This is the first release candidate for the 0.1.2.x series. We made it
work better on Windows again, and fixed a few other bugs.
This is a release candidate! That means that we don't know of any
remaining show-stopping bugs, and this will become the new stable if
there are no problems. Please test it, and tell us about any problems
that you find.

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.
