15              to front page.

17            * Spelling fixes.
18            * seperate_rlists was renamed to separate_rlists.
19            * README was improved.
20    
21    Changes in version 2.0rc2 - 2002-09-08
22            * Reopen stdin to /dev/null instead of closing it to avoid
23              perl 5.8 warnings.

26            * new version number.
27            * Random spelling fixes.
28            * Do not show hidden remailers in thesaurus.
29    
30    Changes in version 2.0beta34 - 2002-09-04
31            * Make ping/request time more random.
32            * Encrypt pings (symmetrically), so that dup detection of some
33              remailers (austria) fails and pings get processed.
34            * Write total number of unique remailers to echolot.html.
35    
36    Changes in version 2.0beta33 - 2002-08-23
37            * Scheduler fixes (inserted jobs for one time processing got requeued
38              over and over again according to their interval).
39            * Give a short summary about current stats on index page.
40    
41    Changes in version 2.0beta32 - 2002-08-23
42            * Fix a major bug introduced in 2.0beta31 that resulted in no
43              remailer-xxx queries beeing sent out.
44    
45    Changes in version 2.0beta31 - 2002-08-21
46            * Have a consistent name for the ~/echolot directory in README.
47            * If you request keyconf from only a few remailers, more requests could
48              have been sent. Fixed that.
49            * Write REMAIL n to mix.cfg - apparently it defaults to yes, which
50              means Mixmaster will want to create keys.
51            * Fix random typos.
52            * Fix pingctl script.
53    
54    Changes in version 2.0beta30 - 2002-08-15
55            * Write NAME and ADDRESS to mix.cfg - mix cannot figure it out
56              if detached.
57    
58    Changes in version 2.0beta29 - 2002-08-14
59            * Create .meta files with the expiry date of pages.

63    
64    Changes in version 2.0beta28 - 2002-08-13
65            * Write a standard mix.cfg configuration file for mixmaster.
66              It only sets PUBRING and TYPE2LIST. Needed for systems where
67              those values are overriden by systemwide defaults.
68    
69    Changes in version 2.0beta27 - 2002-08-13
70            * Some small fixes to the Debian Package

72    Changes in version 2.0beta26 - 2002-08-12
73            * Fix a few typos in the echolot.html template.
74            * Added /etc/echolot/pingd.conf to the list of configfiles.
75            * Have a debian/ directory to build a Debian package.
76            * Config option mailindir was renamed to mailin. You now
77              can also point it to a mbox format mailbox.
78            * Have --quiet.
79            * Stricter permissions for most newly created directories (go-rwx).
80    
81    Changes in version 2.0beta25 - 2002-08-10
82            * Produce echolot.html, an index file for echolot results.
83    
84    Changes in version 2.0beta24 - 2002-08-10
85            * Remove »x« from end of pubring.mix summary lines.
86    
87    Changes in version 2.0beta23 - 2002-08-07
88            * Unlinking Thesaurus files works now.
89            * Detach correctly now.
90    
91    Changes in version 2.0beta22 - 2002-08-05
92            * Actually use the sane basedir. *sigh*
93    
94    Changes in version 2.0beta21 - 2002-08-05
95            * Using a sane basedir by default. You no longer need to specify
96              it in pingd.conf.
97    
98    Changes in version 2.0beta20 - 2002-08-02
99            * Added pingctl wrapper to tools.
100            * echolot --help now gives a brief list of commands.
101            * Added acknowledgements.
102    
103    Changes in version 2.0beta19 - 2002-07-29
104            * Build keyrings in results.private too
105    
106    Changes in version 2.0beta18 - 2002-07-23
107            * Allow for inclusion of broken chain reports and same operator/machine
108              lists in stats pages. Broken chain reports are not generated
109              automatically; this is planned for a later release.  For now you need
110              to supply this information in the files broken1.txt, broken2.txt, and
111              sameop.txt.
112    
113    Changes in version 2.0beta17 - 2002-07-22
114            * You no longer need an extra Mixmaster installation for your pinger.
115              Echolot can make use of any Mixmaster binary you alread have
116              installed.
117            * The config hash »Pinger::Mix« is obsolete now. Please set
118              »mixmaster« to the path of your mix executeable. Echolot now
119              uses its own mix directory below echolothome by default (config
120              option mixhome).
121            * The default gnupghome has changed from »gnupg« to »gnupghome«.
122            * New config option »gnupg«.
123            * Not the current time but the scheduled start time is used when
124              deciding which remailers to ping. This is nice if we get delayed for
125              whatever reason.
126            * Changed URL in templates to point to www.palfrader.org/echolot
127              instead of the savannah page.
128    
129            How to upgrade (assuming you have a default configuration):
130               ./pingd stop
131               mv gnupg gnupghome
132               vi pingd.conf (remove Pinger::Mix, set mixmaster;
133                              cf. pingd.conf.sample )
134              ./pingd [...] start
135    
136    Changes in version 2.0beta16 - 2002-07-17
137            * Do not send all pings for the same remailer at the same time
138            * The cheap hashing function that was used for determining when to ping
139              was replaced by md5. The local secret also is an input to the
140              function so not all echolot pingers ping the same remailer at the
141              same time.
142            * In the distribution the pingd.conf file has been renamed to pingd.conf.
143              So it should be possible to just untar the new tar.gz over the old
144              installation (you have a backup anyway, don't you?).
145            * The getkeyconf command takes optional addresses to request config
146              data from.
147            * The getkeyconf config option was replaced by getkeyconf_interval and
148              getkeyconf_every_nth_time. Not all requests are sent at the same time
149              any more.
150            * Stats can be sorted by latency rather than nick. Set
151              stats_sort_by_latency if you want that.
152    
153    Changes in version 2.0beta15 - 2002-07-16
154          * Have echolot version in stats HTML pages          * Have echolot version in stats HTML pages
155          * Random documentation fixes          * Random documentation fixes
156            * Make it runs with older perls (5.005_03 is tested)
157              - always pass two arguments to mkdir()
158              - import SEEK_ constants from POSIX rather than Fcntl
159              - do not use warnings
160    
161  Changes in version 2.0beta14 - 2002-07-16  Changes in version 2.0beta14 - 2002-07-16
162          * Added commands buildstats buildkeys and buildthesaurus          * Added commands buildstats buildkeys and buildthesaurus
