Changes 0.5.5a
Changes for 0.5.5c
* Improvements
- General
* Updated languages from Transifex
* Added language Catalan (ca_ES)
- Transfers
* new cache system for RemoteDirModel, which significantly speeds up the display of shared files
* added generic function to return the correct string for scanf for unsigned ints depending on the
size of the actual variable that is scanned. Should fix the rehash bug and bugs corrupting
timestamps on some 32bits systems
* Added few more file type icons for "cpp", "h" nd "c", "patch" and "diff" extensions
* Moved Uploads to Downloads Tab.
* Added to change the text for the Play Button, when file is not a media file.
* Added a custom context menu for pasting RS-links to the base class MimeTextEdit and removed
the custom context menu from derived classes. Updated english translation.
* patch "AddSearchFilesourceSorted_6951.diff" from Phenom. Adds correct sorting for search results.
* extended max chunk TTL to 1 hour. A short TTL is not anymore needed since chuns are shared between sources
- Chat
* patch "chatdialog_allow_buttons_from_different_plugins_3" from electron. ChatDialog allows
now Buttons from different Plugins.
* patch "Fix_ChatLobbyAutoSubscribe_6951.diff" from Phenom. Fixes request for existing lobbies
when no lobby ihas been found yet. Code beautification
* added lobby ID as tooltip to lobby list
- Forums
* added ElidedLabel to be used in places where labels might be too long and therefore
trigger an unwanted window resize. This is currently used as forum thread titles (Patch from Phenom)
- Channels
* patch "Fix_ChannelNotificationFeedLink" from Phenom. Allows to finish loading a channel
before jumping to the linked post
* Added a default background color for the Channel Message Logo for a better look and feel,
removed stretching of the logo, set a minimum size, background is now filled black.
- Notification
* reworked the notification system, which is now a standalone service. Now plugins can receive notifications.
* Corrected the layout of the Connect Progress Dialog
* Changed the logo size for some news feed items to use same size for better look.
* Added to display blue/black forum message icons for the forum feeds, when forum is anon or signed.
* Added new feed item types and logic to show connection attempts from forged certificates
(e.g. bad signature, bad certificate)
* Limit number of feed items to 500 to avoid flooding
* Changed the default stylesheet color for the Security Feed
* improved display/fixed bugs in security item
- plugins
* Added service pointer for forums to the plugin interface
* FeedReader: Used the forums pointer from the plugin interface instead of the global pointer
* added missing services in RsPluginInterface class
- GXS
* Enabled the Filter Line edit for filtering friends, by nick/ID for Create Circles Dialog's
Known Identities Widget.
* Set some minimum header sizes for some items
* Enabled sorting for the QTreeWidget's
* fixed temporary to load the Wiki Groups Tree at startup, auto update seems not to work.
- core
* moved PGP id and SSLid types into rsid.h, and renamed them with a more appropriate name
* fixed cipher list for openssl. ECDHE is not configured, so it cannot be used
* added serialisation methods for SSLId and time_t
* added an option in the pro file for dsdv, as it is compiled when not used
* removed status member from FileDetails. Not used => misleading
* removed asserts in reader_armoured.c, reader_encrypted_se.c, reader_encrypted_seip.c, readerwriter.c
* Allow loading packets of large size from config files (fixed storing of big messages),
and continue on config files skipping items that cannot be deserialised (Modified patch from Phenom)
* put a hard limit to packet size in pqistore to avoid calling realloc with fancy numbers
when the stream has been corrupted
* Bug fixes
- fixed bug due to ot sending notifications to the file lists
- added missign cleanup call in RsAES.cc, causing a small memory leak
- Changed order of the shutdown to fix a crash of the WebUI plugin. First stop the
plugins then the other services.
- fixed ghost lobby issue (thx to thunder for spotting it out)
- patch from HM to avoid allocating absurdly long uids
- added check to only import version 4 keys in the keyring
- fixed error handling in certificates that could crash RS when a bad cert is pasted
- fixed proper handling in failed malloc in openpgp-sdk, causing crash with deliberate bad cert.
