- Changes in version 0.2.0.3-alpha - 2007-07-29
- o Major features:
- - Create listener connections before we setuid to the configured
- User and Group. Now you can choose port values under 1024, start
- Tor as root, and have Tor bind those ports before it changes to
- another UID.
- - New ConstrainedSockets option to set SO_SNDBUF and SO_RCVBUF on TCP
- sockets. Hopefully useful for Tor servers running on "vserver"
- accounts. (Patch from coderman.)
- o Security fixes:
- - Directory authorities now call routers Fast if their bandwidth is
- at least 100KB/s, and consider their bandwidth adequate to be a
- Guard if it is at least 250KB/s, no matter the medians. This fix
- complements proposal 107. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
- - Directory authorities now never mark more than 3 servers per IP as
- Valid and Running. (Implements proposal 109, by Kevin Bauer and
- Damon McCoy.)
- o Major bugfixes (directory):
- - Rewrite directory tokenization code to never run off the end of
- a string. Fixes bug 455. Patch from croup. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
- o Minor features (controller):
- - Add a SOURCE_ADDR field to STREAM NEW events so that controllers can
- match requests to applications. (Patch from Robert Hogan.)
- - Report address and port correctly on connections to DNSPort. (Patch
- from Robert Hogan.)
- - Add a RESOLVE command to launch hostname lookups. (Original patch
- from Robert Hogan.)
- - Add GETINFO status/enough-dir-info to let controllers tell whether
- Tor has downloaded sufficient directory information. (Patch
- from Tup.)
- - You can now use the ControlSocket option to tell Tor to listen for
- controller connections on Unix domain sockets on systems that
- support them. (Patch from Peter Palfrader.)
- - STREAM NEW events are generated for DNSPort requests and for
- tunneled directory connections. (Patch from Robert Hogan.)
- - New "GETINFO address-mappings/*" command to get address mappings
- with expiry information. "addr-mappings/*" is now deprecated.
- (Patch from Tup.)
- o Minor features (misc):
- - Merge in some (as-yet-unused) IPv6 address manipulation code. (Patch
- from croup.)
- - The tor-gencert tool now creates all files as readable to the file
- creator only, and write-protects the authority identity key.
- - When dumping memory usage, list bytes used in buffer memory
- free-lists.
- - When running with dmalloc, dump more stats on hup and exit.
- - Directory authorities now fail quickly and (relatively) harmlessly
- if they generate a network status document that is somehow
- malformed.
- o Performance improvements:
- - Be more aggressive with freeing buffer RAM or putting it on the
- free lists.
- - If exit bandwidth ever exceeds one third of total bandwidth, then
- use the correct formula to weight exit nodes when choosing paths.
- (Based on patch from Mike Perry.)
- - Use Critical Sections rather than Mutexes for synchronizing threads
- on win32; Mutexes are heavier-weight, and designed for synchronizing
- between processes.
- o Deprecated and removed features:
- - RedirectExits is now deprecated.
- - Stop allowing address masks that do not correspond to bit prefixes.
- We have warned about these for a really long time; now it's time
- to reject them. (Patch from croup.)
- o Minor bugfixes (directory):
- - Fix another crash bug related to extra-info caching. (Bug found by
- Peter Palfrader.) [Bugfix on 0.2.0.2-alpha]
- - Directories no longer return a "304 not modified" when they don't
- have the networkstatus the client asked for. Also fix a memory
- leak when returning 304 not modified. [Bugfixes on 0.2.0.2-alpha]
- - We had accidentally labelled 0.1.2.x directory servers as not
- suitable for begin_dir requests, and had labelled no directory
- servers as suitable for uploading extra-info documents. [Bugfix
- on 0.2.0.1-alpha]
- o Minor bugfixes (dns):
- - Fix a crash when DNSPort is set more than once. (Patch from Robert
- Hogan.) [Bugfix on 0.2.0.2-alpha]
- - Add DNSPort connections to the global connection list, so that we
- can time them out correctly. (Bug found by Robert Hogan.) [Bugfix
- on 0.2.0.2-alpha]
- - Fix a dangling reference that could lead to a crash when DNSPort is
- changed or closed (Patch from Robert Hogan.) [Bugfix on
- 0.2.0.2-alpha]
- o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- - Provide DNS expiry times in GMT, not in local time. For backward
- compatibility, ADDRMAP events only provide GMT expiry in an extended
- field. "GETINFO address-mappings" always does the right thing.
- - Use CRLF line endings properly in NS events.
- - Terminate multi-line control events properly. (Original patch from tup.)
- [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x-alpha]
- o Minor bugfixes (misc):
- - Choose perfectly fairly among routers when choosing by bandwidth and
- weighting by fraction of bandwidth provided by exits. Previously, we
- would choose with only approximate fairness, and correct ourselves
- if we ran off the end of the list. [Bugfix on 0.1.2.x]
- Changes in version 0.1.2.15 - 2007-07-17
- o Major bugfixes (compilation):
- - Fix compile on FreeBSD/NetBSD/OpenBSD. Oops.
