Changes in version 0.2.3.18-rc - 2012-06-28
o Major bugfixes:
- Allow wildcarded mapaddress targets to be specified on the
controlport. Partially fixes bug 6244; bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Make our linker option detection code more robust against linkers
such as on FreeBSD 8, where a bad combination of options completes
successfully but makes an unrunnable binary. Fixes bug 6173;
bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- Avoid a false positive in the util/threads unit test by increasing
the maximum timeout time. Fixes bug 6227; bugfix on 0.2.0.4-alpha.
- Replace "Sending publish request" log messages with "Launching
upload", so that they no longer confusingly imply that we're
sending something to a directory we might not even be connected
to yet. Fixes bug 3311; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
- Make sure to set *socket_error in all error cases in
connection_connect(), so it can't produce a warning about
errno being zero from errno_to_orconn_end_reason(). Bugfix on
0.2.1.1-alpha; resolves ticket 6028.
- Downgrade "Got a certificate, but we already have it" log messages
from warning to info, except when we're a dirauth. Fixes bug 5238;
bugfix on 0.2.1.7-alpha.
- When checking for requested signatures on the latest consensus
before serving it to a client, make sure to check the right
consensus flavor. Bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha.
- Downgrade "eventdns rejected address" message to LOG_PROTOCOL_WARN.
Fixes bug 5932; bugfix on 0.2.2.7-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x):
- Make format_helper_exit_status() avoid unnecessary space padding
and stop confusing log_from_pipe(). Fixes ticket 5557; bugfix
on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Downgrade a message about cleaning the microdescriptor cache to
"info" from "notice". Fixes bug 6238; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
- Log a BUG message at severity INFO if we have a networkstatus with
a missing entry for some microdescriptor. Continues on a patch
to 0.2.3.2-alpha.
- Improve the log message when a managed proxy fails to launch. Fixes
bug 5099; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
- Don't do DNS lookups when parsing corrupted managed proxy protocol
messages. Fixes bug 6226; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
- When formatting wildcarded address mappings for the controller,
be sure to include "*." as appropriate. Partially fixes bug 6244;
bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha.
- Avoid a warning caused by using strcspn() from glibc with clang 3.0.
Bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
- Stop logging messages about running with circuit timeout learning
enabled at severity LD_BUG. Fixes bug 6169; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta.
- Disable a spurious warning about reading on a marked and flushing
connection. We shouldn't be doing that, but apparently we
sometimes do. Fixes bug 6203; bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta.
- Fix a bug that stopped AllowDotExit from working on addresses
that had an entry in the DNS cache. Fixes bug 6211; bugfix on
0.2.3.17-beta.
o Code simplification, refactoring, unit tests:
- Move tor_gettimeofday_cached() into compat_libevent.c, and use
Libevent's notion of cached time when possible.
- Remove duplicate code for invoking getrlimit() from control.c.
- Add a unit test for the environment_variable_names_equal function.
o Documentation:
- Document the --defaults-torrc option, and the new (in 0.2.3)
semantics for overriding, extending, and clearing lists of
options. Closes bug 4748.
