Changes in version 0.2.9.4-alpha - 2016-10-17
|
|
|
- Foo bar
|
|
|
+ Tor 0.2.9.4-alpha adds numerous small features and fix-ups to previous
|
|
|
+ versions of Tor, including the implementation of a feature to future-
|
|
|
+ proof the Tor ecosystem against protocol changes, some bug fixes
|
|
|
+ necessary for Tor Browser to use unix domain sockets correctly, and
|
|
|
+ several portability improvements. We anticipate that this will be the
|
|
|
+ last alpha in the Tor 0.2.9 series, and that the next release will be
|
|
|
+ a release candidate.
|
|
|
|
|
|
o Major features (subprotocol versions):
|
|
|
- - Tor directory authorities now vote on a set of recommended subprotocol
|
|
|
- versions, and on a set of required subprotocol versions. Clients and
|
|
|
- relays that lack support for a _required_ suprotocol version will not
|
|
|
- start; those that lack support for a _recommended_ subprotocol version
|
|
|
- will warn the user to upgrade. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
|
|
|
- proposal 264.
|
|
|
- - Tor now uses "subprotocol versions" to indicate
|
|
|
- compatibility. Previously, versions of Tor looked at the declared Tor
|
|
|
- version of a relay to tell whether they could use a given feature.
|
|
|
- Now, they should be able to rely on its declared subprotocol versions.
|
|
|
- This change allows compatible implementations of the Tor protocol(s) to
|
|
|
- exist without declaring compatibility with pretending to be particular
|
|
|
- releases of Tor itself. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
|
|
|
- proposal 264.

|
- have those flags. Closes ticket 20001; implements part of proposal