- o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- - Try even harder not to dereference the first character after
- an mmap(). Reported by lodger.
- - Fix a crash bug in directory authorities when we re-number the
- routerlist while inserting a new router.
- - When the cached-routers file is an even multiple of the page size,
- don't run off the end and crash. (Fixes bug 455; based on idea
- from croup.)
- - Fix eventdns.c behavior on Solaris: It is critical to include
- orconfig.h _before_ sys/types.h, so that we can get the expected
- definition of _FILE_OFFSET_BITS.
- o Major bugfixes (security):
- - Fix a possible buffer overrun when using BSD natd support. Bug
- found by croup.
- - When sending destroy cells from a circuit's origin, don't include
- the reason for tearing down the circuit. The spec says we didn't,
- and now we actually don't. Reported by lodger.
- - Keep streamids from different exits on a circuit separate. This
- bug may have allowed other routers on a given circuit to inject
- cells into streams. Reported by lodger; fixes bug 446.
- - If there's a never-before-connected-to guard node in our list,
- never choose any guards past it. This way we don't expand our
- guard list unless we need to.
- o Minor bugfixes (guard nodes):
- - Weight guard selection by bandwidth, so that low-bandwidth nodes
- don't get overused as guards.
- o Minor bugfixes (directory):
- - Correctly count the number of authorities that recommend each
- version. Previously, we were under-counting by 1.
- - Fix a potential crash bug when we load many server descriptors at
- once and some of them make others of them obsolete. Fixes bug 458.
- o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- - Stop tearing down the whole circuit when the user asks for a
- connection to a port that the hidden service didn't configure.
- Resolves bug 444.
- o Minor bugfixes (misc):
- - On Windows, we were preventing other processes from reading
- cached-routers while Tor was running. Reported by janbar.
- - Fix a possible (but very unlikely) bug in picking routers by
- bandwidth. Add a log message to confirm that it is in fact
- unlikely. Patch from lodger.
- - Backport a couple of memory leak fixes.
- - Backport miscellaneous cosmetic bugfixes.
- Changes in version 0.2.0.2-alpha - 2007-06-02
- o Major bugfixes on 0.2.0.1-alpha:
- - Fix an assertion failure related to servers without extra-info digests.
- Resolves bugs 441 and 442.
- o Minor features (directory):
- - Support "If-Modified-Since" when answering HTTP requests for
- directories, running-routers documents, and network-status documents.
- (There's no need to support it for router descriptors, since those
- are downloaded by descriptor digest.)
- o Minor build issues:
- - Clear up some MIPSPro compiler warnings.
- - When building from a tarball on a machine that happens to have SVK
- installed, report the micro-revision as whatever version existed
- in the tarball, not as "x".
- Changes in version 0.2.0.1-alpha - 2007-06-01
- o Major features, server usability:
- - New config options RelayBandwidthRate and RelayBandwidthBurst:
- a separate set of token buckets for relayed traffic. Right now
- relayed traffic is defined as answers to directory requests, and
- OR connections that don't have any local circuits on them.
- o Major features, client usability:
- - A client-side DNS proxy feature to replace the need for
- dns-proxy-tor: Just set "DNSPort 9999", and Tor will now listen
- for DNS requests on port 9999, use the Tor network to resolve them
- anonymously, and send the reply back like a regular DNS server.
- The code still only implements a subset of DNS.
- - Make PreferTunneledDirConns and TunnelDirConns work even when
- we have no cached directory info. This means Tor clients can now
- do all of their connections protected by TLS.
- o Major features, performance and efficiency:
- - Directory authorities accept and serve "extra info" documents for
- routers. These documents contain fields from router descriptors
- that aren't usually needed, and that use a lot of excess
- bandwidth. Once these fields are removed from router descriptors,
- the bandwidth savings should be about 60%. [Partially implements
- proposal 104.]
- - Servers upload extra-info documents to any authority that accepts
- them. Authorities (and caches that have been configured to download
- extra-info documents) download them as needed. [Partially implements
- proposal 104.]
- - Change the way that Tor buffers data that it is waiting to write.
- Instead of queueing data cells in an enormous ring buffer for each
- client->OR or OR->OR connection, we now queue cells on a separate
- queue for each circuit. This lets us use less slack memory, and
- will eventually let us be smarter about prioritizing different kinds
- of traffic.
- - Use memory pools to allocate cells with better speed and memory
- efficiency, especially on platforms where malloc() is inefficient.
- - Stop reading on edge connections when their corresponding circuit
- buffers are full; start again as the circuits empty out.
- o Major features, other:
- - Add an HSAuthorityRecordStats option that hidden service authorities
- can use to track statistics of overall hidden service usage without
- logging information that would be very useful to an attacker.
