- o Major bugfixes (IPv6, relay):
- - Fix a bug that prevented a relay from publishing its descriptor if

- 40279; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
-
- o Minor features (protocol versions):
- - Stop claiming to support the "DirCache=1" subprotocol version.
- Technically, we stopped supporting this subprotocol back in
- 0.4.5.1-alpha, but we needed to wait for the authorities to stop
- listing it as "required" before we could drop it from the list.
- Closes ticket 40221.

- o Minor bugfixes (metrics port):
- - Fix a bug warning when a metrics port socket was unexpectedly
- closed. Fixes bug 40257; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha
-
- o Minor bugfixes (relay):
- - Allow relays to have a RFC1918 address if PublishServerDescriptor
- is set to 0 and AssumeReachable is set to 1. This is to support
- the use case of a bridge on a local network, exposed via a
- pluggable transport. Fixes bug 40208; bugfix on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (relay, config):
- - Fix a problem in the removal of duplicate ORPorts from the
- internal port list when loading the config file. We were removing
- the wrong ports, breaking valid torrc uses cases for multiple
- ORPorts of the same address family. Fixes bug 40289; bugfix
- on 0.4.5.1-alpha.
-
o Major feature (exit):
- Re-entry into the network is now denied at the Exit level to all
relays' ORPorts and authorities' ORPorts and DirPorts. This change
should help mitgate a set of denial-of-service attacks. Closes
ticket 2667.
- o Minor bugfixes (relay, configuration):
- - Don't attempt to discover our address (IPv4 or IPv6) if no ORPort

o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- - Fix another warning about unreachable fallthrough annotations when

- Fixes bug 40241; bugfix on 0.4.5.3-rc.
- Change the linker flag ordering in our library search code so that
it works for compilers that need the libraries to be listed in the
right order. Fixes bug 33624; bugfix on 0.1.1.0-alpha.
- o Minor bugfixes (config, bridge):
- - Don't initiate a connection to a bridge configured to use a
- missing transport. This change reverts an earlier fix that would

- o Minor bugfixes (config, bridge):
- - Really fix the case where torrc has a missing ClientTransportPlugin

-Changes in version 0.4.5.1-alpha - 2020-11-01
- Tor 0.4.5.1-alpha is the first alpha release in the 0.4.5.x series. It
- improves support for IPv6, address discovery and self-testing, code
- metrics and tracing.

- This release also fixes TROVE-2020-005, a security issue that could be
- used, under certain cases, by an adversary to observe traffic patterns
- on a limited number of circuits intended for a different relay. To
- mount this attack, the adversary would need to actively extend
- circuits to an incorrect address, as well as compromise a relay's

- series soon, after it has had some testing.
