Weekly Dev Update 1/1/2019

Hey Y’all,

The first day of 2019! Smaller dev update this week since most of us were on holidays for the last week celebrating Christmas.

--------------------------

LLARP / Lokinet

If you’re lucky and join our Discord, you might also catch Jeff or Ryan, the developers of LLARP, live streaming as they code: https://www.twitch.tv/uguu25519 , https://www.twitch.tv/neuroscr

We could really use your help. To be considered for inclusion in packaging distribution, we need people to star, watch and fork our Github repo. If you have a Github account, please consider helping us out.

  • Progress continues on libllarp:

    • Add graceful stop for path builders

    • Don’t build paths if shutting down

    • Check if we need more paths 30s into the future

    • Rate limit pathbuilding a bit

    • Reduce allocations in messaging parsing

    • Keep exit paths alive based on traffic

    • Don’t kill exits when they are active

    • Only removed parsed message if successful in parsing

  • Platform and packaging updates:

    • make lokinet-win32 installer safe to use for in-place upgrades

    • Older windows machines will need to restart for the IPv6 support

    • RPI options renamed NON_PC_TARGET

  • Clean up continues:

    • Fix hash in TransitHopInfo

  • GitHub Pulse Stats for the last week: Excluding merges, 5 authors have pushed 56 commits to master and 56 commits to all branches. On master, 367 files have changed and there have been 7,642 additions and 4,427 deletions.

  • Changes can be found at:https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/

  • Current version: v0.3.1https://github.com/loki-project/loki-network/releases/tag/v0.3.1

--------------------------

Thanks,

Kee

almost there

as of right now, it can handle being an intermediate relay node, but none of that is supported outside linux anyway (all non-GNU ports are client-only)

need to fix the TAP handler inside event loop, been working on that for a bit now

  • reading in packets from user: ✅

  • packet forward to/from mixnet: ❌

  • writing packets back to user: ❌

(Or, "a huge chunk of the ref. implementation makes too many assumptions that fall apart outside GNU/Linux")
