I2Phex and Phex changelog

3.2.7.0.0 (2014-11-23) by Gnotellik

- GUI: In the "Config Wizard" add text ("I2P Notice") about the need to enable "SAM application bridge" in the I2P router console to allow I2Phex to work.
- GUI: In the "Search" tab, hide the "Speed" tab by default (useless with I2Phex because it return false values).
- GUI: Translation improved (French).
- CORE: In the source code: debug strings added (mainly for /gwebcache/).
- KNOWN BUG: the same bugs as the previous release.

3.2.6.107.0 (2014-11-11) by Gnotellik

- GUI: Display "Upload" tab by default.
- GUI: Hide the feature "Filtered ports" (main menu bar > menu Options) because it is useless with I2Phex.
- CORE: In "I2P Tunnels Settings" panel, change default hops numbers from 1 to 2 (located at: Settings > Options > General Settings > I2P > "Inbound length" and "Outbound length"). Otherwise the users of I2P saw in the I2P router console the message "Client tunnels for i2phex" : "ANONYMITY WARNING - Settings include 1-hop tunnels."
- CORE: Unset "Allow browsing of directories" feature because it is unreliable, and was a privacy risk for newbies (ie: folder names).
- CORE: Set "Force to be an Ultrapeer" by default (as recommended in the Phex source code, in order to make more stable the current tiny I2Phex network).
- CORE: (Dirty) Disable Bitzi - feature named "View the Bitzi ticket" (a dead web service) - by redirecting to the Wikipedia article intead to send the hash of the selected file (I have not found the way to remove Bitzi from the GUI), that previously can goes in the default search engine of the web browser of the user.
- CORE: (Dirty) Disable "Chat to host" feature (I have not found a way to hide it): nothing will happen when you click it. This feature has never work in I2Phex (that seems impossible because of the I2P's hops).
- CORE: Update I2P's LIB files (i2phex/thirdparty/i2p/lib/) from 2011's (v0.8.6) to 2014 (v0.9.16-0). Files names: i2p.jar, jbigi.jar, mstreaming.jar, streaming.jar
- FIXED: Update the webcache nodes addresses: disable Complication's Jwebcache, shutdown in january 2014, move Echelon's (from second) to first webcache.
- FIXED: To avoid a error message in the I2Phex log file ("Missing language key: I2P"), create the missing key ("I2P = I2P").
- FIXED: To avoid a error message when compiling I2Phex, remove a too long line from the text file "Fakes.SHA1" (The error message was: "Warn/phex.security.PhexSecurityManager:: Skip invalid line: a2SPCKONDD5XZ2L5H7CCR5VBBAQ5255TU in Fakes.SHA1").
- KNOWN BUG: I2Phex (current version and previous) only connect to the first of the webcaches addresses built into the code.
- KNOWN BUG: Minimization to tray does not work on all OS (ie: Linux, Windows 7). Same issue in Phex v3.4.2. Partial workaround: run I2Phex headless.
- KNOWN BUG: "Browse Host feature" (that should list the folders and files of the remote host) does not work (has work in the past (2009)).
- KNOWN BUG: I2Phex often loose connection with other peers. Forcing Ultrapeer mode should help this issue, however the best solution would be to port Phex 3.4.2 (2009) code to I2Phex 3.2.6 (2008), help from a senior Java developper needed... (see http://forum.i2p/viewtopic.php?t=3274 and http://forum.i2p/viewtopic.php?t=3923)
- KNOWN BUG: I2Phex log file: "Error/phex.net.I2PServer:: java.lang.NullPointerException - Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException". This seems to be a choice of a developper (see the source code).

3.2.6.106.b10 Final (2011-06-05) by Zzz

- Plugin version for I2P, for Linux. Same as v3.2.6.106.0
- Downloadable from http://plugins.i2p/plugins/i2phex/ see also http://stats.i2p/i2p/plugins/
- KNOWN BUG (not really a bug): When attempting to launch I2Phex, the splash screen is visible for a brief moment before disappearing. Attempting to start the application again only results in a repeat of this process. This is a known issue, if the I2P user is not the user running X, it won't work. I2Phex uses AWT graphics and therefore i2p must be running as the logged-in user (not as a daemon).
