retroshare (0.5.3-0.XXXXXX~YYYYYY) YYYYYY; urgency=low
* Improvements
- Merged branch v0.5-OpenPGP into trunk. Please read the following important release notes:
User-level changes:
==================
* libgpgme is not used anymore; it is replaced by a built-in piece of code called OpenPGP-SDK
(http://openpgp.nominet.org.uk/cgi-bin/trac.cgi) that was improved to be used by RetroShare
for handling PGP keys.
* the gnupg keyring is not used anymore. Now, RetroShare has it's own gpg keyring, shared by all instances.
On linux it's located in ~/.retroshare/pgp/. A lock system prevents multiple locations to read/write keyrings
simultaneously.
* the trust database from gnupg is not documented, so RetroShare cannot import it. This comes from the fact that
the GPG standard (RFC4880) asks explicitly not to export trust information. So RetroShare has it's own
trust DB shared by locations. This means you need to re-trust people. Sorry for that!
* at start, if no keyring is found, RS will propose to copy the gnupg keyring to use your existing keys. Clicking on
"OK" will do the copy, and you should find back all existing locations, except for DSA keys.
* locations for which the suitable keypair is not in the keyring will not be displayed in the login window
* locations for which the suitable keypair is not a RSA/RSA key will not be displayed. RetroShare does not
support DSA/Elgamal keypairs yet.
* a key import/export exchange function has been added in the certificate creation window (you go there from the login
window by clicking on "manage keys/locations". This allows to easily create a new location with the same pgp key on
another computer. To obtain a suitable keypair using gnupg, you need to concatenate the encrypted private key and the
public key into an ascii file. This can be done using:
gpg -a --export-secret-keys [your ID] > mykey.asc
gpg -a --export [your ID] >> mykey.asc
* importing a key with subkeys in not yet possible. Please remove subkeys before importing.
* The code has been tested for a reasonnable amount of time, but it's not possible to prevent some new bugs
to appear. Please report them asap supplying: call-stacks if possible, and terminal output. In particular,
openpgp has some assert()'s that should not be triggered unless RetroShare is calling it in an improper way.
Internal changes
================
* a specific component, PGPHandler, takes care of the interface between openpgp-sdk and RetroShare
openpgp-sdk is c-code, with it's own memory management, which has been kept well separated from
RetroShare.
* GPG Ids are now a specific class (not a std::string anymore) for code consistency reasons. As strings are
still used in many places, this requires a few conversions. In particular, AuthGPG takes strings as
function params and calls GPGHandler with the proper PGPIdType class. In the future, RetroShare should
only use PGPIdType. The same will be done for SSL ids.
* signature cleaning is still handled by the Retroshare built-in function, not by openpgp, but we will
do this later.
Still to do
===========
* DSA needs subkey handling, since the encryption is performed by a Elgamal subkey. Not sure this will be done.
* GPGIds/SSLIds cleaning (meaning replace strings by appropriate types). Lots of confusion throughout the code
in retroshare-gui in particular.
* key removal from keyring. This is a challenge to keep locations synchronised.
- Rework of tcponudp/tcpstream should make UDP connections much more stable.
* Fixed retransmit algorithm. Much more closely matched to TCP standard: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2988
* This increases retransmit timeouts, and reduces the number of packets resent.
* Added better debugging for retrans/close as separate #defines.
* Further testing is required ;)
- Added dynamic choose of sources for chunk crc requests. Fixes the bug that would let
a transfer not finish if the original surce for a crc is not here anymore.
If you have a unfinished transfer do a force-check after restart to get back chunks that
where still on verification stage.
- moved channel action menu into right click, for better consistency
- Enabled word wrap of the description in ChanNewItem.
- Added a new button in ChanMsgItem and ForumMsgItem to set the message as read (without expanding the message) and
remove the item from the news feed.
- Redesigned ChanMsgItem.
- updated french translation (Max Romeo)
- improved build bat file (san)
- Moved the include folder OpenSSL to the other external includes for Windows compile.
- added warning for unsupported keys. It is triggered when no valid keypairs are found at start, and when unsupported
keys pairs are found when copying the keyring
- Enabled translation (system default language) of the message box before the login to a profile.
- Fixed german translation.
- removed not needed info buttons for the infodialog
- desactivated TrustMatrix, by the time we decide wether it is worth keeping it, and implement a better version of it
- updated package building scripts for ubuntu
* Bugs
- fixed stupid bug in friendlyUnits() causing crashes when displaying files with size > 1TB
- possible fix for bug on ARM archs (reported by Ralfk)
- fixed possible bug due to misplaced mutex (Reported by bNK)
- added missign break, causing a crash when creating a new key
- Fixed crash when starting the help browser from friend details the second time.
