2 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre3. Instead of listing all that has
3 changed, here is the short list of what is known NOT to work,
4 in order of minor flaws to major issues, by module:
6 * FS still has a few missing features, but largely works
7 * DATASTORE is O(n) where it should be O(log n) for some operations
8 * UDP does not work (only messages < 1500 bytes, no fragmentation)
9 * TESTING does not support incremental HELLO changes, hence will
10 be particularly troublesome with WLAN transport
11 * TRANSPORT ATS is not used for actual bandwidth assignment,
12 important options to make it truly useful are still missing
13 * VPN's service definitions may work, but are not secure
14 * NAT traversal partially works for TCP (ICMP-based method only)
15 * MESH does not work (mock API emulates for VPN)
16 * CHAT is experimental, has known bugs and was not reviewed yet
17 * FRAGMENTATION library is not implemented
18 * MONKEY is highly experimental
20 With this release we will finally start with
21 a detailed accounting of changes in the ChangeLog.
23 Thu Dec 23 23:33:05 CET 2010
24 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre2.
26 Thu Oct 7 20:51:05 CEST 2010
27 Removed dependency on GNU MP (GMP). The code now uses the libgcrypt MPI
30 Sat Jul 3 20:47:45 CEST 2010
31 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre1.
33 Wed Jun 23 16:34:38 CEST 2010
34 Added support for systemd-compatible passing of listen-sockets
35 by ARM to services as well as systemd compatibility for gnunet-service-arm
36 itself. At least for non-MINGW systems this should work.
38 Sat Jun 5 18:08:39 CEST 2010
39 Added support for UNIX domain sockets, code also defaults to
42 Sun May 2 13:49:10 CEST 2010
43 Fixed problem with platform-dependence of format for IP addresses
44 in HELLOs for TCP and UDP transport.
45 Reduced address length field in HELLOs to 16 bit (was 32 bit).
46 These changes break transport compatibility.
48 Fri Apr 16 18:19:05 CEST 2010
49 Nearly complete rewrite and new overall architecture. Many
50 features are still missing, but basic system seems to be
51 working again. Maybe time to again track major changes
52 in the ChangeLog. Releasing 0.9.0pre0.
55 Sun Feb 1 19:51:40 MST 2009
56 Fixed Mantis #1429 (struct padding could cause sizeof
57 to be different on AMD64, using gcc-ism "packed" to
60 Sun Feb 1 00:37:16 MST 2009
61 Fixed problem in DHT client protocol that could cause
62 PUT requests from clients to be (frequently) lost.
64 Sun Nov 2 16:06:47 MST 2008
65 Fixed problem with MySQL disconnects in one module
66 impacting MySQL correctness in another module (caused

71 Fixed expiration time of keywords
74 Sun Jul 20 15:27:11 MDT 2008
77 Thu Jul 10 00:59:31 MDT 2008
78 Fixed bug where datastore resizing would not
79 result in bloomfilter update during gnunet-update.
81 Sat Jun 28 23:43:00 MDT 2008
82 Fixed bug preventing namespace advertisements from
85 Sat Jun 14 00:54:39 MDT 2008
88 Fri Jun 13 23:51:00 MDT 2008
89 GNUnet now compiles on OpenBSD.
91 Wed Jun 11 22:17:09 MDT 2008
92 Made state of gnunet-auto-share persistent.
93 Added support for multiple directories. Improved
94 FSUI/ECRS APIs to reduce the number of threads needed
95 for probing. Increased number of concurrent probes
98 Sat Jun 7 17:54:49 MDT 2008
99 Simplified namespaces a lot. Shorter timeouts for
100 trying to connect to gnunetd to prevent interactive
101 apps from blocking too long when gnunetd is not
104 Sun Jun 1 21:11:54 MDT 2008
107 Sun Jun 1 13:41:27 MDT 2008
108 Split of libgnunetpseudonym from libgnunetnamespace
109 (with major API extension and changes).
111 Tue May 6 04:10:02 MDT 2008
112 Added simple sanity check for [MODULES] values.
113 Added "-s" and "-q" options to gnunet-peer-info.
115 Thu Apr 24 00:05:17 MDT 2008
116 Simplified FSUI stop/abort/pause/resume API calls
117 (no need to pass FSUI context anymore).
119 Mon Apr 21 21:05:20 MDT 2008
120 Adding buffered IO for FSUI's serialize and
123 Sun Apr 20 20:01:20 MDT 2008
124 Fixed bug in HTTP transport causing lonely messages
125 (responses to GET) not to be delivered.
127 Mon Mar 24 21:15:36 MDT 2008
128 Fixed various problems with downloading locally
129 indexed large files (downloading large files from
130 other peers should not have been a problem).
132 Sun Mar 2 15:33:41 MST 2008
133 Added option to allow user to disable IPv6 support.
136 Sat Mar 1 21:14:02 MST 2008
137 Fixed some dstore performance issues.
138 Made transports alternate between trying IPv4 and IPv6
139 if both are available (since one of them maybe
142 Mon Feb 25 23:25:48 MST 2008
143 Cleanup of the DNS code: removed GNUNET_IPvXAddress
144 and GNUNET_PRIP; centralized all DNS lookup code in
145 util/network/dns.c; improved IPv6 support for
148 Mon Feb 25 00:01:27 MST 2008
149 Added asynchronous search and download methods for
150 ECRS library. FSUI now can do with only one thread
151 per search or download (until now, we had two
152 threads per search / download).
154 Tue Feb 19 20:35:28 MST 2008
155 Updated database schemata to support O(1) operations
156 even if there are N files under the same keywords.
157 This breaks database backwards compatibility (and
158 no migration code is provided).
160 Mon Feb 18 19:47:37 MST 2008
161 Added new options -u and -s to gnunet-insert.
163 Sat Feb 16 21:37:33 MST 2008
164 Implemented gnunet-auto-share for automatic
165 sharing of directories.
167 Thu Feb 14 01:02:32 MST 2008
168 Made HTTP transport work over IPv6 as well.
170 Wed Feb 13 22:59:07 MST 2008
171 Modified mySQL and SQLite datastores to return diverse
172 result sets during (partial) hash-based get iterations
173 (should result in more diverse keyword result sets).
175 Tue Feb 12 23:54:34 MST 2008
176 First shot at integrated hostlist HTTP server based
179 Sat Feb 9 22:06:23 MST 2008
180 Minor changes to the ECRS/FSUI APIs for searches
181 (no more timeouts and/or max-results). Clients who
182 need these features could easily implement them
183 directly (and they are not really useful to begin
185 Also, the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are being integrated
186 so that we only listen to one port (running both IPv4
187 and IPv6 over the same port). This break transport
188 compatibility, but given that we're breaking protocol
189 compatibility for file-sharing already, this may
190 actually be a bit of a good thing (since it will now
191 be possible to tell if peers running the new GAP code
192 are connected to other peers running the new GAP code).
194 Sun Feb 3 13:17:09 MST 2008
195 Dramatic changes to the GAP implementation (breaking
196 protocol compatibility). Essentially, we can save
197 a few bytes in each reply. More importantly, the new
198 code allows the searching client to specify a set of
199 replies that are not desired (hopefully helping to
200 dramatically increase the diversity of search replies
201 obtained over time). Note that the actual encoding
202 and databases are not affected (just P2P protocol).
203 The update is not complete yet, but should compile.
205 Tue Jan 8 20:07:20 MST 2008
206 Added option for testing ("make check") to use weak(er)
207 PRNG for key generation (thanks to Werner Koch for
208 pointing out how to do it).
210 Thu Dec 22 20:10:37 MST 2007
211 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.3.
