+Sun Feb  1 19:51:40 MST 2009
+        Fixed Mantis #1429 (struct padding could cause sizeof
+        to be different on AMD64, using gcc-ism "packed" to
+        avoid this problem).
+
+Sun Feb  1 00:37:16 MST 2009
+        Fixed problem in DHT client protocol that could cause
+        PUT requests from clients to be (frequently) lost.
+
+Sun Nov  2 16:06:47 MST 2008
+        Fixed problem with MySQL disconnects in one module
+        impacting MySQL correctness in another module (caused
+        crashes).
+
+Sat Aug 16 00:18:34 CEST 2008
+        Improved keyword extraction
+        Fixed expiration time of keywords
+        Releasing 0.8.0b.
+
+Sun Jul 20 15:27:11 MDT 2008
+        Releasing 0.8.0a.
+
+Thu Jul 10 00:59:31 MDT 2008
+        Fixed bug where datastore resizing would not 
+        result in bloomfilter update during gnunet-update.
+
+Sat Jun 28 23:43:00 MDT 2008
+        Fixed bug preventing namespace advertisements from
+        being processed.
+
+Sat Jun 14 00:54:39 MDT 2008
+        Releasing 0.8.0.
+
+Fri Jun 13 23:51:00 MDT 2008
+        GNUnet now compiles on OpenBSD.
+
+Wed Jun 11 22:17:09 MDT 2008
+        Made state of gnunet-auto-share persistent. 
+        Added support for multiple directories.  Improved
+        FSUI/ECRS APIs to reduce the number of threads needed
+        for probing.  Increased number of concurrent probes
+        allowed.
+
+Sat Jun  7 17:54:49 MDT 2008
+        Simplified namespaces a lot.  Shorter timeouts for
+        trying to connect to gnunetd to prevent interactive
+        apps from blocking too long when gnunetd is not
+        running.
+
+Sun Jun  1 21:11:54 MDT 2008
+        Releasing 0.8.0pre1.
+
+Sun Jun  1 13:41:27 MDT 2008
+        Split of libgnunetpseudonym from libgnunetnamespace
+        (with major API extension and changes).
+
+Tue May  6 04:10:02 MDT 2008
+        Added simple sanity check for [MODULES] values.
+        Added "-s" and "-q" options to gnunet-peer-info.
+
+Thu Apr 24 00:05:17 MDT 2008
+        Simplified FSUI stop/abort/pause/resume API calls
+        (no need to pass FSUI context anymore).
+
+Mon Apr 21 21:05:20 MDT 2008
+        Adding buffered IO for FSUI's serialize and
+        deserialize code.
+
+Sun Apr 20 20:01:20 MDT 2008
+        Fixed bug in HTTP transport causing lonely messages
+        (responses to GET) not to be delivered.
+
+Mon Mar 24 21:15:36 MDT 2008
+        Fixed various problems with downloading locally
+        indexed large files (downloading large files from
+        other peers should not have been a problem).
+        
+Sun Mar  2 15:33:41 MST 2008
+        Added option to allow user to disable IPv6 support.
+        Releasing 0.8.0pre0.
+
+Sat Mar  1 21:14:02 MST 2008
+        Fixed some dstore performance issues.
+        Made transports alternate between trying IPv4 and IPv6
+        if both are available (since one of them maybe
+        misconfigured).
+
+Mon Feb 25 23:25:48 MST 2008
+        Cleanup of the DNS code: removed GNUNET_IPvXAddress
+        and GNUNET_PRIP; centralized all DNS lookup code in 
+        util/network/dns.c; improved IPv6 support for 
+        network-client code.
+
+Mon Feb 25 00:01:27 MST 2008
+        Added asynchronous search and download methods for 
+        ECRS library.  FSUI now can do with only one thread
+        per search or download (until now, we had two 
+        threads per search / download).
+
+Tue Feb 19 20:35:28 MST 2008
+        Updated database schemata to support O(1) operations
+        even if there are N files under the same keywords.
+        This breaks database backwards compatibility (and
+        no migration code is provided).
+
+Mon Feb 18 19:47:37 MST 2008
+        Added new options -u and -s to gnunet-insert.
+
+Sat Feb 16 21:37:33 MST 2008
+        Implemented gnunet-auto-share for automatic
+        sharing of directories.
+
+Thu Feb 14 01:02:32 MST 2008
+        Made HTTP transport work over IPv6 as well.
+
+Wed Feb 13 22:59:07 MST 2008
+        Modified mySQL and SQLite datastores to return diverse
+        result sets during (partial) hash-based get iterations
+        (should result in more diverse keyword result sets).
+
+Tue Feb 12 23:54:34 MST 2008
+        First shot at integrated hostlist HTTP server based
+        on libmicrohttpd.
+
+Sat Feb  9 22:06:23 MST 2008
+        Minor changes to the ECRS/FSUI APIs for searches
+        (no more timeouts and/or max-results).  Clients who
+        need these features could easily implement them 
+        directly (and they are not really useful to begin
+        with).  
+        Also, the IPv4 and IPv6 protocols are being integrated
+        so that we only listen to one port (running both IPv4
+        and IPv6 over the same port).  This break transport
+        compatibility, but given that we're breaking protocol
+        compatibility for file-sharing already, this may 
+        actually be a bit of a good thing (since it will now
+        be possible to tell if peers running the new GAP code
+        are connected to other peers running the new GAP code).
+        
+Sun Feb  3 13:17:09 MST 2008
+        Dramatic changes to the GAP implementation (breaking
+        protocol compatibility).  Essentially, we can save
+        a few bytes in each reply.  More importantly, the new
+        code allows the searching client to specify a set of
+        replies that are not desired (hopefully helping to
+        dramatically increase the diversity of search replies
+        obtained over time).  Note that the actual encoding
+        and databases are not affected (just P2P protocol).
+        The update is not complete yet, but should compile.
+
+Tue Jan  8 20:07:20 MST 2008
+        Added option for testing ("make check") to use weak(er)
+        PRNG for key generation (thanks to Werner Koch for 
+        pointing out how to do it).
+
+Thu Dec 22 20:10:37 MST 2007
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.3.
+
+Sun Dec  9 14:34:32 MST 2007
+        Implemented MySQL version of the dstore-module.  This
+        means that sqLite is now again truly optional.
+
+Sat Dec  8 15:15:53 MST 2007
+        Integrated F2F topology into main topology module 
+        (options are used to choose between F2F-only (old F2F), 
+         minimum number of friend connections (NEW) or entirely
+         arbitrary connection set (default)).
+
+Thu Dec  6 20:51:17 MST 2007
+        The SMTP transport is working again.
+
+Thu Nov 22 20:49:16 MST 2007
+        United all libgnunetutil_*.so libraries into one big
+        libgnunetutil.so library (eliminates issues for binary
+        packagers and reduces file size by about 20%).  Also
+        made sure that all exported symbols start with "GNUNET_".
+
+Sat Sep 29 16:48:24 MDT 2007
+        Improved MySQL sqstore module performance.
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2c.
+
+Sat Sep  8 18:01:36 MDT 2007
+        HTTP transport seems finally ready.
+
+Sat Aug 25 23:58:21 MDT 2007
+        New and improved gnunet-setup GTK interface.
+
+Mon Jul 30 00:07:44 MDT 2007
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2b.
+
+Sun Jul 29 01:53:32 MDT 2007
+        Fixing log rotation.
+
+Sat Jul 21 23:42:11 MDT 2007
+        Radical changes to MySQL implementation (trying to
+        address certain scalability issues).
+
+Sat Jul  7 00:22:47 MDT 2007
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2a.
+
+Fri Jul  6 22:54:52 MDT 2007
+        Fixed bugs in F2F topology code.  Eliminated a few
+        confusing LOG messages. 
+        
+Sun Jul  1 20:35:00 MDT 2007
+        Fixed issue with too many TCP connections being
+        created.  Reduced CPU overheads by increasing
+        requirements for grouping of messages.  Improved
+        various error messages.
+
+Sat Jun 30 01:55:34 MDT 2007
+        Improved bloomfilter recomputation after quota change.
+        Fixed bloomfilter size computation.  You must run
+        gnunet-update (will take a while).
+
+Fri Jun 29 00:56:03 MDT 2007
+        Avoid re-connecting shortly after connection was shutdown.
