38            * Make ping/request time more random.
39            * Encrypt pings (symmetrically), so that dup detection of some

42    
43    Changes in version 2.0beta33 - 2002-08-23

52    Changes in version 2.0beta31 - 2002-08-21
53            * Have a consistent name for the ~/echolot directory in README.
54            * If you request keyconf from only a few remailers, more requests could
55              have been sent. Fixed that.
56            * Write REMAIL n to mix.cfg - apparently it defaults to yes, which
57              means Mixmaster will want to create keys.

60    
61    Changes in version 2.0beta30 - 2002-08-15
62            * Write NAME and ADDRESS to mix.cfg - mix cannot figure it out
63              if detached.
64    
65    Changes in version 2.0beta29 - 2002-08-14

70    
71    Changes in version 2.0beta28 - 2002-08-13
72            * Write a standard mix.cfg configuration file for mixmaster.
73              It only sets PUBRING and TYPE2LIST. Needed for systems where
74              those values are overriden by systemwide defaults.
75    
76    Changes in version 2.0beta27 - 2002-08-13
77            * Some small fixes to the Debian Package

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