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 * DATASTORE is O(n) where it should be O(log n) for some operations
7 * UDP does not work (only messages < 1500 bytes, no fragmentation)
8 * TESTING does not support incremental HELLO changes
9 * TRANSPORT ATS is not used for actual bandwidth assignment,
10 important options to make it truly useful are still missing
11 * NAT traversal partially works for TCP (ICMP-based method only)
12 * MESH does not work (mock API emulates for VPN)
14 * WLAN is experimental
15 * CHAT is experimental, has known bugs and was not reviewed yet
16 * MONKEY is highly experimental
17 * FRAGMENTATION library is not implemented
19 With this release we will finally start with
20 a detailed accounting of changes in the ChangeLog.
22 Thu Dec 23 23:33:05 CET 2010
23 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre2.
25 Thu Oct 7 20:51:05 CEST 2010
26 Removed dependency on GNU MP (GMP). The code now uses the libgcrypt MPI
29 Sat Jul 3 20:47:45 CEST 2010
30 Releasing GNUnet 0.9.0pre1.
32 Wed Jun 23 16:34:38 CEST 2010
33 Added support for systemd-compatible passing of listen-sockets
34 by ARM to services as well as systemd compatibility for gnunet-service-arm
35 itself. At least for non-MINGW systems this should work.
37 Sat Jun 5 18:08:39 CEST 2010
38 Added support for UNIX domain sockets, code also defaults to
41 Sun May 2 13:49:10 CEST 2010
42 Fixed problem with platform-dependence of format for IP addresses
43 in HELLOs for TCP and UDP transport.
44 Reduced address length field in HELLOs to 16 bit (was 32 bit).
45 These changes break transport compatibility.
47 Fri Apr 16 18:19:05 CEST 2010
48 Nearly complete rewrite and new overall architecture. Many
49 features are still missing, but basic system seems to be
50 working again. Maybe time to again track major changes
51 in the ChangeLog. Releasing 0.9.0pre0.
54 Sun Feb 1 19:51:40 MST 2009
55 Fixed Mantis #1429 (struct padding could cause sizeof
56 to be different on AMD64, using gcc-ism "packed" to
59 Sun Feb 1 00:37:16 MST 2009

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

332 Implemented heuristic for better packing of gnunet-directories.
334 Sun Mar 25 13:47:08 MDT 2007
335 Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1c.
337 Wed Feb 28 15:29:05 MST 2007
338 Enabled abortion of gnunet-peer-info with CTRL-C.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

590 Fixed undersynchronization that may result in segv if pending
591 download was cancelled.
593 Mon Aug 22 00:37:11 PDT 2005
594 Made "UPDATE" use a prepared statement in MySQL datastore.
596 Sun Aug 21 23:08:57 PDT 2005
597 Fixed bugs causing unnecessary long delays for downloads from
598 loopback. Also now bypassing routing table for loopback download
599 (faster, avoids pollution of the routing table when not needed).
601 Sun Aug 21 18:42:14 PDT 2005
602 Fixed memory leak in gnunet-insert -R. Improved memory utilization
603 by SQlite dramatically (see discussion on gnunet-developers).
605 Sat Aug 20 21:04:28 PDT 2005
606 Fixed (rare) segmentation fault in insertion code.
608 Sat Aug 20 19:31:10 PDT 2005
609 Yet another tiny bug -- but one that hangs gnunetd; fixed in pre6a.
611 Sat Aug 20 13:51:01 PDT 2005
614 Sat Aug 20 12:51:27 PDT 2005
615 Changed sqlite data format to avoid encoding-decoding
616 (breaks compatibility with previous datastores, in particular
617 since conversion code is NOT provided).
618 The page size was also increased, rendering the database files
621 Thu Aug 18 21:18:28 PDT 2005
622 Made quotations match GNU standards.
624 Wed Aug 17 20:05:19 PDT 2005
625 Fixed bug that would prevent P2P messages from being
626 transmitted under certain (common) circumstances.
628 Mon Aug 15 00:08:47 PDT 2005
629 Bugfest. Fixed various bugs in MySQL, fragmentation,
630 core and fs (see Mantis for more details).
632 Mon Jul 18 01:03:05 CEST 2005
633 Alpha-rename fest. Releasing 0.7.0pre5.
635 Sun Jul 17 13:49:40 CEST 2005
636 Fixed problems with struct alignment on 64-bit
637 AMDs. Fixed recently introduced memory leak.
638 Fixed various compiler warnings.
640 Sat Jul 16 23:55:31 CEST 2005
641 Fixed various minor problems with platforms
642 without gettext/NLS support and for 64-bit size_ts.
643 Also fixed a couple of other compiler warnings.
644 Cleaned up connection.c code.
646 Mon Jul 11 14:41:18 CEST 2005
647 Fixed tiny memory leak in http_bootstrap.
649 Mon Jul 11 02:22:24 CEST 2005
650 Fixed long-standing problems in statuscalls wrt
651 network load estimates, leading to too-high bandwidth
652 consumption on average. Fixed minor memory leaks.
653 Fixed far too often session-key exchange (was done
654 also for sessions that were already up).
656 Thu Jul 7 15:22:21 CEST 2005
657 Fixed bug in identity, missing ntohs for protocol ID.
658 Fixed bug in topology, wrong calculation of saturation.
660 Wed Jul 6 22:34:30 CEST 2005
661 Fixed bugs in core with respect to possible infinite
662 recursion caused by fragmentation callbacks. Also
663 differenciated between fatal transport sends and
664 transient transport sends. Cleanup of some APIs.
666 Sat Jul 2 17:21:07 CEST 2005
667 Fixed bugs in gnunet-pseudonym (listing of namespaces),
668 FSUI (double-free for namespace creation), cleaned up
669 APIs and implemented clearing of completed downloads
670 (FSUI). Releasing 0.7.0pre4.
672 Fri Jul 1 15:08:42 CEST 2005
673 Added statistics for transports and other connection-
674 related functions. Prevented core from dropping
675 messages just because transport is (temporarily)
676 blocked. Made transport selection in identity random
677 again where necessary.