213 Sun Dec 9 14:34:32 MST 2007
214 Implemented MySQL version of the dstore-module. This
215 means that sqLite is now again truly optional.
217 Sat Dec 8 15:15:53 MST 2007
218 Integrated F2F topology into main topology module
219 (options are used to choose between F2F-only (old F2F),
220 minimum number of friend connections (NEW) or entirely
221 arbitrary connection set (default)).
223 Thu Dec 6 20:51:17 MST 2007
224 The SMTP transport is working again.
226 Thu Nov 22 20:49:16 MST 2007
227 United all libgnunetutil_*.so libraries into one big
228 libgnunetutil.so library (eliminates issues for binary
229 packagers and reduces file size by about 20%). Also
230 made sure that all exported symbols start with "GNUNET_".
232 Sat Sep 29 16:48:24 MDT 2007
233 Improved MySQL sqstore module performance.
234 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2c.
236 Sat Sep 8 18:01:36 MDT 2007
237 HTTP transport seems finally ready.
239 Sat Aug 25 23:58:21 MDT 2007

242 Mon Jul 30 00:07:44 MDT 2007
243 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2b.
245 Sun Jul 29 01:53:32 MDT 2007
248 Sat Jul 21 23:42:11 MDT 2007
249 Radical changes to MySQL implementation (trying to
250 address certain scalability issues).
252 Sat Jul 7 00:22:47 MDT 2007
253 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2a.
255 Fri Jul 6 22:54:52 MDT 2007
256 Fixed bugs in F2F topology code. Eliminated a few
257 confusing LOG messages.
259 Sun Jul 1 20:35:00 MDT 2007
260 Fixed issue with too many TCP connections being
261 created. Reduced CPU overheads by increasing
262 requirements for grouping of messages. Improved
263 various error messages.
265 Sat Jun 30 01:55:34 MDT 2007
266 Improved bloomfilter recomputation after quota change.
267 Fixed bloomfilter size computation. You must run
268 gnunet-update (will take a while).
270 Fri Jun 29 00:56:03 MDT 2007
271 Avoid re-connecting shortly after connection was shutdown.
273 Thu Jun 28 01:10:01 MDT 2007
274 Fixed high-latency problems for certain SQLite operations.
275 Also improved SQLite performance (but not scalability) a
276 bit. Resolved MySQL disconnect crash (gnunetd would crash
277 if mysqld was stopped).
279 Sat Jun 23 16:56:03 MDT 2007
280 Improved CPU consumption from content migration code
281 by querying the DB less often, using the same content
282 for more peers (at the expense of 1 MB extra memory
283 utilization). Fixed a deadlock.
285 Wed Jun 20 17:10:38 MDT 2007
286 Fixed bug in MySQL module.
288 Sun Jun 17 00:09:13 MDT 2007
289 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2.
291 Sat Jun 16 04:43:20 MDT 2007
292 http transport is amost back, now needing the
293 new libmicrohttpd. However, the code is still
294 highly experimental and not ready for production
297 Fri Jun 8 23:44:01 MDT 2007
298 Fixed bugs preventing namespace search from
299 working. Also extended testcase to cover
302 Tue May 29 23:15:27 MDT 2007
303 Fixed a major bug which resulted in peers without
304 traffic between them disconnecting (even if that
305 session was their only connection).
306 Fixed another major bug where nodes would not
307 properly forward HELLOs from other peers (given
308 certain common/default configuration options).
310 Sun May 27 22:39:48 MDT 2007
311 Added new API gnunet_testing_lib.h to make it
312 easier to write testcases that need to start
313 gnunetd. API is now used everywhere and the
314 ugly peer.conf files and directories are gone.
315 Fixed a bug with inserting empty directories.
316 Extended ECRS API to allow partial file download.
318 Sat May 26 18:24:15 MDT 2007
319 Fixed bugs with testcases (changes in names and
320 structure of options were not reflected in .conf
321 files for various testcases).
322 Fixed issues with command-line option handling (failed to
323 override configuration file options).
324 Fixed bogus nesting in GAP routing algorithm (caused
325 random request drops).
327 Fri May 25 12:23:38 MDT 2007
328 Finished extended URITRACK API.
329 Renamed various (minor) libraries and function calls to
330 get somewhat more consistent naming conventions.
332 Sun Apr 15 22:15:37 MDT 2007
333 Implemented heuristic for better packing of gnunet-directories.
335 Sun Mar 25 13:47:08 MDT 2007
336 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1c.
338 Wed Feb 28 15:29:05 MST 2007
339 Enabled abortion of gnunet-peer-info with CTRL-C.

364 Improving support for multiple choice configuration items
367 Sat Jan 27 16:02:02 MST 2007
368 Changing $-expansion for interpretation of configuration file
369 (again). Also, now the base-path for gnunetd defaults to
370 "/var/lib/gnunet" instead of "/var/lib/GNUnet".
372 Tue Jan 23 19:48:37 MST 2007
373 Fixed problem with split-extractor keywords not being used
376 Tue Jan 16 21:43:26 MST 2007
377 Expanded transport APIs to avoid building messages for
378 transmission just to have them rejected by blocking TCPs
379 with full transmission queues (happened quite a bit).
381 Mon Jan 8 22:21:15 MST 2007
382 Making computation of send buffer permuations more
383 efficient (in terms of calling weak_randomi) by only
384 computing permuations over the actually selected messages.
386 Mon Jan 8 21:34:02 MST 2007
387 Forcing -O3 for crypto library (performance critical).
388 Enforcing message queue limit for daemon (somehow got lost
389 on the way to 0.7.1, was responsible for high CPU load).
390 Fixing cron job deletion in core (clean shutdown).
392 Sun Dec 31 23:56:31 MST 2006
393 ncurses may need "-lm" in order to link.
394 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1a.
396 Sat Dec 30 00:21:49 MST 2006
397 DHT routing now seems to work (not integrated with file-sharing,
398 only for gnunet-dht-query).
400 Fri Dec 29 09:38:53 MST 2006
401 Added UPnP support to GNUnet (IPv4 only, #843).
403 Thu Dec 28 21:22:10 MST 2006
404 Hostname resolution with gnunet-peer-info implemented (#1076).
405 Proper linking of gnunet-pseudonym (#1161).

468 Added conversion of ECRS error messages to FSUI
469 error event messages.
471 Sun Nov 19 00:20:14 MST 2006

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

481 Fixed MySQL database size underreporting.
483 Wed Nov 1 13:09:53 MST 2006
484 Fixed some problems with index creation in sqlite
485 datastore (discovered with new sqlite benchmarking
486 code). Performance should improve significantly
487 (observed was a factor of 4-10 depending on
488 database size and operation).
490 Thu Oct 19 23:44:24 MDT 2006
491 Completed huge update to FSUI API (not fully debugged).
492 Major changes include:
493 * clients can associate pointer with each action
494 * abort methods can cancel action (but do not stop everything)
495 * upload and unindex operations can now be suspended and resumed
496 * cleaned up naming conventions
498 Thu Sep 14 23:44:17 MDT 2006
499 Breaking UDP transport protocol compatibility -- some
500 fields have to be switched around to make it work with
501 the new select code. Expect to see some warnings when
502 interacting with 0.7.0 peers.
504 Tue Sep 5 21:28:25 PDT 2006
505 Switched ncurses interface of gnunet-setup to use
506 external dialog library (new dependency!).
508 Fri Aug 18 00:01:37 PDT 2006
509 Swiched http bootstrap mechanism to using libcurl
512 Sat May 20 08:37:02 PDT 2006
513 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0e.
