Release Notes

Dear users,

v0.6.0 is now considered final. This post summarizes the main lines of work since the release of 0.6.0-RC2 (last june).

We’ve been working on improving the existing back-end of 0.6.0 and giving the user interface some cool new features. Here’s a summary:
Authenticated tunnel system

It is now possible to open authenticated/encrypted tunnels between GXS identities (the ones displayed in the “People” tab. The service—named p3GxsTunnels—totally abstracts the transport layer and offers the following features:

    tunnel maintenance for a given client, that gets notified when the tunnel is ready to be used or when it gets closed or killed;
    authentication based on the RSA key that each GXS identity represents;
    PFS encryption based on a DH key exchange using a 2048 bit safe-prime group, renewed each time the tunnel is re-created;
    transport security. Items are notified using ACK packets and re-sent when a ACK is not received. Duplicates are filtered out.

The Distant Chat system has been switched to using this new service. As such, it is not backward compatible  with 0.6.0-RC2 (sorry for that), but is now much more stable and reliable (e.g. distant chat messages always get delivered, provided that a tunnel can be openned).
Review of GXS

We performed a complete review of the GXS network service, that is responsible for the exchange of posts in forums/posted/channels. It is now much more efficient and the code has also been simplified a little bit (which is always good). Some important changes include:

    better synchronisation of messages saving a lot of bandwidth;
    new system for gathering the number of posts in un-subscribed GXS groups, which doesn’t require sending the message list any more. This saves some bandwidth as well.
    debug output system that allows to display the activity of a particular forum from a particular friend.

Special thanks to “Jolavilette” for his endless testing of GXS network system.
Messaging system

The distant messaging system of Retroshare relies on two methods to help messages find their way: tunnel which allow instant delivery at a distant peer but need both the source and destination to be online at the same time, and the routing matrix that allows slower but non synchronised delivery. We have improved the later significantly, which results in distant messaging being much ore reliable.
GUI improvements

A “contact list” can now be managed by the user, in which identities can be grouped together. This allows to rapidly find a distant address to send a message to or to chat to without the need to scroll the entire list in People (which tends to grow large). It is also possible to limit the reception of distant chat and distant messages to the contact list only, in order to avoid spamming.

The GUI layout has generally been improved. We added plenty of tooltips, especially in the crypto-related parts. We also tried to make it compatible with high DPI screens. Some icons still remain too small, but it’s already improved a lot as compared to previous releases. We also added some useful features such as the possibility to export/import the list of friends.

The statistics widget has also been improved. This is mainly cosmetic changes but this widget helps users to isolate the source issues and report to us.
Reputation and anti-spam systems

A lot  of effort has been dedicated to helping users fight trolls. This includes two important features that have both proved very effective:

A reputation system allows to rate the identities in People (using a simple Positive/Neutral/Negative scale represented by numbers -1,0,1 respectively). It has been designed so that:

    it should be easy to rule someone out of your own Retroshare node by a simple click;
    a single user should not be able to drastically change the visibility of someone’s identity on nodes others than its own Retroshare node;
    friends should be able to team up so as to remove an unwanted person from their local network

Your own opinion about some particular identity is shared with your friends (using a differential system which only shares non neutral opinions). A final reputation score (which is a floating point number between -1 and 1) is computed according to the following rules:

    if your own opinion is neutral, the reputation score is the average opinion from your friends
    if not, the reputation score is equal to your own opinion.

The reputation score is then used by the different services using their own rules. For most of them, when the score is below -0.6, the identity is “Banned” and services just don’t accept to use it. Forums for instance mask existing messages from these identities and refuse to forward nor download them either.

Identities that are banned are not time-stamped either, which ensures that they will be removed from your node after 30 days of inactivity.

Forums also have been equipped with anti-spam flags which are:

    “Favor PGP-signed ids”. This raises the acceptance reputation score from 0.0 to 0.4 for unsigned identities, causing anonymous posts to be discarded unless the identity already has a good reputation. As such, forums with this flag ON will not allow anonymous users to create new identities at every post they create.
    “Keep track of posts”. This sounds scary, but this feature only displays in the GUI (using a tooltip for 10 days) the name of the Retroshare friend node that forwarded each particular post to you. This information is useless for every single user (and is could have otherwise been printed out by modifying the code!) but it allows a group of friends to easily team up in order to find out where annoying posts come from and cut the line.

Both flags are OFF by default, and can be changed by the creator of the forum.
I2P proxy support

Users can now create Hidden nodes that use I2P as a proxy. These nodes work exactly like Tor nodes. See the 0.6.0-RC2 release notes for more information.
Security review by Elttam

Retroshare being listed in the EFF secure messaging score board, it has raised the interest of Elttam, an australian team working on software security. They already have sent us a short list of potential security issues which we fixed right away. This is an ongoing process, so we can expect to fix more within the next weeks.

The main bug fixes concern potential buffer overflows, failure of malloc checks, and attacks using the Qt resource system. All the details are listed in the following Elttam blog post.

