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

75 Fixed bug where datastore resizing would not
76 result in bloomfilter update during gnunet-update.
78 Sat Jun 28 23:43:00 MDT 2008
79 Fixed bug preventing namespace advertisements from
82 Sat Jun 14 00:54:39 MDT 2008
85 Fri Jun 13 23:51:00 MDT 2008
86 GNUnet now compiles on OpenBSD.
88 Wed Jun 11 22:17:09 MDT 2008
89 Made state of gnunet-auto-share persistent.
90 Added support for multiple directories. Improved
91 FSUI/ECRS APIs to reduce the number of threads needed
92 for probing. Increased number of concurrent probes
95 Sat Jun 7 17:54:49 MDT 2008
96 Simplified namespaces a lot. Shorter timeouts for
97 trying to connect to gnunetd to prevent interactive
98 apps from blocking too long when gnunetd is not
101 Sun Jun 1 21:11:54 MDT 2008
104 Sun Jun 1 13:41:27 MDT 2008
105 Split of libgnunetpseudonym from libgnunetnamespace
106 (with major API extension and changes).
108 Tue May 6 04:10:02 MDT 2008
109 Added simple sanity check for [MODULES] values.
110 Added "-s" and "-q" options to gnunet-peer-info.
112 Thu Apr 24 00:05:17 MDT 2008
113 Simplified FSUI stop/abort/pause/resume API calls
114 (no need to pass FSUI context anymore).
116 Mon Apr 21 21:05:20 MDT 2008
117 Adding buffered IO for FSUI's serialize and
120 Sun Apr 20 20:01:20 MDT 2008
121 Fixed bug in HTTP transport causing lonely messages
122 (responses to GET) not to be delivered.
124 Mon Mar 24 21:15:36 MDT 2008
125 Fixed various problems with downloading locally
126 indexed large files (downloading large files from
127 other peers should not have been a problem).
129 Sun Mar 2 15:33:41 MST 2008
130 Added option to allow user to disable IPv6 support.
133 Sat Mar 1 21:14:02 MST 2008
134 Fixed some dstore performance issues.
135 Made transports alternate between trying IPv4 and IPv6
136 if both are available (since one of them maybe
139 Mon Feb 25 23:25:48 MST 2008
140 Cleanup of the DNS code: removed GNUNET_IPvXAddress
141 and GNUNET_PRIP; centralized all DNS lookup code in
142 util/network/dns.c; improved IPv6 support for
145 Mon Feb 25 00:01:27 MST 2008
146 Added asynchronous search and download methods for
147 ECRS library. FSUI now can do with only one thread
148 per search or download (until now, we had two
149 threads per search / download).
151 Tue Feb 19 20:35:28 MST 2008
152 Updated database schemata to support O(1) operations
153 even if there are N files under the same keywords.
154 This breaks database backwards compatibility (and
155 no migration code is provided).
157 Mon Feb 18 19:47:37 MST 2008
158 Added new options -u and -s to gnunet-insert.
160 Sat Feb 16 21:37:33 MST 2008
161 Implemented gnunet-auto-share for automatic
162 sharing of directories.
164 Thu Feb 14 01:02:32 MST 2008
165 Made HTTP transport work over IPv6 as well.
167 Wed Feb 13 22:59:07 MST 2008
168 Modified mySQL and SQLite datastores to return diverse
169 result sets during (partial) hash-based get iterations
170 (should result in more diverse keyword result sets).
172 Tue Feb 12 23:54:34 MST 2008
173 First shot at integrated hostlist HTTP server based
176 Sat Feb 9 22:06:23 MST 2008
177 Minor changes to the ECRS/FSUI APIs for searches
178 (no more timeouts and/or max-results). Clients who
179 need these features could easily implement them
180 directly (and they are not really useful to begin
182 Also, the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are being integrated
183 so that we only listen to one port (running both IPv4
184 and IPv6 over the same port). This break transport
185 compatibility, but given that we're breaking protocol
186 compatibility for file-sharing already, this may
187 actually be a bit of a good thing (since it will now
188 be possible to tell if peers running the new GAP code
189 are connected to other peers running the new GAP code).
191 Sun Feb 3 13:17:09 MST 2008
192 Dramatic changes to the GAP implementation (breaking
193 protocol compatibility). Essentially, we can save
194 a few bytes in each reply. More importantly, the new
195 code allows the searching client to specify a set of
196 replies that are not desired (hopefully helping to
197 dramatically increase the diversity of search replies
198 obtained over time). Note that the actual encoding
199 and databases are not affected (just P2P protocol).
200 The update is not complete yet, but should compile.
202 Tue Jan 8 20:07:20 MST 2008
203 Added option for testing ("make check") to use weak(er)
204 PRNG for key generation (thanks to Werner Koch for
205 pointing out how to do it).
207 Thu Dec 22 20:10:37 MST 2007
208 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.3.
210 Sun Dec 9 14:34:32 MST 2007
211 Implemented MySQL version of the dstore-module. This
212 means that sqLite is now again truly optional.
214 Sat Dec 8 15:15:53 MST 2007
215 Integrated F2F topology into main topology module
216 (options are used to choose between F2F-only (old F2F),
217 minimum number of friend connections (NEW) or entirely
218 arbitrary connection set (default)).
220 Thu Dec 6 20:51:17 MST 2007
221 The SMTP transport is working again.
223 Thu Nov 22 20:49:16 MST 2007
224 United all libgnunetutil_*.so libraries into one big
225 libgnunetutil.so library (eliminates issues for binary
226 packagers and reduces file size by about 20%). Also
227 made sure that all exported symbols start with "GNUNET_".
229 Sat Sep 29 16:48:24 MDT 2007
230 Improved MySQL sqstore module performance.
231 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2c.
233 Sat Sep 8 18:01:36 MDT 2007
234 HTTP transport seems finally ready.
236 Sat Aug 25 23:58:21 MDT 2007
237 New and improved gnunet-setup GTK interface.
239 Mon Jul 30 00:07:44 MDT 2007
240 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2b.
242 Sun Jul 29 01:53:32 MDT 2007
245 Sat Jul 21 23:42:11 MDT 2007
246 Radical changes to MySQL implementation (trying to
247 address certain scalability issues).
249 Sat Jul 7 00:22:47 MDT 2007
250 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2a.
252 Fri Jul 6 22:54:52 MDT 2007
253 Fixed bugs in F2F topology code. Eliminated a few
254 confusing LOG messages.
256 Sun Jul 1 20:35:00 MDT 2007
257 Fixed issue with too many TCP connections being
258 created. Reduced CPU overheads by increasing
259 requirements for grouping of messages. Improved
260 various error messages.
262 Sat Jun 30 01:55:34 MDT 2007
263 Improved bloomfilter recomputation after quota change.
264 Fixed bloomfilter size computation. You must run
265 gnunet-update (will take a while).
