Changes in version 0.2.9.4-alpha - 2016-10-17
- Foo bar
+ Tor 0.2.9.4-alpha adds numerous small features and fix-ups to previous
+ versions of Tor, including the implementation of a feature to future-
+ proof the Tor ecosystem against protocol changes, some bug fixes
+ necessary for Tor Browser to use unix domain sockets correctly, and
+ several portability improvements. We anticipate that this will be the
+ last alpha in the Tor 0.2.9 series, and that the next release will be
+ a release candidate.
o Major features (subprotocol versions):
- - Tor directory authorities now vote on a set of recommended subprotocol
- versions, and on a set of required subprotocol versions. Clients and
- relays that lack support for a _required_ suprotocol version will not
- start; those that lack support for a _recommended_ subprotocol version
- will warn the user to upgrade. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
- proposal 264.
- - Tor now uses "subprotocol versions" to indicate
- compatibility. Previously, versions of Tor looked at the declared Tor
- version of a relay to tell whether they could use a given feature.
- Now, they should be able to rely on its declared subprotocol versions.
- This change allows compatible implementations of the Tor protocol(s) to
- exist without declaring compatibility with pretending to be particular
- releases of Tor itself. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
- proposal 264.

o Minor features (client, directory):
- - Since authorities now omit all routers that lack the Running and Valid

- have those flags. Closes ticket 20001; implements part of proposal

- o Minor features (unix domain sockets):
- - When configuring a unix domain socket for a SocksPort,
- ControlPort, or Hidden service, you can now wrap the address
- in quotes, using C-style escapes inside the quotes. This
