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

151
152 Changes in version 2.0beta11 - 2002-07-11
153 * Don't run in Taint mode anymore per default.
154 If you still want it, trimm your PATH to something acceptable
155 for perl and add »-T« to the first line of pingd.
156
157 Changes in version 2.0beta10 - 2002-07-11
158 * Don't reset PATH to /usr/bin:/bin any more (Yes, again)

160
161 Changes in version 2.0beta9 - 2002-07-11

170
171 Changes in version 2.0beta6 - 2002-07-10
172 * Did away with Mail::Internet. Using local sendmail binary only.
173 This also means the smarthost config option is obsolete and there
174 is a sendmail config option now.
175
176 Changes in version 2.0beta5 - 2002-07-10
177 * Thesaurus filenames changed from nn-foo to nn.foo.
178 Use the change-thesaurus-filenames script in the tools
179 directory to convert your current thesaurus if you wish
180 to keep the data.
181 * Seperate rlists for rsa, dsa and plaintext pings are
182 supported now. Enable seperate_rlists in pingd.conf.
