1 Changes in version 2.0.8 - 2003-01-13
2 * Work around a bug that let pingd die in certain random cases when
3 dealing with unuseable PGP keys (like expired keys).

6 * Removed a duplicate line from v2legend.
7 * Allow periods in hostname.
8 * Don't use GnuPG::Interface's recipients when encrypting any more as
9 it is broken with at least GnuPG 1.2.1.

11 * Also use supported remailers from type2 only remailers.
12 * Reset metadata if status is not defined.

73
74 Changes in version 2.0beta34 - 2002-09-04

90 * Have a consistent name for the ~/echolot directory in README.
91 * If you request keyconf from only a few remailers, more requests could

93 * Write REMAIL n to mix.cfg - apparently it defaults to yes, which
94 means Mixmaster will want to create keys.

96 * Fix pingctl script.
97
98 Changes in version 2.0beta30 - 2002-08-15

107
108 Changes in version 2.0beta28 - 2002-08-13
109 * Write a standard mix.cfg configuration file for mixmaster.
110 It only sets PUBRING and TYPE2LIST. Needed for systems where

114 * Some small fixes to the Debian Package

118 * Added /etc/echolot/pingd.conf to the list of configfiles.

121 can also point it to a mbox format mailbox.
122 * Have --quiet.
123 * Stricter permissions for most newly created directories (go-rwx).
124
125 Changes in version 2.0beta25 - 2002-08-10
126 * Produce echolot.html, an index file for echolot results.
127
128 Changes in version 2.0beta24 - 2002-08-10
129 * Remove »x« from end of pubring.mix summary lines.
130
131 Changes in version 2.0beta23 - 2002-08-07
132 * Unlinking Thesaurus files works now.
133 * Detach correctly now.
134
135 Changes in version 2.0beta22 - 2002-08-05
136 * Actually use the sane basedir. *sigh*
137
138 Changes in version 2.0beta21 - 2002-08-05
139 * Using a sane basedir by default. You no longer need to specify
140 it in pingd.conf.
141
142 Changes in version 2.0beta20 - 2002-08-02
143 * Added pingctl wrapper to tools.
144 * echolot --help now gives a brief list of commands.
145 * Added acknowledgements.
146
147 Changes in version 2.0beta19 - 2002-07-29
148 * Build keyrings in results.private too
149
150 Changes in version 2.0beta18 - 2002-07-23
151 * Allow for inclusion of broken chain reports and same operator/machine
152 lists in stats pages. Broken chain reports are not generated
153 automatically; this is planned for a later release. For now you need
154 to supply this information in the files broken1.txt, broken2.txt, and
155 sameop.txt.
156
157 Changes in version 2.0beta17 - 2002-07-22
158 * You no longer need an extra Mixmaster installation for your pinger.
159 Echolot can make use of any Mixmaster binary you alread have
160 installed.
161 * The config hash »Pinger::Mix« is obsolete now. Please set
162 »mixmaster« to the path of your mix executeable. Echolot now
163 uses its own mix directory below echolothome by default (config
164 option mixhome).
165 * The default gnupghome has changed from »gnupg« to »gnupghome«.
166 * New config option »gnupg«.
167 * Not the current time but the scheduled start time is used when
168 deciding which remailers to ping. This is nice if we get delayed for
169 whatever reason.
170 * Changed URL in templates to point to www.palfrader.org/echolot
171 instead of the savannah page.
172
173 How to upgrade (assuming you have a default configuration):
174 ./pingd stop
175 mv gnupg gnupghome
176 vi pingd.conf (remove Pinger::Mix, set mixmaster;
177 cf. pingd.conf.sample )
178 ./pingd [...] start
179
180 Changes in version 2.0beta16 - 2002-07-17
181 * Do not send all pings for the same remailer at the same time
182 * The cheap hashing function that was used for determining when to ping
183 was replaced by md5. The local secret also is an input to the
184 function so not all echolot pingers ping the same remailer at the
185 same time.
186 * In the distribution the pingd.conf file has been renamed to pingd.conf.
187 So it should be possible to just untar the new tar.gz over the old
188 installation (you have a backup anyway, don't you?).
189 * The getkeyconf command takes optional addresses to request config
190 data from.
191 * The getkeyconf config option was replaced by getkeyconf_interval and
192 getkeyconf_every_nth_time. Not all requests are sent at the same time
193 any more.
194 * Stats can be sorted by latency rather than nick. Set
195 stats_sort_by_latency if you want that.
196
197 Changes in version 2.0beta15 - 2002-07-16
198 * Have echolot version in stats HTML pages
199 * Random documentation fixes
200 * Make it runs with older perls (5.005_03 is tested)
201 - always pass two arguments to mkdir()
202 - import SEEK_ constants from POSIX rather than Fcntl
203 - do not use warnings
204
205 Changes in version 2.0beta14 - 2002-07-16
206 * Added commands buildstats buildkeys and buildthesaurus
207 * Added legend to templates (Orange)
208 * Thesaurus building failed when an id did not return a
209 valid remailer. A check was there bug it was wrong
210 * Have pingd.conf.5 manpage documenting all options
211
212 Changes in version 2.0beta13 - 2002-07-13
213 * Have correct title tags and some layout changes in the HTML templates
214 * Encode HTML Entities in HTML Stats
215 * Only show valid remailers in Thesaurus
216 * Support »not a remailer« reply to remailer-xxx
217 * Make sure only the right keys are exported to the pgp keyrings
218 * Do not skip key if GnuPG returns something in stderr with
219 remailer-key replies
220
221 Changes in version 2.0beta12 - 2002-07-11
222 * Cut strings when they do not fit in the table formats

224
225 Changes in version 2.0beta11 - 2002-07-11
226 * Don't run in Taint mode anymore per default.
227 If you still want it, trimm your PATH to something acceptable
228 for perl and add »-T« to the first line of pingd.
229
230 Changes in version 2.0beta10 - 2002-07-11
231 * Don't reset PATH to /usr/bin:/bin any more (Yes, again)

234 Changes in version 2.0beta9 - 2002-07-11

244 Changes in version 2.0beta6 - 2002-07-10
245 * Did away with Mail::Internet. Using local sendmail binary only.
246 This also means the smarthost config option is obsolete and there
247 is a sendmail config option now.
248
249 Changes in version 2.0beta5 - 2002-07-10
250 * Thesaurus filenames changed from nn-foo to nn.foo.
251 Use the change-thesaurus-filenames script in the tools
252 directory to convert your current thesaurus if you wish
253 to keep the data.
254 * Seperate rlists for rsa, dsa and plaintext pings are
255 supported now. Enable seperate_rlists in pingd.conf.
