1 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre3. Instead of listing all that has
2 changed, here is the short list of what is known NOT to work,
3 in order of minor flaws to major issues, by module:
5 * FS still has a few missing features, but largely works
6 * TESTING does not support incremental HELLO changes
7 * TRANSPORT ATS is not used for actual bandwidth assignment,
8 important options to make it truly useful are still missing
9 * MESH does not work (mock API emulates for VPN)
11 * TRANSPORT-WLAN is experimental
12 * CHAT is experimental, has known bugs and was not reviewed yet
13 * MONKEY is highly experimental
15 With this release we will finally start with
16 a detailed accounting of changes in the ChangeLog.
18 Thu Dec 23 23:33:05 CET 2010
19 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre2.
21 Thu Oct 7 20:51:05 CEST 2010
22 Removed dependency on GNU MP (GMP). The code now uses the libgcrypt MPI
25 Sat Jul 3 20:47:45 CEST 2010
26 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre1.
28 Wed Jun 23 16:34:38 CEST 2010
29 Added support for systemd-compatible passing of listen-sockets
30 by ARM to services as well as systemd compatibility for gnunet-service-arm
31 itself. At least for non-MINGW systems this should work.
33 Sat Jun 5 18:08:39 CEST 2010
34 Added support for UNIX domain sockets, code also defaults to
37 Sun May 2 13:49:10 CEST 2010
38 Fixed problem with platform-dependence of format for IP addresses
39 in HELLOs for TCP and UDP transport.
40 Reduced address length field in HELLOs to 16 bit (was 32 bit).
41 These changes break transport compatibility.
43 Fri Apr 16 18:19:05 CEST 2010
44 Nearly complete rewrite and new overall architecture. Many
45 features are still missing, but basic system seems to be
46 working again. Maybe time to again track major changes
47 in the ChangeLog. Releasing 0.9.0pre0.
50 Sun Feb 1 19:51:40 MST 2009
51 Fixed Mantis #1429 (struct padding could cause sizeof
52 to be different on AMD64, using gcc-ism "packed" to
55 Sun Feb 1 00:37:16 MST 2009

74 result in bloomfilter update during gnunet-update.
76 Sat Jun 28 23:43:00 MDT 2008
77 Fixed bug preventing namespace advertisements from
80 Sat Jun 14 00:54:39 MDT 2008
83 Fri Jun 13 23:51:00 MDT 2008
84 GNUnet now compiles on OpenBSD.
86 Wed Jun 11 22:17:09 MDT 2008
87 Made state of gnunet-auto-share persistent.
88 Added support for multiple directories. Improved
89 FSUI/ECRS APIs to reduce the number of threads needed
90 for probing. Increased number of concurrent probes
93 Sat Jun 7 17:54:49 MDT 2008
94 Simplified namespaces a lot. Shorter timeouts for
95 trying to connect to gnunetd to prevent interactive
96 apps from blocking too long when gnunetd is not
99 Sun Jun 1 21:11:54 MDT 2008
102 Sun Jun 1 13:41:27 MDT 2008
103 Split of libgnunetpseudonym from libgnunetnamespace
104 (with major API extension and changes).
106 Tue May 6 04:10:02 MDT 2008
107 Added simple sanity check for [MODULES] values.
108 Added "-s" and "-q" options to gnunet-peer-info.
110 Thu Apr 24 00:05:17 MDT 2008

112 (no need to pass FSUI context anymore).
114 Mon Apr 21 21:05:20 MDT 2008
115 Adding buffered IO for FSUI's serialize and
118 Sun Apr 20 20:01:20 MDT 2008
119 Fixed bug in HTTP transport causing lonely messages
120 (responses to GET) not to be delivered.
122 Mon Mar 24 21:15:36 MDT 2008
123 Fixed various problems with downloading locally
124 indexed large files (downloading large files from
125 other peers should not have been a problem).
127 Sun Mar 2 15:33:41 MST 2008
128 Added option to allow user to disable IPv6 support.
131 Sat Mar 1 21:14:02 MST 2008
132 Fixed some dstore performance issues.
133 Made transports alternate between trying IPv4 and IPv6
134 if both are available (since one of them maybe
137 Mon Feb 25 23:25:48 MST 2008
138 Cleanup of the DNS code: removed GNUNET_IPvXAddress
139 and GNUNET_PRIP; centralized all DNS lookup code in
140 util/network/dns.c; improved IPv6 support for
143 Mon Feb 25 00:01:27 MST 2008
144 Added asynchronous search and download methods for
145 ECRS library. FSUI now can do with only one thread
146 per search or download (until now, we had two
147 threads per search / download).
149 Tue Feb 19 20:35:28 MST 2008
150 Updated database schemata to support O(1) operations
151 even if there are N files under the same keywords.
152 This breaks database backwards compatibility (and
153 no migration code is provided).
155 Mon Feb 18 19:47:37 MST 2008
156 Added new options -u and -s to gnunet-insert.
158 Sat Feb 16 21:37:33 MST 2008
159 Implemented gnunet-auto-share for automatic
160 sharing of directories.
162 Thu Feb 14 01:02:32 MST 2008
163 Made HTTP transport work over IPv6 as well.
165 Wed Feb 13 22:59:07 MST 2008
166 Modified mySQL and SQLite datastores to return diverse
167 result sets during (partial) hash-based get iterations
168 (should result in more diverse keyword result sets).
170 Tue Feb 12 23:54:34 MST 2008
171 First shot at integrated hostlist HTTP server based
174 Sat Feb 9 22:06:23 MST 2008
175 Minor changes to the ECRS/FSUI APIs for searches
176 (no more timeouts and/or max-results). Clients who
177 need these features could easily implement them
178 directly (and they are not really useful to begin
180 Also, the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are being integrated
181 so that we only listen to one port (running both IPv4
182 and IPv6 over the same port). This break transport
183 compatibility, but given that we're breaking protocol
184 compatibility for file-sharing already, this may
185 actually be a bit of a good thing (since it will now
186 be possible to tell if peers running the new GAP code
187 are connected to other peers running the new GAP code).
189 Sun Feb 3 13:17:09 MST 2008
190 Dramatic changes to the GAP implementation (breaking
191 protocol compatibility). Essentially, we can save
192 a few bytes in each reply. More importantly, the new
193 code allows the searching client to specify a set of
194 replies that are not desired (hopefully helping to
195 dramatically increase the diversity of search replies
196 obtained over time). Note that the actual encoding
197 and databases are not affected (just P2P protocol).
198 The update is not complete yet, but should compile.
200 Tue Jan 8 20:07:20 MST 2008
201 Added option for testing ("make check") to use weak(er)
202 PRNG for key generation (thanks to Werner Koch for
203 pointing out how to do it).
205 Thu Dec 22 20:10:37 MST 2007
206 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.3.
208 Sun Dec 9 14:34:32 MST 2007
209 Implemented MySQL version of the dstore-module. This
210 means that sqLite is now again truly optional.
212 Sat Dec 8 15:15:53 MST 2007
213 Integrated F2F topology into main topology module
214 (options are used to choose between F2F-only (old F2F),
215 minimum number of friend connections (NEW) or entirely
216 arbitrary connection set (default)).
218 Thu Dec 6 20:51:17 MST 2007
219 The SMTP transport is working again.
221 Thu Nov 22 20:49:16 MST 2007
222 United all libgnunetutil_*.so libraries into one big
223 libgnunetutil.so library (eliminates issues for binary
224 packagers and reduces file size by about 20%). Also
225 made sure that all exported symbols start with "GNUNET_".
227 Sat Sep 29 16:48:24 MDT 2007
228 Improved MySQL sqstore module performance.
229 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2c.
