+Changes in version 0.2.4.11-alpha - 2013-03-11
+ Tor 0.2.4.11-alpha makes relay measurement by directory authorities
+ more robust, makes hidden service authentication work again, and
+ resolves a DPI fingerprint for Tor's SSL transport.
+
+ o Major features (directory authorities):
+ - Directory authorities now support a new consensus method (17)
+ where they cap the published bandwidth of servers for which
+ insufficient bandwidth measurements exist. Fixes part of bug 2286.
+ - Directory authorities that set "DisableV2DirectoryInfo_ 1" no longer
+ serve any v2 directory information. Now we can test disabling the
+ old deprecated v2 directory format, and see whether doing so has
+ any effect on network load. Begins to fix bug 6783.
+ - Directory authorities now include inside each vote a statement of
+ the performance thresholds they used when assigning flags.
+ Implements ticket 8151.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (directory authorities):
+ - Stop marking every relay as having been down for one hour every
+ time we restart a directory authority. These artificial downtimes
+ were messing with our Stable and Guard flag calculations. Fixes
+ bug 8218 (introduced by the fix for 1035). Bugfix on 0.2.2.23-alpha.
+
+ o Major bugfixes (hidden services):
+ - Allow hidden service authentication to succeed again. When we
+ refactored the hidden service introduction code back
+ in 0.2.4.1-alpha, we didn't update the code that checks
+ whether authentication information is present, causing all
+ authentication checks to return "false". Fix for bug 8207; bugfix
+ on 0.2.4.1-alpha. Found by Coverity; this is CID 718615.
+
+ o Minor features (relays, bridges):
+ - Make bridge relays check once a minute for whether their IP
+ address has changed, rather than only every 15 minutes. Resolves
+ bugs 1913 and 1992.
+ - Refactor resolve_my_address() so it returns the method by which we
+ decided our public IP address (explicitly configured, resolved from
+ explicit hostname, guessed from interfaces, learned by gethostname).
+ Now we can provide more helpful log messages when a relay guesses
+ its IP address incorrectly (e.g. due to unexpected lines in
+ /etc/hosts). Resolves ticket 2267.
+ - Teach bridge-using clients to avoid 0.2.2 bridges when making
+ microdescriptor-related dir requests, and only fall back to normal
+ descriptors if none of their bridges can handle microdescriptors
+ (as opposed to the fix in ticket 4013, which caused them to fall
+ back to normal descriptors if *any* of their bridges preferred
+ them). Resolves ticket 4994.
+ - Randomize the lifetime of our SSL link certificate, so censors can't
+ use the static value for filtering Tor flows. Resolves ticket 8443;
+ related to ticket 4014 which was included in 0.2.2.33.
+
+ o Minor features (portability):
+ - Tweak the curve25519-donna*.c implementations to tolerate systems
+ that lack stdint.h. Fixes bug 3894; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha.
+ - Use Ville Laurikari's implementation of AX_CHECK_SIGN() to determine
+ the signs of types during autoconf. This is better than our old
+ approach, which didn't work when cross-compiling.
+ - Detect the sign of enum values, rather than assuming that MSC is the
+ only compiler where enum types are all signed. Fixes bug 7727;
+ bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
+
+ o Minor features (other):
+ - Say "KBytes" rather than "KB" in the man page (for various values
+ of K), to further reduce confusion about whether Tor counts in
+ units of memory or fractions of units of memory. Resolves ticket 7054.
+ - Clear the high bit on curve25519 public keys before passing them to
+ our backend, in case we ever wind up using a backend that doesn't do
+ so itself. If we used such a backend, and *didn't* clear the high bit,
+ we could wind up in a situation where users with such backends would
+ be distinguishable from users without. Fixes bug 8121; bugfix on
+ 0.2.4.8-alpha.
+ - Update to the February 6 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (clients):
+ - When we receive a RELAY_END cell with the reason DONE, or with no
+ reason, before receiving a RELAY_CONNECTED cell, report the SOCKS
+ status as "connection refused". Previously we reported these cases
+ as success but then immediately closed the connection. Fixes bug
+ 7902; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc. Reported by "oftc_must_be_destroyed".
+ - Downgrade an assertion in connection_ap_expire_beginning to an
+ LD_BUG message. The fix for bug 8024 should prevent this message
+ from displaying, but just in case, a warn that we can diagnose
+ is better than more assert crashes. Fixes bug 8065; bugfix on
+ 0.2.4.8-alpha.
+ - Lower path use bias thresholds to .80 for notice and .60 for warn.
+ Also make the rate limiting flags for the path use bias log messages
+ independent from the original path bias flags. Fixes bug 8161;
+ bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (relays):
+ - Stop trying to resolve our hostname so often (e.g. every time we
+ think about doing a directory fetch). Now we reuse the cached
+ answer in some cases. Fixes bugs 1992 (bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc)
+ and 2410 (bugfix on 0.1.2.2-alpha).
+ - Stop sending a stray "(null)" in some cases for the server status
+ "EXTERNAL_ADDRESS" controller event. Resolves bug 8200; bugfix
+ on 0.1.2.6-alpha.
+ - When choosing which stream on a formerly stalled circuit to wake
+ first, make better use of the platform's weak RNG. Previously,
+ we had been using the % ("modulo") operator to try to generate a
+ 1/N chance of picking each stream, but this behaves badly with
+ many platforms' choice of weak RNG. Fixes bug 7801; bugfix on
+ 0.2.2.20-alpha.
+ - Use our own weak RNG when we need a weak RNG. Windows's rand() and
+ Irix's random() only return 15 bits; Solaris's random() returns more
+ bits but its RAND_MAX says it only returns 15, and so on. Motivated
+ by the fix for bug 7801; bugfix on 0.2.2.20-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (directory authorities):
+ - Directory authorities now use less space when formatting identical
+ microdescriptor lines in directory votes. Fixes bug 8158; bugfix
+ on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (memory leaks spotted by Coverity -- bug 7816):
+ - Avoid leaking memory if we fail to compute a consensus signature
+ or we generate a consensus we can't parse. Bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.
+ - Fix a memory leak when receiving headers from an HTTPS proxy. Bugfix
+ on 0.2.1.1-alpha.
+ - Fix a memory leak during safe-cookie controller authentication.
+ Bugfix on 0.2.3.13-alpha.
+ - Avoid memory leak of IPv6 policy content if we fail to format it into
+ a router descriptor. Bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (other code correctness issues):
+ - Avoid a crash if we fail to generate an extrainfo descriptor.
+ Fixes bug 8208; bugfix on 0.2.3.16-alpha. Found by Coverity;
+ this is CID 718634.
+ - When detecting the largest possible file descriptor (in order to
+ close all file descriptors when launching a new program), actually
+ use _SC_OPEN_MAX. The old code for doing this was very, very broken.
+ Fixes bug 8209; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha. Found by Coverity; this
+ is CID 743383.
+ - Fix a copy-and-paste error when adding a missing A1 to a routerset
+ because of GeoIPExcludeUnknown. Fix for Coverity CID 980650.
+ Bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
+ - Fix an impossible-to-trigger integer overflow when estimating how
+ long our onionskin queue would take. (This overflow would require us
+ to accept 4 million onionskins before processing 100 of them.) Fixes
+ bug 8210; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha.
+
+ o Code simplification and refactoring:
+ - Add a wrapper function for the common "log a message with a
+ rate-limit" case.