+
+Thu Jun 28 01:10:01 MDT 2007
+        Fixed high-latency problems for certain SQLite operations.
+        Also improved SQLite performance (but not scalability) a
+        bit.  Resolved MySQL disconnect crash (gnunetd would crash
+        if mysqld was stopped).
+
+Sat Jun 23 16:56:03 MDT 2007
+        Improved CPU consumption from content migration code
+        by querying the DB less often, using the same content
+        for more peers (at the expense of 1 MB extra memory
+        utilization).  Fixed a deadlock.
+
+Wed Jun 20 17:10:38 MDT 2007
+        Fixed bug in MySQL module.
+
+Sun Jun 17 00:09:13 MDT 2007
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.2.
+
+Sat Jun 16 04:43:20 MDT 2007
+        http transport is amost back, now needing the
+        new libmicrohttpd.  However, the code is still
+        highly experimental and not ready for production
+        use.
+
+Fri Jun  8 23:44:01 MDT 2007
+        Fixed bugs preventing namespace search from
+        working.  Also extended testcase to cover
+        namespace search.
+
+Tue May 29 23:15:27 MDT 2007
+        Fixed a major bug which resulted in peers without
+        traffic between them disconnecting (even if that
+        session was their only connection).
+        Fixed another major bug where nodes would not
+        properly forward HELLOs from other peers (given
+        certain common/default configuration options).
+
+Sun May 27 22:39:48 MDT 2007
+        Added new API gnunet_testing_lib.h to make it
+        easier to write testcases that need to start
+        gnunetd.  API is now used everywhere and the
+        ugly peer.conf files and directories are gone.
+        Fixed a bug with inserting empty directories.
+        Extended ECRS API to allow partial file download.
+
+Sat May 26 18:24:15 MDT 2007
+        Fixed bugs with testcases (changes in names and
+        structure of options were not reflected in .conf
+        files for various testcases).
+        Fixed issues with command-line option handling (failed to
+        override configuration file options).
+        Fixed bogus nesting in GAP routing algorithm (caused
+        random request drops).
+
+Fri May 25 12:23:38 MDT 2007
+        Finished extended URITRACK API.
+        Renamed various (minor) libraries and function calls to
+        get somewhat more consistent naming conventions.
+
+Sun Apr 15 22:15:37 MDT 2007
+        Implemented heuristic for better packing of gnunet-directories.
+
+Sun Mar 25 13:47:08 MDT 2007
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1c.
+
+Wed Feb 28 15:29:05 MST 2007
+        Enabled abortion of gnunet-peer-info with CTRL-C.
+
+Mon Feb 26 19:19:29 MST 2007
+        Fixed handling of -d option by gnunet-download
+        if -f option is not given.
+
+Sat Feb 24 15:43:14 MST 2007
+        Fixed various bugs related to content expiration.
+        Completed message coverage in stats implementation.
+
+Fri Feb 23 17:55:46 MST 2007
+        Fixed potential deadlock during download shutdown sequence.
+

+
+Thu Feb  8 13:21:34 MST 2007
+        Updating gettext to 0.16.1.
+        Minor bugfix in build process (#1180, #1181).
+        Minor bugfix in gnunet-search (#1179).
+
+Sun Jan 28 02:43:37 MST 2007
+        Improving support for multiple choice configuration items
+        in gnunet-setup.
+
+Sat Jan 27 16:02:02 MST 2007
+        Changing $-expansion for interpretation of configuration file
+        (again).  Also, now the base-path for gnunetd defaults to
+        "/var/lib/gnunet" instead of "/var/lib/GNUnet".
+
+Tue Jan 23 19:48:37 MST 2007
+        Fixed problem with split-extractor keywords not being used
+        for uploads.
+
+Tue Jan 16 21:43:26 MST 2007
+        Expanded transport APIs to avoid building messages for
+        transmission just to have them rejected by blocking TCPs
+        with full transmission queues (happened quite a bit).
+
+Mon Jan  8 22:21:15 MST 2007
+        Making computation of send buffer permuations more
+        efficient (in terms of calling weak_randomi) by only
+        computing permuations over the actually selected messages.
+
+Mon Jan  8 21:34:02 MST 2007
+        Forcing -O3 for crypto library (performance critical).
+        Enforcing message queue limit for daemon (somehow got lost
+        on the way to 0.7.1, was responsible for high CPU load).
+        Fixing cron job deletion in core (clean shutdown).
+
+Sun Dec 31 23:56:31 MST 2006
+        ncurses may need "-lm" in order to link.
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1a.
+
+Sat Dec 30 00:21:49 MST 2006
+        DHT routing now seems to work (not integrated with file-sharing,
+        only for gnunet-dht-query).
+
+Fri Dec 29 09:38:53 MST 2006
+        Added UPnP support to GNUnet (IPv4 only, #843).
+
+Thu Dec 28 21:22:10 MST 2006
+        Hostname resolution with gnunet-peer-info implemented (#1076).
+        Proper linking of gnunet-pseudonym (#1161).
+        Drop group permissions when changing user (#1162).
+        gnunet-download support for directory files implemented (#1013).
+

+        specification file.
+
+Sun Dec 24 18:06:04 MST 2006
+        Limit memory utilization by select write queue. 
+        Improved select write buffering (fewer malloc/free
+        operations and less copying).
+
+Sat Dec 23 22:12:17 MST 2006
+        Updated various man pages and some configuration documentation.
+        Fixed TCP transport (did not work with NAT if port was set to 0).
+        Fixed verbose option for gnunet-transport-check.
+        Updated hostlist scripts in contrib/ to reflect new protocol IDs.
+        Allow aborting of gnunet-transport-check with CTRL-C.
+        Allow testing of bi-directional transports behind NAT with
+        gnunet-transport-check.
+        
+Fri Dec 22 19:21:25 MST 2006
+        Added option to set maximum number of file descriptors
+        (convenience for OS X users where the default is too low).
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1.
+
+Thu Dec 21 20:03:07 MST 2006
+        Fixed gnunet-insert "-e" option.  Fixed various
+        crashes in client code.  Improved OS X portability.
+        
+Tue Dec 19 19:03:48 MST 2006
+        Allowing GNUnet (without gnunet-setup) to be build
+        on systems without guile.
+
+Sun Dec 17 16:54:33 MST 2006
+        Various improvements for OS X portability.
+        CPU load detection fix for Solaris.
+
+Sat Dec 16 11:42:13 MST 2006
+        Bugfixes in collection library (gnunet-pseudonym).
+        
+Mon Dec 11 21:11:54 MST 2006
+        Implemented ncurses/dialog based gnunet-setup wizard.
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1pre2.
+
+Sun Dec 10 00:36:11 MST 2006
+        Fixed load calculation code.  More aggressive utilization
+        of available resources.
+
+Mon Dec  4 13:24:12 MST 2006
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1pre1.
+
+Wed Nov 29 22:20:26 MST 2006
+        Fixed various bugs with (de)serialization of FSUI state
+        and closing searches with associated downloads.  Extended
+        FSUI test suite.
+
+Mon Nov 27 08:51:46 MST 2006
+        Added conversion of ECRS error messages to FSUI
+        error event messages.
+
+Sun Nov 19 00:20:14 MST 2006
+        Improved error handling.  gnunetd now can communicate
+        text error messages to clients (not just error codes).
+        
+Wed Nov 15 23:17:36 MST 2006
+        Fixed expiration time setting.  Improved bias of
+        migration towards valuable content.
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.1pre0.

+        Fixed MySQL database size underreporting.
+
+Wed Nov  1 13:09:53 MST 2006
+        Fixed some problems with index creation in sqlite
+        datastore (discovered with new sqlite benchmarking
+        code).  Performance should improve significantly
+        (observed was a factor of 4-10 depending on
+        database size and operation).
+
+Thu Oct 19 23:44:24 MDT 2006
+        Completed huge update to FSUI API (not fully debugged).
+        Major changes include:
+        * clients can associate pointer with each action
+        * abort methods can cancel action (but do not stop everything)
+        * upload and unindex operations can now be suspended and resumed
+        * cleaned up naming conventions
+        
+Thu Sep 14 23:44:17 MDT 2006
+        Breaking UDP transport protocol compatibility -- some
+        fields have to be switched around to make it work with
+        the new select code.  Expect to see some warnings when
+        interacting with 0.7.0 peers.