679 Thu Jun 30 20:05:15 CEST 2005
680 Added cache for KBlocks (can speed up insertion speed
681 for recursive inserts quite a bit).
683 Thu Jun 30 13:52:17 CEST 2005
684 Enabled IPv6 by default. Fixed various minor bugs.
686 Tue Jun 28 13:41:58 UTC 2005
687 Fixed various open FIXMEs, including error handling,
688 bad performance and some memory leaks (gnunet-tools
689 only, not in gnunetd).
691 Mon Jun 27 17:21:09 CEST 2005
692 Fixed double-free segfault.
693 Fixed problem with session timeout not happening.
694 Fixed issue with too lazy slot reclaim for reconnect.
695 Made reconnect scanning more incremental (1/10th of
696 the work every 500ms instead of full work every 5s).
697 Fixed memory leak in advertisement processing.
699 Sun Jun 26 18:21:17 CEST 2005
700 Plenty of bugfixes everywhere, gnunet-setup works
701 now. Releasing 0.7.0pre3.
703 Sat Jun 11 11:25:24 EST 2005
704 Fixed various problems with recursive upload
705 (thread stack size too small, wrong filenames
706 passed around, wrong list of filenames updated).
708 Sat Apr 2 01:54:23 EST 2005
709 Various bugfixes, some of them critical (segfaults,
710 protocol errors (resulting in failures to connect),
711 old version of configuration file would be
712 generated if configuration was missing,
713 gnunet-insert would not properly work with multiple
714 keywords (-k and -K options)). Releasing 0.7.0pre2.
716 Thu Mar 31 21:38:06 EST 2005
719 Tue Mar 8 14:45:55 EST 2005
720 OpenSSL cannot fully support SHA-512. Eliminated as an
721 option (not necessary, GPL incompatible, trouble, work
722 to maintain -- in summary: not worth it).
724 Sat Mar 5 00:33:51 EST 2005
725 Changing hash algorithm to SHA-512.
726 Changing symcipher algorithm to AES-256.
728 Sun Feb 27 21:59:31 EST 2005
729 All unit testcases pass. Releasing 0.7.0pre0.
731 Sat Feb 12 17:35:08 EST 2005
732 Fixed mysql-test. Changed MySQL to use prepared statements,
733 avoids conversion (mysql_escape_string) and is faster on the
736 Wed Dec 15 20:47:40 EST 2004
737 Removed support for password encryption of namespace keys.
738 Hardly used and adds hardly any security. Encrypt /home if
739 you need this, would be more effective anyway.
741 Fri Nov 26 06:27:12 EST 2004
742 Sessionkey exchange works now, at least with OpenSSL. There
743 seems to be some quirk in some version of libcrypt with
744 respect to RSA encryption. Anyway, it is a heisenbug (sometimes
745 RSA decryption does not result in what was originally
746 encrypted), but I have the feeling this problem existed
747 already in 0.6.5 -- and it is now detected and does not
750 Tue Nov 23 02:35:50 EST 2004
751 The CVS may look like it's compiling, but that's just because
752 most of the service modules are not even attempted.
753 And without those, nothing will work. But in good news,
754 util, transport and server do compile now.
756 Sun Nov 21 03:53:22 EST 2004
757 Starting to make incompatible changes. Once this is commited
758 to CVS (which will only happen once at least some parts compile
759 again), this version will no longer be compatible with any
760 previously released version of GNUnet (and highly experimental).
761 Do not yet use the new code on-line, do not expect it to work
764 Sun Nov 14 16:49:02 EST 2004
765 Debugged collections, seems to work (not that it looks pretty,
766 but it basically works, the rest is UI work). Fixed deadlock
767 in gnunet-gtk logging. Releasing GNUnet 0.6.5.
769 Thu Nov 4 09:04:48 EST 2004
770 Added (highly experimental) support for collections.
772 Sat Sep 25 22:29:48 EST 2004
773 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4a.
775 Sun Sep 19 23:39:04 EST 2004
776 Various code cleanups and minor bugfixes.
778 Sun Aug 29 15:11:28 IST 2004
779 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4.
781 Tue Aug 24 20:59:14 IST 2004
782 Significant enhancements to namespaces. A namespace can
783 now be annotated with meta-data at the time that it is
786 Sat Aug 21 01:00:06 IST 2004
787 Adding GNU gettext support to configure.
789 Thu Aug 19 01:26:55 IST 2004
790 Migrating gnunet-gtk to GTK 2.0 (tested with 2.4).
792 Mon Aug 16 00:30:59 IST 2004
793 Removed gcry. Added dependency on GNU MP library (libgmp)
796 Tue Aug 3 17:57:43 IST 2004
797 Fixed bugs in gnunet-update. Fixed segfault in AFS startup.
798 Fixed warnings in gnunet-peer-info/gnunetd. Fixed packaging
799 error (not all of util/gcry included in distribution).
800 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3a.
802 Mon Aug 2 20:06:07 IST 2004
803 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3.
805 Sun Aug 1 01:31:19 IST 2004
806 Changed most places from HexName to the new, shorter EncName.
807 Pushed URIs for namespaces and keyword searches into more
808 widespread use. Replaced all occurences of sprintf with
809 SNPRINTF (to obtain extra bounds check).
811 Sun Jul 11 13:54:01 IST 2004
812 Moved testcases for libgnunet_util to util/ directory.
813 Made DB testcases in afs/module/ run for each available
814 database and not just the one configured in /etc/gnunet.conf.
816 Fri Jun 25 21:05:59 IST 2004
817 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2b (resolves various minor bugs).
819 Wed May 5 17:34:39 EST 2004
820 Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2a (resolves libgcrypt and packageing
821 issues, improved gtk-statistics, other minor bugfixes).
823 Fri Apr 30 21:36:23 EST 2004
824 Fixed synchronization problem in cron (only relevant for
825 parallel downloading). Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2.