- - Start work implementing multi-level keys for directory authorities:
- Add a standalone tool to generate key certificates. (Proposal 103.)
- o Security fixes:
- - Directory authorities now call routers Stable if they have an
- uptime of at least 30 days, even if that's not the median uptime
- in the network. Implements proposal 107, suggested by Kevin Bauer
- and Damon McCoy.
- o Minor fixes (resource management):
- - Count the number of open sockets separately from the number
- of active connection_t objects. This will let us avoid underusing
- our allocated connection limit.
- - We no longer use socket pairs to link an edge connection to an
- anonymous directory connection or a DirPort test connection.
- Instead, we track the link internally and transfer the data
- in-process. This saves two sockets per "linked" connection (at the
- client and at the server), and avoids the nasty Windows socketpair()
- workaround.
- - Keep unused 4k and 16k buffers on free lists, rather than wasting 8k
- for every single inactive connection_t. Free items from the
- 4k/16k-buffer free lists when they haven't been used for a while.
- o Minor features (build):
- - Make autoconf search for libevent, openssl, and zlib consistently.
- - Update deprecated macros in configure.in.
- - When warning about missing headers, tell the user to let us
- know if the compile succeeds anyway, so we can downgrade the
- warning.
- - Include the current subversion revision as part of the version
- string: either fetch it directly if we're in an SVN checkout, do
- some magic to guess it if we're in an SVK checkout, or use
- the last-detected version if we're building from a .tar.gz.
- Use this version consistently in log messages.
- o Minor features (logging):
- - Always prepend "Bug: " to any log message about a bug.
- - Put a platform string (e.g. "Linux i686") in the startup log
- message, so when people paste just their logs, we know if it's
- OpenBSD or Windows or what.
- - When logging memory usage, break down memory used in buffers by
- buffer type.
- o Minor features (directory system):
- - New config option V2AuthoritativeDirectory that all directory
- authorities should set. This will let future authorities choose
- not to serve V2 directory information.
- - Directory authorities allow multiple router descriptors and/or extra
- info documents to be uploaded in a single go. This will make
- implementing proposal 104 simpler.
- o Minor features (controller):
- - Add a new config option __DisablePredictedCircuits designed for
- use by the controller, when we don't want Tor to build any circuits
- preemptively.
- - Let the controller specify HOP=%d as an argument to ATTACHSTREAM,
- so we can exit from the middle of the circuit.
- - Implement "getinfo status/circuit-established".
- - Implement "getinfo status/version/..." so a controller can tell
- whether the current version is recommended, and whether any versions
- are good, and how many authorities agree. (Patch from shibz.)
- o Minor features (hidden services):
- - Allow multiple HiddenServicePort directives with the same virtual
- port; when they occur, the user is sent round-robin to one
- of the target ports chosen at random. Partially fixes bug 393 by
- adding limited ad-hoc round-robining.
- o Minor features (other):
- - More unit tests.
- - Add a new AutomapHostsOnResolve option: when it is enabled, any
- resolve request for hosts matching a given pattern causes Tor to
- generate an internal virtual address mapping for that host. This
- allows DNSPort to work sensibly with hidden service users. By
- default, .exit and .onion addresses are remapped; the list of
- patterns can be reconfigured with AutomapHostsSuffixes.
- - Add an "-F" option to tor-resolve to force a resolve for a .onion
- address. Thanks to the AutomapHostsOnResolve option, this is no
- longer a completely silly thing to do.
- - If Tor is invoked from something that isn't a shell (e.g. Vidalia),
- now we expand "-f ~/.tor/torrc" correctly. Suggested by Matt Edman.
- - Treat "2gb" when given in torrc for a bandwidth as meaning 2gb,
- minus 1 byte: the actual maximum declared bandwidth.
- o Removed features:
- - Removed support for the old binary "version 0" controller protocol.
- This has been deprecated since 0.1.1, and warnings have been issued
- since 0.1.2. When we encounter a v0 control message, we now send
- back an error and close the connection.
- - Remove the old "dns worker" server DNS code: it hasn't been default
- since 0.1.2.2-alpha, and all the servers seem to be using the new
- eventdns code.
- o Minor bugfixes (portability):
- - Even though Windows is equally happy with / and \ as path separators,
- try to use \ consistently on Windows and / consistently on Unix: it
- makes the log messages nicer.
- - Correctly report platform name on Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98 SE.
- - Read resolv.conf files correctly on platforms where read() returns
- partial results on small file reads.
- o Minor bugfixes (directory):
- - Correctly enforce that elements of directory objects do not appear
- more often than they are allowed to appear.
- - When we are reporting the DirServer line we just parsed, we were
- logging the second stanza of the key fingerprint, not the first.
- o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- - When we hit an EOF on a log (probably because we're shutting down),
- don't try to remove the log from the list: just mark it as
- unusable. (Bulletproofs against bug 222.)