+
+Tue Sep  5 21:28:25 PDT 2006
+        Switched ncurses interface of gnunet-setup to use
+        external dialog library (new dependency!).
+
+Fri Aug 18 00:01:37 PDT 2006
+        Swiched http bootstrap mechanism to using libcurl
+        (new dependency!).
+
+Sat May 20 08:37:02 PDT 2006
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0e.
+
+Sun May 14 02:51:15 PDT 2006
+        Major gnunet-setup GTK code cleanup (now uses libglade).
+
+Sat May 13 19:35:49 PDT 2006
+        Made headers more C++ friendly.
+
+Wed May 10 22:11:17 PDT 2006
+        Fixing bug that could result in hanging the UDP transport;
+        found by Luigi Auriemma (thanks!).
+
+Sat May  6 00:17:59 PDT 2006
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0d.
+
+Fri May  5 01:33:42 PDT 2006
+        Fixed bug with priorities of IBlocks of uploaded content
+        (priority was left at zero, making those blocks be
+        possibly discarded rather quickly once the datastore filled
+        up).
+
+Tue May  2 00:01:25 PDT 2006
+        Fixed bug in gap where the tracking of query origins for
+        optimizing routing paths lacked a simple assignment of the
+        query origin (found by code inspection).  As a result,
+        routing performance should improve further.  Also fixed
+        small memory leak in gap and reduced memory consumption by
+        fixing Mantis #1058.
+
+Sat Apr 22 13:50:39 PDT 2006
+        Fixed bug in util/cron.c where stopCron() would wait for an
+        unnecessary sleep to complete.
+
+Sat Mar 18 12:54:11 PST 2006
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0c.
+
+Thu Mar 16 22:14:01 PST 2006
+        Fixing various routing problems (resulting in better utilization
+        of bandwidth by routing more content and less queries).
+        
+Wed Mar 15 00:00:14 PST 2006
+        Fixing various content migration bugs (one that disabled it,
+        one that made it unlikely that migration was even tried, and
+        then various crashes in formerly dead code).
+
+Mon Jan 23 19:04:17 PST 2006
+        Added Swedish translation.
+
+Sun Jan  1 21:35:59 PST 2006
+        Reduced amount of hashing done to be O(n) and not O(n^2) for
+        n local search results (for example, for 100 results, this can
+        make the difference between hashing 200 MB and hashing 20 MB).
+
+Sat Dec 31 17:02:37 PST 2005
+        Added support for using -k multiple times in gnunet-pseudonym.
+
+Wen Dec 28 00:22:54 CET 2005
+        Fixed deadlock in http transport.
+
+Fri Dec 23 17:17:18 PST 2005
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0b.
+        
+Sat Nov 19 16:00:16 PST 2005
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0a.
+
+Fri Oct  7 15:28:02 PDT 2005
+        Fixing Mantis #946.
+
+Thu Sep 15 23:56:39 PDT 2005
+        Fixed various gcc 4.0 warnings.
+
+Sun Aug 28 15:29:56 PDT 2005
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.7.0.
+
+Sun Aug 28 01:46:26 PDT 2005
+        Updated German translation.
+
+Tue Aug 23 00:45:57 PDT 2005
+        Fixed undersynchronization that may result in segv if pending
+        download was cancelled.
+
+Mon Aug 22 00:37:11 PDT 2005
+        Made "UPDATE" use a prepared statement in MySQL datastore.
+
+Sun Aug 21 23:08:57 PDT 2005
+        Fixed bugs causing unnecessary long delays for downloads from
+        loopback.  Also now bypassing routing table for loopback download
+        (faster, avoids pollution of the routing table when not needed).
+        
+Sun Aug 21 18:42:14 PDT 2005
+        Fixed memory leak in gnunet-insert -R.  Improved memory utilization
+        by SQlite dramatically (see discussion on gnunet-developers).
+
+Sat Aug 20 21:04:28 PDT 2005
+        Fixed (rare) segmentation fault in insertion code.
+
+Sat Aug 20 19:31:10 PDT 2005
+        Yet another tiny bug -- but one that hangs gnunetd; fixed in pre6a.
+
+Sat Aug 20 13:51:01 PDT 2005
+        Releasing 0.7.0pre6.
+
+Sat Aug 20 12:51:27 PDT 2005
+        Changed sqlite data format to avoid encoding-decoding
+        (breaks compatibility with previous datastores, in particular
+         since conversion code is NOT provided).
+         The page size was also increased, rendering the database files
+         incompatible, too.
+
+Thu Aug 18 21:18:28 PDT 2005
+        Made quotations match GNU standards.
+        
+Wed Aug 17 20:05:19 PDT 2005
+        Fixed bug that would prevent P2P messages from being
+        transmitted under certain (common) circumstances.
+
+Mon Aug 15 00:08:47 PDT 2005
+        Bugfest.  Fixed various bugs in MySQL, fragmentation,
+        core and fs (see Mantis for more details).
+
+Mon Jul 18 01:03:05 CEST 2005
+        Alpha-rename fest.  Releasing 0.7.0pre5.
+
+Sun Jul 17 13:49:40 CEST 2005
+        Fixed problems with struct alignment on 64-bit
+        AMDs.  Fixed recently introduced memory leak.
+        Fixed various compiler warnings.
+        
+Sat Jul 16 23:55:31 CEST 2005
+        Fixed various minor problems with platforms
+        without gettext/NLS support and for 64-bit size_ts.
+        Also fixed a couple of other compiler warnings.
+        Cleaned up connection.c code.
+
+Mon Jul 11 14:41:18 CEST 2005
+        Fixed tiny memory leak in http_bootstrap.
+
+Mon Jul 11 02:22:24 CEST 2005
+        Fixed long-standing problems in statuscalls wrt
+        network load estimates, leading to too-high bandwidth
+        consumption on average.  Fixed minor memory leaks.
+        Fixed far too often session-key exchange (was done
+        also for sessions that were already up).
+
+Thu Jul  7 15:22:21 CEST 2005
+        Fixed bug in identity, missing ntohs for protocol ID.
+        Fixed bug in topology, wrong calculation of saturation. 
+        
+Wed Jul  6 22:34:30 CEST 2005
+        Fixed bugs in core with respect to possible infinite
+        recursion caused by fragmentation callbacks.  Also
+        differenciated between fatal transport sends and
+        transient transport sends.  Cleanup of some APIs.
+        
+Sat Jul  2 17:21:07 CEST 2005
+        Fixed bugs in gnunet-pseudonym (listing of namespaces),
+        FSUI (double-free for namespace creation), cleaned up
+        APIs and implemented clearing of completed downloads
+        (FSUI). Releasing 0.7.0pre4.
+        
+Fri Jul  1 15:08:42 CEST 2005
+        Added statistics for transports and other connection-
+        related functions.  Prevented core from dropping
+        messages just because transport is (temporarily)
+        blocked.  Made transport selection in identity random
+        again where necessary.
+        
+Thu Jun 30 20:05:15 CEST 2005
+        Added cache for KBlocks (can speed up insertion speed
+        for recursive inserts quite a bit).
+        
+Thu Jun 30 13:52:17 CEST 2005
+        Enabled IPv6 by default.  Fixed various minor bugs.
+        
+Tue Jun 28 13:41:58 UTC 2005
+        Fixed various open FIXMEs, including error handling,
+        bad performance and some memory leaks (gnunet-tools
+        only, not in gnunetd).
+        
+Mon Jun 27 17:21:09 CEST 2005
+        Fixed double-free segfault.
+        Fixed problem with session timeout not happening.
+        Fixed issue with too lazy slot reclaim for reconnect.
+        Made reconnect scanning more incremental (1/10th of
+        the work every 500ms instead of full work every 5s).
+        Fixed memory leak in advertisement processing.
+
+Sun Jun 26 18:21:17 CEST 2005
+        Plenty of bugfixes everywhere, gnunet-setup works
+        now.  Releasing 0.7.0pre3.
+        
+Sat Jun 11 11:25:24 EST 2005
+        Fixed various problems with recursive upload
+        (thread stack size too small, wrong filenames
+        passed around, wrong list of filenames updated).        
