<h3>2011-10-17: Recent net growth and pledge to keep router running</h3>
<p>
Due to rusleaks we have recently been experiencing a massive influx of many new routers to I2P and have reached a mark of 12,000 active routers.
This makes the ride a bit bumpy currently, but nothing to worry about. Generally, growth is good for the network and good for your anonymity.
Not all eepsites are currently reachable on first attempt, but we hope that will level out soon.
So, if you are having problems accessing some services, be patient and don't leave straight away!
Leave your I2P router running even when you're not actually using it - ideally run it 24/7!
This helps the network and is good for your own anonymity.
Make sure you're not firewalled and have adjusted your bandwidth settings accordingly.
Performance will then improve with these simple steps of yours.
</p><p>
In the meantime you maybe want to try out <a href="http://echelon.i2p/i2phex">I2Phex</a>,
<a href="http://echelon.i2p/imule">iMule</a> or <a href="http://127.0.0.1:7657/i2psnark/">I2Psnark</a> to make use of the running I2P router?

<h3>2011-10-10: Net growth and soon-to-come update</h3>

Сердечно приветствую наших новых русскоязычных пользователей! (A warm welcome to our new Russian users!)
Due to rusleaks we've recently been experiencing a massive influx of many new routers.
We have now hit the mark of 10,000 and later even the one of 12,000 active routers.
This is currently making the ride a bit bumpy, but all is fine.
This means a growth of the network, which comes accompanied by some growing pains, but it's nothing to worry about.
Generally, growth is good for the network and good for your anonymity.
So if you are having problems accessing some services, be patient.
Not all eepsites are currently reachable on first attempt, but we hope that will level out soon.
So again, be patient, don't leave straight away, and stay tuned for the soon-to-come I2P router update!
</p>
<h3>2011-08-23: <b>0.8.8 <a href="http://www.i2p2.i2p/release-0.8.8.html">Released</a></b></h3>
<p>I2P release 0.8.8 enables the new hosts.txt database to speed hostname lookups
and store additional information on hostname entries.
It also includes improvements to speed a router's integration on startup.
There is new code to detect and react to large clock shifts that should help
a router recover after suspend/resume of the computer.
The 0.8.9 release has several performance improvements, and many changes to handle
the continued rapid growth of the network. It uses a new iterative method for
Kademlia network database lookups that should be more reliable and efficient.
There are also several improvements to our SSU (UDP) transport protocol that
should help reliability and efficiency. We have made several changes to
improve tunnel build success rates. And, of course, there are lots of bug
fixes and translation updates.
</p><p>
There are new translations for Danish and Ukranian and lots of updates in other languages.
Also included are, of course, a large collection of bug fixes, performance improvements,
and updates to deal with the continued rapid expansion of the network.
The network has grown quite rapidly in recent weeks, and that's great news,
but it has caused some instability. We welcome all our new users and we
ask you to be patient as we make improvements to the software.
</p><p>
Please help grow the network.