827 Mon Apr 26 21:13:45 EST 2004
828 Added support to gnunet-check to convert file index database
829 to new design. Removed support for pre 0.6.1b bloomfilter
830 conversion (would have been too messy to support both).
831 Added old-version check to gnunetd startup to make updates
832 more systematic in the future (not perfect, though).
834 Mon Apr 26 19:27:29 EST 2004
835 Recursive insertion of directories with gnunet-gtk
836 now works including the progress bar.
838 Sun Apr 25 18:24:55 EST 2004
839 Global changes to fix bug #698. The fix is still
840 incomplete with respect to pthread.h specific structs.
842 Sun Apr 25 15:20:29 EST 2004
843 Fixed compile error in IPv6 transports.
845 Fri Apr 23 23:38:01 EST 2004
846 Added recursive insertion of directories to gnunet-gtk.
847 Progress-bar does not work yet, also libextractor is
848 always used (no option to turn it off).
850 Fri Apr 23 21:49:18 EST 2004
851 Removed need to specify _protocol in configuration file
854 Wed Apr 21 23:32:36 EST 2004
855 Added code to bound priority used by clients by twice the
856 average priority of requests from other peers that are
857 routed at the moment. That prevents clients from exposing
858 themselves with excessively high priorities (and also
859 avoids giving too much credit/trust needlessly).
861 Tue Apr 20 22:27:19 EST 2004
862 Added possibility of using a link instead of making a copy
863 if gnunetd and the insert-client both run on the same machine.
865 Tue Apr 20 00:00:58 EST 2004
866 Added network transparency for indexing files (by copying
867 them to a GNUnet(d) specific directory). This breaks
868 unindexing (for files indexed with previous versions) and
869 forces the user to make a copy of the file. In the near
870 future we should resolve this problem by allowing the use
873 Sun Apr 18 17:24:34 EST 2004
874 Adding recursive, parallel download of directories to
877 Sun Apr 18 01:57:32 EST 2004
878 gnunet-transport-check can now be used to check
879 external connectivity (with other peers).
881 Sat Apr 17 17:46:19 EST 2004
882 Reduced memory consuption for AFS insertion and
885 Sat Apr 10 21:17:46 EST 2004
886 Implemented statistics-plot in gnunet-gtk based on
887 gnome-system-monitor code.
889 Fri Apr 9 22:01:51 EST 2004
890 Added support for libextractor > 0.2.7.
892 Fri Apr 9 0:29:20 EST 2004
893 Completed --help conversion.
895 Wed Mar 31 15:40:51 EST 2004
898 Tue Mar 30 22:42:13 EST 2004
899 Integrated gnunet-pseudonym-create, -delete and -list into
900 gnunet-pseudonym as well as gnunet-directory-list, -emptydb
901 and -print into gnunet-directory.
903 Tue Mar 2 10:46:01 EST 2004
904 Fixing bug preventing download for indexed files <= 1k.
906 Sat Feb 28 03:43:34 EST 2004
909 Sat Feb 21 06:16:47 EST 2004
910 Modified requestmanager to improve performance at the end of the
913 Thu Feb 19 00:48:33 EST 2004
914 Fixed integer underflow possibly causing slow download performance.
916 Sun Feb 15 15:17:05 EST 2004
917 Fixed weak key failures with libgcrypt.
919 Sun Feb 15 13:14:44 EST 2004
920 New routing code (untested) commited.
922 Sun Feb 15 11:58:10 EST 2004
923 Fixing problem with 64-bit size_t on alpha (#655).
925 Sat Jan 31 04:32:33 EST 2004
928 Fri Jan 23 00:00:09 EST 2004
929 Fixed indexed content being overwritten by migrated content
931 Thu Jan 22 19:27:33 EST 2004
932 Fixed integer-overflow problems in statuscalls.
933 Fixed missing ttl/priority adjustment for NS-Queries.
934 Fixed bug in routing that would let very old queries survive.
936 Thu Jan 15 23:14:54 EST 2004
937 Fixed size of super-bloomfilter (was factor of 32 to small).
938 Fixed option -r of gnunet-check (would not increment bloom filters
939 to appropriate value).
941 Wed Dec 31 17:07:40 EST 2003
942 Fixed various routing and bandwidth allocation problems.
945 Wed Dec 24 00:00:00 EST 2003
948 Fri Dec 19 00:57:29 EST 2003
949 NAT transport passes tests.
951 Sat Dec 13 00:16:41 EST 2003
954 Thu Oct 16 19:20:29 EST 2003
955 Added greedy knapsack heuristic for use by CPU-overloaded
958 Mon Oct 13 22:36:45 EST 2003
959 Improved gnunet-gtk code that forks of gnunetd (some extra checking,
960 use fork-exec instead of system(), pass configuration file as
963 Sun Oct 12 03:42:55 EST 2003
964 Split bandwidth montoring into up and downstream.
965 Why stop sending replies merely because we *receive* traffic!?
966 Also reduced frequency of HELO exchange.
967 Added more statistics (traffic by type).
969 Fri Oct 10 02:05:13 EST 2003
970 Fixed bug that wasted a lot of CPU time.
971 Better CPU usage control by making knapsack
972 solving (frequency and problem size) dependent
975 Thu Oct 9 14:29:35 EST 2003
978 Sun Oct 5 21:35:23 EST 2003
979 GNUnet 0.6.0 released.
981 Sat Oct 4 12:54:55 EST 2003
982 Fixed bug in timer code (discovered in testcase).
983 Added extensive testcases for platform dependent code.
985 Fri Sep 19 01:38:00 EST 2003
986 Added code to allow namespace queries to return multiple
987 results. Updates are now displayed in separate tabs.
989 Wed Sep 17 23:54:15 EST 2003
990 Migrated libgcrypt code in util to comply with
991 libgcrypt 1.1.43 (and it passes the tests just fine)
993 Wed Sep 17 22:59:16 EST 2003
994 Fixed problems with updates in namespaces in the GTK code.
995 Added boolean search capability (x AND y) to GTK search.
996 Made namespace search frequency respect TTL delays.
998 Thu Aug 21 19:42:57 EST 2003
999 GNUnet 0.5.5 released.
1001 Tue Aug 12 20:48:39 EST 2003
1002 Support for namespaces with updates is there,
1003 but requires testing.