+
+Sat Apr  2 01:54:23 EST 2005
+        Various bugfixes, some of them critical (segfaults,
+        protocol errors (resulting in failures to connect),
+        old version of configuration file would be
+        generated if configuration was missing,
+        gnunet-insert would not properly work with multiple
+        keywords (-k and -K options)). Releasing 0.7.0pre2.
+
+Thu Mar 31 21:38:06 EST 2005
+        Releasing 0.7.0pre1.
+
+Tue Mar  8 14:45:55 EST 2005
+        OpenSSL cannot fully support SHA-512.  Eliminated as an
+        option (not necessary, GPL incompatible, trouble, work
+        to maintain -- in summary: not worth it).
+
+Sat Mar  5 00:33:51 EST 2005
+        Changing hash algorithm to SHA-512.
+        Changing symcipher algorithm to AES-256.
+
+Sun Feb 27 21:59:31 EST 2005
+        All unit testcases pass.  Releasing 0.7.0pre0.
+
+Sat Feb 12 17:35:08 EST 2005
+        Fixed mysql-test.  Changed MySQL to use prepared statements,
+        avoids conversion (mysql_escape_string) and is faster on the
+        server-side, too.
+
+Wed Dec 15 20:47:40 EST 2004
+        Removed support for password encryption of namespace keys.
+        Hardly used and adds hardly any security.  Encrypt /home if
+        you need this, would be more effective anyway.
+
+Fri Nov 26 06:27:12 EST 2004
+        Sessionkey exchange works now, at least with OpenSSL.  There
+        seems to be some quirk in some version of libcrypt with
+        respect to RSA encryption.  Anyway, it is a heisenbug (sometimes
+        RSA decryption does not result in what was originally
+        encrypted), but I have the feeling this problem existed
+        already in 0.6.5 -- and it is now detected and does not
+        occur all the time.
+
+Tue Nov 23 02:35:50 EST 2004
+        The CVS may look like it's compiling, but that's just because
+        most of the service modules are not even attempted.
+        And without those, nothing will work.  But in good news,
+        util, transport and server do compile now.
+        
+Sun Nov 21 03:53:22 EST 2004
+        Starting to make incompatible changes.  Once this is commited
+        to CVS (which will only happen once at least some parts compile
+        again), this version will no longer be compatible with any
+        previously released version of GNUnet (and highly experimental).
+        Do not yet use the new code on-line, do not expect it to work
+        at all!
+
+Sun Nov 14 16:49:02 EST 2004
+        Debugged collections, seems to work (not that it looks pretty,
+        but it basically works, the rest is UI work).  Fixed deadlock
+        in gnunet-gtk logging.  Releasing GNUnet 0.6.5.
+
+Thu Nov  4 09:04:48 EST 2004
+        Added (highly experimental) support for collections.
+
+Sat Sep 25 22:29:48 EST 2004
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4a.
+
+Sun Sep 19 23:39:04 EST 2004
+        Various code cleanups and minor bugfixes.
+
+Sun Aug 29 15:11:28 IST 2004
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.6.4.
+
+Tue Aug 24 20:59:14 IST 2004
+        Significant enhancements to namespaces.  A namespace can
+        now be annotated with meta-data at the time that it is
+        created.
+        
+Sat Aug 21 01:00:06 IST 2004
+        Adding GNU gettext support to configure.
+        
+Thu Aug 19 01:26:55 IST 2004
+        Migrating gnunet-gtk to GTK 2.0 (tested with 2.4).
+
+Mon Aug 16 00:30:59 IST 2004
+        Removed gcry.  Added dependency on GNU MP library (libgmp)
+        for kblocks.
+
+Tue Aug  3 17:57:43 IST 2004
+        Fixed bugs in gnunet-update.  Fixed segfault in AFS startup.
+        Fixed warnings in gnunet-peer-info/gnunetd.  Fixed packaging
+        error (not all of util/gcry included in distribution).
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3a.
+
+Mon Aug  2 20:06:07 IST 2004
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.6.3.
+
+Sun Aug  1 01:31:19 IST 2004
+        Changed most places from HexName to the new, shorter EncName.
+        Pushed URIs for namespaces and keyword searches into more
+        widespread use.  Replaced all occurences of sprintf with
+        SNPRINTF (to obtain extra bounds check).
+        
+Sun Jul 11 13:54:01 IST 2004
+        Moved testcases for libgnunet_util to util/ directory.
+        Made DB testcases in afs/module/ run for each available
+        database and not just the one configured in /etc/gnunet.conf.
+
+Fri Jun 25 21:05:59 IST 2004
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2b (resolves various minor bugs).
+
+Wed May  5 17:34:39 EST 2004
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2a (resolves libgcrypt and packageing
+        issues, improved gtk-statistics, other minor bugfixes).
+        
+Fri Apr 30 21:36:23 EST 2004
+        Fixed synchronization problem in cron (only relevant for
+        parallel downloading).  Releasing GNUnet 0.6.2.
+
+Mon Apr 26 21:13:45 EST 2004
+        Added support to gnunet-check to convert file index database
+        to new design.  Removed support for pre 0.6.1b bloomfilter
+        conversion (would have been too messy to support both).
+        Added old-version check to gnunetd startup to make updates
+        more systematic in the future (not perfect, though).
+
+Mon Apr 26 19:27:29 EST 2004
+        Recursive insertion of directories with gnunet-gtk
+        now works including the progress bar.
+
+Sun Apr 25 18:24:55 EST 2004
+        Global changes to fix bug #698.  The fix is still
+        incomplete with respect to pthread.h specific structs.
+        
+Sun Apr 25 15:20:29 EST 2004
+        Fixed compile error in IPv6 transports.
+
+Fri Apr 23 23:38:01 EST 2004
+        Added recursive insertion of directories to gnunet-gtk.
+        Progress-bar does not work yet, also libextractor is
+        always used (no option to turn it off).
+        
+Fri Apr 23 21:49:18 EST 2004
+        Removed need to specify _protocol in configuration file
+        (shorter is better).
+
+Wed Apr 21 23:32:36 EST 2004
+        Added code to bound priority used by clients by twice the
+        average priority of requests from other peers that are
+        routed at the moment.  That prevents clients from exposing
+        themselves with excessively high priorities (and also
+        avoids giving too much credit/trust needlessly).
+
+Tue Apr 20 22:27:19 EST 2004
+        Added possibility of using a link instead of making a copy
+        if gnunetd and the insert-client both run on the same machine.
+
+Tue Apr 20 00:00:58 EST 2004
+        Added network transparency for indexing files (by copying
+        them to a GNUnet(d) specific directory).  This breaks
+        unindexing (for files indexed with previous versions) and
+        forces the user to make a copy of the file.  In the near
+        future we should resolve this problem by allowing the use
+        of a link.
+
+Sun Apr 18 17:24:34 EST 2004
+        Adding recursive, parallel download of directories to
+        gnunet-download
+
+Sun Apr 18 01:57:32 EST 2004
+        gnunet-transport-check can now be used to check
+        external connectivity (with other peers).
+        
+Sat Apr 17 17:46:19 EST 2004
+        Reduced memory consuption for AFS insertion and
+        download.
+        
+Sat Apr 10 21:17:46 EST 2004
+        Implemented statistics-plot in gnunet-gtk based on
+        gnome-system-monitor code.
+
+Fri Apr  9 22:01:51 EST 2004
+        Added support for libextractor > 0.2.7.
+        
+Fri Apr  9  0:29:20 EST 2004
+        Completed --help conversion.
+
+Wed Mar 31 15:40:51 EST 2004
+        Releasing 0.6.1d.
+
+Tue Mar 30 22:42:13 EST 2004
+        Integrated gnunet-pseudonym-create, -delete and -list into
+        gnunet-pseudonym as well as gnunet-directory-list, -emptydb
+        and -print into gnunet-directory.
+
+Tue Mar  2 10:46:01 EST 2004
+        Fixing bug preventing download for indexed files <= 1k.
+
+Sat Feb 28 03:43:34 EST 2004
+        Releasing 0.6.1c.
+
+Sat Feb 21 06:16:47 EST 2004
+        Modified requestmanager to improve performance at the end of the
+        download.