- o Minor bugfixes (other):
- - In the exitlist script, only consider the most recently published
- server descriptor for each server. Also, when the user requests
- a list of servers that _reject_ connections to a given address,
- explicitly exclude the IPs that also have servers that accept
- connections to that address. (Resolves bug 405.)
- - Stop allowing hibernating servers to be "stable" or "fast".
- - On Windows, we were preventing other processes from reading
- cached-routers while Tor was running. (Reported by janbar)
- - Make the NodeFamilies config option work. (Reported by
- lodger -- it has never actually worked, even though we added it
- in Oct 2004.)
- - Check return values from pthread_mutex functions.
- - Don't save non-general-purpose router descriptors to the disk cache,
- because we have no way of remembering what their purpose was when
- we restart.
- - Add even more asserts to hunt down bug 417.
- - Build without verbose warnings even on (not-yet-released) gcc 4.2.
- - Fix a possible (but very unlikely) bug in picking routers by bandwidth.
- Add a log message to confirm that it is in fact unlikely.
- o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- - Make 'getinfo fingerprint' return a 551 error if we're not a
- server, so we match what the control spec claims we do. Reported
- by daejees.
- - Fix a typo in an error message when extendcircuit fails that
- caused us to not follow the \r\n-based delimiter protocol. Reported
- by daejees.
- o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- - Stop passing around circuit_t and crypt_path_t pointers that are
- implicit in other procedure arguments.
- - Drop the old code to choke directory connections when the
- corresponding OR connections got full: thanks to the cell queue
- feature, OR conns don't get full any more.
- - Make dns_resolve() handle attaching connections to circuits
- properly, so the caller doesn't have to.
- - Rename wants_to_read and wants_to_write to read/write_blocked_on_bw.
- - Keep the connection array as a dynamic smartlist_t, rather than as
- a fixed-sized array. This is important, as the number of connections
- is becoming increasingly decoupled from the number of sockets.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.14 - 2007-05-25
- o Directory authority changes:
- - Two directory authorities (moria1 and moria2) just moved to new
- IP addresses. This change will particularly affect those who serve
- or use hidden services.
- o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- - If a directory server runs out of space in the connection table
- as it's processing a begin_dir request, it will free the exit stream
- but leave it attached to the circuit, leading to unpredictable
- behavior. (Reported by seeess, fixes bug 425.)
- - Fix a bug in dirserv_remove_invalid() that would cause authorities
- to corrupt memory under some really unlikely scenarios.
- - Tighten router parsing rules. (Bugs reported by Benedikt Boss.)
- - Avoid segfaults when reading from mmaped descriptor file. (Reported
- by lodger.)
- o Major bugfixes (security):
- - When choosing an entry guard for a circuit, avoid using guards
- that are in the same family as the chosen exit
- that are exactly the chosen exit. (Reported by lodger.)
- o Major bugfixes (resource management):
- - If a directory authority is down, skip it when deciding where to get
- networkstatus objects or descriptors. Otherwise we keep asking
- every 10 seconds forever. Fixes bug 384.
- - Count it as a failure if we fetch a valid network-status but we
- don't want to keep it. Otherwise we'll keep fetching it and keep
- not wanting to keep it. Fixes part of bug 422.
- - If all of our dirservers have given us bad or no networkstatuses
- lately, then stop hammering them once per minute even when we
- think they're failed. Fixes another part of bug 422.
- o Minor bugfixes:
- - Actually set the purpose correctly for descriptors inserted with
- purpose=controller.
- - When we have k non-v2 authorities in our DirServer config,
- we ignored the last k authorities in the list when updating our
- network-statuses.
- - Correctly back-off from requesting router descriptors that we are
- having a hard time downloading.
- - Read resolv.conf files correctly on platforms where read() returns
- partial results on small file reads.
- - Don't rebuild the entire router store every time we get 32K of
- routers: rebuild it when the journal gets very large, or when
- the gaps in the store get very large.
- o Minor features:
- - When routers publish SVN revisions in their router descriptors,
- authorities now include those versions correctly in networkstatus
- documents.
- - Warn when using a version of libevent before 1.3b to run a server on
- OSX or BSD: these versions interact badly with userspace threads.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.13 - 2007-04-24
- o Minor fixes:
- - Fix a memory leak when we ask for "all" networkstatuses and we
- get one we don't recognize.
- - Add more asserts to hunt down bug 417.
- - Disable kqueue on OS X 10.3 and earlier, to fix bug 371.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.12-rc - 2007-03-16
- o Major bugfixes:
- - Fix an infinite loop introduced in 0.1.2.7-alpha when we serve
- directory information requested inside Tor connections (i.e. via
- begin_dir cells). It only triggered when the same connection was
- serving other data at the same time. Reported by seeess.
