3

21 * Write SENDMAIL to mix.cfg

34 * Reopen stdin to /dev/null instead of closing it to avoid
35 perl 5.8 warnings.
36
37 Changes in version 2.0rc1 - 2002-09-05
38 * new version number.
39 * Random spelling fixes.
40 * Do not show hidden remailers in thesaurus.
41
42 Changes in version 2.0beta34 - 2002-09-04
43 * Make ping/request time more random.
44 * Encrypt pings (symmetrically), so that dup detection of some

47
48 Changes in version 2.0beta33 - 2002-08-23

52
53 Changes in version 2.0beta32 - 2002-08-23
54 * Fix a major bug introduced in 2.0beta31 that resulted in no
55 remailer-xxx queries beeing sent out.
56
57 Changes in version 2.0beta31 - 2002-08-21
58 * Have a consistent name for the ~/echolot directory in README.
59 * If you request keyconf from only a few remailers, more requests could
60 have been sent. Fixed that.
61 * Write REMAIL n to mix.cfg - apparently it defaults to yes, which
62 means Mixmaster will want to create keys.
63 * Fix random typos.
64 * Fix pingctl script.
65
66 Changes in version 2.0beta30 - 2002-08-15
67 * Write NAME and ADDRESS to mix.cfg - mix cannot figure it out

72 * Also put the expiry date in HTML meta headers.

75
76 Changes in version 2.0beta28 - 2002-08-13
77 * Write a standard mix.cfg configuration file for mixmaster.
78 It only sets PUBRING and TYPE2LIST. Needed for systems where
79 those values are overriden by systemwide defaults.
80
81 Changes in version 2.0beta27 - 2002-08-13
82 * Some small fixes to the Debian Package