+
+Thu Feb 19 00:48:33 EST 2004
+        Fixed integer underflow possibly causing slow download performance.
+        
+Sun Feb 15 15:17:05 EST 2004
+        Fixed weak key failures with libgcrypt.
+
+Sun Feb 15 13:14:44 EST 2004
+        New routing code (untested) commited.
+
+Sun Feb 15 11:58:10 EST 2004
+        Fixing problem with 64-bit size_t on alpha (#655).
+
+Sat Jan 31 04:32:33 EST 2004
+        Releasing 0.6.1b.
+
+Fri Jan 23 00:00:09 EST 2004
+        Fixed indexed content being overwritten by migrated content
+        
+Thu Jan 22 19:27:33 EST 2004
+        Fixed integer-overflow problems in statuscalls.
+        Fixed missing ttl/priority adjustment for NS-Queries.
+        Fixed bug in routing that would let very old queries survive.
+
+Thu Jan 15 23:14:54 EST 2004
+        Fixed size of super-bloomfilter (was factor of 32 to small).
+        Fixed option -r of gnunet-check (would not increment bloom filters
+        to appropriate value).
+
+Wed Dec 31 17:07:40 EST 2003
+        Fixed various routing and bandwidth allocation problems.
+        Releasing 0.6.1a.
+
+Wed Dec 24 00:00:00 EST 2003
+        Releasing 0.6.1.
+        
+Fri Dec 19 00:57:29 EST 2003
+        NAT transport passes tests.
+
+Sat Dec 13 00:16:41 EST 2003
+        Added NAT transport.
+
+Thu Oct 16 19:20:29 EST 2003
+        Added greedy knapsack heuristic for use by CPU-overloaded
+        systems.
+
+Mon Oct 13 22:36:45 EST 2003
+        Improved gnunet-gtk code that forks of gnunetd (some extra checking,
+        use fork-exec instead of system(), pass configuration file as
+        argument).
+
+Sun Oct 12 03:42:55 EST 2003
+        Split bandwidth montoring into up and downstream.
+        Why stop sending replies merely because we *receive* traffic!?
+        Also reduced frequency of HELO exchange.
+        Added more statistics (traffic by type).
+
+Fri Oct 10 02:05:13 EST 2003
+        Fixed bug that wasted a lot of CPU time.
+        Better CPU usage control by making knapsack
+        solving (frequency and problem size) dependent
+        on CPU load.
+
+Thu Oct  9 14:29:35 EST 2003
+        Releasing 0.6.0a.
+
+Sun Oct  5 21:35:23 EST 2003
+        GNUnet 0.6.0 released.
+
+Sat Oct  4 12:54:55 EST 2003
+        Fixed bug in timer code (discovered in testcase).       
+        Added extensive testcases for platform dependent code.
+
+Fri Sep 19 01:38:00 EST 2003
+        Added code to allow namespace queries to return multiple
+        results.  Updates are now displayed in separate tabs.
+
+Wed Sep 17 23:54:15 EST 2003
+        Migrated libgcrypt code in util to comply with
+        libgcrypt 1.1.43 (and it passes the tests just fine)
+        
+Wed Sep 17 22:59:16 EST 2003
+        Fixed problems with updates in namespaces in the GTK code.
+        Added boolean search capability (x AND y) to GTK search.
+        Made namespace search frequency respect TTL delays.
+        
+Thu Aug 21 19:42:57 EST 2003
+        GNUnet 0.5.5 released.
+
+Tue Aug 12 20:48:39 EST 2003
+        Support for namespaces with updates is there,
+        but requires testing.
+
+Sun Jul 27 14:48:19 EST 2003
+        Added download summary window to gnunet-gtk.
+        
+Fri Jul 25 14:15:37 CET 2003
+        Unioned gnunet-insert-multi and gnunet-insert-sblock
+        into gnunet-insert.
+        
+Thu Jun 26 23:22:12 EST 2003
+        Added draft support for directories.
+
+Thu Jun 26 23:21:41 EST 2003
+        GNUnet 0.5.4a released
+
+Sat Jun 14 19:21:41 EST 2003
+        Added support for HTTP-PROXY to download the hostlist.
+        
+Wed May 29 01:13:15 EST 2003
+        Fixing some ugly bugs in connection.c that caused
+        permanent connection-drop and connection-establish
+        cycles (every 5 minutes).
+        
+Sat May 24 03:12:42 EST 2003
+        Migrated subset of libgcrypt into GNUnet tree to use
+        it instead of OpenSSL or libgcrypt.  RSA in the new
+        code is broken at the moment.
+
+Sun May 18 04:10:25 EST 2003
+        GNUnet 0.5.4 released.
+
+Sat May 10 21:39:35 EST 2003
+        Only download hostlist after a while if we were
+        not able to connect (to reduce load on hostlist
+        servers).
+
+Fri May  2 23:20:15 EST 2003
+        Added code to handle massive collisions in datastore
+        (thousands of files under the same keyword).
+
+Sun Apr 27 23:52:12 EST 2003
+        GNUnet 0.5.3 released.
+        
+Wed Apr 23 03:20:21 EST 2003
+        Build system cleanup, location of mysql, gdbm, tdb and
+        db can now be specified.
+
+Mon Apr 21 01:54:24 EST 2003
+        Made random content selection with pIdx faster
+        (do not read entire pidx files) and fully random
+        (added code to weigh pidx files by number of entries).
+
+Sun Apr 20 23:25:45 EST 2003
+        Fixed double-free in TCP transport code (seems to have
+        only had a real chance to occur under BSD in practice).
+
+Sat Apr 19 14:42:37 EST 2003
+        Replaced use of dlopen for plugins with the more
+        portable ltdl from libtool.
+        
+Thu Apr 17 20:36:42 EST 2003
+        Added synchronization to pIdx, also use truncate
+        to remove last n entries instead of re-writing the
+        entire file (much, much faster).
+        
+Mon Apr  7 00:00:07 EST 2003
+        Implemented gnunet-delete.
+
+Sat Apr  5 15:55:31 EST 2003
+        Made directory database use 256 sub-directories
+        (should increase speed a lot, with the new DB
+        manager, this will result in at most 2048
+        files per directory).
+
+Mon Mar 31 16:51:24 EST 2003
+        gnunet-convert and gnunet-check compile again
+        with the new DB code.
+        
+Sun Mar 30 13:14:52 CET 2003
+        Added BSD DB (libdb) support.
+        
+Sun Mar 23 04:04:38 EST 2003
+        Big gnunet-gtk cleanup.
+        
+Tue Mar 18 01:52:18 EST 2003
+        Releasing 0.5.2a.
+
+Sun Mar 16 20:24:24 EST 2003
+        Caching of RSA signatures for HELOs reduced CPU
+        usage dramatically, from an average of 31% to less
+        than 5% on my machine.
+
+Sun Mar 16 01:21:16 EST 2003
+        Fixed locking problem and problem with TCP transport
+        (bad set of sockets in select).
+
+Sat Mar 15 03:02:42 EST 2003
+        Fixed bug that copied wrong content (garbage) into
+        replies for other peers.  This one was introduced
+        briefly before 0.5.2. Argh.
+
+Fri Feb 28 00:23:02 EST 2003
+        Fixed segfault in gnunet-gtk when closing search
+        sub-window.
+
+Thu Feb 27 16:23:20 EST 2003
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.5.2.
+
+Mon Feb 24 00:28:52 EST 2003
+        Cleaning up the AFS routing code, also some tweaks
+        to improve anonymity against an active attacker.
+
+Thu Feb 20 23:51:30 EST 2003
+        gnunet-tracekit works now nicely (and with dot).
+        Also, GNUnet now attempts to locate a configuration
+        file in /etc/gnunet.conf if ~/.gnunet/gnunet.conf
+        does not exist (and nothing is specified on the
+        command line).
+
+Wed Feb 12 23:21:44 EST 2003
+        Fixed deadlock between pingpong and connection
+        module.
+
+Tue Feb  4 13:22:09 EST 2003
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.5.1(a).
+
+Tue Feb  4 04:05:58 EST 2003
+        RSA encryption of OpenSSL has been changed to pure
+        PKCS #1 to achieve compatibility with libgcrypt.