1005 Sun Jul 27 14:48:19 EST 2003
1006 Added download summary window to gnunet-gtk.
1008 Fri Jul 25 14:15:37 CET 2003
1009 Unioned gnunet-insert-multi and gnunet-insert-sblock
1012 Thu Jun 26 23:22:12 EST 2003
1013 Added draft support for directories.
1015 Thu Jun 26 23:21:41 EST 2003
1016 GNUnet 0.5.4a released
1018 Sat Jun 14 19:21:41 EST 2003
1019 Added support for HTTP-PROXY to download the hostlist.
1021 Wed May 29 01:13:15 EST 2003
1022 Fixing some ugly bugs in connection.c that caused
1023 permanent connection-drop and connection-establish
1024 cycles (every 5 minutes).
1026 Sat May 24 03:12:42 EST 2003
1027 Migrated subset of libgcrypt into GNUnet tree to use
1028 it instead of OpenSSL or libgcrypt. RSA in the new
1029 code is broken at the moment.
1031 Sun May 18 04:10:25 EST 2003
1032 GNUnet 0.5.4 released.
1034 Sat May 10 21:39:35 EST 2003
1035 Only download hostlist after a while if we were
1036 not able to connect (to reduce load on hostlist
1039 Fri May 2 23:20:15 EST 2003
1040 Added code to handle massive collisions in datastore
1041 (thousands of files under the same keyword).
1043 Sun Apr 27 23:52:12 EST 2003
1044 GNUnet 0.5.3 released.
1046 Wed Apr 23 03:20:21 EST 2003
1047 Build system cleanup, location of mysql, gdbm, tdb and
1048 db can now be specified.
1050 Mon Apr 21 01:54:24 EST 2003
1051 Made random content selection with pIdx faster
1052 (do not read entire pidx files) and fully random
1053 (added code to weigh pidx files by number of entries).
1055 Sun Apr 20 23:25:45 EST 2003
1056 Fixed double-free in TCP transport code (seems to have
1057 only had a real chance to occur under BSD in practice).
1059 Sat Apr 19 14:42:37 EST 2003
1060 Replaced use of dlopen for plugins with the more
1061 portable ltdl from libtool.
1063 Thu Apr 17 20:36:42 EST 2003
1064 Added synchronization to pIdx, also use truncate
1065 to remove last n entries instead of re-writing the
1066 entire file (much, much faster).
1068 Mon Apr 7 00:00:07 EST 2003
1069 Implemented gnunet-delete.
1071 Sat Apr 5 15:55:31 EST 2003
1072 Made directory database use 256 sub-directories
1073 (should increase speed a lot, with the new DB
1074 manager, this will result in at most 2048
1075 files per directory).
1077 Mon Mar 31 16:51:24 EST 2003
1078 gnunet-convert and gnunet-check compile again
1079 with the new DB code.
1081 Sun Mar 30 13:14:52 CET 2003
1082 Added BSD DB (libdb) support.
1084 Sun Mar 23 04:04:38 EST 2003
1085 Big gnunet-gtk cleanup.
1087 Tue Mar 18 01:52:18 EST 2003
1090 Sun Mar 16 20:24:24 EST 2003
1091 Caching of RSA signatures for HELOs reduced CPU
1092 usage dramatically, from an average of 31% to less
1093 than 5% on my machine.
1095 Sun Mar 16 01:21:16 EST 2003
1096 Fixed locking problem and problem with TCP transport
1097 (bad set of sockets in select).
1099 Sat Mar 15 03:02:42 EST 2003
1100 Fixed bug that copied wrong content (garbage) into
1101 replies for other peers. This one was introduced
1102 briefly before 0.5.2. Argh.
1104 Fri Feb 28 00:23:02 EST 2003
1105 Fixed segfault in gnunet-gtk when closing search
1108 Thu Feb 27 16:23:20 EST 2003
1109 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.2.
1111 Mon Feb 24 00:28:52 EST 2003
1112 Cleaning up the AFS routing code, also some tweaks
1113 to improve anonymity against an active attacker.
1115 Thu Feb 20 23:51:30 EST 2003
1116 gnunet-tracekit works now nicely (and with dot).
1117 Also, GNUnet now attempts to locate a configuration
1118 file in /etc/gnunet.conf if ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf
1119 does not exist (and nothing is specified on the
1122 Wed Feb 12 23:21:44 EST 2003
1123 Fixed deadlock between pingpong and connection
1126 Tue Feb 4 13:22:09 EST 2003
1127 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.1(a).
1129 Tue Feb 4 04:05:58 EST 2003
1130 RSA encryption of OpenSSL has been changed to pure
1131 PKCS #1 to achieve compatibility with libgcrypt.
1133 Mon Feb 3 18:46:54 EST 2003
1134 RSA signature encoding has been changed from raw
1135 to PKCS #1 compatible encoding. This should help
1136 making the migration to libgcrypt easier in the
1137 future. RSA & libgcrypt are still not friends,
1138 but the GNUnet code should be mostly there.
1140 Fri Jan 31 10:40:01 EST 2003
1141 gnunet-peer-info tool was added. This tool can
1142 prints information about all known peers and may
1143 be useful for diagnostics.
1145 Mon Jan 20 17:54:51 EST 2003
1146 A large number of memory leaks got fixed thanks
1147 to the new automated scripts to find them.
1149 Thu Jan 16 00:49:20 EST 2003
1150 Nearly finished removing dependencies on OpenSSL
1151 (using libgcrypt instead), $FOO-expansion in
1152 configuration parsing and RSA (public key crypto)
1153 are the only missing pieces.
1155 Mon Jan 13 01:53:45 EST 2003
1156 Fixed deadlock in gnunetd (would stop processing
1159 Sun Dec 27 13:34:11 CET 2002
1160 Fixed segmentation fault that occured when number
1161 of known peers goes over 128.