515 Sun May 14 02:51:15 PDT 2006

519 Made headers more C++ friendly.
521 Wed May 10 22:11:17 PDT 2006

523 found by Luigi Auriemma (thanks!).
525 Sat May 6 00:17:59 PDT 2006
526 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0d.
528 Fri May 5 01:33:42 PDT 2006

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

588 Updated German translation.
590 Tue Aug 23 00:45:57 PDT 2005
591 Fixed undersynchronization that may result in segv if pending
592 download was cancelled.
594 Mon Aug 22 00:37:11 PDT 2005
595 Made "UPDATE" use a prepared statement in MySQL datastore.
597 Sun Aug 21 23:08:57 PDT 2005
598 Fixed bugs causing unnecessary long delays for downloads from
599 loopback. Also now bypassing routing table for loopback download
600 (faster, avoids pollution of the routing table when not needed).
602 Sun Aug 21 18:42:14 PDT 2005
603 Fixed memory leak in gnunet-insert -R. Improved memory utilization
604 by SQlite dramatically (see discussion on gnunet-developers).
606 Sat Aug 20 21:04:28 PDT 2005
607 Fixed (rare) segmentation fault in insertion code.
609 Sat Aug 20 19:31:10 PDT 2005
610 Yet another tiny bug -- but one that hangs gnunetd; fixed in pre6a.
612 Sat Aug 20 13:51:01 PDT 2005
615 Sat Aug 20 12:51:27 PDT 2005
616 Changed sqlite data format to avoid encoding-decoding
617 (breaks compatibility with previous datastores, in particular
618 since conversion code is NOT provided).
619 The page size was also increased, rendering the database files
622 Thu Aug 18 21:18:28 PDT 2005
623 Made quotations match GNU standards.
625 Wed Aug 17 20:05:19 PDT 2005
626 Fixed bug that would prevent P2P messages from being
627 transmitted under certain (common) circumstances.
629 Mon Aug 15 00:08:47 PDT 2005
630 Bugfest. Fixed various bugs in MySQL, fragmentation,
631 core and fs (see Mantis for more details).
633 Mon Jul 18 01:03:05 CEST 2005
634 Alpha-rename fest. Releasing 0.7.0pre5.
636 Sun Jul 17 13:49:40 CEST 2005

638 AMDs. Fixed recently introduced memory leak.
639 Fixed various compiler warnings.
641 Sat Jul 16 23:55:31 CEST 2005
642 Fixed various minor problems with platforms
643 without gettext/NLS support and for 64-bit size_ts.
644 Also fixed a couple of other compiler warnings.
645 Cleaned up connection.c code.
647 Mon Jul 11 14:41:18 CEST 2005
648 Fixed tiny memory leak in http_bootstrap.
650 Mon Jul 11 02:22:24 CEST 2005
651 Fixed long-standing problems in statuscalls wrt
652 network load estimates, leading to too-high bandwidth
653 consumption on average. Fixed minor memory leaks.
654 Fixed far too often session-key exchange (was done
655 also for sessions that were already up).
657 Thu Jul 7 15:22:21 CEST 2005
658 Fixed bug in identity, missing ntohs for protocol ID.
659 Fixed bug in topology, wrong calculation of saturation.
661 Wed Jul 6 22:34:30 CEST 2005
662 Fixed bugs in core with respect to possible infinite
663 recursion caused by fragmentation callbacks. Also
664 differenciated between fatal transport sends and
665 transient transport sends. Cleanup of some APIs.
667 Sat Jul 2 17:21:07 CEST 2005
668 Fixed bugs in gnunet-pseudonym (listing of namespaces),
669 FSUI (double-free for namespace creation), cleaned up
670 APIs and implemented clearing of completed downloads
671 (FSUI). Releasing 0.7.0pre4.
673 Fri Jul 1 15:08:42 CEST 2005
674 Added statistics for transports and other connection-
675 related functions. Prevented core from dropping
676 messages just because transport is (temporarily)
677 blocked. Made transport selection in identity random
678 again where necessary.
680 Thu Jun 30 20:05:15 CEST 2005
681 Added cache for KBlocks (can speed up insertion speed
682 for recursive inserts quite a bit).
684 Thu Jun 30 13:52:17 CEST 2005
685 Enabled IPv6 by default. Fixed various minor bugs.
687 Tue Jun 28 13:41:58 UTC 2005
688 Fixed various open FIXMEs, including error handling,
689 bad performance and some memory leaks (gnunet-tools
690 only, not in gnunetd).
692 Mon Jun 27 17:21:09 CEST 2005
693 Fixed double-free segfault.
694 Fixed problem with session timeout not happening.
695 Fixed issue with too lazy slot reclaim for reconnect.
696 Made reconnect scanning more incremental (1/10th of
697 the work every 500ms instead of full work every 5s).
698 Fixed memory leak in advertisement processing.
700 Sun Jun 26 18:21:17 CEST 2005
701 Plenty of bugfixes everywhere, gnunet-setup works
702 now. Releasing 0.7.0pre3.
704 Sat Jun 11 11:25:24 EST 2005
705 Fixed various problems with recursive upload
706 (thread stack size too small, wrong filenames
707 passed around, wrong list of filenames updated).
709 Sat Apr 2 01:54:23 EST 2005
710 Various bugfixes, some of them critical (segfaults,
711 protocol errors (resulting in failures to connect),
712 old version of configuration file would be
713 generated if configuration was missing,
714 gnunet-insert would not properly work with multiple
715 keywords (-k and -K options)). Releasing 0.7.0pre2.
717 Thu Mar 31 21:38:06 EST 2005
720 Tue Mar 8 14:45:55 EST 2005
721 OpenSSL cannot fully support SHA-512. Eliminated as an
722 option (not necessary, GPL incompatible, trouble, work
723 to maintain -- in summary: not worth it).
725 Sat Mar 5 00:33:51 EST 2005
726 Changing hash algorithm to SHA-512.
727 Changing symcipher algorithm to AES-256.
729 Sun Feb 27 21:59:31 EST 2005
730 All unit testcases pass. Releasing 0.7.0pre0.
732 Sat Feb 12 17:35:08 EST 2005
733 Fixed mysql-test. Changed MySQL to use prepared statements,
734 avoids conversion (mysql_escape_string) and is faster on the
737 Wed Dec 15 20:47:40 EST 2004
738 Removed support for password encryption of namespace keys.
739 Hardly used and adds hardly any security. Encrypt /home if
740 you need this, would be more effective anyway.
742 Fri Nov 26 06:27:12 EST 2004
743 Sessionkey exchange works now, at least with OpenSSL. There
744 seems to be some quirk in some version of libcrypt with
745 respect to RSA encryption. Anyway, it is a heisenbug (sometimes
746 RSA decryption does not result in what was originally
747 encrypted), but I have the feeling this problem existed
748 already in 0.6.5 -- and it is now detected and does not
751 Tue Nov 23 02:35:50 EST 2004
752 The CVS may look like it's compiling, but that's just because
753 most of the service modules are not even attempted.
754 And without those, nothing will work. But in good news,
755 util, transport and server do compile now.
757 Sun Nov 21 03:53:22 EST 2004
758 Starting to make incompatible changes. Once this is commited
759 to CVS (which will only happen once at least some parts compile
760 again), this version will no longer be compatible with any
761 previously released version of GNUnet (and highly experimental).
762 Do not yet use the new code on-line, do not expect it to work
765 Sun Nov 14 16:49:02 EST 2004
766 Debugged collections, seems to work (not that it looks pretty,
767 but it basically works, the rest is UI work). Fixed deadlock
768 in gnunet-gtk logging. Releasing GNUnet 0.6.5.