+
+Mon Feb  3 18:46:54 EST 2003
+        RSA signature encoding has been changed from raw
+        to PKCS #1 compatible encoding. This should help
+        making the migration to libgcrypt easier in the
+        future. RSA & libgcrypt are still not friends,
+        but the GNUnet code should be mostly there.
+
+Fri Jan 31 10:40:01 EST 2003
+        gnunet-peer-info tool was added. This tool can
+        prints information about all known peers and may
+        be useful for diagnostics.
+
+Mon Jan 20 17:54:51 EST 2003
+        A large number of memory leaks got fixed thanks
+        to the new automated scripts to find them.
+
+Thu Jan 16 00:49:20 EST 2003
+        Nearly finished removing dependencies on OpenSSL
+        (using libgcrypt instead), $FOO-expansion in
+        configuration parsing and RSA (public key crypto)
+        are the only missing pieces.    
+
+Mon Jan 13 01:53:45 EST 2003
+        Fixed deadlock in gnunetd (would stop processing
+        messages).
+
+Sun Dec 27 13:34:11 CET 2002
+        Fixed segmentation fault that occured when number
+        of known peers goes over 128.
+        
+Sat Dec 21 16:27:11 CET 2002
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.5.0.
+
+Sat Dec 14 03:47:05 CET 2002
+        Bugfixes over bugfixes. Various memory leaks
+        from gnunetd to gnunet-download, problems
+        with bloomfilters and gnunet-check, enforcing
+        storage limitations set by the user, fixes
+        in the UDP, TCP and SMTP transports;
+        better thread termination (avoid asynchronous
+        cancellation). Not to mention the new
+        tools gnunet-transport-check and gnunet-tbench
+        for the evaulation of correctness and performance
+        of the transport services.
+
+Wed Nov  6 22:49:24 EST 2002
+        Added load smoothing for network and CPU load
+        such that we quickly adapt to increasing load,
+        but slowly reduce the (effective) load value
+        used in the policy if the load drops. This should
+        help avoiding 0-1 policies where we always jump
+        up and down between 100% load and no load, letting
+        in one period all traffic through and in the next
+        none.
+
+Wed Nov  6 00:31:39 EST 2002
+        Added port==0 for UDP and TCP transport as an
+        option to indicate that the transport is to be
+        used only to establish connections to other
+        peers but not as a server-socket (that is,
+        if the port is 0, other GNUnet peers can not
+        connect to the local node's UDP or TCP port,
+        but the local node can still use UDP
+        (unidirectional) or TCP (even bi-directional)
+        to talk to other peers. This is useful if a
+        node is behind a NAT box and can not receive
+        inbound traffic but is able to send messages to
+        other peers (and in the case of TCP even receive
+        messages if the local peer initiated the
+        bi-directional connection). Currently, a peer
+        must always provide at least one transport under
+        which the peer can be "actively" reached since
+        otherwise other peers will not keep the public
+        key of that peer and thus not be able to
+        complete the session key exchange. For NAT-box
+        peers, SMTP might be a viable choice for that
+        "active" protocol.
+
+Fri Oct 11 02:16:42 EST 2002
+        Added bloomfilter interface and calls to the BF from
+        the AFS service implementation. Missing for working
+        bloomfilter are calls from gnunet-insert to update
+        the bloom-filter (top-CHK and super-queries) and the
+        actual bloom-filter implementation.
+        
+Tue Oct  8 20:35:45 EST 2002
+        TCP transport now works with only one thread (using
+        select) instead of one thread per peer-connection.
+
+Fri Sep 27 02:24:52 EST 2002
+        New content encoding (still only 1k blocks, but with
+        CHK style IBocks and GBlocks for aggressive content
+        migration) now seems to work.
+
+Mon Sep 16 01:57:55 EST 2002
+        Implemented gnunet-chat, a demo-application for
+        how to develop p2p applications on top of GNUnet.
+
+Sun Sep 15 22:48:28 EST 2002
+        Fixing (long standing) problem with segfaults under BSD
+        due to stack overflow in threads.
+
+Sun Sep 15 02:04:52 EST 2002
+        TCP transport layer implementation seems to work now.
+        gnunet.conf is now documented on the web. HELO exchange
+        is fixed, so is the CS-connection whitelisting.
+
+Fri Sep 13 00:51:01 EST 2002
+        Update on the progress towards 0.4.9. What is missing?
+        * new content encoding to facilitate:
+          - content migration
+          - discriminated routing (downloads vs. searches)
+          - variable blocksize (?)
+          - self-synchronizing stream encoding (?)
+        * additional transport layers (SMTP, TCP, HTTP)
+        * demo application (chat) for how to use the API
+        * documentation on new gnunet.conf
+        * known bugs:
+          - Igor reports, HELO exchange is broken
+          - David reports, CS-connection whitelisting is broken
+          - rpm.spec is outdated (add GNUnet's dynamic libraries)
+
+        What has been resolved so far:
+        Major:
+        * transport and application layer have been abstracted
+        * dynamic loading of transports and applications is
+          implemented
+        * routing much faster since slots are freed earlier
+        * querymanager is more intelligent in where to send
+          queries (presumably, not tested)
+
+        Refactoring:
+        * configuration can store options from commandline
+        * statistics is totally dynamic and can be extended
+        * connection buffer does callbacks on applications to
+          fill buffers with queries instead of noise, and
+          the querymanager makes use of this
+
+        Moving:
+        * common/ is gone
+        * gnettypes.h is gone
+        * AFS specific code is all in AFS
+        * renaming is also done
+
+Sun Aug 25 15:30:56 EST 2002
+        Moving work towards 0.4.9 to CVS. The major goals are:
+        * independent transport layer (UDP, TCP, SMTP, HTTP,
+          any of these should be possible in the future); also,
+          the MTU may be defined differently by any one of them.
+        * independent application layer. Anonymous File Sharing
+          (AFS) should just be one application for the GNUnet
+          core.
+
+        Other minor goals and refactorings include:
+        * configuration - we should be able to update dynamically
+          options from the gnunet.conf file. E.g. by adding options
+          from the command line
+        * statistics - we should not have a hardwired fixed set
+          of datapoints, the statistics module should be useful
+          for any kind of statistics
+        * noise reduction - the connection buffer should allow
+          the use of intelligent applications that get notified
+          if noise would be send and then can plug in useful data
+
+        And then there is just moving stuff:
+        * move "common/" to where it belongs (either applications
+          or server)
+        * gnettypes is bad if we want to seperate app specifcs
+          and core. The typedefs should be placed where they are
+          used
+        * database does not belong in util, it's AFS specific
+        * AFS: cleaner separation between database, encoding,
+          protocol implementation, shell-tools and GUI code.
+        
+        And finally, renaming:
+        * if we have TCP for peer-to-peer communications,
+          we can't use "TCP" vs. "UDP" to distinguish p2p from
+          client-server, thus: "UDP" becomes "p2p" and "TCP"
+          becomes "CS". At least where they were used to distinguish
+          node-to-node and client-server (gnunetd).
+
+Sun Aug 25 15:02:31 EST 2002
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.4.6.
+
+Thu Aug 22 01:31:21 EEST 2002
+        gnunet-gtk should now be able to perform multiple
+        search and download operations simultaneously (atleast a couple).
+
+Tue Aug 20 23:11:10 EEST 2002
+        Fixed segfault in gnunet-search and gnunet-gtk which appeared
+        when there was lots of results.
+        Modified gnunetd to return more results at once if there
+        is excess bandwidth.
+        
+Sun Aug 18 23:57:10 EST 2002
+        Reworked the lookup-database. The old database got
+        into trouble storing data when it was 6% full. Some
+        simulations show that the new approach should manage
+        94% and should be about as fast (more CPU, presumably
+        slightly fewer random disc accesses).
+        This change is INCOMPATIBLE with 0.4.5. You *must*
+        run "gnunet-check -a" before starting this new version
+        of gnunetd in order to migrate to the new format. For
+        database simulation and statistical numbers, see
+        also src/historical/simula.c.
+
+Fri Aug 16 17:07:15 EST 2002
+        Releasing GNUnet 0.4.5.
+
+Fri Aug 16 16:43:39 EST 2002
+        Added feature that will allow the specification of
+        multiple URLs for downloading the initial hostlist.
