Tor 0.0.8rc1 is out
We've got most of the new features in now, so it's time for a release
candidate. Please let me know about all those bugs that have been nagging
you. And try out the new features and tell me which ones are broken.
tarball: http://freehaven.net/tor/dist/tor-0.0.8rc1.tar.gz
signature: http://freehaven.net/tor/dist/tor-0.0.8rc1.tar.gz.asc
(use -t tor-0_0_8rc1 if you want to check out from cvs)
Changes from 0.0.7.3:
o Bugfixes:
o Fix assert triggers: if the other side returns an address 0.0.0.0,
don't put it into the client dns cache.
o If a begin failed due to exit policy, but we believe the IP address
should have been allowed, switch that router to exitpolicy reject *:*
until we get our next directory.
o Features:
o Clients choose nodes proportional to advertised bandwidth.
o Avoid using nodes with low uptime as introduction points.
o Handle servers with dynamic IP addresses: don't replace
options->Address with the resolved one at startup, and
detect our address right before we make a routerinfo each time.
o 'FascistFirewall' option to pick dirservers and ORs on specific
ports; plus 'FirewallPorts' config option to tell FascistFirewall
which ports are open. (Defaults to 80,443)
o Be more aggressive about trying to make circuits when the network
has changed (e.g. when you unsuspend your laptop).
o Check for time skew on http headers; report date in response to
"GET /".
o If the entrynode config line has only one node, don't pick it as
an exitnode.
o Add strict{entry|exit}nodes config options. If set to 1, then
we refuse to build circuits that don't include the specified entry
or exit nodes.
o OutboundBindAddress config option, to bind to a specific
IP address for outgoing connect()s.
o End truncated log entries (e.g. directories) with "[truncated]".
Patches to 0.0.8preX:
o Bugfixes:
o Patches to compile and run on win32 again (maybe)?
o Fix crash when looking for ~/.torrc with no $HOME set.
o Fix a race bug in the unit tests.
o Handle verified/unverified name collisions better when new
routerinfo's arrive in a directory.
o Sometimes routers were getting entered into the stats before
we'd assigned their identity_digest. Oops.
o Only pick and establish intro points after we've gotten a
directory.
o Features:
o AllowUnverifiedNodes config option to let circuits choose no-name
routers in entry,middle,exit,introduction,rendezvous positions.
Allow middle and rendezvous positions by default.
o Add a man page for tor-resolve.