267 Fri Jun 29 00:56:03 MDT 2007
268 Avoid re-connecting shortly after connection was shutdown.
270 Thu Jun 28 01:10:01 MDT 2007
271 Fixed high-latency problems for certain SQLite operations.
272 Also improved SQLite performance (but not scalability) a
273 bit. Resolved MySQL disconnect crash (gnunetd would crash
274 if mysqld was stopped).
276 Sat Jun 23 16:56:03 MDT 2007
277 Improved CPU consumption from content migration code
278 by querying the DB less often, using the same content
279 for more peers (at the expense of 1 MB extra memory
280 utilization). Fixed a deadlock.
282 Wed Jun 20 17:10:38 MDT 2007
283 Fixed bug in MySQL module.
285 Sun Jun 17 00:09:13 MDT 2007
286 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2.
288 Sat Jun 16 04:43:20 MDT 2007
289 http transport is amost back, now needing the
290 new libmicrohttpd. However, the code is still
291 highly experimental and not ready for production
294 Fri Jun 8 23:44:01 MDT 2007
295 Fixed bugs preventing namespace search from
296 working. Also extended testcase to cover
299 Tue May 29 23:15:27 MDT 2007
300 Fixed a major bug which resulted in peers without
301 traffic between them disconnecting (even if that
302 session was their only connection).
303 Fixed another major bug where nodes would not
304 properly forward HELLOs from other peers (given
305 certain common/default configuration options).
307 Sun May 27 22:39:48 MDT 2007
308 Added new API gnunet_testing_lib.h to make it
309 easier to write testcases that need to start
310 gnunetd. API is now used everywhere and the
311 ugly peer.conf files and directories are gone.
312 Fixed a bug with inserting empty directories.
313 Extended ECRS API to allow partial file download.
315 Sat May 26 18:24:15 MDT 2007
316 Fixed bugs with testcases (changes in names and
317 structure of options were not reflected in .conf
318 files for various testcases).
319 Fixed issues with command-line option handling (failed to
320 override configuration file options).
321 Fixed bogus nesting in GAP routing algorithm (caused
322 random request drops).
324 Fri May 25 12:23:38 MDT 2007
325 Finished extended URITRACK API.
326 Renamed various (minor) libraries and function calls to
327 get somewhat more consistent naming conventions.

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

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

470 text error messages to clients (not just error codes).
472 Wed Nov 15 23:17:36 MST 2006
473 Fixed expiration time setting. Improved bias of

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

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

591 Mon Aug 22 00:37:11 PDT 2005
592 Made "UPDATE" use a prepared statement in MySQL datastore.
594 Sun Aug 21 23:08:57 PDT 2005
595 Fixed bugs causing unnecessary long delays for downloads from
596 loopback. Also now bypassing routing table for loopback download
597 (faster, avoids pollution of the routing table when not needed).
599 Sun Aug 21 18:42:14 PDT 2005
600 Fixed memory leak in gnunet-insert -R. Improved memory utilization
601 by SQlite dramatically (see discussion on gnunet-developers).
603 Sat Aug 20 21:04:28 PDT 2005
604 Fixed (rare) segmentation fault in insertion code.
606 Sat Aug 20 19:31:10 PDT 2005
607 Yet another tiny bug -- but one that hangs gnunetd; fixed in pre6a.
609 Sat Aug 20 13:51:01 PDT 2005
612 Sat Aug 20 12:51:27 PDT 2005
613 Changed sqlite data format to avoid encoding-decoding
614 (breaks compatibility with previous datastores, in particular
615 since conversion code is NOT provided).
616 The page size was also increased, rendering the database files
619 Thu Aug 18 21:18:28 PDT 2005
620 Made quotations match GNU standards.
622 Wed Aug 17 20:05:19 PDT 2005
623 Fixed bug that would prevent P2P messages from being
624 transmitted under certain (common) circumstances.
626 Mon Aug 15 00:08:47 PDT 2005
627 Bugfest. Fixed various bugs in MySQL, fragmentation,
628 core and fs (see Mantis for more details).
630 Mon Jul 18 01:03:05 CEST 2005
631 Alpha-rename fest. Releasing 0.7.0pre5.
633 Sun Jul 17 13:49:40 CEST 2005
634 Fixed problems with struct alignment on 64-bit
635 AMDs. Fixed recently introduced memory leak.
636 Fixed various compiler warnings.
638 Sat Jul 16 23:55:31 CEST 2005
639 Fixed various minor problems with platforms
640 without gettext/NLS support and for 64-bit size_ts.
641 Also fixed a couple of other compiler warnings.
642 Cleaned up connection.c code.
644 Mon Jul 11 14:41:18 CEST 2005
645 Fixed tiny memory leak in http_bootstrap.
647 Mon Jul 11 02:22:24 CEST 2005
648 Fixed long-standing problems in statuscalls wrt
649 network load estimates, leading to too-high bandwidth
650 consumption on average. Fixed minor memory leaks.
651 Fixed far too often session-key exchange (was done
652 also for sessions that were already up).
654 Thu Jul 7 15:22:21 CEST 2005
655 Fixed bug in identity, missing ntohs for protocol ID.
656 Fixed bug in topology, wrong calculation of saturation.
658 Wed Jul 6 22:34:30 CEST 2005
659 Fixed bugs in core with respect to possible infinite
660 recursion caused by fragmentation callbacks. Also
661 differenciated between fatal transport sends and
662 transient transport sends. Cleanup of some APIs.
664 Sat Jul 2 17:21:07 CEST 2005
665 Fixed bugs in gnunet-pseudonym (listing of namespaces),
666 FSUI (double-free for namespace creation), cleaned up
667 APIs and implemented clearing of completed downloads
668 (FSUI). Releasing 0.7.0pre4.
670 Fri Jul 1 15:08:42 CEST 2005
671 Added statistics for transports and other connection-
672 related functions. Prevented core from dropping
673 messages just because transport is (temporarily)
674 blocked. Made transport selection in identity random
675 again where necessary.
677 Thu Jun 30 20:05:15 CEST 2005
678 Added cache for KBlocks (can speed up insertion speed
679 for recursive inserts quite a bit).
681 Thu Jun 30 13:52:17 CEST 2005
682 Enabled IPv6 by default. Fixed various minor bugs.
684 Tue Jun 28 13:41:58 UTC 2005
685 Fixed various open FIXMEs, including error handling,
686 bad performance and some memory leaks (gnunet-tools
687 only, not in gnunetd).
689 Mon Jun 27 17:21:09 CEST 2005
690 Fixed double-free segfault.
691 Fixed problem with session timeout not happening.
692 Fixed issue with too lazy slot reclaim for reconnect.
693 Made reconnect scanning more incremental (1/10th of
694 the work every 500ms instead of full work every 5s).
