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. + + -- Cyril Soler Mon, 25 June 2012 21:30:00 +0100 + +retroshare (0.5.3-0.5254~natty) natty; urgency=low + * Improvements - Added windows for bandwidth/display analysis in tray menu - Reworked tcponudp/tcpstream.
