+Changes in version 0.1.2.17 - 2007-08-30
|
|
|
+ o Major bugfixes (security):
|
|
|
+ - We removed support for the old (v0) control protocol. It has been
|
|
|
+ deprecated since Tor 0.1.1.1-alpha, and keeping it secure has
|
|
|
+ become more of a headache than it's worth.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Major bugfixes (load balancing):
|
|
|
+ - When choosing nodes for non-guard positions, weight guards
|
|
|
+ proportionally less, since they already have enough load. Patch
|
|
|
+ from Mike Perry.
|
|
|
+ - Raise the "max believable bandwidth" from 1.5MB/s to 10MB/s. This
|
|
|
+ will allow fast Tor servers to get more attention.
|
|
|
+ - When we're upgrading from an old Tor version, forget our current
|
|
|
+ guards and pick new ones according to the new weightings. These
|
|
|
+ three load balancing patches could raise effective network capacity
|
|
|
+ by a factor of four. Thanks to Mike Perry for measurements.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Major bugfixes (stream expiration):
|
|
|
+ - Expire not-yet-successful application streams in all cases if
|
|
|
+ they've been around longer than SocksTimeout. Right now there are
|
|
|
+ some cases where the stream will live forever, demanding a new
|
|
|
+ circuit every 15 seconds. Fixes bug 454; reported by lodger.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor features (controller):
|
|
|
+ - Add a PROTOCOLINFO controller command. Like AUTHENTICATE, it
|
|
|
+ is valid before any authentication has been received. It tells
|
|
|
+ a controller what kind of authentication is expected, and what
|
|
|
+ protocol is spoken. Implements proposal 119.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (performance):
|
|
|
+ - Save on most routerlist_assert_ok() calls in routerlist.c, thus
|
|
|
+ greatly speeding up loading cached-routers from disk on startup.
|
|
|
+ - Disable sentinel-based debugging for buffer code: we squashed all
|
|
|
+ the bugs that this was supposed to detect a long time ago, and now
|
|
|
+ its only effect is to change our buffer sizes from nice powers of
|
|
|
+ two (which platform mallocs tend to like) to values slightly over
|
|
|
+ powers of two (which make some platform mallocs sad).
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (misc):
|
|
|
+ - If exit bandwidth ever exceeds one third of total bandwidth, then
|
|
|
+ use the correct formula to weight exit nodes when choosing paths.
|
|
|
+ Based on patch from Mike Perry.
|
|
|
+ - Choose perfectly fairly among routers when choosing by bandwidth and
|
|
|
+ weighting by fraction of bandwidth provided by exits. Previously, we
|
|
|
+ would choose with only approximate fairness, and correct ourselves
|
|
|
+ if we ran off the end of the list.
|
|
|
+ - If we require CookieAuthentication but we fail to write the
|
|
|
+ cookie file, we would warn but not exit, and end up in a state
|
|
|
+ where no controller could authenticate. Now we exit.
|
|
|
+ - If we require CookieAuthentication, stop generating a new cookie
|
|
|
+ every time we change any piece of our config.
|
|
|
+ - Refuse to start with certain directory authority keys, and
|
|
|
+ encourage people using them to stop.
|
|
|
+ - Terminate multi-line control events properly. Original patch
|
|
|
+ from tup.
|
|
|
+ - Fix a minor memory leak when we fail to find enough suitable
|
|
|
+ servers to choose a circuit.
|
|
|
+ - Stop leaking part of the descriptor when we run into a particularly
|
|
|
+ unparseable piece of it.
