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.
git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/retroshare/code/trunk@5293 b45a01b8-16f6-495d-af2f-9b41ad6348cc
- p3bwctrl.h/.cc & rsbwctrlitems.h/.cc
- New Interface in pqihandler to extract the data.
- New Interface in rsconfig to display in GUI.
- Added extra debugging in pqistreamer for catching big outqueues.
git-svn-id: http://svn.code.sf.net/p/retroshare/code/trunk@5241 b45a01b8-16f6-495d-af2f-9b41ad6348cc
- Added missing check of file pointer in PGPHandler::decryptTextFromFile
- Added missing fclose of the ssl passphrase file in RsLoginHandler::getSSLPasswdFromGPGFile. Is this still needed, because PGPHandler::decryptTextFromFile does the same check?
- Fixed possible memory leak in ops_decrypt_memory.

- Fixed crash after the second call to RsInit::InitRetroShare when keyring does not exist.
The instance of AuthSSL was created twice and AuthGPG was deleted without stopping the thread. Stopped the AuthGPG thread on exit of RetroShare.
- Added the correct path to the keyring for Windows in RsInit::copyGnuPGKeyrings.
- Changed the detection of the portable version on Windows from the file "gpg.exe" to the file "portable".

Merging Dht Relay improvements into the trunk. These changes should finally make relays functional.
There are still some service changes required to reduce the traffic over relays.
Summary of Changes
---------------------
* Changed the way proxy/relay peers are selected in bdConnection. (needs more work).
* Added LinkType to peer info in p3LinkMgr & rspeers.h interface.
* Added getConnectionType() to p3PeerMgr. This defaults to FRIEND for the moment.
* Provide information about Bandwidth, Transport and Peer Type via LinkType().
* Added RateCap() to limit traffic over Relay connections.
* Set Internal Rate to 75% of Relay Limit to account for transport overhead.
* Added various #include "util/rswin.h" to fix compile errors with standard ssl package.
* Removed Local variables (mConnectProxyAddr, etc) which were hiding Class Variables.
* Cleaned up bits in pqissl.cc and p3linkmgr.cc
* Increased UDP Relay Packet size (max transport of 1400 bytes per UDP packet)
* Modified checkRelay() to use Low Pass Filter to calculate Relay Bandwidth.
* Improved udprelay debugging.
* increased (x2) Relay Lifetimes - this is so that enough useful data can be transported (1meg).
* Added LOCALNET_TESTING code to rsinit.cc. This allows Port Restrictions to simulate firewalls.
* more debugging and minor bugfixes.
