# Line 1  Line 1 
1  Changes in version  Changes in version 2.0rc1 - 2002-09-05
2            * new version number.
3            * Random spelling fixes.
4            * Do not show hidden remailers in thesaurus.
5    
6    Changes in version 2.0beta34 - 2002-09-04
7            * Make ping/request time more random.
8            * Encrypt pings (symmetrically), so that dup detection of some
9              remailers (austria) fails and pings get processed.
10            * Write total number of unique remailers to echolot.html.
11    
12    Changes in version 2.0beta33 - 2002-08-23
13            * Scheduler fixes (inserted jobs for one time processing got requeued
14              over and over again according to their interval).
15            * Give a short summary about current stats on index page.
16    
17    Changes in version 2.0beta32 - 2002-08-23
18            * Fix a major bug introduced in 2.0beta31 that resulted in no
19              remailer-xxx queries beeing sent out.
20    
21    Changes in version 2.0beta31 - 2002-08-21
22            * Have a consistent name for the ~/echolot directory in README.
23            * If you request keyconf from only a few remailers, more requests could
24              have been sent. Fixed that.
25            * Write REMAIL n to mix.cfg - apparently it defaults to yes, which
26              means Mixmaster will want to create keys.
27            * Fix random typos.
28            * Fix pingctl script.
29    
30    Changes in version 2.0beta30 - 2002-08-15
31            * Write NAME and ADDRESS to mix.cfg - mix cannot figure it out
32              if detached.
33    
34    Changes in version 2.0beta29 - 2002-08-14
35            * Create .meta files with the expiry date of pages.
36            * Also put the expiry date in HTML meta headers.
37            * Make indexfilebasename a configure option.
38            * Code cleanup: renamed some functions.
39    
40    Changes in version 2.0beta28 - 2002-08-13
41            * Write a standard mix.cfg configuration file for mixmaster.
42              It only sets PUBRING and TYPE2LIST. Needed for systems where
43              those values are overriden by systemwide defaults.
44    
45    Changes in version 2.0beta27 - 2002-08-13
46            * Some small fixes to the Debian Package
47    
48    Changes in version 2.0beta26 - 2002-08-12
49            * Fix a few typos in the echolot.html template.
50            * Added /etc/echolot/pingd.conf to the list of configfiles.
51            * Have a debian/ directory to build a Debian package.
52            * Config option mailindir was renamed to mailin. You now
53              can also point it to a mbox format mailbox.
54            * Have --quiet.
55            * Stricter permissions for most newly created directories (go-rwx).
56    
57    Changes in version 2.0beta25 - 2002-08-10
58            * Produce echolot.html, an index file for echolot results.
59    
60    Changes in version 2.0beta24 - 2002-08-10
61            * Remove »x« from end of pubring.mix summary lines.
62    
63    Changes in version 2.0beta23 - 2002-08-07
64            * Unlinking Thesaurus files works now.
65            * Detach correctly now.
66    
67    Changes in version 2.0beta22 - 2002-08-05
68            * Actually use the sane basedir. *sigh*
69    
70    Changes in version 2.0beta21 - 2002-08-05
71            * Using a sane basedir by default. You no longer need to specify
72              it in pingd.conf.
73    
74    Changes in version 2.0beta20 - 2002-08-02
75            * Added pingctl wrapper to tools.
76            * echolot --help now gives a brief list of commands.
77            * Added acknowledgements.
78    
79    Changes in version 2.0beta19 - 2002-07-29
80            * Build keyrings in results.private too
81    
82    Changes in version 2.0beta18 - 2002-07-23
83            * Allow for inclusion of broken chain reports and same operator/machine
84              lists in stats pages. Broken chain reports are not generated
85              automatically; this is planned for a later release.  For now you need
86              to supply this information in the files broken1.txt, broken2.txt, and
87              sameop.txt.
88    
89    Changes in version 2.0beta17 - 2002-07-22
90            * You no longer need an extra Mixmaster installation for your pinger.
91              Echolot can make use of any Mixmaster binary you alread have
92              installed.
93            * The config hash »Pinger::Mix« is obsolete now. Please set
94              »mixmaster« to the path of your mix executeable. Echolot now
95              uses its own mix directory below echolothome by default (config
96              option mixhome).
97            * The default gnupghome has changed from »gnupg« to »gnupghome«.
98            * New config option »gnupg«.
99            * Not the current time but the scheduled start time is used when
100              deciding which remailers to ping. This is nice if we get delayed for
101              whatever reason.
102            * Changed URL in templates to point to www.palfrader.org/echolot
103              instead of the savannah page.
104    
105            How to upgrade (assuming you have a default configuration):
106               ./pingd stop
107               mv gnupg gnupghome
108               vi pingd.conf (remove Pinger::Mix, set mixmaster;
109                              cf. pingd.conf.sample )
110              ./pingd [...] start
111    
112    Changes in version 2.0beta16 - 2002-07-17
113            * Do not send all pings for the same remailer at the same time
114            * The cheap hashing function that was used for determining when to ping
115              was replaced by md5. The local secret also is an input to the
116              function so not all echolot pingers ping the same remailer at the
117              same time.
118            * In the distribution the pingd.conf file has been renamed to pingd.conf.
119              So it should be possible to just untar the new tar.gz over the old
120              installation (you have a backup anyway, don't you?).
121            * The getkeyconf command takes optional addresses to request config
122              data from.
123            * The getkeyconf config option was replaced by getkeyconf_interval and
124              getkeyconf_every_nth_time. Not all requests are sent at the same time
125              any more.
126            * Stats can be sorted by latency rather than nick. Set
127              stats_sort_by_latency if you want that.
128    
129    Changes in version 2.0beta15 - 2002-07-16
130            * Have echolot version in stats HTML pages
131            * Random documentation fixes
132            * Make it runs with older perls (5.005_03 is tested)
133              - always pass two arguments to mkdir()
134              - import SEEK_ constants from POSIX rather than Fcntl
135              - do not use warnings
136    
137    Changes in version 2.0beta14 - 2002-07-16
138            * Added commands buildstats buildkeys and buildthesaurus
139            * Added legend to templates (Orange)
140            * Thesaurus building failed when an id did not return a
141              valid remailer. A check was there bug it was wrong
142            * Have pingd.conf.5 manpage documenting all options
143    
144    Changes in version 2.0beta13 - 2002-07-13
145          * Have correct title tags and some layout changes in the HTML templates          * Have correct title tags and some layout changes in the HTML templates
146            * Encode HTML Entities in HTML Stats
147            * Only show valid remailers in Thesaurus
148            * Support »not a remailer« reply to remailer-xxx
149            * Make sure only the right keys are exported to the pgp keyrings
150            * Do not skip key if GnuPG returns something in stderr with
151              remailer-key replies
152    
153  Changes in version 2.0beta12 - 2002-07-11  Changes in version 2.0beta12 - 2002-07-11
154          * Cut strings when they do not fit in the table formats          * Cut strings when they do not fit in the table formats
