Software update: I2P 0.7.3

I2P focuses on anonymizing communication flows. It started in 2003 as a proposal to freenet and has evolved over time into a standalone program. For more information, we refer you to this page. The developers have released version 0.7.3, and are providing it with the following announcement:

I2P release 0.7.3

I2P version 0.7.3 contains several buxfixes and improvements, includes a lot of maintenance work and new versions of both the SAM and BOB application gateway protocols.

A patch to I2P’s internal web server Jetty is included to correct SusiDNS behavior on Windows. The way I2P nodes volunteer to participate in the Network Database is changed to avoid too many doing this simultaneously, and creation of new participating tunnels is now throttled before messages in existing tunnels start to get dropped.

Multiple improvements to the Router Console and other components are included, I2PSnark can handle bigger torrents and more files, while work continues on the experimental desktop interface. Updating is recommended.
