+ - Add async dns code from Adam Langley, tweaked to build on OSX
+ and Windows. Only enabled when you pass the --enable-eventdns
+ argument to configure. Implement a priority queue to track
+ when cached DNS resolves will expire, now that we obey the
+ time-to-live (TTL) values we get back.
- Stop fetching descriptors if you're not a dir mirror and you
- haven't tried to establish any circuits lately.
+ haven't tried to establish any circuits lately. This currently
+ causes some dangerous behavior, because when you start up again
+ you'll use your ancient server descriptors.
+ - Split circuit_t into origin_circuit_t and or_circuit_t, and
+ split connection_t into edge, or, dir, control, and base structs.
+ These will save quite a bit of memory on busy servers, and they'll
+ also help us track down bugs and spec mismatches.
+ - Instead of adding server descriptors, v1 directories, or v2
+ networkstatus docs to buffers en masse, directory servers add them
+ on the fly as their outbufs are depleted. This will save memory
+ on busy dirservers.
o Minor changes:
- - New dirport behavior: if you have your dirport set, you are
- now a directory mirror, whether or not your orport is set.
+ - New dirport behavior: if you have your dirport set, you download
+ descriptors aggressively like a directory mirror, whether or not
+ your orport is set.
- Minor changes so Tor builds with mingw on windows.
+ - Start compiling on MSVC6 now. Patch from Frediano Ziglio.
- Claim a commonname of Tor, rather than TOR, in TLS handshakes.
- Maybe this will help us win the war of names.
- Re-enable per-connection rate limiting. Get rid of the "OP
bandwidth" concept. Lay groundwork for "bandwidth classes" --
separate global buckets that apply depending on what sort of conn
it is.
- Add a man page entry for ProtocolWarnings.
- Add more asserts to track down an assert error on a windows Tor
- server with connection_add being called with socket = -1.
+ server with connection_add being called with socket == -1.
- Add TestVia config option to the man page.
+ - Allow Tor to start when RunAsDaemon is set but no logs are set.
+ - Export the default exit policy via the control port, so controllers
+ don't need to guess what it is / will be later.
+
+ - Fix configure.in to not produce broken configure files with
+ more recent versions of autoconf. Thanks to Clint for his auto*
+ voodoo.
+
+
+ - mmap cached-routers file too.
+
+ - refuse to write an iso_time which we can't parse, when dumping
+ bandwidth state. this fixes the particular incident in bug 308,
+ but the general issue remains.
+
+ - Drop compatibility with obsolete Tors that permit create cells
+ to have the wrong circ_id_type.
+
+ - Get rid of the router_retry_connections notion. Now routers
+ no longer try to rebuild long-term connections to directory
+ authorities, and directory authorities no longer try to rebuild
+ long-term connections to all servers. We still don't hang up
+ connections in these two cases though -- we need to look at it
+ more carefully to avoid flapping, and we likely need to wait til
+ 0.1.1.x is obsolete.
+
+ - Remove even more protocol-related warnings from Tor server logs,
+ such as bad TLS handshakes and malformed begin cells.
+
+ - Add X-Your-Address-Is directory http header so clients can get
+ some hints about their current network location. It parses
+ Forwarded-For and X-Forwarded-For http headers to avoid listing
+ proxy addresses if possible. It's not authenticated, so use
+ with care.
+ - Allow servers with no hostname or IP address to learn their
+ IP address by asking the directory authorities. This code only kicks
+ in when you would normally have exited with a "no address" error.
+
+ - Handle reporting OR_CONN_EVENT_NEW events to the controller.
+
+ - If we are using an exit enclave and we can't connect, e.g. because
+ its webserver is misconfigured to not listen on localhost, then
+ back off and try connecting from somewhere else before we fail.
+
+ - Start publishing one minute or so after we find our ORPort
+ to be reachable. This will help reduce the number of descriptors
+ we have for ourselves floating around, since it's quite likely
+ other things (e.g. DirPort) will change during that minute too.
+
+ - When we find our dirport to be reachable, mark our descriptor
+ dirty so we'll tell the world. (fixes bug 306 reported by pnx)
+
+ - Define a schedule for how long to wait between retrying
+ application connections. Rather than waiting a fixed amount of
+ time between each retry, we wait only 5 seconds for the first,
+ 10 seconds for the second, and 15 seconds for each retry after
+ that. Hopefully this will improve the expected user experience.
+
+ - Also, fork the v1 directory protocol into its own spec document,
+ and mark dir-spec.txt as the currently correct (v2) spec.
+
+ - Fix misleading log messages: an entry guard that is "unlisted",
+ as well as not known to be "down" (because we've never heard
+ of it), is not therefore "up".
+
+ - Publish a new descriptor after we hup. this is important if our
+ config has changed such that we'll want to start advertising our
+ dirport now, etc.
+
+ - Remove code to special-case "-cvs" ending, since it has not
+ actually mattered since 0.0.9.
+
+ - Revise and clean up the torrc.sample that we ship with; add
+ a section for BandwidthRate and BandwidthBurst.
+
+ - Recommend libevent 1.1b for kqueue and win32 methods; deprecate
+ libevent 1.0b harder; make libevent recommendation system saner.
+
+ - Experimentally re-enable kqueue on OSX when using libevent 1.1b
+ or later. Log when we are doing this, so we can diagnose it when
+ it fails.
+
+ - Patch from Tup to add support for transparent AP connections:
+ this basically bundles the functionality of trans-proxy-tor
+ into the Tor mainline. Now hosts with compliant pf/netfilter
+ implementations can redirect TCP connections straight to Tor
+ without diverting through SOCKS.
+
+ - Start being able to build universal binaries on OS X (thanks
+ to Phobos).

o Major bugfixes:
- Fast Tor servers, especially exit nodes, were triggering asserts