695 Fixed memory leak in advertisement processing.
697 Sun Jun 26 18:21:17 CEST 2005
698 Plenty of bugfixes everywhere, gnunet-setup works
699 now. Releasing 0.7.0pre3.
701 Sat Jun 11 11:25:24 EST 2005
702 Fixed various problems with recursive upload
703 (thread stack size too small, wrong filenames
704 passed around, wrong list of filenames updated).
706 Sat Apr 2 01:54:23 EST 2005
707 Various bugfixes, some of them critical (segfaults,
708 protocol errors (resulting in failures to connect),
709 old version of configuration file would be
710 generated if configuration was missing,
711 gnunet-insert would not properly work with multiple
712 keywords (-k and -K options)). Releasing 0.7.0pre2.
714 Thu Mar 31 21:38:06 EST 2005
717 Tue Mar 8 14:45:55 EST 2005
718 OpenSSL cannot fully support SHA-512. Eliminated as an
719 option (not necessary, GPL incompatible, trouble, work
720 to maintain -- in summary: not worth it).
722 Sat Mar 5 00:33:51 EST 2005
723 Changing hash algorithm to SHA-512.
724 Changing symcipher algorithm to AES-256.
726 Sun Feb 27 21:59:31 EST 2005
727 All unit testcases pass. Releasing 0.7.0pre0.
729 Sat Feb 12 17:35:08 EST 2005
730 Fixed mysql-test. Changed MySQL to use prepared statements,
731 avoids conversion (mysql_escape_string) and is faster on the
734 Wed Dec 15 20:47:40 EST 2004
735 Removed support for password encryption of namespace keys.
736 Hardly used and adds hardly any security. Encrypt /home if
737 you need this, would be more effective anyway.
739 Fri Nov 26 06:27:12 EST 2004
740 Sessionkey exchange works now, at least with OpenSSL. There
741 seems to be some quirk in some version of libcrypt with
742 respect to RSA encryption. Anyway, it is a heisenbug (sometimes
743 RSA decryption does not result in what was originally
744 encrypted), but I have the feeling this problem existed
745 already in 0.6.5 -- and it is now detected and does not
748 Tue Nov 23 02:35:50 EST 2004
749 The CVS may look like it's compiling, but that's just because
750 most of the service modules are not even attempted.
751 And without those, nothing will work. But in good news,
752 util, transport and server do compile now.
754 Sun Nov 21 03:53:22 EST 2004
755 Starting to make incompatible changes. Once this is commited
756 to CVS (which will only happen once at least some parts compile
757 again), this version will no longer be compatible with any
758 previously released version of GNUnet (and highly experimental).
759 Do not yet use the new code on-line, do not expect it to work
762 Sun Nov 14 16:49:02 EST 2004
763 Debugged collections, seems to work (not that it looks pretty,
764 but it basically works, the rest is UI work). Fixed deadlock
765 in gnunet-gtk logging. Releasing GNUnet 0.6.5.
767 Thu Nov 4 09:04:48 EST 2004
768 Added (highly experimental) support for collections.
770 Sat Sep 25 22:29:48 EST 2004
771 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4a.
773 Sun Sep 19 23:39:04 EST 2004
774 Various code cleanups and minor bugfixes.
776 Sun Aug 29 15:11:28 IST 2004
777 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4.
779 Tue Aug 24 20:59:14 IST 2004
780 Significant enhancements to namespaces. A namespace can
781 now be annotated with meta-data at the time that it is
784 Sat Aug 21 01:00:06 IST 2004
785 Adding GNU gettext support to configure.
787 Thu Aug 19 01:26:55 IST 2004
788 Migrating gnunet-gtk to GTK 2.0 (tested with 2.4).
790 Mon Aug 16 00:30:59 IST 2004
791 Removed gcry. Added dependency on GNU MP library (libgmp)
794 Tue Aug 3 17:57:43 IST 2004
795 Fixed bugs in gnunet-update. Fixed segfault in AFS startup.
796 Fixed warnings in gnunet-peer-info/gnunetd. Fixed packaging
797 error (not all of util/gcry included in distribution).
798 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3a.
800 Mon Aug 2 20:06:07 IST 2004
801 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3.
803 Sun Aug 1 01:31:19 IST 2004
804 Changed most places from HexName to the new, shorter EncName.
805 Pushed URIs for namespaces and keyword searches into more
806 widespread use. Replaced all occurences of sprintf with
807 SNPRINTF (to obtain extra bounds check).
809 Sun Jul 11 13:54:01 IST 2004
810 Moved testcases for libgnunet_util to util/ directory.
811 Made DB testcases in afs/module/ run for each available
812 database and not just the one configured in /etc/gnunet.conf.
814 Fri Jun 25 21:05:59 IST 2004
815 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2b (resolves various minor bugs).
817 Wed May 5 17:34:39 EST 2004
818 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2a (resolves libgcrypt and packageing
819 issues, improved gtk-statistics, other minor bugfixes).
821 Fri Apr 30 21:36:23 EST 2004
822 Fixed synchronization problem in cron (only relevant for
823 parallel downloading). Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2.
825 Mon Apr 26 21:13:45 EST 2004
826 Added support to gnunet-check to convert file index database
827 to new design. Removed support for pre 0.6.1b bloomfilter
828 conversion (would have been too messy to support both).
829 Added old-version check to gnunetd startup to make updates
830 more systematic in the future (not perfect, though).
832 Mon Apr 26 19:27:29 EST 2004
833 Recursive insertion of directories with gnunet-gtk
834 now works including the progress bar.
836 Sun Apr 25 18:24:55 EST 2004
837 Global changes to fix bug #698. The fix is still
838 incomplete with respect to pthread.h specific structs.
840 Sun Apr 25 15:20:29 EST 2004
841 Fixed compile error in IPv6 transports.
843 Fri Apr 23 23:38:01 EST 2004
844 Added recursive insertion of directories to gnunet-gtk.
845 Progress-bar does not work yet, also libextractor is
846 always used (no option to turn it off).
848 Fri Apr 23 21:49:18 EST 2004
849 Removed need to specify _protocol in configuration file
852 Wed Apr 21 23:32:36 EST 2004
853 Added code to bound priority used by clients by twice the
854 average priority of requests from other peers that are
855 routed at the moment. That prevents clients from exposing
856 themselves with excessively high priorities (and also
857 avoids giving too much credit/trust needlessly).
859 Tue Apr 20 22:27:19 EST 2004
860 Added possibility of using a link instead of making a copy
861 if gnunetd and the insert-client both run on the same machine.
863 Tue Apr 20 00:00:58 EST 2004
864 Added network transparency for indexing files (by copying
865 them to a GNUnet(d) specific directory). This breaks
866 unindexing (for files indexed with previous versions) and
867 forces the user to make a copy of the file. In the near
868 future we should resolve this problem by allowing the use
871 Sun Apr 18 17:24:34 EST 2004
872 Adding recursive, parallel download of directories to
875 Sun Apr 18 01:57:32 EST 2004
876 gnunet-transport-check can now be used to check
877 external connectivity (with other peers).
