|
+ o Major features (user interface):
|
|
|
|
|
+ - Tor now supports the ability to declare options deprecated, so that
|
|
|
|
|
+ we can recommend that people stop using them. Previously, this was
|
|
|
|
|
+ done in an ad-hoc way.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Closes ticket 19820.
|

|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ o Minor features (user interface):
|
|
|
|
|
+ - There is a new --list-deprecated-options command-line option to list
|
|
|
|
|
+ all of the deprecated options. Implemented as part of ticket 19820.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ o Deprecated features:
|
|
|
|
|
+ - A number of options are deprecated for security reasons, and may be
|
|
|
|
|
+ removed in a future version of Tor. The options are: AllowDotExit,
|
|
|
|
|
+ AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits, AllowSingleHopExits,
|
|
|
|
|
+ ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses,
|
|
|
|
|
+ CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
|
|
|
|
|
+ CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout, ExcludeSingleHopRelays,
|
|
|
|
|
+ FastFirstHopPK, TLSECGroup, UseNTorHandshake, and WarnUnsafeSocks.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ - A number of DNS-cache-related sub-options for client ports are now
|
|
|
|
|
+ deprecated for security reasons, and may be removed in a future version
|
|
|
|
|
+ of Tor. (We believe that client-side DNS cacheing is a bad idea for
|
|
|
|
|
+ anonymity, and you should not turn it on.) The options are: CacheDNS,
|
|
|
|
|
+ CacheIPv4DNS, CacheIPv6DNS, UseDNSCache, UseIPv4Cache, and
|
|
|
|
|
+ UseIPv6Cache.
|
|
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
|
|
+ - The *ListenAddress options are now deprecated as unnecessary: the
|
|
|
|
|
+ corresponding *Port options should be used instead. These options may
|
|
|
|
|
+ someday be removed. The affected options are: ControlListenAddress,
|
|
|
|
|
+ DNSListenAddress, DirListenAddress, NATDListenAddress, ORListenAddress,
|
|
|
|
|
+ SocksListenAddress, and TransListenAddress.
