Echolot 2.1.5 released
======================

This is a minor bugfix release.  It fixes some bugs that were introduced in
2.1.4. It also makes some of the enhancemends added in 2.1.4 actually work.
I recommend upgrading.

Changes since 2.1.4:
        * Fix use of an illegal filedescriptor when we know of a remailer,
          but do not have keys for it yet/anymore.
        * Check if syswrite's return value is defined
          (also is: do not write to gpg forever, once it has died or
          closed its stdin).
        * Tell Mixmaster to create no dummies.  It has no remailer keys
          and reliability information anyway.
        * Increase the number of remailers that need to list an address
          before it is added to 6.  It was 3 previously.
        * Make set fetch=<value> work again.
        * Make disable and enable actually work.

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.
