I2P 0.9.15 released!
Written for I2P by KYTV on 2014-09-21
0.9.15 adds preliminary support for Ed25519 EdDSA signatures. It includes a new persistent configuration backend for i2psnark and fixes several issues with i2psnark's handling of file names. There are several improvements to speed up SAM. Plugins now support stronger signatures in the su3 file format. Plugin installation via the console, which was disabled in 0.9.14, is re-enabled.
We have supported ECDSA signatures since 0.9.12, and we would like to start using ECDSA by default. Unfortunately, some of you are still running older I2P versions, and for others, their distribution or Java runtime does not support ECDSA. Red Hat (RHEL, Fedora) distributions are reported to be missing ECDSA. Some have fixed the Java issues by upgrading from Java 6 to Java 7; others have had success with installing the "unlimited strength policy files". We've added information about missing crypto to the log file and the /logs page in the console. After you update to 0.9.15, please check if you are missing ECDSA support, and attempt to fix it if necessary. This is particularly important for those that run popular eepsites and services.
As usual, we recommend that you update to this release. The best way to maintain security and help the network is to run the latest release.