770 Thu Nov 4 09:04:48 EST 2004
771 Added (highly experimental) support for collections.
773 Sat Sep 25 22:29:48 EST 2004
774 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4a.
776 Sun Sep 19 23:39:04 EST 2004
777 Various code cleanups and minor bugfixes.
779 Sun Aug 29 15:11:28 IST 2004
780 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4.
782 Tue Aug 24 20:59:14 IST 2004
783 Significant enhancements to namespaces. A namespace can
784 now be annotated with meta-data at the time that it is
787 Sat Aug 21 01:00:06 IST 2004
788 Adding GNU gettext support to configure.
790 Thu Aug 19 01:26:55 IST 2004
791 Migrating gnunet-gtk to GTK 2.0 (tested with 2.4).
793 Mon Aug 16 00:30:59 IST 2004
794 Removed gcry. Added dependency on GNU MP library (libgmp)
797 Tue Aug 3 17:57:43 IST 2004
798 Fixed bugs in gnunet-update. Fixed segfault in AFS startup.
799 Fixed warnings in gnunet-peer-info/gnunetd. Fixed packaging
800 error (not all of util/gcry included in distribution).
801 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3a.
803 Mon Aug 2 20:06:07 IST 2004
804 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3.
806 Sun Aug 1 01:31:19 IST 2004
807 Changed most places from HexName to the new, shorter EncName.
808 Pushed URIs for namespaces and keyword searches into more
809 widespread use. Replaced all occurences of sprintf with
810 SNPRINTF (to obtain extra bounds check).
812 Sun Jul 11 13:54:01 IST 2004
813 Moved testcases for libgnunet_util to util/ directory.
814 Made DB testcases in afs/module/ run for each available
815 database and not just the one configured in /etc/gnunet.conf.
817 Fri Jun 25 21:05:59 IST 2004
818 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2b (resolves various minor bugs).
820 Wed May 5 17:34:39 EST 2004
821 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2a (resolves libgcrypt and packageing
822 issues, improved gtk-statistics, other minor bugfixes).
824 Fri Apr 30 21:36:23 EST 2004
825 Fixed synchronization problem in cron (only relevant for
826 parallel downloading). Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2.
828 Mon Apr 26 21:13:45 EST 2004
829 Added support to gnunet-check to convert file index database
830 to new design. Removed support for pre 0.6.1b bloomfilter
831 conversion (would have been too messy to support both).
832 Added old-version check to gnunetd startup to make updates
833 more systematic in the future (not perfect, though).
835 Mon Apr 26 19:27:29 EST 2004
836 Recursive insertion of directories with gnunet-gtk
837 now works including the progress bar.
839 Sun Apr 25 18:24:55 EST 2004
840 Global changes to fix bug #698. The fix is still
841 incomplete with respect to pthread.h specific structs.
843 Sun Apr 25 15:20:29 EST 2004
844 Fixed compile error in IPv6 transports.
846 Fri Apr 23 23:38:01 EST 2004
847 Added recursive insertion of directories to gnunet-gtk.
848 Progress-bar does not work yet, also libextractor is
849 always used (no option to turn it off).
851 Fri Apr 23 21:49:18 EST 2004
852 Removed need to specify _protocol in configuration file
855 Wed Apr 21 23:32:36 EST 2004
856 Added code to bound priority used by clients by twice the
857 average priority of requests from other peers that are
858 routed at the moment. That prevents clients from exposing
859 themselves with excessively high priorities (and also
860 avoids giving too much credit/trust needlessly).
862 Tue Apr 20 22:27:19 EST 2004
863 Added possibility of using a link instead of making a copy
864 if gnunetd and the insert-client both run on the same machine.
866 Tue Apr 20 00:00:58 EST 2004
867 Added network transparency for indexing files (by copying
868 them to a GNUnet(d) specific directory). This breaks
869 unindexing (for files indexed with previous versions) and
870 forces the user to make a copy of the file. In the near
871 future we should resolve this problem by allowing the use
874 Sun Apr 18 17:24:34 EST 2004
875 Adding recursive, parallel download of directories to
878 Sun Apr 18 01:57:32 EST 2004
879 gnunet-transport-check can now be used to check
880 external connectivity (with other peers).
882 Sat Apr 17 17:46:19 EST 2004
883 Reduced memory consuption for AFS insertion and
886 Sat Apr 10 21:17:46 EST 2004
887 Implemented statistics-plot in gnunet-gtk based on
888 gnome-system-monitor code.
890 Fri Apr 9 22:01:51 EST 2004
891 Added support for libextractor > 0.2.7.
893 Fri Apr 9 0:29:20 EST 2004
894 Completed --help conversion.
896 Wed Mar 31 15:40:51 EST 2004
899 Tue Mar 30 22:42:13 EST 2004
900 Integrated gnunet-pseudonym-create, -delete and -list into
901 gnunet-pseudonym as well as gnunet-directory-list, -emptydb
902 and -print into gnunet-directory.
904 Tue Mar 2 10:46:01 EST 2004
905 Fixing bug preventing download for indexed files <= 1k.
907 Sat Feb 28 03:43:34 EST 2004
910 Sat Feb 21 06:16:47 EST 2004
911 Modified requestmanager to improve performance at the end of the
914 Thu Feb 19 00:48:33 EST 2004
915 Fixed integer underflow possibly causing slow download performance.
917 Sun Feb 15 15:17:05 EST 2004
918 Fixed weak key failures with libgcrypt.
920 Sun Feb 15 13:14:44 EST 2004
921 New routing code (untested) commited.
923 Sun Feb 15 11:58:10 EST 2004
924 Fixing problem with 64-bit size_t on alpha (#655).
926 Sat Jan 31 04:32:33 EST 2004
929 Fri Jan 23 00:00:09 EST 2004
930 Fixed indexed content being overwritten by migrated content
932 Thu Jan 22 19:27:33 EST 2004
933 Fixed integer-overflow problems in statuscalls.
934 Fixed missing ttl/priority adjustment for NS-Queries.
935 Fixed bug in routing that would let very old queries survive.
937 Thu Jan 15 23:14:54 EST 2004
938 Fixed size of super-bloomfilter (was factor of 32 to small).
939 Fixed option -r of gnunet-check (would not increment bloom filters
940 to appropriate value).
942 Wed Dec 31 17:07:40 EST 2003
943 Fixed various routing and bandwidth allocation problems.
946 Wed Dec 24 00:00:00 EST 2003
949 Fri Dec 19 00:57:29 EST 2003
950 NAT transport passes tests.
952 Sat Dec 13 00:16:41 EST 2003
955 Thu Oct 16 19:20:29 EST 2003
956 Added greedy knapsack heuristic for use by CPU-overloaded
959 Mon Oct 13 22:36:45 EST 2003
960 Improved gnunet-gtk code that forks of gnunetd (some extra checking,
961 use fork-exec instead of system(), pass configuration file as
964 Sun Oct 12 03:42:55 EST 2003
965 Split bandwidth montoring into up and downstream.
966 Why stop sending replies merely because we *receive* traffic!?
967 Also reduced frequency of HELO exchange.
968 Added more statistics (traffic by type).
970 Fri Oct 10 02:05:13 EST 2003
971 Fixed bug that wasted a lot of CPU time.
972 Better CPU usage control by making knapsack
973 solving (frequency and problem size) dependent
976 Thu Oct 9 14:29:35 EST 2003
979 Sun Oct 5 21:35:23 EST 2003
980 GNUnet 0.6.0 released.
982 Sat Oct 4 12:54:55 EST 2003
983 Fixed bug in timer code (discovered in testcase).
984 Added extensive testcases for platform dependent code.
986 Fri Sep 19 01:38:00 EST 2003
987 Added code to allow namespace queries to return multiple
988 results. Updates are now displayed in separate tabs.
