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.

Validated chunks are shared to other peers. Force check is now very simple since it just turns all chunks into "needs checking" mode
and sums are asked to sources. Sources maintain a temporary cache of chunks. Since sums are requested sparsely, this should not
affect the sources in terms of performance. We can still imagine precomputing and saving sha1 of chunks while hashing them.
For backward compatibility reasons, the following has been setup *temporarily* in this version:
- unvalidated chunks are still considered as already obtained, and are shared and saved
- force check has been disabled
- final file check is maintained
- in case of file fail, the old checking mode will be used.
All changes for next version are kept in the define 'USE_NEW_CHUNK_CHECKING_CODE' that will be made the default in a few weeks.
At start, I expect most chunk to stya yellow during download, until most sources are able to provide chunk hashs.

- corrected 2 potential flaws of swarming causing request of unavailable data (This should normally be taken care of on the server side!)
- improved swarming test code with fault simulation
- only ask CRC32 maps to peers that have a complete file.

- added generic methods and items for bouncing generic objects through lobbies
- added handling of peer typing status
- proper handling of peer join/leave lobby
- added sub item ids to lobby messages to allow proper message splitting
- made 2 different message splitting methods for normal chat vs. lobbies. In v0.6, we'll have to handle all messages the same way.
- added parent id to RsChatLobbyMsgItem, to allow threaded chat.
- added possibility to make a lobby public/private (not yet fully working)
- added items for requesting/exchanging list of public lobbies at friends' (not yet fully working)
- major cleaning of p3chatservice.cc
Next move:
- gui for listing friend public lobbies, joining them, etc.
- load/save of persistent lobbies.
- autoremove of inactive lobbies
Warning: lobby message items of this version are incompatible with previous versions. It won't crash, but
messages will not pass through.

re-organises (e.g. defragments) data such that
- when the DL is finished, the file is in the correct order (no need to re-order it)
- during the DL, only the n*_chunk_size first bytes of the partial file are written, where n is the total number of downloaded chunks.
- the total amount of copy operations does not exceed the total size of the file. In practice, it's much lower.
That suppresses the lag when downloading large files due to writing isolated chunks in the middle of the file.
Next:
- integration into ftFileCreator
- load/save in ft_transfers
- retrocompatibility with existing transfers.

the TOU interface no longer supports multiple sockets..
all the connections are attached to the same UdpStack.
Multiple sockets will be re-introduced in the next TOU iteration.
At that point the remaining tests will be fixed up.
* tweaked regress.mk
* added scripts to launch tests.
* replaced UdpLayer with UdpStacks.
* only two proper tests: udp_server (passes), test_tou (fails)

Recompile of the GUI needed.

Changed rsmsg interface and item classes so need full recompile.
Created new notifier for tag changes - NOTIFY_LIST_MESSAGE_TAGS.
Changed serialiser tests for message items.
After that all tags are reset to standard and all assigned tags to messages are lost.
Please delete the file msg_locale.cfg in your profile directory.

libretroshare/src/retroshare/
All the relevant headers have been modified to reflect that change.
This allows installation of libretroshare on a system, headers will
be put in $WHEREVER/retroshare/ and we keep the ability to compile
against them, be it on the system or in the SVN tree.