231 Sat Sep 8 18:01:36 MDT 2007
232 HTTP transport seems finally ready.
234 Sat Aug 25 23:58:21 MDT 2007
235 New and improved gnunet-setup GTK interface.
237 Mon Jul 30 00:07:44 MDT 2007
238 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2b.
240 Sun Jul 29 01:53:32 MDT 2007
243 Sat Jul 21 23:42:11 MDT 2007
244 Radical changes to MySQL implementation (trying to
245 address certain scalability issues).
247 Sat Jul 7 00:22:47 MDT 2007
248 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2a.
250 Fri Jul 6 22:54:52 MDT 2007
251 Fixed bugs in F2F topology code. Eliminated a few
252 confusing LOG messages.
254 Sun Jul 1 20:35:00 MDT 2007
255 Fixed issue with too many TCP connections being
256 created. Reduced CPU overheads by increasing
257 requirements for grouping of messages. Improved
258 various error messages.
260 Sat Jun 30 01:55:34 MDT 2007
261 Improved bloomfilter recomputation after quota change.
262 Fixed bloomfilter size computation. You must run
263 gnunet-update (will take a while).
265 Fri Jun 29 00:56:03 MDT 2007
266 Avoid re-connecting shortly after connection was shutdown.
268 Thu Jun 28 01:10:01 MDT 2007
269 Fixed high-latency problems for certain SQLite operations.
270 Also improved SQLite performance (but not scalability) a
271 bit. Resolved MySQL disconnect crash (gnunetd would crash
272 if mysqld was stopped).
274 Sat Jun 23 16:56:03 MDT 2007
275 Improved CPU consumption from content migration code
276 by querying the DB less often, using the same content
277 for more peers (at the expense of 1 MB extra memory
278 utilization). Fixed a deadlock.
280 Wed Jun 20 17:10:38 MDT 2007
281 Fixed bug in MySQL module.
283 Sun Jun 17 00:09:13 MDT 2007
284 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2.
286 Sat Jun 16 04:43:20 MDT 2007
287 http transport is amost back, now needing the
288 new libmicrohttpd. However, the code is still
289 highly experimental and not ready for production
292 Fri Jun 8 23:44:01 MDT 2007
293 Fixed bugs preventing namespace search from
294 working. Also extended testcase to cover
297 Tue May 29 23:15:27 MDT 2007
298 Fixed a major bug which resulted in peers without
299 traffic between them disconnecting (even if that
300 session was their only connection).
301 Fixed another major bug where nodes would not
302 properly forward HELLOs from other peers (given
303 certain common/default configuration options).
305 Sun May 27 22:39:48 MDT 2007
306 Added new API gnunet_testing_lib.h to make it
307 easier to write testcases that need to start
308 gnunetd. API is now used everywhere and the
309 ugly peer.conf files and directories are gone.
310 Fixed a bug with inserting empty directories.
311 Extended ECRS API to allow partial file download.
313 Sat May 26 18:24:15 MDT 2007
314 Fixed bugs with testcases (changes in names and
315 structure of options were not reflected in .conf
316 files for various testcases).
317 Fixed issues with command-line option handling (failed to
318 override configuration file options).
319 Fixed bogus nesting in GAP routing algorithm (caused
320 random request drops).
322 Fri May 25 12:23:38 MDT 2007
323 Finished extended URITRACK API.
324 Renamed various (minor) libraries and function calls to
325 get somewhat more consistent naming conventions.

328 Implemented heuristic for better packing of gnunet-directories.
330 Sun Mar 25 13:47:08 MDT 2007
331 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1c.

359 Improving support for multiple choice configuration items
362 Sat Jan 27 16:02:02 MST 2007
363 Changing $-expansion for interpretation of configuration file
364 (again). Also, now the base-path for gnunetd defaults to
365 "/var/lib/gnunet" instead of "/var/lib/GNUnet".
367 Tue Jan 23 19:48:37 MST 2007
368 Fixed problem with split-extractor keywords not being used
371 Tue Jan 16 21:43:26 MST 2007
372 Expanded transport APIs to avoid building messages for
373 transmission just to have them rejected by blocking TCPs
374 with full transmission queues (happened quite a bit).
376 Mon Jan 8 22:21:15 MST 2007
377 Making computation of send buffer permuations more
378 efficient (in terms of calling weak_randomi) by only
379 computing permuations over the actually selected messages.
381 Mon Jan 8 21:34:02 MST 2007
382 Forcing -O3 for crypto library (performance critical).
383 Enforcing message queue limit for daemon (somehow got lost
384 on the way to 0.7.1, was responsible for high CPU load).
385 Fixing cron job deletion in core (clean shutdown).
387 Sun Dec 31 23:56:31 MST 2006
388 ncurses may need "-lm" in order to link.
389 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1a.
391 Sat Dec 30 00:21:49 MST 2006
392 DHT routing now seems to work (not integrated with file-sharing,
393 only for gnunet-dht-query).
395 Fri Dec 29 09:38:53 MST 2006
396 Added UPnP support to GNUnet (IPv4 only, #843).
398 Thu Dec 28 21:22:10 MST 2006

463 Added conversion of ECRS error messages to FSUI
464 error event messages.
466 Sun Nov 19 00:20:14 MST 2006

468 text error messages to clients (not just error codes).
470 Wed Nov 15 23:17:36 MST 2006
471 Fixed expiration time setting. Improved bias of
472 migration towards valuable content.
473 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1pre0.

476 Fixed MySQL database size underreporting.
478 Wed Nov 1 13:09:53 MST 2006
479 Fixed some problems with index creation in sqlite
480 datastore (discovered with new sqlite benchmarking
481 code). Performance should improve significantly
482 (observed was a factor of 4-10 depending on
483 database size and operation).
485 Thu Oct 19 23:44:24 MDT 2006
486 Completed huge update to FSUI API (not fully debugged).
487 Major changes include:
488 * clients can associate pointer with each action
489 * abort methods can cancel action (but do not stop everything)
490 * upload and unindex operations can now be suspended and resumed
491 * cleaned up naming conventions
493 Thu Sep 14 23:44:17 MDT 2006
494 Breaking UDP transport protocol compatibility -- some
495 fields have to be switched around to make it work with
496 the new select code. Expect to see some warnings when
497 interacting with 0.7.0 peers.
499 Tue Sep 5 21:28:25 PDT 2006
500 Switched ncurses interface of gnunet-setup to use
501 external dialog library (new dependency!).
503 Fri Aug 18 00:01:37 PDT 2006
504 Swiched http bootstrap mechanism to using libcurl
507 Sat May 20 08:37:02 PDT 2006
508 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0e.

525 (priority was left at zero, making those blocks be
526 possibly discarded rather quickly once the datastore filled
529 Tue May 2 00:01:25 PDT 2006
530 Fixed bug in gap where the tracking of query origins for
531 optimizing routing paths lacked a simple assignment of the
532 query origin (found by code inspection). As a result,
533 routing performance should improve further. Also fixed
534 small memory leak in gap and reduced memory consumption by
537 Sat Apr 22 13:50:39 PDT 2006
538 Fixed bug in util/cron.c where stopCron() would wait for an
539 unnecessary sleep to complete.
541 Sat Mar 18 12:54:11 PST 2006
542 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0c.
544 Thu Mar 16 22:14:01 PST 2006
545 Fixing various routing problems (resulting in better utilization
546 of bandwidth by routing more content and less queries).
548 Wed Mar 15 00:00:14 PST 2006
549 Fixing various content migration bugs (one that disabled it,
550 one that made it unlikely that migration was even tried, and
551 then various crashes in formerly dead code).