Special thanks to Elttam for putting some effort in fixing up Retroshare!
Various back-end inprovements

SQlite performance has been improved using the GXS datastore for message data and metadata. We added packet grouping in pqistreamer. This apparently reduces the bandwidth caused by OpenSSL to first pad and encrypt many small packets.

The network back-end has been improved. The goal is to support IPv6 in the next future (This is the work of an external contributor “G10H4ck”. Special thx to him)
Conclusion

We provide builds for windows, MacOS (that now work with plugins!), and Ubuntu (on the ppa. See here), in the GitHub repository.

This version of Retroshare 0.6.0 is quite stable, so we finally decided to make it an official 0.6.0 version instead of a RC3 (Hence avoiding a potential RC4 which would bring bad luck ;-)). The next piece of work (really, and I’m not jocking) is to finally fix circles (i.e. groups of Identities and right management that come with it)  and include them in a 0.6.1 version. So you can expect that quite soon.

As usual, I’m just the writer of this post, and all this work should be attributed to the entire dev team, and to many external contributors who pushed important changes using the pull request system of GitHub, and also to the many testers who provided detailed reports of what needed to be changed.

Tixati is a peer-to-peer file sharing program that uses the popular BitTorrent protocol.  This protocol allows many peers to form a cooperative swarm and download very large files with great efficiency.

Freeware

Release Notes

Tixati version 2.33 is now available.

Since the last release, several new features have been added, and there have been many important internal changes to core components that have greatly improved overall reliability and performance.

A new bandwidth quota management system has been added. This is accessible from the Bandwidth view under the Advanced button menu. Quotas can be managed with an hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly cycle. Quota reset times, hours of effectiveness, and actions to take upon reaching limit are all fully configurable.

The system that manages transfer local file locations, moving, and renaming has been completely re-engineered. Managing naming conflicts and merging of local files is much simpler, and confirmation prompts are used in a few key places.

The Individual Tracker Settings system has had major upgrades and fixes. It is now much simpler for common uses, such as adding or removing trackers in newly loaded transfers.

Files within a transfer can be prioritized in a numbered order. Select multiple files, right-click, and then select "Ordered" from the Priority sub-menu to use this new feature.

Several other fixes and improvements have been made since the v2.31 release:

    can now add multiple magnet links from the Add window
    fixed problems copying multiple magnet links from transfers window
    added support for ws attribute when parsing magnet links
    added support for webseed placeholder when generating magnet links
    added option to watch a directory for .desktop and .url files in addition to .torrent files
    in Settings>Transfers>Meta-Info added option to auto-delete torrent file when manually loading from specific directory
    file completion shell commands support additional placeholders $path $basepath $name $ext
    multiple file completion shell commands for same extension/type now supported
    file handles are kept closed for a 6 second window after completion if using file completion shell commands
    file completion shell commands will execute even if transfer is immediately stopped by ratio/seed limit
    other minor fixes to prevent file completion shell commands from running when checking or moving
    prevent file name conflicts when saving multiple .torrent files from transfer view
    the incomplete piece / dnd file crust cache file purging system has been completely re-engineered and should use much less filesystem resources
    several fixes to the file checking system to prevent excessive hash-checking of partial downloads upon session startup and moves
    the main internal procedure scheduler has been completely replaced with a much better system that provides complex prioritization control
    extensive improvements to the win32 message loop idle bypass system and timer system
    the connection pacer has been completely replaced with a more reliable and much more performant system
    the internal precision timer component has been replaced with a more granular system that helps avoid processing holdups and backlogs
    numerous performance optimizations in peer connections and peer management
    several important performance optimizations in transfer local file handling routines
    more graceful error handling when too many files are open
    time limits for transfer local file open-lingering have been lowered to reduce average open handle count
    fixed problems with merging trackers that would cause groups to be erroneously merged
    added advanced individual tracker option "xfer_peerid:" that will change peer-id of transfers containing matching trackers
    added advanced individual tracker option "xfer_created_by:" that changes the "created by" field in saved .torrent files
    directly embedded tracker URL peerid/headers/cookie flags will have priority over settings in tracker individual options
    improved UDP tracker connection key caching
    overhaul of internal traffic counting system, now also includes headers, DHT and HTTP from RSS, trackers, etc.
    updated WebUI to support ordered priority
    other minor WebUI fixes, including file sort order
    fixed problems with upload ratio calculation for locally-sourced seeds
    fixed minor bugs in incoming connection handling when set to single protocol mode
    peer-id randomization every 6-36 hours (synced to local IP change if possible)
    deselecting all files in preload dialog will no longer trigger category capture
    fixed minor display updating problems when switching transfers between categories
    fixed minor clipboard text line-ending problems in Windows build
    raised text length limits in Windows multi-line text entry controls
    fixed minor logging problems in transfer objects
    partial custom peer IDs entered from Options property tab will be internally padded with characters from full 1-255 range
    improved file diagnostic logging
    fixed problems with peer ignore causing crash under certain rare conditions
    IP-location tables updated
    many other minor performance optimizations throughout the program


There are many more improvements and upgrades on the way. Please stay tuned.