990 Wed Sep 17 23:54:15 EST 2003
991 Migrated libgcrypt code in util to comply with
992 libgcrypt 1.1.43 (and it passes the tests just fine)
994 Wed Sep 17 22:59:16 EST 2003
995 Fixed problems with updates in namespaces in the GTK code.
996 Added boolean search capability (x AND y) to GTK search.
997 Made namespace search frequency respect TTL delays.
999 Thu Aug 21 19:42:57 EST 2003
1000 GNUnet 0.5.5 released.
1002 Tue Aug 12 20:48:39 EST 2003
1003 Support for namespaces with updates is there,
1004 but requires testing.
1006 Sun Jul 27 14:48:19 EST 2003
1007 Added download summary window to gnunet-gtk.
1009 Fri Jul 25 14:15:37 CET 2003
1010 Unioned gnunet-insert-multi and gnunet-insert-sblock
1013 Thu Jun 26 23:22:12 EST 2003
1014 Added draft support for directories.
1016 Thu Jun 26 23:21:41 EST 2003
1017 GNUnet 0.5.4a released
1019 Sat Jun 14 19:21:41 EST 2003
1020 Added support for HTTP-PROXY to download the hostlist.
1022 Wed May 29 01:13:15 EST 2003
1023 Fixing some ugly bugs in connection.c that caused
1024 permanent connection-drop and connection-establish
1025 cycles (every 5 minutes).
1027 Sat May 24 03:12:42 EST 2003
1028 Migrated subset of libgcrypt into GNUnet tree to use
1029 it instead of OpenSSL or libgcrypt. RSA in the new
1030 code is broken at the moment.
1032 Sun May 18 04:10:25 EST 2003
1033 GNUnet 0.5.4 released.
1035 Sat May 10 21:39:35 EST 2003
1036 Only download hostlist after a while if we were
1037 not able to connect (to reduce load on hostlist
1040 Fri May 2 23:20:15 EST 2003
1041 Added code to handle massive collisions in datastore
1042 (thousands of files under the same keyword).
1044 Sun Apr 27 23:52:12 EST 2003
1045 GNUnet 0.5.3 released.
1047 Wed Apr 23 03:20:21 EST 2003
1048 Build system cleanup, location of mysql, gdbm, tdb and
1049 db can now be specified.
1051 Mon Apr 21 01:54:24 EST 2003
1052 Made random content selection with pIdx faster
1053 (do not read entire pidx files) and fully random
1054 (added code to weigh pidx files by number of entries).
1056 Sun Apr 20 23:25:45 EST 2003
1057 Fixed double-free in TCP transport code (seems to have
1058 only had a real chance to occur under BSD in practice).
1060 Sat Apr 19 14:42:37 EST 2003
1061 Replaced use of dlopen for plugins with the more
1062 portable ltdl from libtool.
1064 Thu Apr 17 20:36:42 EST 2003
1065 Added synchronization to pIdx, also use truncate
1066 to remove last n entries instead of re-writing the
1067 entire file (much, much faster).
1069 Mon Apr 7 00:00:07 EST 2003
1070 Implemented gnunet-delete.
1072 Sat Apr 5 15:55:31 EST 2003
1073 Made directory database use 256 sub-directories
1074 (should increase speed a lot, with the new DB
1075 manager, this will result in at most 2048
1076 files per directory).
1078 Mon Mar 31 16:51:24 EST 2003
1079 gnunet-convert and gnunet-check compile again
1080 with the new DB code.
1082 Sun Mar 30 13:14:52 CET 2003
1083 Added BSD DB (libdb) support.
1085 Sun Mar 23 04:04:38 EST 2003
1086 Big gnunet-gtk cleanup.
1088 Tue Mar 18 01:52:18 EST 2003
1091 Sun Mar 16 20:24:24 EST 2003
1092 Caching of RSA signatures for HELOs reduced CPU
1093 usage dramatically, from an average of 31% to less
1094 than 5% on my machine.
1096 Sun Mar 16 01:21:16 EST 2003
1097 Fixed locking problem and problem with TCP transport
1098 (bad set of sockets in select).
1100 Sat Mar 15 03:02:42 EST 2003
1101 Fixed bug that copied wrong content (garbage) into
1102 replies for other peers. This one was introduced
1103 briefly before 0.5.2. Argh.
1105 Fri Feb 28 00:23:02 EST 2003
1106 Fixed segfault in gnunet-gtk when closing search
1109 Thu Feb 27 16:23:20 EST 2003
1110 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.2.
1112 Mon Feb 24 00:28:52 EST 2003
1113 Cleaning up the AFS routing code, also some tweaks
1114 to improve anonymity against an active attacker.
1116 Thu Feb 20 23:51:30 EST 2003
1117 gnunet-tracekit works now nicely (and with dot).
1118 Also, GNUnet now attempts to locate a configuration
1119 file in /etc/gnunet.conf if ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf
1120 does not exist (and nothing is specified on the
1123 Wed Feb 12 23:21:44 EST 2003
1124 Fixed deadlock between pingpong and connection
1127 Tue Feb 4 13:22:09 EST 2003
1128 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.1(a).
1130 Tue Feb 4 04:05:58 EST 2003
1131 RSA encryption of OpenSSL has been changed to pure
1132 PKCS #1 to achieve compatibility with libgcrypt.
1134 Mon Feb 3 18:46:54 EST 2003
1135 RSA signature encoding has been changed from raw
1136 to PKCS #1 compatible encoding. This should help
1137 making the migration to libgcrypt easier in the
1138 future. RSA & libgcrypt are still not friends,
1139 but the GNUnet code should be mostly there.
1141 Fri Jan 31 10:40:01 EST 2003
1142 gnunet-peer-info tool was added. This tool can
1143 prints information about all known peers and may
1144 be useful for diagnostics.
1146 Mon Jan 20 17:54:51 EST 2003
1147 A large number of memory leaks got fixed thanks
1148 to the new automated scripts to find them.
1150 Thu Jan 16 00:49:20 EST 2003
1151 Nearly finished removing dependencies on OpenSSL
1152 (using libgcrypt instead), $FOO-expansion in
1153 configuration parsing and RSA (public key crypto)
1154 are the only missing pieces.
1156 Mon Jan 13 01:53:45 EST 2003
1157 Fixed deadlock in gnunetd (would stop processing
1160 Sun Dec 27 13:34:11 CET 2002
1161 Fixed segmentation fault that occured when number
1162 of known peers goes over 128.
1164 Sat Dec 21 16:27:11 CET 2002
1165 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.0.
1167 Sat Dec 14 03:47:05 CET 2002
1168 Bugfixes over bugfixes. Various memory leaks
1169 from gnunetd to gnunet-download, problems
1170 with bloomfilters and gnunet-check, enforcing
1171 storage limitations set by the user, fixes
1172 in the UDP, TCP and SMTP transports;
1173 better thread termination (avoid asynchronous
1174 cancellation). Not to mention the new
1175 tools gnunet-transport-check and gnunet-tbench
1176 for the evaulation of correctness and performance
1177 of the transport services.