89 can also point it to a mbox format mailbox.
90 * Have --quiet.
91 * Stricter permissions for most newly created directories (go-rwx).
92
93 Changes in version 2.0beta25 - 2002-08-10
94 * Produce echolot.html, an index file for echolot results.
95
96 Changes in version 2.0beta24 - 2002-08-10
97 * Remove »x« from end of pubring.mix summary lines.
98
99 Changes in version 2.0beta23 - 2002-08-07
100 * Unlinking Thesaurus files works now.
101 * Detach correctly now.
102
103 Changes in version 2.0beta22 - 2002-08-05
104 * Actually use the sane basedir. *sigh*
105
106 Changes in version 2.0beta21 - 2002-08-05
107 * Using a sane basedir by default. You no longer need to specify
108 it in pingd.conf.
109
110 Changes in version 2.0beta20 - 2002-08-02
111 * Added pingctl wrapper to tools.
112 * echolot --help now gives a brief list of commands.
113 * Added acknowledgements.
114
115 Changes in version 2.0beta19 - 2002-07-29
116 * Build keyrings in results.private too
117
118 Changes in version 2.0beta18 - 2002-07-23
119 * Allow for inclusion of broken chain reports and same operator/machine
120 lists in stats pages. Broken chain reports are not generated
121 automatically; this is planned for a later release. For now you need
122 to supply this information in the files broken1.txt, broken2.txt, and
123 sameop.txt.
124
125 Changes in version 2.0beta17 - 2002-07-22
126 * You no longer need an extra Mixmaster installation for your pinger.
127 Echolot can make use of any Mixmaster binary you alread have
128 installed.
129 * The config hash »Pinger::Mix« is obsolete now. Please set
130 »mixmaster« to the path of your mix executeable. Echolot now
131 uses its own mix directory below echolothome by default (config
132 option mixhome).
133 * The default gnupghome has changed from »gnupg« to »gnupghome«.
134 * New config option »gnupg«.
135 * Not the current time but the scheduled start time is used when
136 deciding which remailers to ping. This is nice if we get delayed for
137 whatever reason.
138 * Changed URL in templates to point to www.palfrader.org/echolot
139 instead of the savannah page.
140
141 How to upgrade (assuming you have a default configuration):
142 ./pingd stop
143 mv gnupg gnupghome
144 vi pingd.conf (remove Pinger::Mix, set mixmaster;
145 cf. pingd.conf.sample )
146 ./pingd [...] start
147
148 Changes in version 2.0beta16 - 2002-07-17
149 * Do not send all pings for the same remailer at the same time
150 * The cheap hashing function that was used for determining when to ping
151 was replaced by md5. The local secret also is an input to the
152 function so not all echolot pingers ping the same remailer at the
153 same time.
154 * In the distribution the pingd.conf file has been renamed to pingd.conf.
155 So it should be possible to just untar the new tar.gz over the old
156 installation (you have a backup anyway, don't you?).
157 * The getkeyconf command takes optional addresses to request config
158 data from.
159 * The getkeyconf config option was replaced by getkeyconf_interval and
160 getkeyconf_every_nth_time. Not all requests are sent at the same time
161 any more.
162 * Stats can be sorted by latency rather than nick. Set
163 stats_sort_by_latency if you want that.
164
165 Changes in version 2.0beta15 - 2002-07-16
166 * Have echolot version in stats HTML pages
167 * Random documentation fixes
168 * Make it runs with older perls (5.005_03 is tested)
169 - always pass two arguments to mkdir()
170 - import SEEK_ constants from POSIX rather than Fcntl
171 - do not use warnings
172
173 Changes in version 2.0beta14 - 2002-07-16
174 * Added commands buildstats buildkeys and buildthesaurus
175 * Added legend to templates (Orange)
176 * Thesaurus building failed when an id did not return a
177 valid remailer. A check was there bug it was wrong
178 * Have pingd.conf.5 manpage documenting all options
179
180 Changes in version 2.0beta13 - 2002-07-13
181 * Have correct title tags and some layout changes in the HTML templates
182 * Encode HTML Entities in HTML Stats
183 * Only show valid remailers in Thesaurus
184 * Support »not a remailer« reply to remailer-xxx
185 * Make sure only the right keys are exported to the pgp keyrings
186 * Do not skip key if GnuPG returns something in stderr with
187 remailer-key replies
188
189 Changes in version 2.0beta12 - 2002-07-11
190 * Cut strings when they do not fit in the table formats
191 * Sort type2.list/pubring.mix
192
193 Changes in version 2.0beta11 - 2002-07-11
194 * Don't run in Taint mode anymore per default.
195 If you still want it, trimm your PATH to something acceptable
196 for perl and add »-T« to the first line of pingd.
197
198 Changes in version 2.0beta10 - 2002-07-11
199 * Don't reset PATH to /usr/bin:/bin any more (Yes, again)
200 * Documentation updates
201
202 Changes in version 2.0beta9 - 2002-07-11
203 * Don't reset PATH to /usr/bin:/bin any more
204 * Use confess or cluck instead of croak in some places.
205
206 Changes in version 2.0beta8 - 2002-07-10
207 * Fix public clist.
208
209 Changes in version 2.0beta7 - 2002-07-10
210 * fixed a stupid syntax bug.
211
212 Changes in version 2.0beta6 - 2002-07-10
213 * Did away with Mail::Internet. Using local sendmail binary only.
214 This also means the smarthost config option is obsolete and there
215 is a sendmail config option now.
216
217 Changes in version 2.0beta5 - 2002-07-10
218 * Thesaurus filenames changed from nn-foo to nn.foo.
219 Use the change-thesaurus-filenames script in the tools
220 directory to convert your current thesaurus if you wish
221 to keep the data.
222 * Seperate rlists for rsa, dsa and plaintext pings are
223 supported now. Enable seperate_rlists in pingd.conf.
224 * Have a combined list. Enable with combined_list in pingd.conf.

239 convert your setup:
240 pingd stop
241 mv pingd.conf pingd.conf.old
242 mv data/metadata data/metadata.old
243 convert-xml-to-datadumper CONFIG < pingd.conf.old > pingd.conf