1163 Sat Dec 21 16:27:11 CET 2002
1164 Releasing GNUnet 0.5.0.
1166 Sat Dec 14 03:47:05 CET 2002
1167 Bugfixes over bugfixes. Various memory leaks
1168 from gnunetd to gnunet-download, problems
1169 with bloomfilters and gnunet-check, enforcing
1170 storage limitations set by the user, fixes
1171 in the UDP, TCP and SMTP transports;
1172 better thread termination (avoid asynchronous
1173 cancellation). Not to mention the new
1174 tools gnunet-transport-check and gnunet-tbench
1175 for the evaulation of correctness and performance
1176 of the transport services.
1178 Wed Nov 6 22:49:24 EST 2002
1179 Added load smoothing for network and CPU load
1180 such that we quickly adapt to increasing load,
1181 but slowly reduce the (effective) load value
1182 used in the policy if the load drops. This should
1183 help avoiding 0-1 policies where we always jump
1184 up and down between 100% load and no load, letting
1185 in one period all traffic through and in the next
1188 Wed Nov 6 00:31:39 EST 2002
1189 Added port==0 for UDP and TCP transport as an
1190 option to indicate that the transport is to be
1191 used only to establish connections to other
1192 peers but not as a server-socket (that is,
1193 if the port is 0, other GNUnet peers can not
1194 connect to the local node's UDP or TCP port,
1195 but the local node can still use UDP
1196 (unidirectional) or TCP (even bi-directional)
1197 to talk to other peers. This is useful if a
1198 node is behind a NAT box and can not receive
1199 inbound traffic but is able to send messages to
1200 other peers (and in the case of TCP even receive
1201 messages if the local peer initiated the
1202 bi-directional connection). Currently, a peer
1203 must always provide at least one transport under
1204 which the peer can be "actively" reached since
1205 otherwise other peers will not keep the public
1206 key of that peer and thus not be able to
1207 complete the session key exchange. For NAT-box
1208 peers, SMTP might be a viable choice for that
1211 Fri Oct 11 02:16:42 EST 2002
1212 Added bloomfilter interface and calls to the BF from
1213 the AFS service implementation. Missing for working
1214 bloomfilter are calls from gnunet-insert to update
1215 the bloom-filter (top-CHK and super-queries) and the
1216 actual bloom-filter implementation.
1218 Tue Oct 8 20:35:45 EST 2002
1219 TCP transport now works with only one thread (using
1220 select) instead of one thread per peer-connection.
1222 Fri Sep 27 02:24:52 EST 2002
1223 New content encoding (still only 1k blocks, but with
1224 CHK style IBocks and GBlocks for aggressive content
1225 migration) now seems to work.
1227 Mon Sep 16 01:57:55 EST 2002
1228 Implemented gnunet-chat, a demo-application for
1229 how to develop p2p applications on top of GNUnet.
1231 Sun Sep 15 22:48:28 EST 2002
1232 Fixing (long standing) problem with segfaults under BSD
1233 due to stack overflow in threads.
1235 Sun Sep 15 02:04:52 EST 2002
1236 TCP transport layer implementation seems to work now.
1237 gnunet.conf is now documented on the web. HELO exchange
1238 is fixed, so is the CS-connection whitelisting.
1240 Fri Sep 13 00:51:01 EST 2002
1241 Update on the progress towards 0.4.9. What is missing?
1242 * new content encoding to facilitate:
1244 - discriminated routing (downloads vs. searches)
1245 - variable blocksize (?)
1246 - self-synchronizing stream encoding (?)
1247 * additional transport layers (SMTP, TCP, HTTP)
1248 * demo application (chat) for how to use the API
1249 * documentation on new gnunet.conf
1251 - Igor reports, HELO exchange is broken
1252 - David reports, CS-connection whitelisting is broken
1253 - rpm.spec is outdated (add GNUnet's dynamic libraries)
1255 What has been resolved so far:
1257 * transport and application layer have been abstracted
1258 * dynamic loading of transports and applications is
1260 * routing much faster since slots are freed earlier
1261 * querymanager is more intelligent in where to send
1262 queries (presumably, not tested)
1265 * configuration can store options from commandline
1266 * statistics is totally dynamic and can be extended
1267 * connection buffer does callbacks on applications to
1268 fill buffers with queries instead of noise, and
1269 the querymanager makes use of this
1273 * gnettypes.h is gone
1274 * AFS specific code is all in AFS
1275 * renaming is also done
1277 Sun Aug 25 15:30:56 EST 2002
1278 Moving work towards 0.4.9 to CVS. The major goals are:
1279 * independent transport layer (UDP, TCP, SMTP, HTTP,
1280 any of these should be possible in the future); also,
1281 the MTU may be defined differently by any one of them.
1282 * independent application layer. Anonymous File Sharing
1283 (AFS) should just be one application for the GNUnet
1286 Other minor goals and refactorings include:
1287 * configuration - we should be able to update dynamically
1288 options from the gnunet.conf file. E.g. by adding options
1289 from the command line
1290 * statistics - we should not have a hardwired fixed set
1291 of datapoints, the statistics module should be useful
1292 for any kind of statistics
1293 * noise reduction - the connection buffer should allow
1294 the use of intelligent applications that get notified
1295 if noise would be send and then can plug in useful data
1297 And then there is just moving stuff:
1298 * move "common/" to where it belongs (either applications
1300 * gnettypes is bad if we want to seperate app specifcs
1301 and core. The typedefs should be placed where they are
1303 * database does not belong in util, it's AFS specific
1304 * AFS: cleaner separation between database, encoding,
1305 protocol implementation, shell-tools and GUI code.
1307 And finally, renaming:
1308 * if we have TCP for peer-to-peer communications,
1309 we can't use "TCP" vs. "UDP" to distinguish p2p from
1310 client-server, thus: "UDP" becomes "p2p" and "TCP"
1311 becomes "CS". At least where they were used to distinguish
1312 node-to-node and client-server (gnunetd).
1314 Sun Aug 25 15:02:31 EST 2002
1315 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.6.
