Changes in version 0.2.9.2-alpha - 2016-08-2?
|
|
|
Tor 0.2.9.2-alpha XXXX BLURB HERE.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ 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 Major bugfixes (directory downloads):
|
|
|
+ - Avoid resetting download status for consensuses hourly, since we
|
|
|
+ already have another, smarter retry mechanism. Fixes bug 8625;
|
|
|
+ bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor features (config):
|
|
|
+ - Warn users when descriptor and port addresses are inconsistent.
|
|
|
+ Mitigates bug 13953; patch by teor.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
o Minor features (geoip):
|
|
|
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
|
|
|
Country database.
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ 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 Minor bugfixes (code style):
|
|
|
+ - Fix an integer signedness conversion issue in the case conversion
|
|
|
+ tables. Fixes bug 19168; bugfix on 0.2.1.11-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
|
|
|
+ - Build correctly on versions of libevent2 without support for
|
|
|
+ evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes(). Fixes bug 19904; bugfix
|
|
|
+ on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
|
|
|
+ - Fix a compilation warning on GCC versions before 4.6. Our
|
|
|
+ ENABLE_GCC_WARNING macro used the word "warning" as an argument,
|
|
|
+ when it is also required as an argument to the compiler pragma.
|
|
|
+ Fixes bug 19901; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, also in 0.2.8.7):
|
|
|
- Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing
|
|
|
- warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix on
|
|
|
- 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
|
|
+ warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix
|
|
|
+ on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories, also in 0.2.8.7):
|
|
|
- Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback
|
|
|
directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha
|
|
|
and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate".
|
|
|
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
|
|
|
+ - Log a more accurate message when we fail to dump a microdescriptor.
|
|
|
+ Fixes bug 17758; bugfix on 0.2.2.8-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
|
|
|
+ - Fix a series of slow memory leaks related to parsing torrc files
|
|
|
+ and options. Fixes bug 19466; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Deprecated features:
|
|
|
+ - 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.
|
|
|
+ - 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.
|
|
|
+ - 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.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Documentation:
|
|
|
+ - Correct the IPv6 syntax in our documentation for the
|
|
|
+ VirtualAddrNetworkIPv6 torrc option. Closes ticket 19743.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ o Removed code:
|
|
|
+ - We no longer include the (dead, deprecated) bufferevent code in
|
|
|
+ Tor. Closes ticket 19450. Based on a patch from U+039b.
