conditions. Rename MaxMemInCellQueues to MaxMemInQueues. Fixes
bug 10169.
- o Minor bugfixes:
- - Exit immediately when exiting because of dropped connection from
- a process-owning controller. Previously, if we were running in
- server mode, we would wait for a little while as in the when we
- got an INT signal--but this was problematic, since there was no
- feedback for the user. Controllers that want to do a clean
- shutdown should send an INT signal, and let the user know what's
- going on. Fix for bug 10449; bugfix on 0.2.2.28-beta.

- o Minor bugfixes:
- - Log an improved message when excluding hidden service directory
- nodes prevents a hidden service from working.
- Improves on our fix for bug #10722, which was a bugfix on
- 0.2.0.10-alpha.
-
- o Removed code
- - Remove all code for hidden service authorities to accept and serve
- version 0 descriptors and left-over code for hidden services and
- hidden service clients to upload and fetch version 0 descriptors.
- Version 0 descriptors are not in use anymore since 0.2.2.1-alpha.
- Fixes the rest of bug 10841.
-
o Minor features:
- Bridges write the SHA1 digest of their identity key fingerprint to
notice-level logs and to hashed-fingerprint, so that bridge
operators can look up their bridge in Globe and similar tools.
+ - Improve the message that gets displayed when Tor as a bridge is
+ using pluggable transports but doesn't have an Extended ORPort
+ listener. Furthermore, we now log the message in the log file
+ too. Resolves ticket 11043.
+ - Warn the user if they put any ports in the SocksPolicy,
+ DirPolicy, AuthDirReject, AuthDirInvalid, AuthDirBadDir, or
+ AuthDirBadExit options. Fixes ticket #11108.
+ - Don't log at warning severity when we refuse to launch a
+ pluggable transport proxy that we don't need. Resolves ticket
+ 5018; bugfix on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
+ - Update geoip and geoip6 to the February 7 2014 Maxmind GeoLite2 Country
+ database.
+ - Decrease the lower limit of MaxMemInQueues to 256 MBytes, to
+ appease raspberry pi users. Fixes bug 9686.
+ - Avoid hash-flooding denial-of-service attacks by using the secure
+ SipHash-2-4 hash function for our hashtables. Without this
+ feature, an attacker could degrade performance of a targeted
+ client or server by flooding their data structures with a large
+ number of data entries all calculated to be stored at the same
+ hash table position, thereby degrading hash table
+ performance. With this feature, hash table positions are derived
+ from a randomized cryptographic key using SipHash-2-4, and an
+ attacker cannot predict which entries will collide.
+ Closes ticket 4900.
+ - Made PREDICTED_CIRCS_RELEVANCE_TIME configurable from config
+ file with a new option, PredictedPortsRelevanceTime. Implements
+ ticket #9176. Patch by unixninja92.
+ - Update to the latest version of tinytest.

- o Minor bugfixes
- Fix IPv6 support when using the SocksPort with SOCKS5. Using IPv6
through a SOCKS5 using the SocksPort option will now work with
this fix. This part of the code has never been updated to support
IPv6 thus this does not fix a previously introduced regression.

on 0.2.5.2-alpha.
-
- o Minor bugfixes:
- Avoid strange behavior if two threads hit failed asswertions
at the same time and both try to log backtraces at
once. (Previously, if this had happened, both threads would
have stored their intermediate results in the same buffer, and
generated junk outputs.) Reported by "cypherpunks". Fixes bug

-
- o Minor bugfixes (clients):
- Fix tor so that it raises a control port warning when we fail to
connect to all of our bridges. Fixes bug 11069; bugfix on
tor-0.2.1.2-alpha.

our pluggable transports were configured, which resulted in some
erroneous log messages. Fixes bug 11156; bugfix on

server using Libevent 1. Fixes bug 8788; bugfix on 0.1.1.23.
-
- o Minor bugfixes (testing):
- Improve the tinytest implementation of string operation tests
so that comparisons NULL strings no longer crash the tests;
they now just fail, normally. Fixes bug 9004; bugfix on
0.2.2.4-alpha.
-

- Fix a comment about the rend_server_descriptor_t.protocols field