879 Sat Apr 17 17:46:19 EST 2004
880 Reduced memory consuption for AFS insertion and
883 Sat Apr 10 21:17:46 EST 2004
884 Implemented statistics-plot in gnunet-gtk based on
885 gnome-system-monitor code.
887 Fri Apr 9 22:01:51 EST 2004
888 Added support for libextractor > 0.2.7.
890 Fri Apr 9 0:29:20 EST 2004
891 Completed --help conversion.
893 Wed Mar 31 15:40:51 EST 2004
896 Tue Mar 30 22:42:13 EST 2004
897 Integrated gnunet-pseudonym-create, -delete and -list into
898 gnunet-pseudonym as well as gnunet-directory-list, -emptydb
899 and -print into gnunet-directory.
901 Tue Mar 2 10:46:01 EST 2004
902 Fixing bug preventing download for indexed files <= 1k.
904 Sat Feb 28 03:43:34 EST 2004
907 Sat Feb 21 06:16:47 EST 2004
908 Modified requestmanager to improve performance at the end of the
911 Thu Feb 19 00:48:33 EST 2004
912 Fixed integer underflow possibly causing slow download performance.
914 Sun Feb 15 15:17:05 EST 2004
915 Fixed weak key failures with libgcrypt.
917 Sun Feb 15 13:14:44 EST 2004
918 New routing code (untested) commited.
920 Sun Feb 15 11:58:10 EST 2004
921 Fixing problem with 64-bit size_t on alpha (#655).
923 Sat Jan 31 04:32:33 EST 2004
926 Fri Jan 23 00:00:09 EST 2004
927 Fixed indexed content being overwritten by migrated content
929 Thu Jan 22 19:27:33 EST 2004
930 Fixed integer-overflow problems in statuscalls.
931 Fixed missing ttl/priority adjustment for NS-Queries.
932 Fixed bug in routing that would let very old queries survive.
934 Thu Jan 15 23:14:54 EST 2004
935 Fixed size of super-bloomfilter (was factor of 32 to small).
936 Fixed option -r of gnunet-check (would not increment bloom filters
937 to appropriate value).
939 Wed Dec 31 17:07:40 EST 2003
940 Fixed various routing and bandwidth allocation problems.
943 Wed Dec 24 00:00:00 EST 2003
946 Fri Dec 19 00:57:29 EST 2003
947 NAT transport passes tests.
949 Sat Dec 13 00:16:41 EST 2003
952 Thu Oct 16 19:20:29 EST 2003
953 Added greedy knapsack heuristic for use by CPU-overloaded
956 Mon Oct 13 22:36:45 EST 2003
957 Improved gnunet-gtk code that forks of gnunetd (some extra checking,
958 use fork-exec instead of system(), pass configuration file as
961 Sun Oct 12 03:42:55 EST 2003
962 Split bandwidth montoring into up and downstream.
963 Why stop sending replies merely because we *receive* traffic!?
964 Also reduced frequency of HELO exchange.
965 Added more statistics (traffic by type).
967 Fri Oct 10 02:05:13 EST 2003
968 Fixed bug that wasted a lot of CPU time.
969 Better CPU usage control by making knapsack
970 solving (frequency and problem size) dependent
973 Thu Oct 9 14:29:35 EST 2003
976 Sun Oct 5 21:35:23 EST 2003
977 GNUnet 0.6.0 released.
979 Sat Oct 4 12:54:55 EST 2003
980 Fixed bug in timer code (discovered in testcase).
981 Added extensive testcases for platform dependent code.
983 Fri Sep 19 01:38:00 EST 2003
984 Added code to allow namespace queries to return multiple
985 results. Updates are now displayed in separate tabs.
987 Wed Sep 17 23:54:15 EST 2003
988 Migrated libgcrypt code in util to comply with
989 libgcrypt 1.1.43 (and it passes the tests just fine)
991 Wed Sep 17 22:59:16 EST 2003
992 Fixed problems with updates in namespaces in the GTK code.
993 Added boolean search capability (x AND y) to GTK search.
994 Made namespace search frequency respect TTL delays.
996 Thu Aug 21 19:42:57 EST 2003
997 GNUnet 0.5.5 released.
999 Tue Aug 12 20:48:39 EST 2003
1000 Support for namespaces with updates is there,
1001 but requires testing.
1003 Sun Jul 27 14:48:19 EST 2003
1004 Added download summary window to gnunet-gtk.
1006 Fri Jul 25 14:15:37 CET 2003
1007 Unioned gnunet-insert-multi and gnunet-insert-sblock
1010 Thu Jun 26 23:22:12 EST 2003
1011 Added draft support for directories.
1013 Thu Jun 26 23:21:41 EST 2003
1014 GNUnet 0.5.4a released
1016 Sat Jun 14 19:21:41 EST 2003
1017 Added support for HTTP-PROXY to download the hostlist.
1019 Wed May 29 01:13:15 EST 2003
1020 Fixing some ugly bugs in connection.c that caused
1021 permanent connection-drop and connection-establish
1022 cycles (every 5 minutes).
1024 Sat May 24 03:12:42 EST 2003
1025 Migrated subset of libgcrypt into GNUnet tree to use
1026 it instead of OpenSSL or libgcrypt. RSA in the new
1027 code is broken at the moment.
1029 Sun May 18 04:10:25 EST 2003
1030 GNUnet 0.5.4 released.
1032 Sat May 10 21:39:35 EST 2003
1033 Only download hostlist after a while if we were
1034 not able to connect (to reduce load on hostlist
1037 Fri May 2 23:20:15 EST 2003
1038 Added code to handle massive collisions in datastore
1039 (thousands of files under the same keyword).
1041 Sun Apr 27 23:52:12 EST 2003
1042 GNUnet 0.5.3 released.
1044 Wed Apr 23 03:20:21 EST 2003
1045 Build system cleanup, location of mysql, gdbm, tdb and
1046 db can now be specified.
1048 Mon Apr 21 01:54:24 EST 2003
1049 Made random content selection with pIdx faster
1050 (do not read entire pidx files) and fully random
1051 (added code to weigh pidx files by number of entries).
1053 Sun Apr 20 23:25:45 EST 2003
1054 Fixed double-free in TCP transport code (seems to have
1055 only had a real chance to occur under BSD in practice).
1057 Sat Apr 19 14:42:37 EST 2003
1058 Replaced use of dlopen for plugins with the more
1059 portable ltdl from libtool.
1061 Thu Apr 17 20:36:42 EST 2003
1062 Added synchronization to pIdx, also use truncate
1063 to remove last n entries instead of re-writing the
1064 entire file (much, much faster).