- o Minor bugfixes:
- - When creating a circuit via the controller, send a 'launched'
- event when we're done, so we follow the spec better.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.11-rc - 2007-03-15
- o Minor bugfixes (controller), reported by daejees:
- - Correct the control spec to match how the code actually responds
- to 'getinfo addr-mappings/*'.
- - The control spec described a GUARDS event, but the code
- implemented a GUARD event. Standardize on GUARD, but let people
- ask for GUARDS too.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.10-rc - 2007-03-07
- o Major bugfixes (Windows):
- - Do not load the NT services library functions (which may not exist)
- just to detect if we're a service trying to shut down. Now we run
- on Win98 and friends again.
- o Minor bugfixes (other):
- - Clarify a couple of log messages.
- - Fix a misleading socks5 error number.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.9-rc - 2007-03-02
- o Major bugfixes (Windows):
- - On MinGW, use "%I64u" to printf/scanf 64-bit integers, instead
- of the usual GCC "%llu". This prevents a bug when saving 64-bit
- int configuration values: the high-order 32 bits would get
- truncated. In particular, we were being bitten by the default
- MaxAdvertisedBandwidth of 128 TB turning into 0. (Fixes bug 400
- and maybe also bug 397.)
- o Minor bugfixes (performance):
- - Use OpenSSL's AES implementation on platforms where it's faster.
- This could save us as much as 10% CPU usage.
- o Minor bugfixes (server):
- - Do not rotate onion key immediately after setting it for the first
- time.
- o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities):
- - Stop calling servers that have been hibernating for a long time
- "stable". Also, stop letting hibernating or obsolete servers affect
- uptime and bandwidth cutoffs.
- - Stop listing hibernating servers in the v1 directory.
- o Minor bugfixes (hidden services):
- - Upload hidden service descriptors slightly less often, to reduce
- load on authorities.
- o Minor bugfixes (other):
- - Fix an assert that could trigger if a controller quickly set then
- cleared EntryNodes. (Bug found by Udo van den Heuvel.)
- - On architectures where sizeof(int)>4, still clamp declarable bandwidth
- to INT32_MAX.
- - Fix a potential race condition in the rpm installer. Found by
- Stefan Nordhausen.
- - Try to fix eventdns warnings once and for all: do not treat a dns rcode
- of 2 as indicating that the server is completely bad; it sometimes
- means that the server is just bad for the request in question. (may fix
- the last of bug 326.)
- - Disable encrypted directory connections when we don't have a server
- descriptor for the destination. We'll get this working again in
- the 0.2.0 branch.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.8-beta - 2007-02-26
- o Major bugfixes (crashes):
- - Stop crashing when the controller asks us to resetconf more than
- one config option at once. (Vidalia 0.0.11 does this.)
- - Fix a crash that happened on Win98 when we're given command-line
- arguments: don't try to load NT service functions from advapi32.dll
- except when we need them. (Bug introduced in 0.1.2.7-alpha;
- resolves bug 389.)
- - Fix a longstanding obscure crash bug that could occur when
- we run out of DNS worker processes. (Resolves bug 390.)
- o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
- - Correctly detect whether hidden service descriptor downloads are
- in-progress. (Suggested by Karsten Loesing; fixes bug 399.)
- o Major bugfixes (accounting):
- - When we start during an accounting interval before it's time to wake
- up, remember to wake up at the correct time. (May fix bug 342.)
- o Minor bugfixes (controller):
- - Give the controller END_STREAM_REASON_DESTROY events _before_ we
- clear the corresponding on_circuit variable, and remember later
- that we don't need to send a redundant CLOSED event. (Resolves part
- 3 of bug 367.)
- - Report events where a resolve succeeded or where we got a socks
- protocol error correctly, rather than calling both of them
- "INTERNAL".
- - Change reported stream target addresses to IP consistently when
- we finally get the IP from an exit node.
- - Send log messages to the controller even if they happen to be very
- long.
- o Minor bugfixes (other):
- - Display correct results when reporting which versions are
- recommended, and how recommended they are. (Resolves bug 383.)
- - Improve our estimates for directory bandwidth to be less random:
- guess that an unrecognized directory will have the average bandwidth
- from all known directories, not that it will have the average
- bandwidth from those directories earlier than it on the list.
- - If we start a server with ClientOnly 1, then set ClientOnly to 0
- and hup, stop triggering an assert based on an empty onion_key.
- - On platforms with no working mmap() equivalent, don't warn the
- user when cached-routers doesn't exist.
- - Warn the user when mmap() [or its equivalent] fails for some reason
- other than file-not-found.
- - Don't warn the user when cached-routers.new doesn't exist: that's
- perfectly fine when starting up for the first time.
- - When EntryNodes are configured, rebuild the guard list to contain,
- in order: the EntryNodes that were guards before; the rest of the
- EntryNodes; the nodes that were guards before.
