Changes in version
* Do not send all pings for the same remailer at the same time
+ * The cheap hashing function that was used for determining when to ping
+ was replaced by md5. The local secret also is an input to the
+ function so not all echolot pingers ping the same remailer at the
+ same time.
Changes in version 2.0beta15 - 2002-07-16
* Have echolot version in stats HTML pages