553 Mon Jan 23 19:04:17 PST 2006
554 Added Swedish translation.
556 Sun Jan 1 21:35:59 PST 2006
557 Reduced amount of hashing done to be O(n) and not O(n^2) for
558 n local search results (for example, for 100 results, this can
559 make the difference between hashing 200 MB and hashing 20 MB).
561 Sat Dec 31 17:02:37 PST 2005
562 Added support for using -k multiple times in gnunet-pseudonym.
564 Wen Dec 28 00:22:54 CET 2005

592 Sun Aug 21 23:08:57 PDT 2005
593 Fixed bugs causing unnecessary long delays for downloads from
594 loopback. Also now bypassing routing table for loopback download
595 (faster, avoids pollution of the routing table when not needed).
597 Sun Aug 21 18:42:14 PDT 2005
598 Fixed memory leak in gnunet-insert -R. Improved memory utilization
599 by SQlite dramatically (see discussion on gnunet-developers).
601 Sat Aug 20 21:04:28 PDT 2005
602 Fixed (rare) segmentation fault in insertion code.
604 Sat Aug 20 19:31:10 PDT 2005
605 Yet another tiny bug -- but one that hangs gnunetd; fixed in pre6a.
607 Sat Aug 20 13:51:01 PDT 2005
610 Sat Aug 20 12:51:27 PDT 2005
611 Changed sqlite data format to avoid encoding-decoding
612 (breaks compatibility with previous datastores, in particular
613 since conversion code is NOT provided).
614 The page size was also increased, rendering the database files
617 Thu Aug 18 21:18:28 PDT 2005
618 Made quotations match GNU standards.
620 Wed Aug 17 20:05:19 PDT 2005
621 Fixed bug that would prevent P2P messages from being
622 transmitted under certain (common) circumstances.
624 Mon Aug 15 00:08:47 PDT 2005
625 Bugfest. Fixed various bugs in MySQL, fragmentation,
626 core and fs (see Mantis for more details).
628 Mon Jul 18 01:03:05 CEST 2005
629 Alpha-rename fest. Releasing 0.7.0pre5.
631 Sun Jul 17 13:49:40 CEST 2005
632 Fixed problems with struct alignment on 64-bit
633 AMDs. Fixed recently introduced memory leak.
634 Fixed various compiler warnings.
636 Sat Jul 16 23:55:31 CEST 2005
637 Fixed various minor problems with platforms
638 without gettext/NLS support and for 64-bit size_ts.
639 Also fixed a couple of other compiler warnings.
640 Cleaned up connection.c code.
642 Mon Jul 11 14:41:18 CEST 2005
643 Fixed tiny memory leak in http_bootstrap.
645 Mon Jul 11 02:22:24 CEST 2005
646 Fixed long-standing problems in statuscalls wrt
647 network load estimates, leading to too-high bandwidth
648 consumption on average. Fixed minor memory leaks.
649 Fixed far too often session-key exchange (was done
650 also for sessions that were already up).
652 Thu Jul 7 15:22:21 CEST 2005
653 Fixed bug in identity, missing ntohs for protocol ID.
654 Fixed bug in topology, wrong calculation of saturation.
656 Wed Jul 6 22:34:30 CEST 2005
657 Fixed bugs in core with respect to possible infinite
658 recursion caused by fragmentation callbacks. Also
659 differenciated between fatal transport sends and
660 transient transport sends. Cleanup of some APIs.
662 Sat Jul 2 17:21:07 CEST 2005
663 Fixed bugs in gnunet-pseudonym (listing of namespaces),
664 FSUI (double-free for namespace creation), cleaned up
665 APIs and implemented clearing of completed downloads
666 (FSUI). Releasing 0.7.0pre4.
668 Fri Jul 1 15:08:42 CEST 2005
669 Added statistics for transports and other connection-
670 related functions. Prevented core from dropping
671 messages just because transport is (temporarily)
672 blocked. Made transport selection in identity random
673 again where necessary.
675 Thu Jun 30 20:05:15 CEST 2005
676 Added cache for KBlocks (can speed up insertion speed
677 for recursive inserts quite a bit).
679 Thu Jun 30 13:52:17 CEST 2005
680 Enabled IPv6 by default. Fixed various minor bugs.
682 Tue Jun 28 13:41:58 UTC 2005
683 Fixed various open FIXMEs, including error handling,
684 bad performance and some memory leaks (gnunet-tools
685 only, not in gnunetd).
687 Mon Jun 27 17:21:09 CEST 2005
688 Fixed double-free segfault.
689 Fixed problem with session timeout not happening.
690 Fixed issue with too lazy slot reclaim for reconnect.
691 Made reconnect scanning more incremental (1/10th of
692 the work every 500ms instead of full work every 5s).
693 Fixed memory leak in advertisement processing.
695 Sun Jun 26 18:21:17 CEST 2005
696 Plenty of bugfixes everywhere, gnunet-setup works
697 now. Releasing 0.7.0pre3.
699 Sat Jun 11 11:25:24 EST 2005
700 Fixed various problems with recursive upload
701 (thread stack size too small, wrong filenames
702 passed around, wrong list of filenames updated).
704 Sat Apr 2 01:54:23 EST 2005
705 Various bugfixes, some of them critical (segfaults,
706 protocol errors (resulting in failures to connect),
707 old version of configuration file would be
708 generated if configuration was missing,
709 gnunet-insert would not properly work with multiple
710 keywords (-k and -K options)). Releasing 0.7.0pre2.
712 Thu Mar 31 21:38:06 EST 2005
715 Tue Mar 8 14:45:55 EST 2005
716 OpenSSL cannot fully support SHA-512. Eliminated as an
717 option (not necessary, GPL incompatible, trouble, work
718 to maintain -- in summary: not worth it).
720 Sat Mar 5 00:33:51 EST 2005
721 Changing hash algorithm to SHA-512.
722 Changing symcipher algorithm to AES-256.
724 Sun Feb 27 21:59:31 EST 2005
725 All unit testcases pass. Releasing 0.7.0pre0.
727 Sat Feb 12 17:35:08 EST 2005
728 Fixed mysql-test. Changed MySQL to use prepared statements,
729 avoids conversion (mysql_escape_string) and is faster on the
732 Wed Dec 15 20:47:40 EST 2004
733 Removed support for password encryption of namespace keys.
734 Hardly used and adds hardly any security. Encrypt /home if
735 you need this, would be more effective anyway.
737 Fri Nov 26 06:27:12 EST 2004
738 Sessionkey exchange works now, at least with OpenSSL. There
739 seems to be some quirk in some version of libcrypt with
740 respect to RSA encryption. Anyway, it is a heisenbug (sometimes
741 RSA decryption does not result in what was originally
742 encrypted), but I have the feeling this problem existed
743 already in 0.6.5 -- and it is now detected and does not
746 Tue Nov 23 02:35:50 EST 2004
747 The CVS may look like it's compiling, but that's just because
748 most of the service modules are not even attempted.
749 And without those, nothing will work. But in good news,
750 util, transport and server do compile now.
752 Sun Nov 21 03:53:22 EST 2004
753 Starting to make incompatible changes. Once this is commited
754 to CVS (which will only happen once at least some parts compile
755 again), this version will no longer be compatible with any
756 previously released version of GNUnet (and highly experimental).
757 Do not yet use the new code on-line, do not expect it to work
760 Sun Nov 14 16:49:02 EST 2004
761 Debugged collections, seems to work (not that it looks pretty,
762 but it basically works, the rest is UI work). Fixed deadlock
763 in gnunet-gtk logging. Releasing GNUnet 0.6.5.
