This is the first release signed by me (str4d), after 49 releases +signed by zzz. This is an important test of our redundancy for all things, +including people. +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +Housekeeping +============ +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +My signing key has been in router updates for over two years (since 0.9.9), so +if you are on a recent version of I2P this update should be just as easy as +every other update. However, if you are running an older version than 0.9.9, you +will first need to manually update to a recent version. Update files for recent +versions `can be downloaded here`_, and instructions on how to manually update +`are provided here`_. Once you have manually updated, your router will then find +and download the 0.9.23 update as usual. +{%- endtrans %} + +.. _{% trans %}`can be downloaded here`{% endtrans %}: https://download.i2p2.de/releases/ + +.. _{% trans %}`are provided here`{% endtrans %}: {{ get_url('downloads_list') }}#update + +{% trans -%} +If you installed I2P via a package manager, you are not affected by the change, +and can update as usual. +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +Update details +============== +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +The migration of RouterInfos to new, stronger Ed25519 signatures is going well, +with at least half of the network already estimated to have rekeyed. This +release accelerates the rekeying process. To reduce network churn, your router +will have a small probability of converting to Ed25519 at each restart. When it +does rekey, expect to see lower bandwidth usage for a couple of days as it +reintegrates into the network with its new identity. +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +Note that this will be the last release to support Java 6. Please update to +Java 7 or 8 as soon as possible. We are already working to make I2P compatible +with the upcoming Java 9, and some of that work is in this release. +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +We have also made some minor improvements in I2PSnark, and added a new page in +the routerconsole for viewing older news items. +{%- endtrans %} + +{% trans -%} +As usual, we recommend that you update to this release. The best way to +maintain security and help the network is to run the latest release. +{%- endtrans %} + + +**{% trans %}RELEASE DETAILS{% endtrans %}** + +**{% trans %}Changes{% endtrans %}** + +- {% trans %}Accelerate transition to Ed25519{% endtrans %} + + +**{% trans %}Bug Fixes{% endtrans %}** + +- {% trans %}Fix some bugs soft restarting after a large clock shift (e.g. resume) (but more to do){% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Fix streaming retransmission timers that were dying, and related timer bugs{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Fix streaming connections rejected while tunnel is opening{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Fix rare i2psnark and UPnP deadlocks{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Fix lifetime participating bandwidth display in console{% endtrans %} + + +**{% trans %}Other{% endtrans %}** + +- {% trans %}Increase default outbound exploratory tunnel length to 3{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Use max of 2 not-failing peers in exploratory tunnels to improve build success{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Add support for hostnames prefixed with "www."{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Store news feed items separately on disk, show on new /news page, limit display on home page to 2{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Increase probability of rekeying to EdDSA{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Detect for broken ECDSA support in Gentoo{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Console: Add a Java 6 warning, this is the last release to support Java 6{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Changes to prepare for Java 9 compatibility{% endtrans %} +- i2ptunnel: {% trans %}Pass Accept-Encoding header through client and server proxies, to allow end-to-end compression{% endtrans %} +- i2psnark: + + - {% trans %}Increase piece size, piece count, and file count limits{% endtrans %} + - {% trans %}Save added and completed times{% endtrans %} + - {% trans %}Save magnet parameters across restart{% endtrans %} + - {% trans %}Don't delete .torrent file on errors at startup, rename to .torrent.BAD{% endtrans %} + - {% trans %}Add recheck, start, stop buttons on details pages{% endtrans %} + - {% trans %}Add option to disable "smart sort"{% endtrans %} + +- {% trans %}Speed up IP address validation{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Separate streaming blacklists for ECDSA and EdDSA{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Translation updates{% endtrans %} +- {% trans %}Update GeoIP data (new installs and PPA only){% endtrans %} + + +**{% trans %}SHA256 Checksums:{% endtrans %}** + +:: + + 306c0eeb4d0ff210b42cb0a6babe46da59d0f80317451f3fd40381bb79b54852 i2pinstall_0.9.23_windows.exe + 843a8059830b009d10c47cc7c85e260ad88f7c3c16e289bbf80c0eb178318823 i2pinstall_0.9.23.jar + 24e303f2af1b7b14ed3a6e17cc7d1b6432ec99d8d00246a88486922941c72345 i2psource_0.9.23.tar.bz2 + d7f2f2349520071a3d19a4130a83ae1fb109f7924cb1eff5da020678787d3ad3 i2pupdate_0.9.23.zip + 56afdecfc002c9a10f5ad5d224bbecdd3db30ddc522d194567aafb85ce0d2567 i2pupdate.su3