1317 Thu Aug 22 01:31:21 EEST 2002
1318 gnunet-gtk should now be able to perform multiple
1319 search and download operations simultaneously (atleast a couple).
1321 Tue Aug 20 23:11:10 EEST 2002
1322 Fixed segfault in gnunet-search and gnunet-gtk which appeared
1323 when there was lots of results.
1324 Modified gnunetd to return more results at once if there
1325 is excess bandwidth.
1327 Sun Aug 18 23:57:10 EST 2002
1328 Reworked the lookup-database. The old database got
1329 into trouble storing data when it was 6% full. Some
1330 simulations show that the new approach should manage
1331 94% and should be about as fast (more CPU, presumably
1332 slightly fewer random disc accesses).
1333 This change is INCOMPATIBLE with 0.4.5. You *must*
1334 run "gnunet-check -a" before starting this new version
1335 of gnunetd in order to migrate to the new format. For
1336 database simulation and statistical numbers, see
1337 also src/historical/simula.c.
1339 Fri Aug 16 17:07:15 EST 2002
1340 Releasing GNUnet 0.4.5.
1342 Fri Aug 16 16:43:39 EST 2002
1343 Added feature that will allow the specification of
1344 multiple URLs for downloading the initial hostlist.
1346 Mon Aug 12 02:28:14 EST 2002
1347 Fixed big problem in requestmanager that would
1348 make downloads *very* slow for no good reason
1349 at all (ttl increment in wrong place would make
1350 us defer the next request for more than twice
1351 as long as needed, plus some other minor bugs).
1353 Mon Aug 12 01:31:03 EST 2002
1354 Fixed bug #347 (option "-H" to gnunet-clients for
1355 connecting to a remote gnunetd node).
1357 Mon Aug 12 01:10:17 EST 2002
1358 Fixed bug #348 (no more scan of the entire database
1359 on startup, instead the databases (gdbm, tdb) contain
1360 an entry that gives the nubmer of entries). Note that
1361 this is not done for contentdatabase_directory.
1363 Sun Aug 11 17:00:03 EEST 2002
1364 Crude file insertion capabilities added to gnunet-gtk gui.
1366 Thu Aug 8 19:13:34 EST 2002
1367 Added progress bar / printing of insertion status to
1368 gnunet-insert (option "-V").
1370 Thu Aug 8 19:02:33 EST 2002
1371 Cleaning up code (establishing sessions, etc.)
1373 Thu Aug 8 18:03:05 EST 2002
1374 Fixed bug #343 (overflow in stats) by moving to
1375 long long. Let's hope that __BYTE_ORDER is
1376 actually defined outside of netinet/in.h.
1378 Thu Aug 8 17:47:17 EST 2002
1379 Fixed gnunetd segfaulting if gnunet.conf is not
1380 available. Also, recvfrom returning -1 with
1381 errno == EAGAIN was fixed earlier.
1383 Wed Jul 31 23:38:36 EST 2002
1386 Wed Jul 31 21:35:53 EST 2002
1387 Fixed bug with TCP connection that would not
1388 free thread resources and eventually lead to
1389 gnunetd not being able to start new threads
1390 anymore (mantis: #339).
1392 Tue Jul 30 23:38:51 EST 2002
1393 Fixed SIGHUP exiting. The main loop was exiting
1394 because recvfrom returned -1 with errno EINTR,
1395 which caused us to break out of the main loop.
1396 Also added gnunetd.pid file to simplify killing
1397 (or re-reading configuration of) the server.
1398 You must specify the PIDFILE in gnunet.conf!
1400 Tue Jul 30 20:38:47 EST 2002
1401 Started writing code to enable re-reading of the
1402 configuration file whenever we receive a SIGHUP.
1403 Works, except that after we've read the new
1404 config file, gnunetd exits (unknown why).
1406 Mon Jul 29 18:52:23 EST 2002
1407 Added shutdown code that terminates connection when
1408 SIGTERM is received (to avoid keeping lots of UDP
1409 traffic for the next couple of minutes from hosts
1410 that still believe we're up).
1412 Sat Jul 27 12:39:47 EST 2002
1413 Added code to measure network load asymmetrically (useful
1416 Fri Jul 26 22:46:54 EST 2002
1419 Wed Jul 24 21:13:08 EST 2002
1420 Fixed bug in locking and segfault (Linux tolerated,
1421 BSD crashed, both in connection.c), added logging service.
1423 Tue Jul 23 00:41:17 EST 2002
1424 Made gnunetd fork like a nice deamon should. Also
1425 started to add a logging service.
1427 Sun Jul 21 20:39:20 EST 2002
1428 Fixed issue with check_database (index checking too
1429 strict if content is available in database and
1430 on-demand encoded; also a bounds check was missing).
1432 Sun Jul 21 16:05:20 EST 2002
1433 Fixed deadlock in heloexchange (knownhost requires
1436 Sun Jul 21 02:02:32 EST 2002
1437 Improved routing table. Now does more dynamic memory
1438 allocation, reducing the fixed-size per slot from 700
1439 to 56 bytes. Increased number of slots from 512 to
1440 8092 (which is the optimal number for a 56 kbps
1443 Sat Jul 20 23:57:06 EST 2002
1444 Fixed bug that caused problems for files
1445 that were indexed and that had spaces in
1448 Wed Jul 17 22:50:24 EST 2002
1449 Fixed bug that prohibited a transitive HELO exchange
1452 Wed Jul 17 01:48:44 EST 2002
1453 Fixed a couple of bugs in gnunet-check and the
1454 insertion-tools. Now gnunet-check seems to run like
1455 a charm. Running it to detect and fix problems in
1456 the GNUnet databases seems now recommendable :-).
1457 Note that you must stop gnunetd before running
1460 Mon Jul 15 22:27:45 EST 2002
1461 Added return values for insertion. If we run out of
1462 space (in particular for the fixed-size index
1463 database), we can now communicate the problem to the
1465 gnunet-check is now pretty much feature-complete,
1466 but it takes of course very, very long to run. There
1467 is now also a man-page for gnunet-check.