765 Thu Nov 4 09:04:48 EST 2004
766 Added (highly experimental) support for collections.
768 Sat Sep 25 22:29:48 EST 2004
769 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4a.
771 Sun Sep 19 23:39:04 EST 2004
772 Various code cleanups and minor bugfixes.
774 Sun Aug 29 15:11:28 IST 2004
775 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4.
777 Tue Aug 24 20:59:14 IST 2004
778 Significant enhancements to namespaces. A namespace can
779 now be annotated with meta-data at the time that it is
782 Sat Aug 21 01:00:06 IST 2004
783 Adding GNU gettext support to configure.
785 Thu Aug 19 01:26:55 IST 2004
786 Migrating gnunet-gtk to GTK 2.0 (tested with 2.4).
788 Mon Aug 16 00:30:59 IST 2004
789 Removed gcry. Added dependency on GNU MP library (libgmp)
792 Tue Aug 3 17:57:43 IST 2004
793 Fixed bugs in gnunet-update. Fixed segfault in AFS startup.
794 Fixed warnings in gnunet-peer-info/gnunetd. Fixed packaging
795 error (not all of util/gcry included in distribution).
796 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3a.
798 Mon Aug 2 20:06:07 IST 2004
799 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3.
801 Sun Aug 1 01:31:19 IST 2004
802 Changed most places from HexName to the new, shorter EncName.
803 Pushed URIs for namespaces and keyword searches into more
804 widespread use. Replaced all occurences of sprintf with
805 SNPRINTF (to obtain extra bounds check).
807 Sun Jul 11 13:54:01 IST 2004
808 Moved testcases for libgnunet_util to util/ directory.
809 Made DB testcases in afs/module/ run for each available
810 database and not just the one configured in /etc/gnunet.conf.
812 Fri Jun 25 21:05:59 IST 2004
813 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2b (resolves various minor bugs).
815 Wed May 5 17:34:39 EST 2004
816 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2a (resolves libgcrypt and packageing
817 issues, improved gtk-statistics, other minor bugfixes).
819 Fri Apr 30 21:36:23 EST 2004
820 Fixed synchronization problem in cron (only relevant for
821 parallel downloading). Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2.
823 Mon Apr 26 21:13:45 EST 2004
824 Added support to gnunet-check to convert file index database
825 to new design. Removed support for pre 0.6.1b bloomfilter
826 conversion (would have been too messy to support both).
827 Added old-version check to gnunetd startup to make updates
828 more systematic in the future (not perfect, though).
830 Mon Apr 26 19:27:29 EST 2004
831 Recursive insertion of directories with gnunet-gtk
832 now works including the progress bar.
834 Sun Apr 25 18:24:55 EST 2004
835 Global changes to fix bug #698. The fix is still
836 incomplete with respect to pthread.h specific structs.
838 Sun Apr 25 15:20:29 EST 2004
839 Fixed compile error in IPv6 transports.
841 Fri Apr 23 23:38:01 EST 2004
842 Added recursive insertion of directories to gnunet-gtk.
843 Progress-bar does not work yet, also libextractor is
844 always used (no option to turn it off).
846 Fri Apr 23 21:49:18 EST 2004
847 Removed need to specify _protocol in configuration file
850 Wed Apr 21 23:32:36 EST 2004
851 Added code to bound priority used by clients by twice the
852 average priority of requests from other peers that are
853 routed at the moment. That prevents clients from exposing
854 themselves with excessively high priorities (and also
855 avoids giving too much credit/trust needlessly).
857 Tue Apr 20 22:27:19 EST 2004
858 Added possibility of using a link instead of making a copy
859 if gnunetd and the insert-client both run on the same machine.
861 Tue Apr 20 00:00:58 EST 2004
862 Added network transparency for indexing files (by copying
863 them to a GNUnet(d) specific directory). This breaks
864 unindexing (for files indexed with previous versions) and
865 forces the user to make a copy of the file. In the near
866 future we should resolve this problem by allowing the use
869 Sun Apr 18 17:24:34 EST 2004
870 Adding recursive, parallel download of directories to
873 Sun Apr 18 01:57:32 EST 2004
874 gnunet-transport-check can now be used to check
875 external connectivity (with other peers).
877 Sat Apr 17 17:46:19 EST 2004
878 Reduced memory consuption for AFS insertion and
881 Sat Apr 10 21:17:46 EST 2004
882 Implemented statistics-plot in gnunet-gtk based on
883 gnome-system-monitor code.
885 Fri Apr 9 22:01:51 EST 2004
886 Added support for libextractor > 0.2.7.
888 Fri Apr 9 0:29:20 EST 2004
889 Completed --help conversion.
891 Wed Mar 31 15:40:51 EST 2004
894 Tue Mar 30 22:42:13 EST 2004
895 Integrated gnunet-pseudonym-create, -delete and -list into
896 gnunet-pseudonym as well as gnunet-directory-list, -emptydb
897 and -print into gnunet-directory.
899 Tue Mar 2 10:46:01 EST 2004
900 Fixing bug preventing download for indexed files <= 1k.
902 Sat Feb 28 03:43:34 EST 2004
905 Sat Feb 21 06:16:47 EST 2004
906 Modified requestmanager to improve performance at the end of the
909 Thu Feb 19 00:48:33 EST 2004
910 Fixed integer underflow possibly causing slow download performance.
912 Sun Feb 15 15:17:05 EST 2004
913 Fixed weak key failures with libgcrypt.
915 Sun Feb 15 13:14:44 EST 2004
916 New routing code (untested) commited.
918 Sun Feb 15 11:58:10 EST 2004
919 Fixing problem with 64-bit size_t on alpha (#655).
921 Sat Jan 31 04:32:33 EST 2004
924 Fri Jan 23 00:00:09 EST 2004
925 Fixed indexed content being overwritten by migrated content
927 Thu Jan 22 19:27:33 EST 2004
928 Fixed integer-overflow problems in statuscalls.
929 Fixed missing ttl/priority adjustment for NS-Queries.
930 Fixed bug in routing that would let very old queries survive.
932 Thu Jan 15 23:14:54 EST 2004
933 Fixed size of super-bloomfilter (was factor of 32 to small).
934 Fixed option -r of gnunet-check (would not increment bloom filters
935 to appropriate value).
937 Wed Dec 31 17:07:40 EST 2003
938 Fixed various routing and bandwidth allocation problems.
941 Wed Dec 24 00:00:00 EST 2003
944 Fri Dec 19 00:57:29 EST 2003
945 NAT transport passes tests.
947 Sat Dec 13 00:16:41 EST 2003
950 Thu Oct 16 19:20:29 EST 2003
951 Added greedy knapsack heuristic for use by CPU-overloaded
954 Mon Oct 13 22:36:45 EST 2003
955 Improved gnunet-gtk code that forks of gnunetd (some extra checking,
956 use fork-exec instead of system(), pass configuration file as
959 Sun Oct 12 03:42:55 EST 2003
960 Split bandwidth montoring into up and downstream.
961 Why stop sending replies merely because we *receive* traffic!?
962 Also reduced frequency of HELO exchange.
963 Added more statistics (traffic by type).
965 Fri Oct 10 02:05:13 EST 2003
966 Fixed bug that wasted a lot of CPU time.
967 Better CPU usage control by making knapsack
968 solving (frequency and problem size) dependent
971 Thu Oct 9 14:29:35 EST 2003
974 Sun Oct 5 21:35:23 EST 2003
975 GNUnet 0.6.0 released.
977 Sat Oct 4 12:54:55 EST 2003
978 Fixed bug in timer code (discovered in testcase).
979 Added extensive testcases for platform dependent code.
981 Fri Sep 19 01:38:00 EST 2003
982 Added code to allow namespace queries to return multiple
983 results. Updates are now displayed in separate tabs.
985 Wed Sep 17 23:54:15 EST 2003
986 Migrated libgcrypt code in util to comply with
987 libgcrypt 1.1.43 (and it passes the tests just fine)
989 Wed Sep 17 22:59:16 EST 2003
990 Fixed problems with updates in namespaces in the GTK code.
991 Added boolean search capability (x AND y) to GTK search.
992 Made namespace search frequency respect TTL delays.
994 Thu Aug 21 19:42:57 EST 2003
995 GNUnet 0.5.5 released.
997 Tue Aug 12 20:48:39 EST 2003
998 Support for namespaces with updates is there,
999 but requires testing.
1001 Sun Jul 27 14:48:19 EST 2003
1002 Added download summary window to gnunet-gtk.
1004 Fri Jul 25 14:15:37 CET 2003
1005 Unioned gnunet-insert-multi and gnunet-insert-sblock
1008 Thu Jun 26 23:22:12 EST 2003
1009 Added draft support for directories.
1011 Thu Jun 26 23:21:41 EST 2003
1012 GNUnet 0.5.4a released
1014 Sat Jun 14 19:21:41 EST 2003
1015 Added support for HTTP-PROXY to download the hostlist.
1017 Wed May 29 01:13:15 EST 2003
1018 Fixing some ugly bugs in connection.c that caused
1019 permanent connection-drop and connection-establish
1020 cycles (every 5 minutes).
1022 Sat May 24 03:12:42 EST 2003
1023 Migrated subset of libgcrypt into GNUnet tree to use
1024 it instead of OpenSSL or libgcrypt. RSA in the new
1025 code is broken at the moment.
1027 Sun May 18 04:10:25 EST 2003
1028 GNUnet 0.5.4 released.
1030 Sat May 10 21:39:35 EST 2003
1031 Only download hostlist after a while if we were
1032 not able to connect (to reduce load on hostlist
1035 Fri May 2 23:20:15 EST 2003
1036 Added code to handle massive collisions in datastore
1037 (thousands of files under the same keyword).
1039 Sun Apr 27 23:52:12 EST 2003
1040 GNUnet 0.5.3 released.
1042 Wed Apr 23 03:20:21 EST 2003
1043 Build system cleanup, location of mysql, gdbm, tdb and
1044 db can now be specified.
1046 Mon Apr 21 01:54:24 EST 2003
1047 Made random content selection with pIdx faster
1048 (do not read entire pidx files) and fully random
1049 (added code to weigh pidx files by number of entries).
1051 Sun Apr 20 23:25:45 EST 2003
1052 Fixed double-free in TCP transport code (seems to have
1053 only had a real chance to occur under BSD in practice).
1055 Sat Apr 19 14:42:37 EST 2003
1056 Replaced use of dlopen for plugins with the more
1057 portable ltdl from libtool.
1059 Thu Apr 17 20:36:42 EST 2003
1060 Added synchronization to pIdx, also use truncate
1061 to remove last n entries instead of re-writing the
1062 entire file (much, much faster).
1064 Mon Apr 7 00:00:07 EST 2003
1065 Implemented gnunet-delete.
1067 Sat Apr 5 15:55:31 EST 2003
1068 Made directory database use 256 sub-directories
1069 (should increase speed a lot, with the new DB
1070 manager, this will result in at most 2048
1071 files per directory).
1073 Mon Mar 31 16:51:24 EST 2003
1074 gnunet-convert and gnunet-check compile again
1075 with the new DB code.
1077 Sun Mar 30 13:14:52 CET 2003
1078 Added BSD DB (libdb) support.
1080 Sun Mar 23 04:04:38 EST 2003
1081 Big gnunet-gtk cleanup.
1083 Tue Mar 18 01:52:18 EST 2003
1086 Sun Mar 16 20:24:24 EST 2003
1087 Caching of RSA signatures for HELOs reduced CPU
1088 usage dramatically, from an average of 31% to less
1089 than 5% on my machine.
1091 Sun Mar 16 01:21:16 EST 2003
1092 Fixed locking problem and problem with TCP transport
1093 (bad set of sockets in select).
1095 Sat Mar 15 03:02:42 EST 2003
1096 Fixed bug that copied wrong content (garbage) into
1097 replies for other peers. This one was introduced
1098 briefly before 0.5.2. Argh.
1100 Fri Feb 28 00:23:02 EST 2003
1101 Fixed segfault in gnunet-gtk when closing search
1104 Thu Feb 27 16:23:20 EST 2003
1105 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.2.
1107 Mon Feb 24 00:28:52 EST 2003
1108 Cleaning up the AFS routing code, also some tweaks
1109 to improve anonymity against an active attacker.
1111 Thu Feb 20 23:51:30 EST 2003
1112 gnunet-tracekit works now nicely (and with dot).
1113 Also, GNUnet now attempts to locate a configuration
1114 file in /etc/gnunet.conf if ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf
1115 does not exist (and nothing is specified on the
1118 Wed Feb 12 23:21:44 EST 2003
1119 Fixed deadlock between pingpong and connection
1122 Tue Feb 4 13:22:09 EST 2003
1123 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.1(a).
1125 Tue Feb 4 04:05:58 EST 2003
1126 RSA encryption of OpenSSL has been changed to pure
1127 PKCS #1 to achieve compatibility with libgcrypt.
1129 Mon Feb 3 18:46:54 EST 2003
1130 RSA signature encoding has been changed from raw
1131 to PKCS #1 compatible encoding. This should help
1132 making the migration to libgcrypt easier in the
1133 future. RSA & libgcrypt are still not friends,
1134 but the GNUnet code should be mostly there.
1136 Fri Jan 31 10:40:01 EST 2003
1137 gnunet-peer-info tool was added. This tool can
1138 prints information about all known peers and may
1139 be useful for diagnostics.
1141 Mon Jan 20 17:54:51 EST 2003
1142 A large number of memory leaks got fixed thanks
1143 to the new automated scripts to find them.
1145 Thu Jan 16 00:49:20 EST 2003
1146 Nearly finished removing dependencies on OpenSSL
1147 (using libgcrypt instead), $FOO-expansion in
1148 configuration parsing and RSA (public key crypto)
1149 are the only missing pieces.
1151 Mon Jan 13 01:53:45 EST 2003
1152 Fixed deadlock in gnunetd (would stop processing
1155 Sun Dec 27 13:34:11 CET 2002
1156 Fixed segmentation fault that occured when number
1157 of known peers goes over 128.
1159 Sat Dec 21 16:27:11 CET 2002
1160 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.0.
1162 Sat Dec 14 03:47:05 CET 2002
1163 Bugfixes over bugfixes. Various memory leaks
1164 from gnunetd to gnunet-download, problems
1165 with bloomfilters and gnunet-check, enforcing
1166 storage limitations set by the user, fixes
1167 in the UDP, TCP and SMTP transports;
1168 better thread termination (avoid asynchronous
1169 cancellation). Not to mention the new
1170 tools gnunet-transport-check and gnunet-tbench
1171 for the evaulation of correctness and performance
1172 of the transport services.
1174 Wed Nov 6 22:49:24 EST 2002
1175 Added load smoothing for network and CPU load
1176 such that we quickly adapt to increasing load,
1177 but slowly reduce the (effective) load value
1178 used in the policy if the load drops. This should
1179 help avoiding 0-1 policies where we always jump
1180 up and down between 100% load and no load, letting
1181 in one period all traffic through and in the next
1184 Wed Nov 6 00:31:39 EST 2002
1185 Added port==0 for UDP and TCP transport as an
1186 option to indicate that the transport is to be
1187 used only to establish connections to other
1188 peers but not as a server-socket (that is,
1189 if the port is 0, other GNUnet peers can not
1190 connect to the local node's UDP or TCP port,
1191 but the local node can still use UDP
1192 (unidirectional) or TCP (even bi-directional)
1193 to talk to other peers. This is useful if a
1194 node is behind a NAT box and can not receive
1195 inbound traffic but is able to send messages to
1196 other peers (and in the case of TCP even receive
1197 messages if the local peer initiated the
1198 bi-directional connection). Currently, a peer
1199 must always provide at least one transport under
1200 which the peer can be "actively" reached since
1201 otherwise other peers will not keep the public
1202 key of that peer and thus not be able to
1203 complete the session key exchange. For NAT-box
1204 peers, SMTP might be a viable choice for that
1207 Fri Oct 11 02:16:42 EST 2002
1208 Added bloomfilter interface and calls to the BF from
1209 the AFS service implementation. Missing for working
1210 bloomfilter are calls from gnunet-insert to update
1211 the bloom-filter (top-CHK and super-queries) and the
1212 actual bloom-filter implementation.
1214 Tue Oct 8 20:35:45 EST 2002
1215 TCP transport now works with only one thread (using
1216 select) instead of one thread per peer-connection.
1218 Fri Sep 27 02:24:52 EST 2002
1219 New content encoding (still only 1k blocks, but with
1220 CHK style IBocks and GBlocks for aggressive content
1221 migration) now seems to work.
1223 Mon Sep 16 01:57:55 EST 2002
1224 Implemented gnunet-chat, a demo-application for
1225 how to develop p2p applications on top of GNUnet.
1227 Sun Sep 15 22:48:28 EST 2002
1228 Fixing (long standing) problem with segfaults under BSD
1229 due to stack overflow in threads.
1231 Sun Sep 15 02:04:52 EST 2002
1232 TCP transport layer implementation seems to work now.
1233 gnunet.conf is now documented on the web. HELO exchange
1234 is fixed, so is the CS-connection whitelisting.
1236 Fri Sep 13 00:51:01 EST 2002
1237 Update on the progress towards 0.4.9. What is missing?
1238 * new content encoding to facilitate:
1240 - discriminated routing (downloads vs. searches)
1241 - variable blocksize (?)
1242 - self-synchronizing stream encoding (?)
1243 * additional transport layers (SMTP, TCP, HTTP)
1244 * demo application (chat) for how to use the API
1245 * documentation on new gnunet.conf
1247 - Igor reports, HELO exchange is broken
1248 - David reports, CS-connection whitelisting is broken
1249 - rpm.spec is outdated (add GNUnet's dynamic libraries)
1251 What has been resolved so far:
1253 * transport and application layer have been abstracted
1254 * dynamic loading of transports and applications is
1256 * routing much faster since slots are freed earlier
1257 * querymanager is more intelligent in where to send
1258 queries (presumably, not tested)
1261 * configuration can store options from commandline
1262 * statistics is totally dynamic and can be extended
1263 * connection buffer does callbacks on applications to
1264 fill buffers with queries instead of noise, and
1265 the querymanager makes use of this
1269 * gnettypes.h is gone
1270 * AFS specific code is all in AFS
1271 * renaming is also done
1273 Sun Aug 25 15:30:56 EST 2002
1274 Moving work towards 0.4.9 to CVS. The major goals are:
1275 * independent transport layer (UDP, TCP, SMTP, HTTP,
1276 any of these should be possible in the future); also,
1277 the MTU may be defined differently by any one of them.
1278 * independent application layer. Anonymous File Sharing
1279 (AFS) should just be one application for the GNUnet
1282 Other minor goals and refactorings include:
1283 * configuration - we should be able to update dynamically
1284 options from the gnunet.conf file. E.g. by adding options
1285 from the command line
1286 * statistics - we should not have a hardwired fixed set
1287 of datapoints, the statistics module should be useful
1288 for any kind of statistics
1289 * noise reduction - the connection buffer should allow
1290 the use of intelligent applications that get notified
1291 if noise would be send and then can plug in useful data
1293 And then there is just moving stuff:
1294 * move "common/" to where it belongs (either applications
1296 * gnettypes is bad if we want to seperate app specifcs
1297 and core. The typedefs should be placed where they are
1299 * database does not belong in util, it's AFS specific
1300 * AFS: cleaner separation between database, encoding,
1301 protocol implementation, shell-tools and GUI code.
1303 And finally, renaming:
1304 * if we have TCP for peer-to-peer communications,
1305 we can't use "TCP" vs. "UDP" to distinguish p2p from
1306 client-server, thus: "UDP" becomes "p2p" and "TCP"
1307 becomes "CS". At least where they were used to distinguish
1308 node-to-node and client-server (gnunetd).
1310 Sun Aug 25 15:02:31 EST 2002
1311 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.6.
1313 Thu Aug 22 01:31:21 EEST 2002
1314 gnunet-gtk should now be able to perform multiple
1315 search and download operations simultaneously (atleast a couple).
1317 Tue Aug 20 23:11:10 EEST 2002
1318 Fixed segfault in gnunet-search and gnunet-gtk which appeared
1319 when there was lots of results.
1320 Modified gnunetd to return more results at once if there
1321 is excess bandwidth.
1323 Sun Aug 18 23:57:10 EST 2002
1324 Reworked the lookup-database. The old database got
1325 into trouble storing data when it was 6% full. Some
1326 simulations show that the new approach should manage
1327 94% and should be about as fast (more CPU, presumably
1328 slightly fewer random disc accesses).
1329 This change is INCOMPATIBLE with 0.4.5. You *must*
1330 run "gnunet-check -a" before starting this new version
1331 of gnunetd in order to migrate to the new format. For
1332 database simulation and statistical numbers, see
1333 also src/historical/simula.c.
1335 Fri Aug 16 17:07:15 EST 2002
1336 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.5.
1338 Fri Aug 16 16:43:39 EST 2002
1339 Added feature that will allow the specification of
1340 multiple URLs for downloading the initial hostlist.
1342 Mon Aug 12 02:28:14 EST 2002
1343 Fixed big problem in requestmanager that would
1344 make downloads *very* slow for no good reason
1345 at all (ttl increment in wrong place would make
1346 us defer the next request for more than twice
1347 as long as needed, plus some other minor bugs).
1349 Mon Aug 12 01:31:03 EST 2002
1350 Fixed bug #347 (option "-H" to gnunet-clients for
1351 connecting to a remote gnunetd node).
1353 Mon Aug 12 01:10:17 EST 2002
1354 Fixed bug #348 (no more scan of the entire database
1355 on startup, instead the databases (gdbm, tdb) contain
1356 an entry that gives the nubmer of entries). Note that
1357 this is not done for contentdatabase_directory.
1359 Sun Aug 11 17:00:03 EEST 2002
1360 Crude file insertion capabilities added to gnunet-gtk gui.
1362 Thu Aug 8 19:13:34 EST 2002
1363 Added progress bar / printing of insertion status to
1364 gnunet-insert (option "-V").
1366 Thu Aug 8 19:02:33 EST 2002
1367 Cleaning up code (establishing sessions, etc.)
1369 Thu Aug 8 18:03:05 EST 2002
1370 Fixed bug #343 (overflow in stats) by moving to
1371 long long. Let's hope that __BYTE_ORDER is
1372 actually defined outside of netinet/in.h.
1374 Thu Aug 8 17:47:17 EST 2002
1375 Fixed gnunetd segfaulting if gnunet.conf is not
1376 available. Also, recvfrom returning -1 with
1377 errno == EAGAIN was fixed earlier.
1379 Wed Jul 31 23:38:36 EST 2002
1382 Wed Jul 31 21:35:53 EST 2002
1383 Fixed bug with TCP connection that would not
1384 free thread resources and eventually lead to
1385 gnunetd not being able to start new threads
1386 anymore (mantis: #339).
1388 Tue Jul 30 23:38:51 EST 2002
1389 Fixed SIGHUP exiting. The main loop was exiting
1390 because recvfrom returned -1 with errno EINTR,
1391 which caused us to break out of the main loop.
1392 Also added gnunetd.pid file to simplify killing
1393 (or re-reading configuration of) the server.
1394 You must specify the PIDFILE in gnunet.conf!
1396 Tue Jul 30 20:38:47 EST 2002
1397 Started writing code to enable re-reading of the
1398 configuration file whenever we receive a SIGHUP.
1399 Works, except that after we've read the new
1400 config file, gnunetd exits (unknown why).
1402 Mon Jul 29 18:52:23 EST 2002
1403 Added shutdown code that terminates connection when
1404 SIGTERM is received (to avoid keeping lots of UDP
1405 traffic for the next couple of minutes from hosts
1406 that still believe we're up).
1408 Sat Jul 27 12:39:47 EST 2002
1409 Added code to measure network load asymmetrically (useful
1412 Fri Jul 26 22:46:54 EST 2002
1415 Wed Jul 24 21:13:08 EST 2002
1416 Fixed bug in locking and segfault (Linux tolerated,
1417 BSD crashed, both in connection.c), added logging service.
1419 Tue Jul 23 00:41:17 EST 2002
1420 Made gnunetd fork like a nice deamon should. Also
1421 started to add a logging service.
1423 Sun Jul 21 20:39:20 EST 2002
1424 Fixed issue with check_database (index checking too
1425 strict if content is available in database and
1426 on-demand encoded; also a bounds check was missing).
1428 Sun Jul 21 16:05:20 EST 2002
1429 Fixed deadlock in heloexchange (knownhost requires
1432 Sun Jul 21 02:02:32 EST 2002
1433 Improved routing table. Now does more dynamic memory
1434 allocation, reducing the fixed-size per slot from 700
1435 to 56 bytes. Increased number of slots from 512 to
1436 8092 (which is the optimal number for a 56 kbps
1439 Sat Jul 20 23:57:06 EST 2002
1440 Fixed bug that caused problems for files
1441 that were indexed and that had spaces in
1444 Wed Jul 17 22:50:24 EST 2002
1445 Fixed bug that prohibited a transitive HELO exchange
1448 Wed Jul 17 01:48:44 EST 2002
1449 Fixed a couple of bugs in gnunet-check and the
1450 insertion-tools. Now gnunet-check seems to run like
1451 a charm. Running it to detect and fix problems in
1452 the GNUnet databases seems now recommendable :-).
1453 Note that you must stop gnunetd before running
1456 Mon Jul 15 22:27:45 EST 2002
1457 Added return values for insertion. If we run out of
1458 space (in particular for the fixed-size index
1459 database), we can now communicate the problem to the
1461 gnunet-check is now pretty much feature-complete,
1462 but it takes of course very, very long to run. There
1463 is now also a man-page for gnunet-check.
1465 Thu Jul 11 11:33:34 EST 2002
1466 Added randomized order of blocks for the download
1467 (patch by I. Wronsky).
1469 Thu Jun 20 21:13:21 EST 2002
1470 Added HANGUP, a message send if one side terminates the connection.
1471 Sending the message is optional, but it is nicer to have it. Also
1472 started on gnunet-check, a tool to check database consistency.
1474 Thu Jun 20 03:11:01 EST 2002
1475 Improved handling of collisions in the hashes in the
1476 lookup module (uses no longer a linear scan on the
1477 collisions file but a hashtable for the collisions!).
1479 Tue Jun 18 20:29:38 EST 2002
1480 Released GNUnet 0.4.2.
1482 Tue Jun 18 20:20:55 EST 2002
1483 Fixed bugs in blacklisting IPs. Added feature to allow specification
1484 which networks are trusted enough to connect to the trusted TCP
1485 port (TCP/2086 no longer needs to be firewalled!).
1487 Tue Jun 18 02:35:53 EST 2002
1488 Fixed problems with ttl (negative TTL queries were forwarded),
1489 also better flushing of buffers and fewer SKEY exchanges due to
1490 a now working implementation of the blacklist. A DNS lookup for
1491 the NAT-box-IP configuration was also added.
1493 Sun Jun 16 04:11:01 EST 2002
1494 Added code to provide statistics (gnunet-stats).
1497 Sun Jun 9 22:56:02 EST 2002
1498 Released GNUnet 0.4.1.
1500 Sat Jun 8 05:00:36 EST 2002
1501 Several small bugfixes (list of shared files not updated on
1502 insertion, highest-bit of trust not interpreted as dirty,
1503 rpm dependency on libextractor added.
1504 Also many improvments to the build process.
1506 Wed Jun 5 17:01:58 EST 2002
1507 Made sure that HELOs don't trigger Ping-Pong if we don't
1508 really learn anything new.
1510 Tue Jun 4 17:17:45 EST 2002
1511 The port numbers were not in network-byte order. Fixing
1512 this is trivial, but it breaks compatibility with 0.4.0.
1513 Thanks to Rick Kennell for reporting the endianess issue.
1515 Mon Jun 3 20:35:47 EST 2002
1516 Fixed bug with CRC not endian-converted in gnunet-gtk.
1517 Added mimetype and filename support to gnunet-gtk.
1519 Sun Jun 2 03:52:18 EST 2002
1522 Sat Jun 1 22:13:12 EST 2002
1523 Added three-way handshake for SKEY exchange. Not tested.
1525 Sat Jun 1 16:55:18 EST 2002
1526 Fixed potential DDoS problem where malicious hosts could
1527 trick GNUnet servers to repeatedly probe a non-partitipating host
1528 trying to establish a connection. I wonder how many other
1529 p2p systems are vulnerable. (Fix: after HELO, play PING-PONG).
1530 The endianess issues should be fixed throughout the system, but
1531 not tested on a real machine so far.
1533 Sat May 25 15:55:11 EST 2002
1534 Moved to new CVS server. First changes towards 0.4.0:
1536 * insert/index via TCP
1537 * bugfixes (mostly performance)
1539 Sat May 18 16:00:06 EST 2002
1540 Added mimetype, filename and version number to RootNodes
1541 (mostly incompatible change!). Added automatic generic keyword
1542 and mime-type extraction via libextractor to gnunet-insert.
1544 Tue May 14 23:59:40 EST 2002
1545 New storage database is starting to look good. We can now store
1546 the data in a directory (one file per block), a gdbm database,
1547 and presumably (not tested) in a tdb database.
1549 Sat May 11 22:10:56 EST 2002
1550 Completed, deployed and tested the new TCPIO code. This changes
1551 the gnunetd-client protocol. Essentially, we convert the TCP stream
1552 into records with a length and type header. This should allow us
1553 to fix bug #212 and add other features in the future. The current
1554 change is really only changing the core TCP code and not anything
1555 around it. We should deploy some demultiplexing code later.
1557 Tue May 7 20:56:40 EST 2002
1558 Added IP blacklisting (for virtual private networks).
1560 Sat May 4 14:08:23 EST 2002
1561 Fixed bug with bad insertion of files smaller than 1k.
1563 Fri May 3 23:25:16 EST 2002
1564 Added IP change detection (useful for dialup) [bug #272].
1565 Added code to ensure that a HELO is life instantly
1566 after receiving it, fixing the 'unknown host,
1567 refusing SKEY problem' (bug #273). Other minor
1568 bugfixes (#274, #283).
