Changes in version 0.1.2.2-alpha - 2006-10-??

o Major features:
|
|
|
- Add server-side support for "reverse" DNS lookups (using PTR
|
|
|
- records so clients can determine the canonical hostname for a
|
|
|
- given IPv4 address). This has been specified for a long time,
|
|
|
- but was previously never implemented. This is only supported by

|
|
|
support eventdns.
|
|
|
- Specify and implement client-side SOCKS5 interface for reverse DNS
|
|
|
lookups; see doc/socks-extensions.txt for full information.
|
|
|
- Add a BEGIN_DIR relay cell type for an easier in-protocol way to
|
|
|
- connect to directory servers through Tor. Previously, clients could
|
|
|
- only connect to director servers over Tor from exit nodes, but couldn't
|
|
|
- get directory information anonymously from a non-exit cache without
|
|
|
- getting a directory server involved.