- - Mask out all signals in sub-threads; only the libevent signal
- handler should be processing them. This should prevent some crashes
- on some machines using pthreads. (Patch from coderman.)
- - Fix switched arguments on memset in the implementation of
- tor_munmap() for systems with no mmap() call.
- - When Tor receives a router descriptor that it asked for, but
- no longer wants (because it has received fresh networkstatuses
- in the meantime), do not warn the user. Cache the descriptor if
- we're a cache; drop it if we aren't.
- - Make earlier entry guards _really_ get retried when the network
- comes back online.
- - On a malformed DNS reply, always give an error to the corresponding
- DNS request.
- - Build with recent libevents on platforms that do not define the
- nonstandard types "u_int8_t" and friends.
- o Minor features (controller):
- - Warn the user when an application uses the obsolete binary v0
- control protocol. We're planning to remove support for it during
- the next development series, so it's good to give people some
- advance warning.
- - Add STREAM_BW events to report per-entry-stream bandwidth
- use. (Patch from Robert Hogan.)
- - Rate-limit SIGNEWNYM signals in response to controllers that
- impolitely generate them for every single stream. (Patch from
- mwenge; closes bug 394.)
- - Make REMAP stream events have a SOURCE (cache or exit), and
- make them generated in every case where we get a successful
- connected or resolved cell.
- o Minor bugfixes (performance):
- - Call router_have_min_dir_info half as often. (This is showing up in
- some profiles, but not others.)
- - When using GCC, make log_debug never get called at all, and its
- arguments never get evaluated, when no debug logs are configured.
- (This is showing up in some profiles, but not others.)
- o Minor features:
- - Remove some never-implemented options. Mark PathlenCoinWeight as
- obsolete.
- - Implement proposal 106: Stop requiring clients to have well-formed
- certificates; stop checking nicknames in certificates. (Clients
- have certificates so that they can look like Tor servers, but in
- the future we might want to allow them to look like regular TLS
- clients instead. Nicknames in certificates serve no purpose other
- than making our protocol easier to recognize on the wire.)
- - Revise messages on handshake failure again to be even more clear about
- which are incoming connections and which are outgoing.
- - Discard any v1 directory info that's over 1 month old (for
- directories) or over 1 week old (for running-routers lists).
- - Do not warn when individual nodes in the configuration's EntryNodes,
- ExitNodes, etc are down: warn only when all possible nodes
- are down. (Fixes bug 348.)
- - Always remove expired routers and networkstatus docs before checking
- whether we have enough information to build circuits. (Fixes
- bug 373.)
- - Put a lower-bound on MaxAdvertisedBandwidth.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.7-alpha - 2007-02-06
- o Major bugfixes (rate limiting):
- - Servers decline directory requests much more aggressively when
- they're low on bandwidth. Otherwise they end up queueing more and
- more directory responses, which can't be good for latency.
- - But never refuse directory requests from local addresses.
- - Fix a memory leak when sending a 503 response for a networkstatus
- request.
- - Be willing to read or write on local connections (e.g. controller
- connections) even when the global rate limiting buckets are empty.
- - If our system clock jumps back in time, don't publish a negative
- uptime in the descriptor. Also, don't let the global rate limiting
- buckets go absurdly negative.
- - Flush local controller connection buffers periodically as we're
- writing to them, so we avoid queueing 4+ megabytes of data before
- trying to flush.
- o Major bugfixes (NT services):
- - Install as NT_AUTHORITY\LocalService rather than as SYSTEM; add a
- command-line flag so that admins can override the default by saying
- "tor --service install --user "SomeUser"". This will not affect
- existing installed services. Also, warn the user that the service
- will look for its configuration file in the service user's
- %appdata% directory. (We can't do the 'hardwire the user's appdata
- directory' trick any more, since we may not have read access to that
- directory.)
- o Major bugfixes (other):
- - Previously, we would cache up to 16 old networkstatus documents
- indefinitely, if they came from nontrusted authorities. Now we
- discard them if they are more than 10 days old.
- - Fix a crash bug in the presence of DNS hijacking (reported by Andrew
- Del Vecchio).
- - Detect and reject malformed DNS responses containing circular
- pointer loops.
- - If exits are rare enough that we're not marking exits as guards,
- ignore exit bandwidth when we're deciding the required bandwidth
- to become a guard.
- - When we're handling a directory connection tunneled over Tor,
- don't fill up internal memory buffers with all the data we want
- to tunnel; instead, only add it if the OR connection that will
- eventually receive it has some room for it. (This can lead to
- slowdowns in tunneled dir connections; a better solution will have
- to wait for 0.2.0.)
- o Minor bugfixes (dns):
- - Add some defensive programming to eventdns.c in an attempt to catch
- possible memory-stomping bugs.
- - Detect and reject DNS replies containing IPv4 or IPv6 records with
- an incorrect number of bytes. (Previously, we would ignore the
- extra bytes.)
