tunnel, and how we will handle them. This cuts off a set of attacks that an active adversary could mount, though they're probably nonobvious and would require at least some sophistication.
* Added support for 'dynamic keys' mode, where the router creates a new router identity whenever it detects a substantial change in its public address (read: SSU IP or port). This only offers minimal additional protection against trivial attackers, but should provide functional improvement for people who have periodic IP changes, since their new router address would not be shitlisted while their old one would be.
* Added further infrastructure for restricted route operation, but its use is not recommended.
* Further Syndie UI cleanups
* Logging cleanup
* Fixed link to fproxy.tino.i2p (thanks zzz!)
* Don't publish stats for periods we haven't reached yet (thanks zzz!)
* Cleaned up the syndie threaded display to show the last updated date for a subthread, and to highlight threads updated in the last two days.
* Fix to save syndication settings in Syndie (thanks spaetz!)
* Removed spurious streaming lib RTO increase (it wasn't helpful)
* Streamlined the tunnel batching to schedule batch transmissions more appropriately.
* Default tunnel pool variance to 2 +0-1 hops
* IE doesn't strip SPAN from button form fields, so add in a workaround within I2PTunnel.
* Increase the maximum SSU retransmission timeout to accomodate slower or more congested links (though SSU's RTO calculation will usually use a much lower timeout)
* Moved the streaming lib timed events off the main timer queues and onto a streaming lib specific set of timer queues. Streaming lib timed events are more likely to have lock contention on the I2CP socket while other timed events in the router are (largely) independent.
* Fixed a case sensitive lookup bug (thanks tino!)
* Syndie cleanup - new edit form on the preview page, and fixed some blog links (thanks tino!)
* Implemented a trivial pure java PMTU backoff strategy, switching between a 608 byte MTU and a 1350 byte MTU, depending upon retransmission rates.
* Fixed new user registration in Syndie (thanks Complication!)
* More cautious file handling in Syndie
* More aggressive I2PTunnel content encoding munging to work around some rare HTTP behavior (ignoring q values on Accept-encoding, using gzip even when only identity is specified, etc). I2PTunnelHTTPServer now sends "Accept-encoding: \r\n" plus "X-Accept-encoding: x-i2p-gzip\r\n", and I2PTunnelHTTPServer handles x-i2p-gzip in either the Accept-encoding or X-Accept-encoding headers. Eepsite operators who do not know to check for X-Accept-encoding will simply use the identity encoding.
