2009 年初，在我们参加 25C3 不久之后，我们发布了 I2P 匿名网络的 0.7 版本。接下来的 18 个月里，在随后发布的 15 个版本中，我们一直致力于改进 I2P 软件的易用性，并提升其性能、安全性和可靠性 - 同时还要应对网络前所未有的增长。

鉴于这些成果，我们宣布 0.8 系列的开始。0.8 版本与所有 0.7.x 版本完全兼容。本次发布包含若干错误修复、新增荷兰语翻译，并完成了德语翻译。一如既往，我们鼓励用户升级。

在过去的一年半里，0.7.x 版本系列的一些显著亮点：

  • Automatically generated Base32 destination names, reducing reliance on host names.
  • Themable router console with GeoIP display.
  • Plugin system for easy installation and maintenance of user-generated applications. For example I2P-bote, distributed serverless anonymous e-mail.
  • Translation infrastructure for the router console, and translation into several languages.
  • Many improvements leading to less CPU and memory usage.
  • Network improvements for scalability, now you can invite all your friends into cipherspace!

几项重要的底层改进:

  • Redesign of the floodfill infrastructure for network database storage, by implementing a simplified Kademlia storage system, and an increase in floodfill routers from 5 to almost 100, for increased reliability and scalability.
  • Encryption of queries and stores to floodfill routers for increased security.
  • Separate session key managers for each local destination for increased security.
  • Multi-layered system of limiting connections to peers.
  • New, smaller tunnel build message to reduce the chance it will be dropped, and increase build success rates.
  • Several bug fixes and improvements in the streaming library to speed up connections dramatically.
  • Transition to Java 5 concurrent data structures for a significant reduction in lock contention.
  • Transition to Java 5 coding styles, a significant increase in javadoc documentation, and elimination of unused code for maintanability.
  • Split directory structure for ease of use on multi-user systems and easier packaging.
  • Clock skew system redesign, with implementation of NTP-style clock adjustment.
  • Adjustment of several parameters based on the speed and maximum memory of the router, to optimize speed and memory usage.
  • UPnP support to open firewall ports.
  • An uncountable number of bugfixes and improvements that enhance security, anonymity, reliability, performance, scalability, and the user experience.

在zzz 去年接受 gulli.com 的采访中，他表示：“隐私在全世界正面临严重且日益加剧的威胁”。很显然，这一趋势在“被压迫”的国家以及名义上“自由”的国家中都在加速。随着我们准备参加纽约的 HOPE 大会，届时将有许多关于隐私的演讲，我们也将制定计划，继续改进 I2P 并扩大其影响。

一如既往，您可以通过加入网络并贡献您的带宽来提供帮助。在 IRC #i2p 或 forum.i2p2.de 上向开发者提供反馈，并参与其中、传播项目信息，并捐助！我们仍在为新旧翻译寻找帮助。请在 IRC #i2p 报名参与。