1066 Mon Apr 7 00:00:07 EST 2003
1067 Implemented gnunet-delete.
1069 Sat Apr 5 15:55:31 EST 2003
1070 Made directory database use 256 sub-directories
1071 (should increase speed a lot, with the new DB
1072 manager, this will result in at most 2048
1073 files per directory).
1075 Mon Mar 31 16:51:24 EST 2003
1076 gnunet-convert and gnunet-check compile again
1077 with the new DB code.
1079 Sun Mar 30 13:14:52 CET 2003
1080 Added BSD DB (libdb) support.
1082 Sun Mar 23 04:04:38 EST 2003
1083 Big gnunet-gtk cleanup.
1085 Tue Mar 18 01:52:18 EST 2003
1088 Sun Mar 16 20:24:24 EST 2003
1089 Caching of RSA signatures for HELOs reduced CPU
1090 usage dramatically, from an average of 31% to less
1091 than 5% on my machine.
1093 Sun Mar 16 01:21:16 EST 2003
1094 Fixed locking problem and problem with TCP transport
1095 (bad set of sockets in select).
1097 Sat Mar 15 03:02:42 EST 2003
1098 Fixed bug that copied wrong content (garbage) into
1099 replies for other peers. This one was introduced
1100 briefly before 0.5.2. Argh.
1102 Fri Feb 28 00:23:02 EST 2003
1103 Fixed segfault in gnunet-gtk when closing search
1106 Thu Feb 27 16:23:20 EST 2003
1107 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.2.
1109 Mon Feb 24 00:28:52 EST 2003
1110 Cleaning up the AFS routing code, also some tweaks
1111 to improve anonymity against an active attacker.
1113 Thu Feb 20 23:51:30 EST 2003
1114 gnunet-tracekit works now nicely (and with dot).
1115 Also, GNUnet now attempts to locate a configuration
1116 file in /etc/gnunet.conf if ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf
1117 does not exist (and nothing is specified on the
1120 Wed Feb 12 23:21:44 EST 2003
1121 Fixed deadlock between pingpong and connection
1124 Tue Feb 4 13:22:09 EST 2003
1125 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.1(a).
1127 Tue Feb 4 04:05:58 EST 2003
1128 RSA encryption of OpenSSL has been changed to pure
1129 PKCS #1 to achieve compatibility with libgcrypt.
1131 Mon Feb 3 18:46:54 EST 2003
1132 RSA signature encoding has been changed from raw
1133 to PKCS #1 compatible encoding. This should help
1134 making the migration to libgcrypt easier in the
1135 future. RSA & libgcrypt are still not friends,
1136 but the GNUnet code should be mostly there.
1138 Fri Jan 31 10:40:01 EST 2003
1139 gnunet-peer-info tool was added. This tool can
1140 prints information about all known peers and may
1141 be useful for diagnostics.
1143 Mon Jan 20 17:54:51 EST 2003
1144 A large number of memory leaks got fixed thanks
1145 to the new automated scripts to find them.
1147 Thu Jan 16 00:49:20 EST 2003
1148 Nearly finished removing dependencies on OpenSSL
1149 (using libgcrypt instead), $FOO-expansion in
1150 configuration parsing and RSA (public key crypto)
1151 are the only missing pieces.
1153 Mon Jan 13 01:53:45 EST 2003
1154 Fixed deadlock in gnunetd (would stop processing
1157 Sun Dec 27 13:34:11 CET 2002
1158 Fixed segmentation fault that occured when number
1159 of known peers goes over 128.
1161 Sat Dec 21 16:27:11 CET 2002
1162 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.0.
1164 Sat Dec 14 03:47:05 CET 2002
1165 Bugfixes over bugfixes. Various memory leaks
1166 from gnunetd to gnunet-download, problems
1167 with bloomfilters and gnunet-check, enforcing
1168 storage limitations set by the user, fixes
1169 in the UDP, TCP and SMTP transports;
1170 better thread termination (avoid asynchronous
1171 cancellation). Not to mention the new
1172 tools gnunet-transport-check and gnunet-tbench
1173 for the evaulation of correctness and performance
1174 of the transport services.
1176 Wed Nov 6 22:49:24 EST 2002
1177 Added load smoothing for network and CPU load
1178 such that we quickly adapt to increasing load,
1179 but slowly reduce the (effective) load value
1180 used in the policy if the load drops. This should
1181 help avoiding 0-1 policies where we always jump
1182 up and down between 100% load and no load, letting
1183 in one period all traffic through and in the next
1186 Wed Nov 6 00:31:39 EST 2002
1187 Added port==0 for UDP and TCP transport as an
1188 option to indicate that the transport is to be
1189 used only to establish connections to other
1190 peers but not as a server-socket (that is,
1191 if the port is 0, other GNUnet peers can not
1192 connect to the local node's UDP or TCP port,
1193 but the local node can still use UDP
1194 (unidirectional) or TCP (even bi-directional)
1195 to talk to other peers. This is useful if a
1196 node is behind a NAT box and can not receive
1197 inbound traffic but is able to send messages to
1198 other peers (and in the case of TCP even receive
1199 messages if the local peer initiated the
1200 bi-directional connection). Currently, a peer
1201 must always provide at least one transport under
1202 which the peer can be "actively" reached since
1203 otherwise other peers will not keep the public
1204 key of that peer and thus not be able to
1205 complete the session key exchange. For NAT-box
1206 peers, SMTP might be a viable choice for that
1209 Fri Oct 11 02:16:42 EST 2002
1210 Added bloomfilter interface and calls to the BF from
1211 the AFS service implementation. Missing for working
1212 bloomfilter are calls from gnunet-insert to update
1213 the bloom-filter (top-CHK and super-queries) and the
1214 actual bloom-filter implementation.
1216 Tue Oct 8 20:35:45 EST 2002
1217 TCP transport now works with only one thread (using
1218 select) instead of one thread per peer-connection.
1220 Fri Sep 27 02:24:52 EST 2002
1221 New content encoding (still only 1k blocks, but with
1222 CHK style IBocks and GBlocks for aggressive content
1223 migration) now seems to work.
1225 Mon Sep 16 01:57:55 EST 2002
1226 Implemented gnunet-chat, a demo-application for
1227 how to develop p2p applications on top of GNUnet.
1229 Sun Sep 15 22:48:28 EST 2002
1230 Fixing (long standing) problem with segfaults under BSD
1231 due to stack overflow in threads.
1233 Sun Sep 15 02:04:52 EST 2002
1234 TCP transport layer implementation seems to work now.
1235 gnunet.conf is now documented on the web. HELO exchange
1236 is fixed, so is the CS-connection whitelisting.
1238 Fri Sep 13 00:51:01 EST 2002
1239 Update on the progress towards 0.4.9. What is missing?
1240 * new content encoding to facilitate:
1242 - discriminated routing (downloads vs. searches)
1243 - variable blocksize (?)
1244 - self-synchronizing stream encoding (?)