+
+Mon Aug 12 02:28:14 EST 2002
+        Fixed big problem in requestmanager that would
+        make downloads *very* slow for no good reason
+        at all (ttl increment in wrong place would make
+        us defer the next request for more than twice
+        as long as needed, plus some other minor bugs).
+
+Mon Aug 12 01:31:03 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug #347 (option "-H" to gnunet-clients for
+        connecting to a remote gnunetd node).
+
+Mon Aug 12 01:10:17 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug #348 (no more scan of the entire database
+        on startup, instead the databases (gdbm, tdb) contain
+        an entry that gives the nubmer of entries). Note that
+        this is not done for contentdatabase_directory.
+
+Sun Aug 11 17:00:03 EEST 2002
+        Crude file insertion capabilities added to gnunet-gtk gui.
+
+Thu Aug  8 19:13:34 EST 2002
+        Added progress bar / printing of insertion status to
+        gnunet-insert (option "-V").
+
+Thu Aug  8 19:02:33 EST 2002
+        Cleaning up code (establishing sessions, etc.)
+
+Thu Aug  8 18:03:05 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug #343 (overflow in stats) by moving to
+        long long. Let's hope that __BYTE_ORDER is
+        actually defined outside of netinet/in.h.
+
+Thu Aug  8 17:47:17 EST 2002
+        Fixed gnunetd segfaulting if gnunet.conf is not
+        available. Also, recvfrom returning -1 with
+        errno == EAGAIN was fixed earlier.
+
+Wed Jul 31 23:38:36 EST 2002
+        Released 0.4.4.
+
+Wed Jul 31 21:35:53 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug with TCP connection that would not
+        free thread resources and eventually lead to
+        gnunetd not being able to start new threads
+        anymore (mantis: #339).
+
+Tue Jul 30 23:38:51 EST 2002
+        Fixed SIGHUP exiting. The main loop was exiting
+        because recvfrom returned -1 with errno EINTR,
+        which caused us to break out of the main loop.
+        Also added gnunetd.pid file to simplify killing
+        (or re-reading configuration of) the server.
+        You must specify the PIDFILE in gnunet.conf!
+
+Tue Jul 30 20:38:47 EST 2002
+        Started writing code to enable re-reading of the
+        configuration file whenever we receive a SIGHUP.
+        Works, except that after we've read the new
+        config file, gnunetd exits (unknown why).
+
+Mon Jul 29 18:52:23 EST 2002
+        Added shutdown code that terminates connection when
+        SIGTERM is received (to avoid keeping lots of UDP
+        traffic for the next couple of minutes from hosts
+        that still believe we're up).
+        
+Sat Jul 27 12:39:47 EST 2002
+        Added code to measure network load asymmetrically (useful
+        for DSL users).
+
+Fri Jul 26 22:46:54 EST 2002
+        Released 0.4.3.
+        
+Wed Jul 24 21:13:08 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug in locking and segfault (Linux tolerated,
+        BSD crashed, both in connection.c), added logging service.
+
+Tue Jul 23 00:41:17 EST 2002
+        Made gnunetd fork like a nice deamon should. Also
+        started to add a logging service.
+        
+Sun Jul 21 20:39:20 EST 2002
+        Fixed issue with check_database (index checking too
+        strict if content is available in database and
+        on-demand encoded; also a bounds check was missing).
+
+Sun Jul 21 16:05:20 EST 2002
+        Fixed deadlock in heloexchange (knownhost requires
+        recursive lock).
+
+Sun Jul 21 02:02:32 EST 2002
+        Improved routing table. Now does more dynamic memory
+        allocation, reducing the fixed-size per slot from 700
+        to 56 bytes. Increased number of slots from 512 to
+        8092 (which is the optimal number for a 56 kbps
+        modem connection).
+
+Sat Jul 20 23:57:06 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug that caused problems for files
+        that were indexed and that had spaces in
+        the filename.
+
+Wed Jul 17 22:50:24 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug that prohibited a transitive HELO exchange
+        in many cases.

+Wed Jul 17 01:48:44 EST 2002
+        Fixed a couple of bugs in gnunet-check and the
+        insertion-tools. Now gnunet-check seems to run like
+        a charm. Running it to detect and fix problems in
+        the GNUnet databases seems now recommendable :-).
+        Note that you must stop gnunetd before running
+        gnunet-check.
+
+Mon Jul 15 22:27:45 EST 2002
+        Added return values for insertion. If we run out of
+        space (in particular for the fixed-size index
+        database), we can now communicate the problem to the
+        user.
+        gnunet-check is now pretty much feature-complete,
+        but it takes of course very, very long to run. There
+        is now also a man-page for gnunet-check.
+
+Thu Jul 11 11:33:34 EST 2002
+        Added randomized order of blocks for the download
+        (patch by I. Wronsky).
+
+Thu Jun 20 21:13:21 EST 2002
+        Added HANGUP, a message send if one side terminates the connection.
+        Sending the message is optional, but it is nicer to have it. Also
+        started on gnunet-check, a tool to check database consistency.
+
+Thu Jun 20 03:11:01 EST 2002
+        Improved handling of collisions in the hashes in the
+        lookup module (uses no longer a linear scan on the
+        collisions file but a hashtable for the collisions!).   
+        
+Tue Jun 18 20:29:38 EST 2002
+        Released GNUnet 0.4.2.
+        
+Tue Jun 18 20:20:55 EST 2002
+        Fixed bugs in blacklisting IPs. Added feature to allow specification
+        which networks are trusted enough to connect to the trusted TCP
+        port (TCP/2086 no longer needs to be firewalled!).
+        
+Tue Jun 18 02:35:53 EST 2002
+        Fixed problems with ttl (negative TTL queries were forwarded),
+        also better flushing of buffers and fewer SKEY exchanges due to
+        a now working implementation of the blacklist. A DNS lookup for
+        the NAT-box-IP configuration was also added.
+
+Sun Jun 16 04:11:01 EST 2002
+        Added code to provide statistics (gnunet-stats).
+        Incomplete.
+
+Sun Jun  9 22:56:02 EST 2002
+        Released GNUnet 0.4.1.
+        
+Sat Jun  8 05:00:36 EST 2002
+        Several small bugfixes (list of shared files not updated on
+        insertion, highest-bit of trust not interpreted as dirty,
+        rpm dependency on libextractor added.
+        Also many improvments to the build process.
+
+Wed Jun  5 17:01:58 EST 2002
+        Made sure that HELOs don't trigger Ping-Pong if we don't
+        really learn anything new.
+
+Tue Jun  4 17:17:45 EST 2002
+        The port numbers were not in network-byte order. Fixing
+        this is trivial, but it breaks compatibility with 0.4.0.
+        Thanks to Rick Kennell for reporting the endianess issue.
+        
+Mon Jun  3 20:35:47 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug with CRC not endian-converted in gnunet-gtk.
+        Added mimetype and filename support to gnunet-gtk.
+
+Sun Jun  2 03:52:18 EST 2002
+        Released 0.4.0.
+
+Sat Jun  1 22:13:12 EST 2002
+        Added three-way handshake for SKEY exchange. Not tested.
+        
+Sat Jun  1 16:55:18 EST 2002
+        Fixed potential DDoS problem where malicious hosts could
+        trick GNUnet servers to repeatedly probe a non-partitipating host
+        trying to establish a connection. I wonder how many other
+        p2p systems are vulnerable. (Fix: after HELO, play PING-PONG).
+        The endianess issues should be fixed throughout the system, but
+        not tested on a real machine so far.    
+
+Sat May 25 15:55:11 EST 2002
+        Moved to new CVS server. First changes towards 0.4.0:
+        * mostly-big-endian
+        * insert/index via TCP
+        * bugfixes (mostly performance)
+
+Sat May 18 16:00:06 EST 2002
+        Added mimetype, filename and version number to RootNodes
+        (mostly incompatible change!). Added automatic generic keyword
+        and mime-type extraction via libextractor to gnunet-insert.
+
+Tue May 14 23:59:40 EST 2002
+        New storage database is starting to look good. We can now store
+        the data in a directory (one file per block), a gdbm database,
+        and presumably (not tested) in a tdb database.
