|

- o Code simplification and refactoring (channels):

- so was due to the fact that they were always empty meaning never
|
|

- unused code path.
|
|
|
- - The majority ot the channel unit tests have been rewritten and the

|
|
- code coverage has now been raised to 83.6% for channel.c. Closes

|

|
|
|
- - We've simplify a lot the channel subsystem by removing those
|
|

- around it. Overall this is a cleanup removing more than 1500 lines
|

- control-spec.txt. Closes ticket 23900.
|
|
|
- - On most errors that would cause Tor to exit, it now tries to
|
|
|
- return from the tor_main() function, rather than calling the

|
|
- system exit() function. Most users won't notice a difference here,