1245 * additional transport layers (SMTP, TCP, HTTP)
1246 * demo application (chat) for how to use the API
1247 * documentation on new gnunet.conf
1249 - Igor reports, HELO exchange is broken
1250 - David reports, CS-connection whitelisting is broken
1251 - rpm.spec is outdated (add GNUnet's dynamic libraries)
1253 What has been resolved so far:
1255 * transport and application layer have been abstracted
1256 * dynamic loading of transports and applications is
1258 * routing much faster since slots are freed earlier
1259 * querymanager is more intelligent in where to send
1260 queries (presumably, not tested)
1263 * configuration can store options from commandline
1264 * statistics is totally dynamic and can be extended
1265 * connection buffer does callbacks on applications to
1266 fill buffers with queries instead of noise, and
1267 the querymanager makes use of this
1271 * gnettypes.h is gone
1272 * AFS specific code is all in AFS
1273 * renaming is also done
1275 Sun Aug 25 15:30:56 EST 2002
1276 Moving work towards 0.4.9 to CVS. The major goals are:
1277 * independent transport layer (UDP, TCP, SMTP, HTTP,
1278 any of these should be possible in the future); also,
1279 the MTU may be defined differently by any one of them.
1280 * independent application layer. Anonymous File Sharing
1281 (AFS) should just be one application for the GNUnet
1284 Other minor goals and refactorings include:
1285 * configuration - we should be able to update dynamically
1286 options from the gnunet.conf file. E.g. by adding options
1287 from the command line
1288 * statistics - we should not have a hardwired fixed set
1289 of datapoints, the statistics module should be useful
1290 for any kind of statistics
1291 * noise reduction - the connection buffer should allow
1292 the use of intelligent applications that get notified
1293 if noise would be send and then can plug in useful data
1295 And then there is just moving stuff:
1296 * move "common/" to where it belongs (either applications
1298 * gnettypes is bad if we want to seperate app specifcs
1299 and core. The typedefs should be placed where they are
1301 * database does not belong in util, it's AFS specific
1302 * AFS: cleaner separation between database, encoding,
1303 protocol implementation, shell-tools and GUI code.
1305 And finally, renaming:
1306 * if we have TCP for peer-to-peer communications,
1307 we can't use "TCP" vs. "UDP" to distinguish p2p from
1308 client-server, thus: "UDP" becomes "p2p" and "TCP"
1309 becomes "CS". At least where they were used to distinguish
1310 node-to-node and client-server (gnunetd).
1312 Sun Aug 25 15:02:31 EST 2002
1313 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.6.
1315 Thu Aug 22 01:31:21 EEST 2002
1316 gnunet-gtk should now be able to perform multiple
1317 search and download operations simultaneously (atleast a couple).
1319 Tue Aug 20 23:11:10 EEST 2002
1320 Fixed segfault in gnunet-search and gnunet-gtk which appeared
1321 when there was lots of results.
1322 Modified gnunetd to return more results at once if there
1323 is excess bandwidth.
1325 Sun Aug 18 23:57:10 EST 2002
1326 Reworked the lookup-database. The old database got
1327 into trouble storing data when it was 6% full. Some
1328 simulations show that the new approach should manage
1329 94% and should be about as fast (more CPU, presumably
1330 slightly fewer random disc accesses).
1331 This change is INCOMPATIBLE with 0.4.5. You *must*
1332 run "gnunet-check -a" before starting this new version
1333 of gnunetd in order to migrate to the new format. For
1334 database simulation and statistical numbers, see
1335 also src/historical/simula.c.
1337 Fri Aug 16 17:07:15 EST 2002
1338 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.5.
1340 Fri Aug 16 16:43:39 EST 2002
1341 Added feature that will allow the specification of
1342 multiple URLs for downloading the initial hostlist.
1344 Mon Aug 12 02:28:14 EST 2002
1345 Fixed big problem in requestmanager that would
1346 make downloads *very* slow for no good reason
1347 at all (ttl increment in wrong place would make
1348 us defer the next request for more than twice
1349 as long as needed, plus some other minor bugs).
1351 Mon Aug 12 01:31:03 EST 2002
1352 Fixed bug #347 (option "-H" to gnunet-clients for
1353 connecting to a remote gnunetd node).
1355 Mon Aug 12 01:10:17 EST 2002
1356 Fixed bug #348 (no more scan of the entire database
1357 on startup, instead the databases (gdbm, tdb) contain
1358 an entry that gives the nubmer of entries). Note that
1359 this is not done for contentdatabase_directory.
1361 Sun Aug 11 17:00:03 EEST 2002
1362 Crude file insertion capabilities added to gnunet-gtk gui.
1364 Thu Aug 8 19:13:34 EST 2002
1365 Added progress bar / printing of insertion status to
1366 gnunet-insert (option "-V").
1368 Thu Aug 8 19:02:33 EST 2002
1369 Cleaning up code (establishing sessions, etc.)
1371 Thu Aug 8 18:03:05 EST 2002
1372 Fixed bug #343 (overflow in stats) by moving to
1373 long long. Let's hope that __BYTE_ORDER is
1374 actually defined outside of netinet/in.h.
1376 Thu Aug 8 17:47:17 EST 2002
1377 Fixed gnunetd segfaulting if gnunet.conf is not
1378 available. Also, recvfrom returning -1 with
1379 errno == EAGAIN was fixed earlier.
1381 Wed Jul 31 23:38:36 EST 2002
1384 Wed Jul 31 21:35:53 EST 2002
1385 Fixed bug with TCP connection that would not
1386 free thread resources and eventually lead to
1387 gnunetd not being able to start new threads
1388 anymore (mantis: #339).
1390 Tue Jul 30 23:38:51 EST 2002
1391 Fixed SIGHUP exiting. The main loop was exiting
1392 because recvfrom returned -1 with errno EINTR,
1393 which caused us to break out of the main loop.
1394 Also added gnunetd.pid file to simplify killing
1395 (or re-reading configuration of) the server.
1396 You must specify the PIDFILE in gnunet.conf!
1398 Tue Jul 30 20:38:47 EST 2002
1399 Started writing code to enable re-reading of the
1400 configuration file whenever we receive a SIGHUP.
1401 Works, except that after we've read the new
1402 config file, gnunetd exits (unknown why).
1404 Mon Jul 29 18:52:23 EST 2002
1405 Added shutdown code that terminates connection when
1406 SIGTERM is received (to avoid keeping lots of UDP
1407 traffic for the next couple of minutes from hosts
1408 that still believe we're up).
1410 Sat Jul 27 12:39:47 EST 2002
1411 Added code to measure network load asymmetrically (useful
1414 Fri Jul 26 22:46:54 EST 2002
1417 Wed Jul 24 21:13:08 EST 2002
1418 Fixed bug in locking and segfault (Linux tolerated,
1419 BSD crashed, both in connection.c), added logging service.
1421 Tue Jul 23 00:41:17 EST 2002
1422 Made gnunetd fork like a nice deamon should. Also
1423 started to add a logging service.