+
+Sat May 11 22:10:56 EST 2002
+        Completed, deployed and tested the new TCPIO code. This changes
+        the gnunetd-client protocol. Essentially, we convert the TCP stream
+        into records with a length and type header. This should allow us
+        to fix bug #212 and add other features in the future. The current
+        change is really only changing the core TCP code and not anything
+        around it. We should deploy some demultiplexing code later.
+
+Tue May  7 20:56:40 EST 2002
+        Added IP blacklisting (for virtual private networks).   
+
+Sat May  4 14:08:23 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug with bad insertion of files smaller than 1k.
+
+Fri May  3 23:25:16 EST 2002
+        Added IP change detection (useful for dialup) [bug #272].
+        Added code to ensure that a HELO is life instantly
+        after receiving it, fixing the 'unknown host,
+        refusing SKEY problem' (bug #273). Other minor  
+        bugfixes (#274, #283).
+
+Sun Apr 14 22:36:03 EST 2002
+        Added option to allow NAT boxes not to exchange
+        foreign HELOs and thus expose the private
+        network. Fixed bug that all other hosts should
+        in fact do this exchange.
+
+Sat Apr 13 11:02:59 EST 2002
+        Make sure that files are readable before returning TRUE
+        in assertIsFile()
+
+Fri Apr 12 03:01:06 EST 2002
+        Added padding messages with random if maximum
+        packet size is not reached. All encrypted
+        packets now look absolutely uniform in size
+        for a non-participating adversary (before,
+        a host that had few queries may have sent packets
+        that were less than the maximum size).
+
+Thu Apr 11 01:43:28 EST 2002
+        Added sequence numbers to protocol to defend
+        against replay attacks (bug #185).
+
+Wed Apr 10 02:07:25 EST 2002
+        Bugfix gnunet-insert-mp3 (endless loop).
+        Updated documentation.
+        
+Mon Apr  8 00:07:15 EST 2002
+        Fixed endless-loop bug when activemigration is turned
+        on (during startup).
+        
+Fri Apr  5 02:03:13 EST 2002
+        Released 0.3.3.
+        
+Fri Apr  5 00:33:42 EST 2002
+        gnunet-gtk, the gtk+ based GUI is now functional and
+        has all the features of gnunet-search and gnunet-download,
+        including boolean queries. In fact, it is a bit better than
+        gnunet-download as it shows the progress of the download.
+        The manpage for gnunet-gtk was updated. Minor bugfixes.
+        
+Mon Mar 25 02:59:13 EST 2002
+        Changed writeFile to use a fourth parameter which is the
+        desired permissions for the file. Files in data/hosts
+        are now world-readable. Created man pages
+
+Mon Mar 18 17:56:52 EST 2002
+        Released 0.3.2.
+
+Sun Mar 17 10:47:51 EST 2002
+        Got rid of far too frequent key exchange attempts.
+        Added expiration for very-long-dead host keys. Stopped
+        forwarding of expired HELOs (receiver drops anyway).    
+
+Wed Mar 14 05:46:20 EST 2002
+        Fixed some file location inconsistencies. All files are
+        now in $HOME/GNUnet. RPM installation points to /var/GNUnet
+        and the config file is ~/GNUnet/gnunet.conf
+        Finished port to FreeBSD. This included mostly changes
+        to src/util/statuscalls.c, but also several changes to
+        the build system. Added a stat() call in the server code
+        to make sure the config file exists before sending it to
+        the OpenSSL conf code. Added getopt to source to fix
+        portability issues. Changed FREEBSD defs to SOMEBSD, also
+        changed in configure.in. Compiles and works on at least
+        FreeBSD 4.5 and OpenBSD 3.0
+
+Wed Mar  6 23:15:36 EST 2002
+        Added code for 'fast scan' of the database for
+        content to discard (should be called partial
+        scan). This improves the startup-time dramatically.
+        Every source file got the GNU header.
+        
+Tue Mar  5 22:42:36 EST 2002
+        Added option for *not* participating in content
+        migration. Added timeout option to gnunet-search.
+        gnunetd now periodically (1h) scans for new content,
+        no restarting required.
+
+Mon Mar  4 23:21:51 EST 2002
+        Optimized routing and content migration. Distance
+        of the hash to the identity of the local host is
+        now taken into account for routing. Hosts give
+        higher priority to content that is close to their
+        identity (priority towards keeping it). If the
+        network grows, this should significantly improve
+        the performance. Also, the choice of the hosts
+        for routing is now based on proximity (to the
+        query), the activity level of the host and its
+        credit ranking.
+
+Sun Mar  3 00:14:58 EST 2002
+        Implemented binary queries ("AND") for gnunet-search.
+        Made sure that content is not downloaded again if
+        already present (if there is other content, we
+        overwrite). Fixed bug in gnunet-download
+        (uninitialzied time-to-live).
+        
+Sat Mar  2 01:57:37 EST 2002
+        Finished porting the download-code to C. Now files can
+        be downloaded in using shell commands. No GUI though.
+        Released GNUnet v0.3.1.
+
+Wed Feb 20 23:47:19 EST 2002
+        Big CVS moving operation.
+
+Sat Feb 16 23:17:27 EST 2002
+        Started migration to GNUnet.
+
+Sun Feb  3 01:20:37 EST 2002
+        Extracted crc32 method from zlib and put only that method into
+        primitives. Reduces our memory footprint (if nobody else uses
+        zlib) and we no longer depend no that library (always good).
+
+Sat Feb  2 22:56:32 EST 2002
+        Building final tarball for v0.3.0.
+
+Wed Jan 30 23:41:04 EST 2002
+        Created mp32gnet, a tool to automaticall index mp3 files
+        using information from the mp3 header as keywords (title,
+        artist, album, comments). The mp3 parsing code comes from
+        the GPL tool mp3info.
+
+Tue Jan 29 17:36:48 EST 2002
+        Fixed bug with files that were not closed under certain
+        circumstances and lead to an exhaustion of the number of
+        concurrently open files.
+
+Mon Jan 21 23:34:44 EST 2002
+        Bumping version numbers to v0.3.0 (not yet released, needs some
+        more testing to be on the safe side).
+        
+Sun Jan 20 02:09:06 EST 2002
+        Content gathering now discards the least important
+        content in favour of new, more important content (if
+        there is not space for all content). The cron
+        management is now used everywhere. The rpm, the init-script
+        and the gproxy shell script have been revised.
+        
+Sun Jan 13 23:17:58 EST 2002
+        Created cron management, replacing old control
+        thread (allows for better timing of events).
+        EvaluateContent now gets the priority of the
+        query that the content had.
+        
+Sun Jan 13 00:54:56 EST 2002
+        Improved choice in number of hosts to forward
+        queries to (now dynamic, depending on priority, etc.)
+        Removed many, many allocations in print statements
+        which also caused memory leaks if active (see
+        debugging.h).
+        Added CRC checking of the root node in GProxy. Fixed
+        problem with CRC in IBlocks for large files.
+        Added dialog to GProxy to choose where to save the file.
+
+Sat Jan  5 14:25:31 EST 2002
+        Optimized routing table. Routing table is now a hashtable
+        (collisions are handled by droping either the former or the
+        new entry). Each bucket has it's own lock, the global
+        semaphore is gone. The table has many more entries (we can
+        afford that now that there is no longer a linear search).
+
+Wed Dec 26 19:30:41 CET 2001
+        Created v0.2.0
+
+Tue Dec 25 21:24:18 CET 2001
+        Fixed TTL errors that made queries loop. Added host-evaluation
+        to policy (drop packets from untrusted hosts under load). Found that CRC-errors
+        are related to policy decisions ("drop"), cosmetic fix.
+
+Sun Nov 25 08:10:52 EST 2001
+        Added triple-hash functionality and on-demand encoding (lookup.c).
+
+Sat Nov 24 07:46:10 EST 2001
+        Added randomized choice of hosts for the hosttable.
+
+Thu Nov 22 04:57:57 EST 2001
+        Fixed another bunch of big bugs, tested, seems to work smoothly. Creating V0.1.0.
+
+Mon Nov 19 01:22:42 EST 2001:
+        Fixed biggest (show-stopper) bugs. Creating V0.0.3
+
+Fri Oct 26 02:20:00 EST 2001:
+        Created ChangeLog. Report important changes here,
+        report small changes to CVS only.