1179 Wed Nov 6 22:49:24 EST 2002
1180 Added load smoothing for network and CPU load
1181 such that we quickly adapt to increasing load,
1182 but slowly reduce the (effective) load value
1183 used in the policy if the load drops. This should
1184 help avoiding 0-1 policies where we always jump
1185 up and down between 100% load and no load, letting
1186 in one period all traffic through and in the next
1189 Wed Nov 6 00:31:39 EST 2002
1190 Added port==0 for UDP and TCP transport as an
1191 option to indicate that the transport is to be
1192 used only to establish connections to other
1193 peers but not as a server-socket (that is,
1194 if the port is 0, other GNUnet peers can not
1195 connect to the local node's UDP or TCP port,
1196 but the local node can still use UDP
1197 (unidirectional) or TCP (even bi-directional)
1198 to talk to other peers. This is useful if a
1199 node is behind a NAT box and can not receive
1200 inbound traffic but is able to send messages to
1201 other peers (and in the case of TCP even receive
1202 messages if the local peer initiated the
1203 bi-directional connection). Currently, a peer
1204 must always provide at least one transport under
1205 which the peer can be "actively" reached since
1206 otherwise other peers will not keep the public
1207 key of that peer and thus not be able to
1208 complete the session key exchange. For NAT-box
1209 peers, SMTP might be a viable choice for that
1212 Fri Oct 11 02:16:42 EST 2002
1213 Added bloomfilter interface and calls to the BF from
1214 the AFS service implementation. Missing for working
1215 bloomfilter are calls from gnunet-insert to update
1216 the bloom-filter (top-CHK and super-queries) and the
1217 actual bloom-filter implementation.
1219 Tue Oct 8 20:35:45 EST 2002
1220 TCP transport now works with only one thread (using
1221 select) instead of one thread per peer-connection.
1223 Fri Sep 27 02:24:52 EST 2002
1224 New content encoding (still only 1k blocks, but with
1225 CHK style IBocks and GBlocks for aggressive content
1226 migration) now seems to work.
1228 Mon Sep 16 01:57:55 EST 2002
1229 Implemented gnunet-chat, a demo-application for
1230 how to develop p2p applications on top of GNUnet.
1232 Sun Sep 15 22:48:28 EST 2002
1233 Fixing (long standing) problem with segfaults under BSD
1234 due to stack overflow in threads.
1236 Sun Sep 15 02:04:52 EST 2002
1237 TCP transport layer implementation seems to work now.
1238 gnunet.conf is now documented on the web. HELO exchange
1239 is fixed, so is the CS-connection whitelisting.
1241 Fri Sep 13 00:51:01 EST 2002
1242 Update on the progress towards 0.4.9. What is missing?
1243 * new content encoding to facilitate:
1245 - discriminated routing (downloads vs. searches)
1246 - variable blocksize (?)
1247 - self-synchronizing stream encoding (?)
1248 * additional transport layers (SMTP, TCP, HTTP)
1249 * demo application (chat) for how to use the API
1250 * documentation on new gnunet.conf
1252 - Igor reports, HELO exchange is broken
1253 - David reports, CS-connection whitelisting is broken
1254 - rpm.spec is outdated (add GNUnet's dynamic libraries)
1256 What has been resolved so far:
1258 * transport and application layer have been abstracted
1259 * dynamic loading of transports and applications is
1261 * routing much faster since slots are freed earlier
1262 * querymanager is more intelligent in where to send
1263 queries (presumably, not tested)
1266 * configuration can store options from commandline
1267 * statistics is totally dynamic and can be extended
1268 * connection buffer does callbacks on applications to
1269 fill buffers with queries instead of noise, and
1270 the querymanager makes use of this
1274 * gnettypes.h is gone
1275 * AFS specific code is all in AFS
1276 * renaming is also done
1278 Sun Aug 25 15:30:56 EST 2002
1279 Moving work towards 0.4.9 to CVS. The major goals are:
1280 * independent transport layer (UDP, TCP, SMTP, HTTP,
1281 any of these should be possible in the future); also,
1282 the MTU may be defined differently by any one of them.
1283 * independent application layer. Anonymous File Sharing
1284 (AFS) should just be one application for the GNUnet
1287 Other minor goals and refactorings include:
1288 * configuration - we should be able to update dynamically
1289 options from the gnunet.conf file. E.g. by adding options
1290 from the command line
1291 * statistics - we should not have a hardwired fixed set
1292 of datapoints, the statistics module should be useful
1293 for any kind of statistics
1294 * noise reduction - the connection buffer should allow
1295 the use of intelligent applications that get notified
1296 if noise would be send and then can plug in useful data
1298 And then there is just moving stuff:
1299 * move "common/" to where it belongs (either applications
1301 * gnettypes is bad if we want to seperate app specifcs
1302 and core. The typedefs should be placed where they are
1304 * database does not belong in util, it's AFS specific
1305 * AFS: cleaner separation between database, encoding,
1306 protocol implementation, shell-tools and GUI code.
1308 And finally, renaming:
1309 * if we have TCP for peer-to-peer communications,
1310 we can't use "TCP" vs. "UDP" to distinguish p2p from
1311 client-server, thus: "UDP" becomes "p2p" and "TCP"
1312 becomes "CS". At least where they were used to distinguish
1313 node-to-node and client-server (gnunetd).
1315 Sun Aug 25 15:02:31 EST 2002
1316 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.6.
1318 Thu Aug 22 01:31:21 EEST 2002
1319 gnunet-gtk should now be able to perform multiple
1320 search and download operations simultaneously (atleast a couple).
1322 Tue Aug 20 23:11:10 EEST 2002
1323 Fixed segfault in gnunet-search and gnunet-gtk which appeared
1324 when there was lots of results.
1325 Modified gnunetd to return more results at once if there
1326 is excess bandwidth.
1328 Sun Aug 18 23:57:10 EST 2002
1329 Reworked the lookup-database. The old database got
1330 into trouble storing data when it was 6% full. Some
1331 simulations show that the new approach should manage
1332 94% and should be about as fast (more CPU, presumably
1333 slightly fewer random disc accesses).
1334 This change is INCOMPATIBLE with 0.4.5. You *must*
1335 run "gnunet-check -a" before starting this new version
1336 of gnunetd in order to migrate to the new format. For
1337 database simulation and statistical numbers, see
1338 also src/historical/simula.c.
1340 Fri Aug 16 17:07:15 EST 2002
1341 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.5.
1343 Fri Aug 16 16:43:39 EST 2002
1344 Added feature that will allow the specification of
1345 multiple URLs for downloading the initial hostlist.
1347 Mon Aug 12 02:28:14 EST 2002
1348 Fixed big problem in requestmanager that would
1349 make downloads *very* slow for no good reason
1350 at all (ttl increment in wrong place would make
1351 us defer the next request for more than twice
1352 as long as needed, plus some other minor bugs).
1354 Mon Aug 12 01:31:03 EST 2002
1355 Fixed bug #347 (option "-H" to gnunet-clients for
1356 connecting to a remote gnunetd node).
1358 Mon Aug 12 01:10:17 EST 2002
1359 Fixed bug #348 (no more scan of the entire database
1360 on startup, instead the databases (gdbm, tdb) contain
1361 an entry that gives the nubmer of entries). Note that
1362 this is not done for contentdatabase_directory.
1364 Sun Aug 11 17:00:03 EEST 2002
1365 Crude file insertion capabilities added to gnunet-gtk gui.
1367 Thu Aug 8 19:13:34 EST 2002
1368 Added progress bar / printing of insertion status to
1369 gnunet-insert (option "-V").
1371 Thu Aug 8 19:02:33 EST 2002
1372 Cleaning up code (establishing sessions, etc.)
1374 Thu Aug 8 18:03:05 EST 2002
1375 Fixed bug #343 (overflow in stats) by moving to
1376 long long. Let's hope that __BYTE_ORDER is
1377 actually defined outside of netinet/in.h.
