+Changes in version 0.4.3.4-rc - 2020-04-1?
+ Tor 0.4.3.4-rc is the first release candidate in its series. It fixes
+ several bugs from earlier versions, including one affecting DoS
+ defenses on bridges using pluggable transports.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (DoS defenses, bridges, pluggable transport):
+ - DoS subsystem was not given the transport name of the client
+ connection when tor is a bridge and thus failing to find the GeoIP
+ cache entry for that client address. This resulted in failing to
+ apply DoS defenses on bridges with a pluggable transport. Fixes
+ bug 33491; bugfix on 0.3.3.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor feature (sendme, flow control):
+ - Default to sending SENDME version 1 cells. (Clients are already
+ sending these, because of a consensus parameter telling them to do
+ so: this change only effects what clients would do if the
+ consensus didn't contain a recommendation.) Closes ticket 33623.
+
+ o Minor features (testing):
+ - The unit tests now support a "TOR_SKIP_TESTCASES" environment
+ variable to specify a list of space-separated test cases that
+ should not be executed. We will use this to disable certain tests
+ that are failing on Appveyor because of mismatched OpenSSL
+ libraries. Part of ticket 33643.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (--disable-module-relay):
+ - Fix an assertion failure when Tor is build without the relay
+ module, and then invoked with the "User" option. Fixes bug 33668;
+ bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (--disable-module-relay,--disable-module-dirauth):
+ - Set some output arguments in the relay and dirauth module stubs,
+ to guard against future stub argument handling bugs like 33668.
+ Fixes bug 33674; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (build system):
+ - Correctly output the enabled module in the configure summary.
+ Before that, the list shown was just plain wrong. Fixes bug 33646;
+ bugfix on 0.4.3.2-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (client, IPv6):
+ - Stop forcing all non-SocksPorts to prefer IPv6 exit connections.
+ Instead, prefer IPv6 connections by default, but allow users to
+ change their configs using the "NoPreferIPv6" port flag. Fixes bug
+ 33608; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
+ - Revert PreferIPv6 set by default on the SocksPort because it
+ brokes the torsocks use case. Tor doesn't have a way for an
+ application to request the hostname to be resolved for a specific
+ IP version but torsocks requires that. Up until now, IPv4 was used
+ by default so it is expecting that, and can't handle a possible
+ IPv6 being returned. Fixes bug 33804; bugfix on 0.4.3.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (key portability):
+ - When reading PEM-encoded key data, tolerate CRLF line-endings even
+ if we are not running on Windows. Previously, non-Windows hosts
+ would reject these line-endings in certain positions, making
+ certain key files hard to move from one host to another. Fixes bug
+ 33032; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (logging):
+ - Flush stderr, stdout, and file logs during shutdown, if supported
+ by the OS. This change helps make sure that any final logs are
+ recorded. Fixes bug 33087; bugfix on 0.4.1.6.
+ - Stop closing stderr and stdout during shutdown. Closing these file
+ descriptors can hide sanitiser logs. Fixes bug 33087; bugfix
+ on 0.4.1.6.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (onion services v3):
+ - Relax severity of a log message that can appear naturally when
+ decoding onion service descriptors as a relay. Also add some
+ diagnostics to debug any future bugs in that area. Fixes bug
+ 31669; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring:
+ - Disable our coding standards best practices tracker in our git
+ hooks. (0.4.3 branches only.) Closes ticket 33678.
+
+ o Testing:
+ - Avoid conflicts between the fake sockets in tor's unit tests, and
+ real file descriptors. Resolves issues running unit tests with
+ GitHub Actions, where the process that embeds or launches the
+ tests has already opened a large number of file descriptors. Fixes
+ bug 33782; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. Found and fixed by
+ Putta Khunchalee.
+
+ o Testing (CI):
+ - In our Appveyor Windows CI, copy required DLLs to test and app,
+ before running tor's tests. This ensures that tor.exe and
+ test*.exe use the correct version of each DLL. This fix is not
+ required, but we hope it will avoid DLL search issues in future.
+ Fixes bug 33673; bugfix on 0.3.4.2-alpha.
+ - On Appveyor, skip the crypto/openssl_version test, which is
+ failing because of a mismatched library installation. Fix
+ for 33643.
+