1469 Thu Jul 11 11:33:34 EST 2002
1470 Added randomized order of blocks for the download
1471 (patch by I. Wronsky).
1473 Thu Jun 20 21:13:21 EST 2002
1474 Added HANGUP, a message send if one side terminates the connection.
1475 Sending the message is optional, but it is nicer to have it. Also
1476 started on gnunet-check, a tool to check database consistency.
1478 Thu Jun 20 03:11:01 EST 2002
1479 Improved handling of collisions in the hashes in the
1480 lookup module (uses no longer a linear scan on the
1481 collisions file but a hashtable for the collisions!).
1483 Tue Jun 18 20:29:38 EST 2002
1484 Released GNUnet 0.4.2.
1486 Tue Jun 18 20:20:55 EST 2002
1487 Fixed bugs in blacklisting IPs. Added feature to allow specification
1488 which networks are trusted enough to connect to the trusted TCP
1489 port (TCP/2086 no longer needs to be firewalled!).
1491 Tue Jun 18 02:35:53 EST 2002
1492 Fixed problems with ttl (negative TTL queries were forwarded),
1493 also better flushing of buffers and fewer SKEY exchanges due to
1494 a now working implementation of the blacklist. A DNS lookup for
1495 the NAT-box-IP configuration was also added.
1497 Sun Jun 16 04:11:01 EST 2002
1498 Added code to provide statistics (gnunet-stats).
1501 Sun Jun 9 22:56:02 EST 2002
1502 Released GNUnet 0.4.1.
1504 Sat Jun 8 05:00:36 EST 2002
1505 Several small bugfixes (list of shared files not updated on
1506 insertion, highest-bit of trust not interpreted as dirty,
1507 rpm dependency on libextractor added.
1508 Also many improvments to the build process.
1510 Wed Jun 5 17:01:58 EST 2002
1511 Made sure that HELOs don't trigger Ping-Pong if we don't
1512 really learn anything new.
1514 Tue Jun 4 17:17:45 EST 2002
1515 The port numbers were not in network-byte order. Fixing
1516 this is trivial, but it breaks compatibility with 0.4.0.
1517 Thanks to Rick Kennell for reporting the endianess issue.
1519 Mon Jun 3 20:35:47 EST 2002
1520 Fixed bug with CRC not endian-converted in gnunet-gtk.
1521 Added mimetype and filename support to gnunet-gtk.
1523 Sun Jun 2 03:52:18 EST 2002
1526 Sat Jun 1 22:13:12 EST 2002
1527 Added three-way handshake for SKEY exchange. Not tested.
1529 Sat Jun 1 16:55:18 EST 2002
1530 Fixed potential DDoS problem where malicious hosts could
1531 trick GNUnet servers to repeatedly probe a non-partitipating host
1532 trying to establish a connection. I wonder how many other
1533 p2p systems are vulnerable. (Fix: after HELO, play PING-PONG).
1534 The endianess issues should be fixed throughout the system, but
1535 not tested on a real machine so far.
1537 Sat May 25 15:55:11 EST 2002
1538 Moved to new CVS server. First changes towards 0.4.0:
1540 * insert/index via TCP
1541 * bugfixes (mostly performance)
1543 Sat May 18 16:00:06 EST 2002
1544 Added mimetype, filename and version number to RootNodes
1545 (mostly incompatible change!). Added automatic generic keyword
1546 and mime-type extraction via libextractor to gnunet-insert.
1548 Tue May 14 23:59:40 EST 2002
1549 New storage database is starting to look good. We can now store
1550 the data in a directory (one file per block), a gdbm database,
1551 and presumably (not tested) in a tdb database.
1553 Sat May 11 22:10:56 EST 2002
1554 Completed, deployed and tested the new TCPIO code. This changes
1555 the gnunetd-client protocol. Essentially, we convert the TCP stream
1556 into records with a length and type header. This should allow us
1557 to fix bug #212 and add other features in the future. The current
1558 change is really only changing the core TCP code and not anything
1559 around it. We should deploy some demultiplexing code later.
1561 Tue May 7 20:56:40 EST 2002
1562 Added IP blacklisting (for virtual private networks).
1564 Sat May 4 14:08:23 EST 2002
1565 Fixed bug with bad insertion of files smaller than 1k.
1567 Fri May 3 23:25:16 EST 2002
1568 Added IP change detection (useful for dialup) [bug #272].
1569 Added code to ensure that a HELO is life instantly
1570 after receiving it, fixing the 'unknown host,
1571 refusing SKEY problem' (bug #273). Other minor
1572 bugfixes (#274, #283).
1574 Sun Apr 14 22:36:03 EST 2002
1575 Added option to allow NAT boxes not to exchange
1576 foreign HELOs and thus expose the private
1577 network. Fixed bug that all other hosts should
1578 in fact do this exchange.
1580 Sat Apr 13 11:02:59 EST 2002
1581 Make sure that files are readable before returning TRUE
1584 Fri Apr 12 03:01:06 EST 2002
1585 Added padding messages with random if maximum
1586 packet size is not reached. All encrypted
1587 packets now look absolutely uniform in size
1588 for a non-participating adversary (before,
1589 a host that had few queries may have sent packets
1590 that were less than the maximum size).
1592 Thu Apr 11 01:43:28 EST 2002
1593 Added sequence numbers to protocol to defend
1594 against replay attacks (bug #185).
1596 Wed Apr 10 02:07:25 EST 2002
1597 Bugfix gnunet-insert-mp3 (endless loop).
1598 Updated documentation.
1600 Mon Apr 8 00:07:15 EST 2002
1601 Fixed endless-loop bug when activemigration is turned
1602 on (during startup).
1604 Fri Apr 5 02:03:13 EST 2002
1607 Fri Apr 5 00:33:42 EST 2002
1608 gnunet-gtk, the gtk+ based GUI is now functional and
1609 has all the features of gnunet-search and gnunet-download,
1610 including boolean queries. In fact, it is a bit better than
1611 gnunet-download as it shows the progress of the download.