1379 Thu Aug 8 17:47:17 EST 2002
1380 Fixed gnunetd segfaulting if gnunet.conf is not
1381 available. Also, recvfrom returning -1 with
1382 errno == EAGAIN was fixed earlier.
1384 Wed Jul 31 23:38:36 EST 2002
1387 Wed Jul 31 21:35:53 EST 2002
1388 Fixed bug with TCP connection that would not
1389 free thread resources and eventually lead to
1390 gnunetd not being able to start new threads
1391 anymore (mantis: #339).
1393 Tue Jul 30 23:38:51 EST 2002
1394 Fixed SIGHUP exiting. The main loop was exiting
1395 because recvfrom returned -1 with errno EINTR,
1396 which caused us to break out of the main loop.
1397 Also added gnunetd.pid file to simplify killing
1398 (or re-reading configuration of) the server.
1399 You must specify the PIDFILE in gnunet.conf!
1401 Tue Jul 30 20:38:47 EST 2002
1402 Started writing code to enable re-reading of the
1403 configuration file whenever we receive a SIGHUP.
1404 Works, except that after we've read the new
1405 config file, gnunetd exits (unknown why).
1407 Mon Jul 29 18:52:23 EST 2002
1408 Added shutdown code that terminates connection when
1409 SIGTERM is received (to avoid keeping lots of UDP
1410 traffic for the next couple of minutes from hosts
1411 that still believe we're up).
1413 Sat Jul 27 12:39:47 EST 2002
1414 Added code to measure network load asymmetrically (useful
1417 Fri Jul 26 22:46:54 EST 2002
1420 Wed Jul 24 21:13:08 EST 2002
1421 Fixed bug in locking and segfault (Linux tolerated,
1422 BSD crashed, both in connection.c), added logging service.
1424 Tue Jul 23 00:41:17 EST 2002
1425 Made gnunetd fork like a nice deamon should. Also
1426 started to add a logging service.
1428 Sun Jul 21 20:39:20 EST 2002
1429 Fixed issue with check_database (index checking too
1430 strict if content is available in database and
1431 on-demand encoded; also a bounds check was missing).
1433 Sun Jul 21 16:05:20 EST 2002
1434 Fixed deadlock in heloexchange (knownhost requires
1437 Sun Jul 21 02:02:32 EST 2002
1438 Improved routing table. Now does more dynamic memory
1439 allocation, reducing the fixed-size per slot from 700
1440 to 56 bytes. Increased number of slots from 512 to
1441 8092 (which is the optimal number for a 56 kbps
1444 Sat Jul 20 23:57:06 EST 2002
1445 Fixed bug that caused problems for files
1446 that were indexed and that had spaces in
1449 Wed Jul 17 22:50:24 EST 2002
1450 Fixed bug that prohibited a transitive HELO exchange
1453 Wed Jul 17 01:48:44 EST 2002
1454 Fixed a couple of bugs in gnunet-check and the
1455 insertion-tools. Now gnunet-check seems to run like
1456 a charm. Running it to detect and fix problems in
1457 the GNUnet databases seems now recommendable :-).
1458 Note that you must stop gnunetd before running
1461 Mon Jul 15 22:27:45 EST 2002
1462 Added return values for insertion. If we run out of
1463 space (in particular for the fixed-size index
1464 database), we can now communicate the problem to the
1466 gnunet-check is now pretty much feature-complete,
1467 but it takes of course very, very long to run. There
1468 is now also a man-page for gnunet-check.
1470 Thu Jul 11 11:33:34 EST 2002
1471 Added randomized order of blocks for the download
1472 (patch by I. Wronsky).
1474 Thu Jun 20 21:13:21 EST 2002
1475 Added HANGUP, a message send if one side terminates the connection.
1476 Sending the message is optional, but it is nicer to have it. Also
1477 started on gnunet-check, a tool to check database consistency.
1479 Thu Jun 20 03:11:01 EST 2002
1480 Improved handling of collisions in the hashes in the
1481 lookup module (uses no longer a linear scan on the
1482 collisions file but a hashtable for the collisions!).
1484 Tue Jun 18 20:29:38 EST 2002
1485 Released GNUnet 0.4.2.
1487 Tue Jun 18 20:20:55 EST 2002
1488 Fixed bugs in blacklisting IPs. Added feature to allow specification
1489 which networks are trusted enough to connect to the trusted TCP
1490 port (TCP/2086 no longer needs to be firewalled!).
1492 Tue Jun 18 02:35:53 EST 2002
1493 Fixed problems with ttl (negative TTL queries were forwarded),
1494 also better flushing of buffers and fewer SKEY exchanges due to
1495 a now working implementation of the blacklist. A DNS lookup for
1496 the NAT-box-IP configuration was also added.
1498 Sun Jun 16 04:11:01 EST 2002
1499 Added code to provide statistics (gnunet-stats).
1502 Sun Jun 9 22:56:02 EST 2002
1503 Released GNUnet 0.4.1.
1505 Sat Jun 8 05:00:36 EST 2002
1506 Several small bugfixes (list of shared files not updated on
1507 insertion, highest-bit of trust not interpreted as dirty,
1508 rpm dependency on libextractor added.
1509 Also many improvments to the build process.
1511 Wed Jun 5 17:01:58 EST 2002
1512 Made sure that HELOs don't trigger Ping-Pong if we don't
1513 really learn anything new.
1515 Tue Jun 4 17:17:45 EST 2002
1516 The port numbers were not in network-byte order. Fixing
1517 this is trivial, but it breaks compatibility with 0.4.0.
1518 Thanks to Rick Kennell for reporting the endianess issue.
1520 Mon Jun 3 20:35:47 EST 2002
1521 Fixed bug with CRC not endian-converted in gnunet-gtk.
1522 Added mimetype and filename support to gnunet-gtk.
1524 Sun Jun 2 03:52:18 EST 2002
1527 Sat Jun 1 22:13:12 EST 2002
1528 Added three-way handshake for SKEY exchange. Not tested.
1530 Sat Jun 1 16:55:18 EST 2002
1531 Fixed potential DDoS problem where malicious hosts could
1532 trick GNUnet servers to repeatedly probe a non-partitipating host
1533 trying to establish a connection. I wonder how many other
1534 p2p systems are vulnerable. (Fix: after HELO, play PING-PONG).
1535 The endianess issues should be fixed throughout the system, but
1536 not tested on a real machine so far.
1538 Sat May 25 15:55:11 EST 2002
1539 Moved to new CVS server. First changes towards 0.4.0:
1541 * insert/index via TCP
1542 * bugfixes (mostly performance)
1544 Sat May 18 16:00:06 EST 2002
1545 Added mimetype, filename and version number to RootNodes
1546 (mostly incompatible change!). Added automatic generic keyword
1547 and mime-type extraction via libextractor to gnunet-insert.
1549 Tue May 14 23:59:40 EST 2002
1550 New storage database is starting to look good. We can now store
1551 the data in a directory (one file per block), a gdbm database,
1552 and presumably (not tested) in a tdb database.
1554 Sat May 11 22:10:56 EST 2002
1555 Completed, deployed and tested the new TCPIO code. This changes
1556 the gnunetd-client protocol. Essentially, we convert the TCP stream
1557 into records with a length and type header. This should allow us
1558 to fix bug #212 and add other features in the future. The current
1559 change is really only changing the core TCP code and not anything
1560 around it. We should deploy some demultiplexing code later.
1562 Tue May 7 20:56:40 EST 2002
1563 Added IP blacklisting (for virtual private networks).
1565 Sat May 4 14:08:23 EST 2002
1566 Fixed bug with bad insertion of files smaller than 1k.
1568 Fri May 3 23:25:16 EST 2002
1569 Added IP change detection (useful for dialup) [bug #272].
1570 Added code to ensure that a HELO is life instantly
1571 after receiving it, fixing the 'unknown host,
1572 refusing SKEY problem' (bug #273). Other minor
1573 bugfixes (#274, #283).