- fixed small error in pgphandler, potentially adding empty certs in database
- limited the number of packets to be parsed in a row, to prevent compressed
data to contain an enormous number of packets. Fixes one possible attack pointed out by HM
- removed potential uninitialized memory read in TlvKey item.
- fixed mismatched free/delete in p3channels.cc
- fixed bug introduced in 6965 that prevented people joining private lobbies to see the messages and talk
- fixed potential attack by supplying non hexadecimal strings as certificate common name
- Fixed spaces in copy/paste of rich text (Patch from Phenom)
Changes for 0.5.5b
* Improvements
- fixed up some debug text (patch from H.Morgan)
- reduced string for lol bomb filtering, to filter out <\?xml* instead of <\?xml\ *
- Added freeze option in NetworkView (Modified patch from K. Eisentraut)
- Updated languages from Transifex
- fixed up compatibility with Qt5
- code fixed up for Qt5,added display of Qt version in AboutDialog
- fixed up compilation for MinGW-w64
- Added new options to retroshare-gui.pro for Qt 5
- Added new file QtVersion.h with macros to compile with Qt 4 and Qt 5
- fixed GUI for encrypted messages. Now showing correct To/From, added icon for decrypted msg, correct To when reply
- allow change destination directory for queued files (modified patch from Phenom)
- remove three costly loops in ftController
- added help strings in some config pages (relays, notify, plugins)
- added warning label in MakeFriendWizard to warn against too many friends
- changed the voip icons, disable the voip buttons when friend is offline.
- added scope timer to measure times conveniently
PGP
- added restriction to only accept self-signed certificates for friend keys
- added test program for identity import
- removed asserts from validate.c, and signature.c in openpgp-sdk
it will not be shared until re-hashed. Should prevent chunks error in files that get hashed while being copied.
- do not accept keys without a uid. Previously this was crashing RS
- added check over recursive compression depth. Fixes CVE-2013-4402
Channels:
- Added back the Subscribe Button to Channels
- Use destination directory when manually downloading a file from a channel
- Show destination directory in channel details
- Fixed utf8 issue when choosing the destination directory
GUI
- show fingerprint in ConfCertDialog, and splitted the string with spaces. Removed
the use of the ambiguous peer id for both pgp and locations ids
Global router (Not active yet. Is a replacement to tunnels for messaging. Wil allow offline anonymous distant messages)
- squeleton code for the whole system
- computation/update of routing probabilities
File Transfer (Speed changes according to experiments from jolavilette. Brings the max LAN speed from 1.3MB/s to approx 13MB/s)
- set desiredRate of peers to 10MB/s instead of 1MB/s
- maximum number of active chunks per peer is now 20 (that was a serious limiting factor)
- ticks that bring no data are not accounted for in the speed estimate anymore. The data is averaged over all ticks
since the previous non zero data chunk -> this brings much more stability to sources and removes lots of oscillation.
- added post-hash check for file modification. If the file has been modified while being hashed,
- removed false warning that come up when openning a non existing file in ftFileCreator.
Shared Files
- changed re-hashign strategy. Now uses in priority the system time of the index file as a reference for new files. This automatically
accounts for changes in system time and fixes the re-hashing bug for daylight changing time. In case the reference time cannot be
establishd, the comparison reverts to the old method. This change is backward compatible and should not cause a re-hash.
* Improvements
Optimisations/compilation:
- re-wrote cleanupDirectory() function. As this a cause of the slow startup. Startup time is massively improved!
- Fixed compile of the libraries with MinGW 4.8 on Windows.
- Removed the external library pthreads 2.8.0 on Windows build and used the library of MinGW (version 2.8.0 too).
This fixes header mixup of bo th versions.
- Switched to the release version of pthread so the name of the dll changes from pthreadGC2d.dll to pthreadGC2.dll.
The new dll can be found in the bin directory of MinGW.