1425 Sun Jul 21 20:39:20 EST 2002
1426 Fixed issue with check_database (index checking too
1427 strict if content is available in database and
1428 on-demand encoded; also a bounds check was missing).
1430 Sun Jul 21 16:05:20 EST 2002
1431 Fixed deadlock in heloexchange (knownhost requires
1434 Sun Jul 21 02:02:32 EST 2002
1435 Improved routing table. Now does more dynamic memory
1436 allocation, reducing the fixed-size per slot from 700
1437 to 56 bytes. Increased number of slots from 512 to
1438 8092 (which is the optimal number for a 56 kbps
1441 Sat Jul 20 23:57:06 EST 2002
1442 Fixed bug that caused problems for files
1443 that were indexed and that had spaces in
1446 Wed Jul 17 22:50:24 EST 2002
1447 Fixed bug that prohibited a transitive HELO exchange
1450 Wed Jul 17 01:48:44 EST 2002
1451 Fixed a couple of bugs in gnunet-check and the
1452 insertion-tools. Now gnunet-check seems to run like
1453 a charm. Running it to detect and fix problems in
1454 the GNUnet databases seems now recommendable :-).
1455 Note that you must stop gnunetd before running
1458 Mon Jul 15 22:27:45 EST 2002
1459 Added return values for insertion. If we run out of
1460 space (in particular for the fixed-size index
1461 database), we can now communicate the problem to the
1463 gnunet-check is now pretty much feature-complete,
1464 but it takes of course very, very long to run. There
1465 is now also a man-page for gnunet-check.
1467 Thu Jul 11 11:33:34 EST 2002
1468 Added randomized order of blocks for the download
1469 (patch by I. Wronsky).
1471 Thu Jun 20 21:13:21 EST 2002
1472 Added HANGUP, a message send if one side terminates the connection.
1473 Sending the message is optional, but it is nicer to have it. Also
1474 started on gnunet-check, a tool to check database consistency.
1476 Thu Jun 20 03:11:01 EST 2002
1477 Improved handling of collisions in the hashes in the
1478 lookup module (uses no longer a linear scan on the
1479 collisions file but a hashtable for the collisions!).
1481 Tue Jun 18 20:29:38 EST 2002
1482 Released GNUnet 0.4.2.
1484 Tue Jun 18 20:20:55 EST 2002
1485 Fixed bugs in blacklisting IPs. Added feature to allow specification
1486 which networks are trusted enough to connect to the trusted TCP
1487 port (TCP/2086 no longer needs to be firewalled!).
1489 Tue Jun 18 02:35:53 EST 2002
1490 Fixed problems with ttl (negative TTL queries were forwarded),
1491 also better flushing of buffers and fewer SKEY exchanges due to
1492 a now working implementation of the blacklist. A DNS lookup for
1493 the NAT-box-IP configuration was also added.
1495 Sun Jun 16 04:11:01 EST 2002
1496 Added code to provide statistics (gnunet-stats).
1499 Sun Jun 9 22:56:02 EST 2002
1500 Released GNUnet 0.4.1.
1502 Sat Jun 8 05:00:36 EST 2002
1503 Several small bugfixes (list of shared files not updated on
1504 insertion, highest-bit of trust not interpreted as dirty,
1505 rpm dependency on libextractor added.
1506 Also many improvments to the build process.
1508 Wed Jun 5 17:01:58 EST 2002
1509 Made sure that HELOs don't trigger Ping-Pong if we don't
1510 really learn anything new.
1512 Tue Jun 4 17:17:45 EST 2002
1513 The port numbers were not in network-byte order. Fixing
1514 this is trivial, but it breaks compatibility with 0.4.0.
1515 Thanks to Rick Kennell for reporting the endianess issue.
1517 Mon Jun 3 20:35:47 EST 2002
1518 Fixed bug with CRC not endian-converted in gnunet-gtk.
1519 Added mimetype and filename support to gnunet-gtk.
1521 Sun Jun 2 03:52:18 EST 2002
1524 Sat Jun 1 22:13:12 EST 2002
1525 Added three-way handshake for SKEY exchange. Not tested.
1527 Sat Jun 1 16:55:18 EST 2002
1528 Fixed potential DDoS problem where malicious hosts could
1529 trick GNUnet servers to repeatedly probe a non-partitipating host
1530 trying to establish a connection. I wonder how many other
1531 p2p systems are vulnerable. (Fix: after HELO, play PING-PONG).
1532 The endianess issues should be fixed throughout the system, but
1533 not tested on a real machine so far.
1535 Sat May 25 15:55:11 EST 2002
1536 Moved to new CVS server. First changes towards 0.4.0:
1538 * insert/index via TCP
1539 * bugfixes (mostly performance)
1541 Sat May 18 16:00:06 EST 2002
1542 Added mimetype, filename and version number to RootNodes
1543 (mostly incompatible change!). Added automatic generic keyword
1544 and mime-type extraction via libextractor to gnunet-insert.
1546 Tue May 14 23:59:40 EST 2002
1547 New storage database is starting to look good. We can now store
1548 the data in a directory (one file per block), a gdbm database,
1549 and presumably (not tested) in a tdb database.
1551 Sat May 11 22:10:56 EST 2002
1552 Completed, deployed and tested the new TCPIO code. This changes
1553 the gnunetd-client protocol. Essentially, we convert the TCP stream
1554 into records with a length and type header. This should allow us
1555 to fix bug #212 and add other features in the future. The current
1556 change is really only changing the core TCP code and not anything
1557 around it. We should deploy some demultiplexing code later.
1559 Tue May 7 20:56:40 EST 2002
1560 Added IP blacklisting (for virtual private networks).
1562 Sat May 4 14:08:23 EST 2002
1563 Fixed bug with bad insertion of files smaller than 1k.
1565 Fri May 3 23:25:16 EST 2002
1566 Added IP change detection (useful for dialup) [bug #272].
1567 Added code to ensure that a HELO is life instantly
1568 after receiving it, fixing the 'unknown host,
1569 refusing SKEY problem' (bug #273). Other minor
1570 bugfixes (#274, #283).
1572 Sun Apr 14 22:36:03 EST 2002
1573 Added option to allow NAT boxes not to exchange
1574 foreign HELOs and thus expose the private
1575 network. Fixed bug that all other hosts should
1576 in fact do this exchange.
1578 Sat Apr 13 11:02:59 EST 2002
1579 Make sure that files are readable before returning TRUE
1582 Fri Apr 12 03:01:06 EST 2002
1583 Added padding messages with random if maximum
1584 packet size is not reached. All encrypted
1585 packets now look absolutely uniform in size
1586 for a non-participating adversary (before,
1587 a host that had few queries may have sent packets
1588 that were less than the maximum size).