1575 Sun Apr 14 22:36:03 EST 2002
1576 Added option to allow NAT boxes not to exchange
1577 foreign HELOs and thus expose the private
1578 network. Fixed bug that all other hosts should
1579 in fact do this exchange.
1581 Sat Apr 13 11:02:59 EST 2002
1582 Make sure that files are readable before returning TRUE
1585 Fri Apr 12 03:01:06 EST 2002
1586 Added padding messages with random if maximum
1587 packet size is not reached. All encrypted
1588 packets now look absolutely uniform in size
1589 for a non-participating adversary (before,
1590 a host that had few queries may have sent packets
1591 that were less than the maximum size).
1593 Thu Apr 11 01:43:28 EST 2002
1594 Added sequence numbers to protocol to defend
1595 against replay attacks (bug #185).
1597 Wed Apr 10 02:07:25 EST 2002
1598 Bugfix gnunet-insert-mp3 (endless loop).
1599 Updated documentation.
1601 Mon Apr 8 00:07:15 EST 2002
1602 Fixed endless-loop bug when activemigration is turned
1603 on (during startup).
1605 Fri Apr 5 02:03:13 EST 2002
1608 Fri Apr 5 00:33:42 EST 2002
1609 gnunet-gtk, the gtk+ based GUI is now functional and
1610 has all the features of gnunet-search and gnunet-download,
1611 including boolean queries. In fact, it is a bit better than
1612 gnunet-download as it shows the progress of the download.
1613 The manpage for gnunet-gtk was updated. Minor bugfixes.
1615 Mon Mar 25 02:59:13 EST 2002
1616 Changed writeFile to use a fourth parameter which is the
1617 desired permissions for the file. Files in data/hosts
1618 are now world-readable. Created man pages
1620 Mon Mar 18 17:56:52 EST 2002
1623 Sun Mar 17 10:47:51 EST 2002
1624 Got rid of far too frequent key exchange attempts.
1625 Added expiration for very-long-dead host keys. Stopped
1626 forwarding of expired HELOs (receiver drops anyway).
1628 Wed Mar 14 05:46:20 EST 2002
1629 Fixed some file location inconsistencies. All files are
1630 now in $HOME/GNUnet. RPM installation points to /var/GNUnet
1631 and the config file is ~/GNUnet/gnunet.conf
1632 Finished port to FreeBSD. This included mostly changes
1633 to src/util/statuscalls.c, but also several changes to
1634 the build system. Added a stat() call in the server code
1635 to make sure the config file exists before sending it to
1636 the OpenSSL conf code. Added getopt to source to fix
1637 portability issues. Changed FREEBSD defs to SOMEBSD, also
1638 changed in configure.in. Compiles and works on at least
1639 FreeBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 3.0
1641 Wed Mar 6 23:15:36 EST 2002
1642 Added code for 'fast scan' of the database for
1643 content to discard (should be called partial
1644 scan). This improves the startup-time dramatically.
1645 Every source file got the GNU header.
1647 Tue Mar 5 22:42:36 EST 2002
1648 Added option for *not* participating in content
1649 migration. Added timeout option to gnunet-search.
1650 gnunetd now periodically (1h) scans for new content,
1651 no restarting required.
1653 Mon Mar 4 23:21:51 EST 2002
1654 Optimized routing and content migration. Distance
1655 of the hash to the identity of the local host is
1656 now taken into account for routing. Hosts give
1657 higher priority to content that is close to their
1658 identity (priority towards keeping it). If the
1659 network grows, this should significantly improve
1660 the performance. Also, the choice of the hosts
1661 for routing is now based on proximity (to the
1662 query), the activity level of the host and its
1665 Sun Mar 3 00:14:58 EST 2002
1666 Implemented binary queries ("AND") for gnunet-search.
1667 Made sure that content is not downloaded again if
1668 already present (if there is other content, we
1669 overwrite). Fixed bug in gnunet-download
1670 (uninitialzied time-to-live).
1672 Sat Mar 2 01:57:37 EST 2002
1673 Finished porting the download-code to C. Now files can
1674 be downloaded in using shell commands. No GUI though.
1675 Released GNUnet v0.3.1.
1677 Wed Feb 20 23:47:19 EST 2002
1678 Big CVS moving operation.
1680 Sat Feb 16 23:17:27 EST 2002
1681 Started migration to GNUnet.
1683 Sun Feb 3 01:20:37 EST 2002
1684 Extracted crc32 method from zlib and put only that method into
1685 primitives. Reduces our memory footprint (if nobody else uses
1686 zlib) and we no longer depend no that library (always good).
1688 Sat Feb 2 22:56:32 EST 2002
1689 Building final tarball for v0.3.0.

1692 Created mp32gnet, a tool to automaticall index mp3 files
1693 using information from the mp3 header as keywords (title,
1694 artist, album, comments). The mp3 parsing code comes from
1695 the GPL tool mp3info.
1697 Tue Jan 29 17:36:48 EST 2002
1698 Fixed bug with files that were not closed under certain
1699 circumstances and lead to an exhaustion of the number of
1700 concurrently open files.
1702 Mon Jan 21 23:34:44 EST 2002
1703 Bumping version numbers to v0.3.0 (not yet released, needs some
1704 more testing to be on the safe side).
1706 Sun Jan 20 02:09:06 EST 2002
1707 Content gathering now discards the least important
1708 content in favour of new, more important content (if
1709 there is not space for all content). The cron
1710 management is now used everywhere. The rpm, the init-script
1711 and the gproxy shell script have been revised.
1713 Sun Jan 13 23:17:58 EST 2002
1714 Created cron management, replacing old control
1715 thread (allows for better timing of events).
1716 EvaluateContent now gets the priority of the
1717 query that the content had.
1719 Sun Jan 13 00:54:56 EST 2002
1720 Improved choice in number of hosts to forward
1721 queries to (now dynamic, depending on priority, etc.)
1722 Removed many, many allocations in print statements
1723 which also caused memory leaks if active (see
1725 Added CRC checking of the root node in GProxy. Fixed
1726 problem with CRC in IBlocks for large files.
1727 Added dialog to GProxy to choose where to save the file.
1729 Sat Jan 5 14:25:31 EST 2002
1730 Optimized routing table. Routing table is now a hashtable
1731 (collisions are handled by droping either the former or the
1732 new entry). Each bucket has it's own lock, the global
1733 semaphore is gone. The table has many more entries (we can
1734 afford that now that there is no longer a linear search).
1736 Wed Dec 26 19:30:41 CET 2001
1739 Tue Dec 25 21:24:18 CET 2001
1740 Fixed TTL errors that made queries loop. Added host-evaluation
1741 to policy (drop packets from untrusted hosts under load). Found that CRC-errors
1742 are related to policy decisions ("drop"), cosmetic fix.
1744 Sun Nov 25 08:10:52 EST 2001
1745 Added triple-hash functionality and on-demand encoding (lookup.c).
1747 Sat Nov 24 07:46:10 EST 2001
1748 Added randomized choice of hosts for the hosttable.
1750 Thu Nov 22 04:57:57 EST 2001
1751 Fixed another bunch of big bugs, tested, seems to work smoothly. Creating V0.1.0.
1753 Mon Nov 19 01:22:42 EST 2001:
1754 Fixed biggest (show-stopper) bugs. Creating V0.0.3
1756 Fri Oct 26 02:20:00 EST 2001:
