|
o New system requirements:
|
|
|
- - Tor no longer includes workarounds to support Libevent versions before

|
|
|
|
o Major features (controller):
|
|
|
- Add the ADD_ONION and DEL_ONION commands that allow the creation
|
|
|
and management of hidden services via the controller. Closes
|
|
|
ticket 6411.
|
|
|
- - New "GETINFO onions/current" and "GETINFO onions/detached" commands to get
|
|
|
- information about hidden services created via the controller. Part
|
|

ticket 3523. Patch by "DonnchaC".

|
|
o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
|
|
|
- - Revert commit that made directory authorities assign the HSDir flag
|
|
|
- to relay without a DirPort; this was bad because such relays can't handle
|
|
|
- BEGIN_DIR cells. Fixes bug 15850; bugfix on tor-0.2.6.3-alpha.