1590 Thu Apr 11 01:43:28 EST 2002
1591 Added sequence numbers to protocol to defend
1592 against replay attacks (bug #185).
1594 Wed Apr 10 02:07:25 EST 2002
1595 Bugfix gnunet-insert-mp3 (endless loop).
1596 Updated documentation.
1598 Mon Apr 8 00:07:15 EST 2002
1599 Fixed endless-loop bug when activemigration is turned
1600 on (during startup).
1602 Fri Apr 5 02:03:13 EST 2002
1605 Fri Apr 5 00:33:42 EST 2002
1606 gnunet-gtk, the gtk+ based GUI is now functional and
1607 has all the features of gnunet-search and gnunet-download,
1608 including boolean queries. In fact, it is a bit better than
1609 gnunet-download as it shows the progress of the download.
1610 The manpage for gnunet-gtk was updated. Minor bugfixes.
1612 Mon Mar 25 02:59:13 EST 2002
1613 Changed writeFile to use a fourth parameter which is the
1614 desired permissions for the file. Files in data/hosts
1615 are now world-readable. Created man pages
1617 Mon Mar 18 17:56:52 EST 2002
1620 Sun Mar 17 10:47:51 EST 2002
1621 Got rid of far too frequent key exchange attempts.
1622 Added expiration for very-long-dead host keys. Stopped
1623 forwarding of expired HELOs (receiver drops anyway).
1625 Wed Mar 14 05:46:20 EST 2002
1626 Fixed some file location inconsistencies. All files are
1627 now in $HOME/GNUnet. RPM installation points to /var/GNUnet
1628 and the config file is ~/GNUnet/gnunet.conf
1629 Finished port to FreeBSD. This included mostly changes
1630 to src/util/statuscalls.c, but also several changes to
1631 the build system. Added a stat() call in the server code
1632 to make sure the config file exists before sending it to
1633 the OpenSSL conf code. Added getopt to source to fix
1634 portability issues. Changed FREEBSD defs to SOMEBSD, also
1635 changed in configure.in. Compiles and works on at least
1636 FreeBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 3.0
1638 Wed Mar 6 23:15:36 EST 2002
1639 Added code for 'fast scan' of the database for
1640 content to discard (should be called partial
1641 scan). This improves the startup-time dramatically.
1642 Every source file got the GNU header.
1644 Tue Mar 5 22:42:36 EST 2002
1645 Added option for *not* participating in content
1646 migration. Added timeout option to gnunet-search.
1647 gnunetd now periodically (1h) scans for new content,
1648 no restarting required.
1650 Mon Mar 4 23:21:51 EST 2002
1651 Optimized routing and content migration. Distance
1652 of the hash to the identity of the local host is
1653 now taken into account for routing. Hosts give
1654 higher priority to content that is close to their
1655 identity (priority towards keeping it). If the
1656 network grows, this should significantly improve
1657 the performance. Also, the choice of the hosts
1658 for routing is now based on proximity (to the
1659 query), the activity level of the host and its
1662 Sun Mar 3 00:14:58 EST 2002
1663 Implemented binary queries ("AND") for gnunet-search.
1664 Made sure that content is not downloaded again if
1665 already present (if there is other content, we
1666 overwrite). Fixed bug in gnunet-download
1667 (uninitialzied time-to-live).
1669 Sat Mar 2 01:57:37 EST 2002
1670 Finished porting the download-code to C. Now files can
1671 be downloaded in using shell commands. No GUI though.
1672 Released GNUnet v0.3.1.
1674 Wed Feb 20 23:47:19 EST 2002
1675 Big CVS moving operation.
1677 Sat Feb 16 23:17:27 EST 2002
1678 Started migration to GNUnet.
1680 Sun Feb 3 01:20:37 EST 2002
1681 Extracted crc32 method from zlib and put only that method into
1682 primitives. Reduces our memory footprint (if nobody else uses
1683 zlib) and we no longer depend no that library (always good).
1685 Sat Feb 2 22:56:32 EST 2002
1686 Building final tarball for v0.3.0.
1688 Wed Jan 30 23:41:04 EST 2002
1689 Created mp32gnet, a tool to automaticall index mp3 files
1690 using information from the mp3 header as keywords (title,
1691 artist, album, comments). The mp3 parsing code comes from
1692 the GPL tool mp3info.
1694 Tue Jan 29 17:36:48 EST 2002
1695 Fixed bug with files that were not closed under certain
1696 circumstances and lead to an exhaustion of the number of
1697 concurrently open files.
1699 Mon Jan 21 23:34:44 EST 2002
1700 Bumping version numbers to v0.3.0 (not yet released, needs some
1701 more testing to be on the safe side).
1703 Sun Jan 20 02:09:06 EST 2002
1704 Content gathering now discards the least important
1705 content in favour of new, more important content (if
1706 there is not space for all content). The cron
1707 management is now used everywhere. The rpm, the init-script
1708 and the gproxy shell script have been revised.
1710 Sun Jan 13 23:17:58 EST 2002
1711 Created cron management, replacing old control
1712 thread (allows for better timing of events).
1713 EvaluateContent now gets the priority of the
1714 query that the content had.
1716 Sun Jan 13 00:54:56 EST 2002
1717 Improved choice in number of hosts to forward
1718 queries to (now dynamic, depending on priority, etc.)
1719 Removed many, many allocations in print statements
1720 which also caused memory leaks if active (see
1722 Added CRC checking of the root node in GProxy. Fixed
1723 problem with CRC in IBlocks for large files.
1724 Added dialog to GProxy to choose where to save the file.
1726 Sat Jan 5 14:25:31 EST 2002
1727 Optimized routing table. Routing table is now a hashtable
1728 (collisions are handled by droping either the former or the
1729 new entry). Each bucket has it's own lock, the global
1730 semaphore is gone. The table has many more entries (we can
1731 afford that now that there is no longer a linear search).
1733 Wed Dec 26 19:30:41 CET 2001
1736 Tue Dec 25 21:24:18 CET 2001
1737 Fixed TTL errors that made queries loop. Added host-evaluation
1738 to policy (drop packets from untrusted hosts under load). Found that CRC-errors
1739 are related to policy decisions ("drop"), cosmetic fix.
1741 Sun Nov 25 08:10:52 EST 2001
1742 Added triple-hash functionality and on-demand encoding (lookup.c).
1744 Sat Nov 24 07:46:10 EST 2001
1745 Added randomized choice of hosts for the hosttable.
1747 Thu Nov 22 04:57:57 EST 2001
1748 Fixed another bunch of big bugs, tested, seems to work smoothly. Creating V0.1.0.
1750 Mon Nov 19 01:22:42 EST 2001:
1751 Fixed biggest (show-stopper) bugs. Creating V0.0.3
1753 Fri Oct 26 02:20:00 EST 2001:
1754 Created ChangeLog. Report important changes here,
1755 report small changes to CVS only.