- - Fix as-yet-unused reverse IPv6 lookup code so it sends nybbles
- in the correct order, and doesn't crash.
- - Free memory held in recently-completed DNS lookup attempts on exit.
- This was not a memory leak, but may have been hiding memory leaks.
- - Handle TTL values correctly on reverse DNS lookups.
- - Treat failure to parse resolv.conf as an error.
- o Minor bugfixes (other):
- - Fix crash with "tor --list-fingerprint" (reported by seeess).
- - When computing clock skew from directory HTTP headers, consider what
- time it was when we finished asking for the directory, not what
- time it is now.
- - Expire socks connections if they spend too long waiting for the
- handshake to finish. Previously we would let them sit around for
- days, if the connecting application didn't close them either.
- - And if the socks handshake hasn't started, don't send a
- "DNS resolve socks failed" handshake reply; just close it.
- - Stop using C functions that OpenBSD's linker doesn't like.
- - Don't launch requests for descriptors unless we have networkstatuses
- from at least half of the authorities. This delays the first
- download slightly under pathological circumstances, but can prevent
- us from downloading a bunch of descriptors we don't need.
- - Do not log IPs with TLS failures for incoming TLS
- connections. (Fixes bug 382.)
- - If the user asks to use invalid exit nodes, be willing to use
- unstable ones.
- - Stop using the reserved ac_cv namespace in our configure script.
- - Call stat() slightly less often; use fstat() when possible.
- - Refactor the way we handle pending circuits when an OR connection
- completes or fails, in an attempt to fix a rare crash bug.
- - Only rewrite a conn's address based on X-Forwarded-For: headers
- if it's a parseable public IP address; and stop adding extra quotes
- to the resulting address.
- o Major features:
- - Weight directory requests by advertised bandwidth. Now we can
- let servers enable write limiting but still allow most clients to
- succeed at their directory requests. (We still ignore weights when
- choosing a directory authority; I hope this is a feature.)
- o Minor features:
- - Create a new file ReleaseNotes which was the old ChangeLog. The
- new ChangeLog file now includes the summaries for all development
- versions too.
- - Check for addresses with invalid characters at the exit as well
- as at the client, and warn less verbosely when they fail. You can
- override this by setting ServerDNSAllowNonRFC953Addresses to 1.
- - Adapt a patch from goodell to let the contrib/exitlist script
- take arguments rather than require direct editing.
- - Inform the server operator when we decide not to advertise a
- DirPort due to AccountingMax enabled or a low BandwidthRate. It
- was confusing Zax, so now we're hopefully more helpful.
- - Bring us one step closer to being able to establish an encrypted
- directory tunnel without knowing a descriptor first. Still not
- ready yet. As part of the change, now assume we can use a
- create_fast cell if we don't know anything about a router.
- - Allow exit nodes to use nameservers running on ports other than 53.
- - Servers now cache reverse DNS replies.
- - Add an
- get the "use sensible defaults if the configuration file doesn't
- exist" behavior even when specifying a torrc location on the command
- line.
- o Minor features (controller):
- - Track reasons for OR connection failure; make these reasons
- available via the controller interface. (Patch from Mike Perry.)
- - Add a SOCKS_BAD_HOSTNAME client status event so controllers
- can learn when clients are sending malformed hostnames to Tor.
- - Clean up documentation for controller status events.
- - Add a REMAP status to stream events to note that a stream's
- address has changed because of a cached address or a MapAddress
- directive.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.6-alpha - 2007-01-09
- o Major bugfixes:
- - Fix an assert error introduced in 0.1.2.5-alpha: if a single TLS
- connection handles more than 4 gigs in either direction, we crash.
- - Fix an assert error introduced in 0.1.2.5-alpha: if we're an
- advertised exit node, somebody might try to exit from us when
- we're bootstrapping and before we've built our descriptor yet.
- Refuse the connection rather than crashing.
- o Minor bugfixes:
- - Warn if we (as a server) find that we've resolved an address that we
- weren't planning to resolve.
- - Warn that using select() on any libevent version before 1.1 will be
- unnecessarily slow (even for select()).
- - Flush ERR-level controller status events just like we currently
- flush ERR-level log events, so that a Tor shutdown doesn't prevent
- the controller from learning about current events.
- o Minor features (more controller status events):
- - Implement EXTERNAL_ADDRESS server status event so controllers can
- learn when our address changes.
- - Implement BAD_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR server status event so controllers
- can learn when directories reject our descriptor.
- - Implement SOCKS_UNKNOWN_PROTOCOL client status event so controllers
- can learn when a client application is speaking a non-socks protocol
- to our SocksPort.
- - Implement DANGEROUS_SOCKS client status event so controllers
- can learn when a client application is leaking DNS addresses.
- - Implement BUG general status event so controllers can learn when
- Tor is unhappy about its internal invariants.
