New releases of I2P anonymous network 0.9.46 and i2pd 2.32 C++ client

Took place anonymous network release I2P 0.9.46 and C++ client i2pd 2.32.0. Recall that I2P is a multi-layer anonymous distributed network operating on top of the regular Internet, actively using end-to-end encryption, which guarantees anonymity and isolation. On the I2P network, you can anonymously create websites and blogs, send instant messages and e-mail, exchange files, and organize P2P networks. The basic I2P client is written in Java and can run on a wide range of platforms such as Windows, Linux, macOS, Solaris, etc. I2pd is an independent implementation of the I2P client in C++ and spreads under a modified BSD license.

In I2P 0.9.46 release:

  • Significantly improved performance with the addition of Westwood+ overload control algorithm Library with the implementation of data streams (TCP-like streams over I2P);
  • The development of a more reliable and faster end-to-end encryption method has been completed, based on a bunch of ECIES-X25519-AEAD-Ratchet instead of ElGamal/AES+SessionTag. ECIES-X25519-AEAD-Ratchet code declared ready for testing;
  • In the manager of hidden services, the design of the editing pages has been changed;
  • The JRobin package with the RRDTool implementation in java has been replaced with RRD4J 3.5;
  • Addressed a vulnerability that could allow a local user to elevate their privileges. The problem only appears on the Windows platform;
  • I2P 0.9.46 is the last release to support Java 7. The next version will also stop building packages for Debian 7 "Wheezy", Debian 9 "Stretch", Ubuntu 12.04 and Ubuntu 14.04.
  • i2pd 2.32 implements support for the ECIES-X25519-AEAD-Ratchet protocol, provides support for forwarding NTCP2 through SOCKS proxies, adds support for gzip-based compression to UDP tunnels, and updated web console functionality.