- Optimized p3HistoryMgr::cleanOldMessages
File Transfer:
- restore file state when restart (Modified patch from Phenom)
- Enabled multi-tunneling by consistently perturbating partial tunnel id in TRs.
This causes tunnels with a different route to have different ids and therefore
coexist as different sources for a given transfer.
This should cause file transfers to have more tunnels and therefore a better balance
of bandwidth over intermediate peers. This needs to be evaluated on a large scale network.
- included random bias in tunnel ID computation to make them impossible to correlate to the end points
Distant chat/lobbies/chat:
- added the possibility to distant chat with unverified identities, while warning the user about it. Should help distant chatting.
- removed warning that happens when lobby has no activity
Key creation
- added entropy collection system based on mouse movement to location/identity creation, to make keys less predictable
Connectivity:
- Made connection progress dialog only show up when really making friend
Security:
- Enabled PFS for SSH connections, based on a 4096 bits safe prime. This is retro-compatible, meaning that
old peers will connect to the new one using PFS if they act as a client (meaning they request the connection)
- added limit to posts on chat lobbies to 6000 characters, removing the risk of enormous posts crafted to kill the msg history
- added filter to take care of svg bombs that can be hidden in the strings in lobbies,forums,channels and chat
- added control for suspicious message activity in chat lobbies. Lobby items are not bounced if coming
from a peer that sends more messages per seconds than a given limit. The limit is adaptive and depends on lobby count
- added limit in number of chat lobby ids sent by a peer
- added filter to remove xml bombs in all std::wstrings.
Various gui stuff:
- added a "Load Images" system to messages.
- added new delegate for BW statistics window. Changed column names to more appropriate values (Patch from Phenom)
- Added proper sorting of DL files according to sources (Patch from Phenom)
- changed the connect wizard so that we can add someone key to keyring without making friend.
- fixed image resizing for channel thumbnails. Apparently there is a bug in Qt preventing
Qt::KeepAspectRatioByExpanding to work correctly
- Changed the additional buttons of ChatLobbyDialog and AudioPopupChatDialog to QToolButton.
- added some sound files
- changed the voip icons and the tooltips
- added fingerprint to cryptopage
- added tree items for chat lobbies.
- moved help browser from MainPage to new base class FloatingHelpBrowser
- added warning info label to MakeFriendWizard
- Added info widget for encrypted messages in MessageWidget
- removed copy/paste of links of type PERSON in friendlist. This caused confusion and did not provide
anything useful since the creation of the full certificate links
- changed default header text and context menu icons
- changed the default style layout of profile creation dialog
- highlight peers in network graph according to friendship distance from selected node
Chat lobbies
- added history parameters for chat lobbies
- added max storage time for items in chat history. Avoids filling up the history with chat from volatile peers.
- worked out the layout in config->ChatPage in a more compact design and added help
* Bug fixes
- fixed import of retroshare identities that have multiple signatures from the same key ID. Fixed bug reported by claude37
- split lastRecvTimeStamp into two different time stamps: one for last
time the file is wrote (or data is received) and one for last activity
that is used (and sometimes reset) by ftcontroller when queuing files
- fixed display of correct IP for connected friends. Only the external IP was shown previously. Port is not
shown because it is random and could be misleading.
- filter out disallowed direct sources from file request source list. Should systematically prevent unwanted direct transfers
- removed potential deadlock in notifyQt
- fixed bug that would cause virtual peers list for outgoing files to never get cleanred up. Also improved
cost of updating the status of virtual peers. Many thanks to Jolavillette for finding this out!
- fixed missing update of transferred bytes count, that caused tunnels to not show a correct speed estimate on server side
- fixed bug in turtle router, causing potential memory access error in rare occasions (sendItem does not
delete items fast enough, normally).
- added missing setPeerState that caused tunnels to get stuck to default minimum rate unless
the list of connected peers change
- fixed bug showing play for unfinished files and preview for finished ones
Changes for 0.5.5a
* Notes
This is the final release of the 0.5 brand.