- - Implement CLOCK_SKEW general status event so controllers can learn
- when Tor thinks the system clock is set incorrectly.
- - Implement GOOD_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR and ACCEPTED_SERVER_DESCRIPTOR
- server status events so controllers can learn when their descriptors
- are accepted by a directory.
- - Implement CHECKING_REACHABILITY and REACHABILITY_{SUCCEEDED|FAILED}
- server status events so controllers can learn about Tor's progress in
- deciding whether it's reachable from the outside.
- - Implement BAD_LIBEVENT general status event so controllers can learn
- when we have a version/method combination in libevent that needs to
- be changed.
- - Implement NAMESERVER_STATUS, NAMESERVER_ALL_DOWN, DNS_HIJACKED,
- and DNS_USELESS server status events so controllers can learn
- about changes to DNS server status.
- o Minor features (directory):
- - Authorities no longer recommend exits as guards if this would shift
- too much load to the exit nodes.
- Changes in version 0.1.2.5-alpha - 2007-01-06
- o Major features:
- - Enable write limiting as well as read limiting. Now we sacrifice
- capacity if we're pushing out lots of directory traffic, rather
- than overrunning the user's intended bandwidth limits.
- - Include TLS overhead when counting bandwidth usage; previously, we
- would count only the bytes sent over TLS, but not the bytes used
- to send them.
- - Support running the Tor service with a torrc not in the same
- directory as tor.exe and default to using the torrc located in
- the %appdata%\Tor\ of the user who installed the service. Patch
- from Matt Edman.
- - Servers now check for the case when common DNS requests are going to
- wildcarded addresses (i.e. all getting the same answer), and change
- their exit policy to reject *:* if it's happening.
- - Implement BEGIN_DIR cells, so we can connect to the directory
- server via TLS to do encrypted directory requests rather than
- plaintext. Enable via the TunnelDirConns and PreferTunneledDirConns
- config options if you like.
- o Minor features (config and docs):
- - Start using the state file to store bandwidth accounting data:
- the bw_accounting file is now obsolete. We'll keep generating it
- for a while for people who are still using 0.1.2.4-alpha.
- - Try to batch changes to the state file so that we do as few
- disk writes as possible while still storing important things in
- a timely fashion.
- - The state file and the bw_accounting file get saved less often when
- the AvoidDiskWrites config option is set.
- - Make PIDFile work on Windows (untested).
- - Add internal descriptions for a bunch of configuration options:
- accessible via controller interface and in comments in saved
- options files.
- - Reject *:563 (NNTPS) in the default exit policy. We already reject
- NNTP by default, so this seems like a sensible addition.
- - Clients now reject hostnames with invalid characters. This should
- avoid some inadvertent info leaks. Add an option
- AllowNonRFC953Hostnames to disable this behavior, in case somebody
- is running a private network with hosts called @, !, and #.
- - Add a maintainer script to tell us which options are missing
- documentation: "make check-docs".
- - Add a new address-spec.txt document to describe our special-case
- addresses: .exit, .onion, and .noconnnect.
- o Minor features (DNS):
- - Ongoing work on eventdns infrastructure: now it has dns server
- and ipv6 support. One day Tor will make use of it.
- - Add client-side caching for reverse DNS lookups.
- - Add support to tor-resolve tool for reverse lookups and SOCKS5.
- - When we change nameservers or IP addresses, reset and re-launch
- our tests for DNS hijacking.
- o Minor features (directory):
- - Authorities now specify server versions in networkstatus. This adds
- about 2% to the size of compressed networkstatus docs, and allows
- clients to tell which servers support BEGIN_DIR and which don't.
- The implementation is forward-compatible with a proposed future
- protocol version scheme not tied to Tor versions.
- - DirServer configuration lines now have an orport= option so
- clients can open encrypted tunnels to the authorities without
- having downloaded their descriptors yet. Enabled for moria1,
- moria2, tor26, and lefkada now in the default configuration.
- - Directory servers are more willing to send a 503 "busy" if they
- are near their write limit, especially for v1 directory requests.
- Now they can use their limited bandwidth for actual Tor traffic.
- - Clients track responses with status 503 from dirservers. After a
- dirserver has given us a 503, we try not to use it until an hour has
- gone by, or until we have no dirservers that haven't given us a 503.
- - When we get a 503 from a directory, and we're not a server, we don't
- count the failure against the total number of failures allowed
- for the thing we're trying to download.
- - Report X-Your-Address-Is correctly from tunneled directory
- connections; don't report X-Your-Address-Is when it's an internal
- address; and never believe reported remote addresses when they're
- internal.
- - Protect against an unlikely DoS attack on directory servers.
- - Add a BadDirectory flag to network status docs so that authorities
- can (eventually) tell clients about caches they believe to be
- broken.
- o Minor features (controller):
- - Have GETINFO dir/status