1612 The manpage for gnunet-gtk was updated. Minor bugfixes.
1614 Mon Mar 25 02:59:13 EST 2002
1615 Changed writeFile to use a fourth parameter which is the
1616 desired permissions for the file. Files in data/hosts
1617 are now world-readable. Created man pages
1619 Mon Mar 18 17:56:52 EST 2002
1622 Sun Mar 17 10:47:51 EST 2002
1623 Got rid of far too frequent key exchange attempts.
1624 Added expiration for very-long-dead host keys. Stopped
1625 forwarding of expired HELOs (receiver drops anyway).
1627 Wed Mar 14 05:46:20 EST 2002
1628 Fixed some file location inconsistencies. All files are
1629 now in $HOME/GNUnet. RPM installation points to /var/GNUnet
1630 and the config file is ~/GNUnet/gnunet.conf
1631 Finished port to FreeBSD. This included mostly changes
1632 to src/util/statuscalls.c, but also several changes to
1633 the build system. Added a stat() call in the server code
1634 to make sure the config file exists before sending it to
1635 the OpenSSL conf code. Added getopt to source to fix
1636 portability issues. Changed FREEBSD defs to SOMEBSD, also
1637 changed in configure.in. Compiles and works on at least
1638 FreeBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 3.0
1640 Wed Mar 6 23:15:36 EST 2002
1641 Added code for 'fast scan' of the database for
1642 content to discard (should be called partial
1643 scan). This improves the startup-time dramatically.
1644 Every source file got the GNU header.
1646 Tue Mar 5 22:42:36 EST 2002
1647 Added option for *not* participating in content
1648 migration. Added timeout option to gnunet-search.
1649 gnunetd now periodically (1h) scans for new content,
1650 no restarting required.
1652 Mon Mar 4 23:21:51 EST 2002
1653 Optimized routing and content migration. Distance
1654 of the hash to the identity of the local host is
1655 now taken into account for routing. Hosts give
1656 higher priority to content that is close to their
1657 identity (priority towards keeping it). If the
1658 network grows, this should significantly improve
1659 the performance. Also, the choice of the hosts
1660 for routing is now based on proximity (to the
1661 query), the activity level of the host and its
1664 Sun Mar 3 00:14:58 EST 2002
1665 Implemented binary queries ("AND") for gnunet-search.
1666 Made sure that content is not downloaded again if
1667 already present (if there is other content, we
1668 overwrite). Fixed bug in gnunet-download
1669 (uninitialzied time-to-live).
1671 Sat Mar 2 01:57:37 EST 2002
1672 Finished porting the download-code to C. Now files can
1673 be downloaded in using shell commands. No GUI though.
1674 Released GNUnet v0.3.1.
1676 Wed Feb 20 23:47:19 EST 2002
1677 Big CVS moving operation.
1679 Sat Feb 16 23:17:27 EST 2002
1680 Started migration to GNUnet.
1682 Sun Feb 3 01:20:37 EST 2002
1683 Extracted crc32 method from zlib and put only that method into
1684 primitives. Reduces our memory footprint (if nobody else uses
1685 zlib) and we no longer depend no that library (always good).
1687 Sat Feb 2 22:56:32 EST 2002
1688 Building final tarball for v0.3.0.
1690 Wed Jan 30 23:41:04 EST 2002
1691 Created mp32gnet, a tool to automaticall index mp3 files
1692 using information from the mp3 header as keywords (title,
1693 artist, album, comments). The mp3 parsing code comes from
1694 the GPL tool mp3info.
1696 Tue Jan 29 17:36:48 EST 2002
1697 Fixed bug with files that were not closed under certain
1698 circumstances and lead to an exhaustion of the number of
1699 concurrently open files.
1701 Mon Jan 21 23:34:44 EST 2002
1702 Bumping version numbers to v0.3.0 (not yet released, needs some
1703 more testing to be on the safe side).
1705 Sun Jan 20 02:09:06 EST 2002
1706 Content gathering now discards the least important
1707 content in favour of new, more important content (if
1708 there is not space for all content). The cron
1709 management is now used everywhere. The rpm, the init-script
1710 and the gproxy shell script have been revised.
1712 Sun Jan 13 23:17:58 EST 2002
1713 Created cron management, replacing old control
1714 thread (allows for better timing of events).
1715 EvaluateContent now gets the priority of the
1716 query that the content had.
1718 Sun Jan 13 00:54:56 EST 2002
1719 Improved choice in number of hosts to forward
1720 queries to (now dynamic, depending on priority, etc.)
1721 Removed many, many allocations in print statements
1722 which also caused memory leaks if active (see
1724 Added CRC checking of the root node in GProxy. Fixed
1725 problem with CRC in IBlocks for large files.
1726 Added dialog to GProxy to choose where to save the file.
1728 Sat Jan 5 14:25:31 EST 2002
1729 Optimized routing table. Routing table is now a hashtable
1730 (collisions are handled by droping either the former or the
1731 new entry). Each bucket has it's own lock, the global
1732 semaphore is gone. The table has many more entries (we can
1733 afford that now that there is no longer a linear search).
1735 Wed Dec 26 19:30:41 CET 2001
1738 Tue Dec 25 21:24:18 CET 2001
1739 Fixed TTL errors that made queries loop. Added host-evaluation
1740 to policy (drop packets from untrusted hosts under load). Found that CRC-errors
1741 are related to policy decisions ("drop"), cosmetic fix.
1743 Sun Nov 25 08:10:52 EST 2001
1744 Added triple-hash functionality and on-demand encoding (lookup.c).
1746 Sat Nov 24 07:46:10 EST 2001
1747 Added randomized choice of hosts for the hosttable.
1749 Thu Nov 22 04:57:57 EST 2001
1750 Fixed another bunch of big bugs, tested, seems to work smoothly. Creating V0.1.0.
1752 Mon Nov 19 01:22:42 EST 2001:
1753 Fixed biggest (show-stopper) bugs. Creating V0.0.3
1755 Fri Oct 26 02:20:00 EST 2001:
