     Priority:  Medium       |  Milestone:  Tor: 0.2.8.x-final
    Component:  Tor          |    Version:
     Severity:  Normal       |   Keywords:  ipv6

       Points:               |    Sponsor:
-----------------------------+--------------------------------
 I've made some fixes to IPv6 address handling:
 * make address policy assume_action work for []-quoted IPv6 addresses
   * unquoted addresses are ambiguous, because of the port separator ":",
 and "accept" starting with 4 hex digits
 * limit IPv6 mask bits to 128
 * warn when comparing against an AF_UNSPEC address in a policy
  * no code wants this to happen, and it produces unexpected results

 Branch coming soon.
