Echolot 2.1.4 released
======================

This is a minor bugfix release.  If you had problems with Echolot hanging while
executing GnuPG then this should fix it for you.

Changes since 2.1.3:
        * Have new disable and enable commands which are shortcut
          for set pingit=off showit=off fetch=off and =on respectively.
        * Accept show=, ping=, and fetchit= in addition to their real
          names in set.
        * Do not accept expired or future mixmaster keys.
        * Print summary on notice level, not info, if it was requested
          manually.
        * Remove get_remailers since get_addresses in Echolot::Storage::File
          does almost the same.
        * Make sure we do not create empty key hashes in metadata.
        * gpg interaction cleanup, move a lot of duplicated code to
          Echolot::Tools.
        * Filter out mixmaster outputs to stderr that are no problem.
        * There's a TRACE loglevel now, which is even more noisy than DEBUG.
        * Changed all pointers to savannah to alioth.
        * Removed obsolete tools to convert echolot setups during 2.0beta*
          releases.
        * Handle situations better in which a ping receives when the last
          key already is expired, and the remailer no longer exists in
          the remailers part of the metadata (only in the addresses part).
        * Add a file that describes how Echolot works.

Enjoy!

About Echolot
=============

Echolot <http://www.palfrader.org/echolot/> is a pinger for anonymous
remailers.

A Pinger in the context of anonymous remailers is a program that
regularly sends messages through remailers to determine their status.
Based on the responses, the Pinger calculates reliability statistics
which may be used by remailer clients to choose a chain of remailers to
use.

Furthermore, Echolot collects configuration parameters and keys of
remailers and offers the collected information in a format readable by
remailer clients.  This helps reduce the administration effort required
to use or host remailers.