1570 Sun Apr 14 22:36:03 EST 2002
1571 Added option to allow NAT boxes not to exchange
1572 foreign HELOs and thus expose the private
1573 network. Fixed bug that all other hosts should
1574 in fact do this exchange.
1576 Sat Apr 13 11:02:59 EST 2002
1577 Make sure that files are readable before returning TRUE
1580 Fri Apr 12 03:01:06 EST 2002
1581 Added padding messages with random if maximum
1582 packet size is not reached. All encrypted
1583 packets now look absolutely uniform in size
1584 for a non-participating adversary (before,
1585 a host that had few queries may have sent packets
1586 that were less than the maximum size).
1588 Thu Apr 11 01:43:28 EST 2002
1589 Added sequence numbers to protocol to defend
1590 against replay attacks (bug #185).
1592 Wed Apr 10 02:07:25 EST 2002
1593 Bugfix gnunet-insert-mp3 (endless loop).
1594 Updated documentation.
1596 Mon Apr 8 00:07:15 EST 2002
1597 Fixed endless-loop bug when activemigration is turned
1598 on (during startup).
1600 Fri Apr 5 02:03:13 EST 2002
1603 Fri Apr 5 00:33:42 EST 2002
1604 gnunet-gtk, the gtk+ based GUI is now functional and
1605 has all the features of gnunet-search and gnunet-download,
1606 including boolean queries. In fact, it is a bit better than
1607 gnunet-download as it shows the progress of the download.
1608 The manpage for gnunet-gtk was updated. Minor bugfixes.
1610 Mon Mar 25 02:59:13 EST 2002
1611 Changed writeFile to use a fourth parameter which is the
1612 desired permissions for the file. Files in data/hosts
1613 are now world-readable. Created man pages
1615 Mon Mar 18 17:56:52 EST 2002
1618 Sun Mar 17 10:47:51 EST 2002
1619 Got rid of far too frequent key exchange attempts.
1620 Added expiration for very-long-dead host keys. Stopped
1621 forwarding of expired HELOs (receiver drops anyway).
1623 Wed Mar 14 05:46:20 EST 2002
1624 Fixed some file location inconsistencies. All files are
1625 now in $HOME/GNUnet. RPM installation points to /var/GNUnet
1626 and the config file is ~/GNUnet/gnunet.conf
1627 Finished port to FreeBSD. This included mostly changes
1628 to src/util/statuscalls.c, but also several changes to
1629 the build system. Added a stat() call in the server code
1630 to make sure the config file exists before sending it to
1631 the OpenSSL conf code. Added getopt to source to fix
1632 portability issues. Changed FREEBSD defs to SOMEBSD, also
1633 changed in configure.in. Compiles and works on at least
1634 FreeBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 3.0
1636 Wed Mar 6 23:15:36 EST 2002
1637 Added code for 'fast scan' of the database for
1638 content to discard (should be called partial
1639 scan). This improves the startup-time dramatically.
1640 Every source file got the GNU header.
1642 Tue Mar 5 22:42:36 EST 2002
1643 Added option for *not* participating in content
1644 migration. Added timeout option to gnunet-search.
1645 gnunetd now periodically (1h) scans for new content,
1646 no restarting required.
1648 Mon Mar 4 23:21:51 EST 2002
1649 Optimized routing and content migration. Distance
1650 of the hash to the identity of the local host is
1651 now taken into account for routing. Hosts give
1652 higher priority to content that is close to their
1653 identity (priority towards keeping it). If the
1654 network grows, this should significantly improve
1655 the performance. Also, the choice of the hosts
1656 for routing is now based on proximity (to the
1657 query), the activity level of the host and its
1660 Sun Mar 3 00:14:58 EST 2002
1661 Implemented binary queries ("AND") for gnunet-search.
1662 Made sure that content is not downloaded again if
1663 already present (if there is other content, we
1664 overwrite). Fixed bug in gnunet-download
1665 (uninitialzied time-to-live).
1667 Sat Mar 2 01:57:37 EST 2002
1668 Finished porting the download-code to C. Now files can
1669 be downloaded in using shell commands. No GUI though.
1670 Released GNUnet v0.3.1.
1672 Wed Feb 20 23:47:19 EST 2002
1673 Big CVS moving operation.
1675 Sat Feb 16 23:17:27 EST 2002
1676 Started migration to GNUnet.
1678 Sun Feb 3 01:20:37 EST 2002
1679 Extracted crc32 method from zlib and put only that method into
1680 primitives. Reduces our memory footprint (if nobody else uses
1681 zlib) and we no longer depend no that library (always good).
1683 Sat Feb 2 22:56:32 EST 2002
1684 Building final tarball for v0.3.0.
1686 Wed Jan 30 23:41:04 EST 2002
1687 Created mp32gnet, a tool to automaticall index mp3 files
1688 using information from the mp3 header as keywords (title,
1689 artist, album, comments). The mp3 parsing code comes from
1690 the GPL tool mp3info.

1693 Fixed bug with files that were not closed under certain
1694 circumstances and lead to an exhaustion of the number of
1695 concurrently open files.
1697 Mon Jan 21 23:34:44 EST 2002
1698 Bumping version numbers to v0.3.0 (not yet released, needs some
1699 more testing to be on the safe side).
1701 Sun Jan 20 02:09:06 EST 2002
1702 Content gathering now discards the least important
1703 content in favour of new, more important content (if
1704 there is not space for all content). The cron
1705 management is now used everywhere. The rpm, the init-script
1706 and the gproxy shell script have been revised.
1708 Sun Jan 13 23:17:58 EST 2002
1709 Created cron management, replacing old control
1710 thread (allows for better timing of events).
1711 EvaluateContent now gets the priority of the
1712 query that the content had.
1714 Sun Jan 13 00:54:56 EST 2002
1715 Improved choice in number of hosts to forward
1716 queries to (now dynamic, depending on priority, etc.)
1717 Removed many, many allocations in print statements
1718 which also caused memory leaks if active (see
1720 Added CRC checking of the root node in GProxy. Fixed
1721 problem with CRC in IBlocks for large files.
1722 Added dialog to GProxy to choose where to save the file.
1724 Sat Jan 5 14:25:31 EST 2002
1725 Optimized routing table. Routing table is now a hashtable
1726 (collisions are handled by droping either the former or the
1727 new entry). Each bucket has it's own lock, the global
1728 semaphore is gone. The table has many more entries (we can
1729 afford that now that there is no longer a linear search).
1731 Wed Dec 26 19:30:41 CET 2001
1734 Tue Dec 25 21:24:18 CET 2001
1735 Fixed TTL errors that made queries loop. Added host-evaluation
1736 to policy (drop packets from untrusted hosts under load). Found that CRC-errors
1737 are related to policy decisions ("drop"), cosmetic fix.
1739 Sun Nov 25 08:10:52 EST 2001
1740 Added triple-hash functionality and on-demand encoding (lookup.c).
1742 Sat Nov 24 07:46:10 EST 2001
1743 Added randomized choice of hosts for the hosttable.
1745 Thu Nov 22 04:57:57 EST 2001
1746 Fixed another bunch of big bugs, tested, seems to work smoothly. Creating V0.1.0.
1748 Mon Nov 19 01:22:42 EST 2001:
1749 Fixed biggest (show-stopper) bugs. Creating V0.0.3
1751 Fri Oct 26 02:20:00 EST 2001:
