o Minor features
- Slightly change behavior of "list" options (that is, options that
can appear more than once) when they appear both in torrc and on
the command line. Previously, the command-line options would be
appended to the ones from torrc. Now, the command-line options
override the torrc options entirely. This new behavior allows
the user to override list options (like exit policies and
ports to listen on) from the command line, rather than simply
appending to the list.
- You can get the old (appending) command-line behavior for "list"
"list" options, by prefixing the option name with a "+".
- You can remove all the values for a "list" option from the command
line without adding any new ones by prefixing the option name
with a "/".
- Add *experimental* support for a "defaults" torrc file to be parsed
before the regular torrc. Torrc options override the defaults file's
options in the same way that the command line overrides the torrc.
The SAVECONF controller command saves only those options which differ
between the current configuration and the defaults file. HUP reloads
both files. (Note: This is an experimental feature; its behavior will
probably be refined in future 0.2.3.x-alpha versions to better meet
packagers' needs.)
o Minor bugfixes:
- Restore behavior of overriding SocksPort, ORPort, and similar
options from the command line. Bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha.
