tor/changes/disable_network

  o Minor features:

    - New "DisableNetwork" option to prevent Tor from launching any
      connections or accepting any connections except on a control
      port. Some bundles and controllers want to use this so they can
      configure Tor before letting Tor talk to the rest of the
      network--for example, to prevent any connections from being made
      to a non-bridge address.
New 'DisableNetwork' option to prevent Tor from using the network Some controllers want this so they can mess with Tor's configuration for a while via the control port before actually letting Tor out of the house. We do this with a new DisableNetwork option, that prevents Tor from making any outbound connections or binding any non-control listeners. Additionally, it shuts down the same functionality as shuts down when we are hibernating, plus the code that launches directory downloads. To make sure I didn't miss anything, I added a clause straight to connection_connect, so that we won't even try to open an outbound socket when the network is disabled. In my testing, I made this an assert, but since I probably missed something, I've turned it into a BUG warning for testing. 2011-11-28 21:44:10 +01:00			`o Minor features:`
