Changes in version 0.1.2.17 - 2007-08-30
|
||||||
|
o Major bugfixes (security):
|
||||||
|
- We removed support for the old (v0) control protocol. It has been
|
||||||
|
deprecated since Tor 0.1.1.1-alpha, and keeping it secure has
|
||||||
|
become more of a headache than it's worth.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o Major bugfixes (load balancing):
|
||||||
|
- When choosing nodes for non-guard positions, weight guards
|
||||||
|
proportionally less, since they already have enough load. Patch
|
||||||
|
from Mike Perry.
|
||||||
|
- Raise the "max believable bandwidth" from 1.5MB/s to 10MB/s. This
|
||||||
|
will allow fast Tor servers to get more attention.
|
||||||
|
- When we're upgrading from an old Tor version, forget our current
|
||||||
|
guards and pick new ones according to the new weightings. These
|
||||||
|
three load balancing patches could raise effective network capacity
|
||||||
|
by a factor of four. Thanks to Mike Perry for measurements.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o Major bugfixes (stream expiration):
|
||||||
|
- Expire not-yet-successful application streams in all cases if
|
||||||
|
they've been around longer than SocksTimeout. Right now there are
|
||||||
|
some cases where the stream will live forever, demanding a new
|
||||||
|
circuit every 15 seconds. Fixes bug 454; reported by lodger.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o Minor features (controller):
|
||||||
|
- Add a PROTOCOLINFO controller command. Like AUTHENTICATE, it
|
||||||
|
is valid before any authentication has been received. It tells
|
||||||
|
a controller what kind of authentication is expected, and what
|
||||||
|
protocol is spoken. Implements proposal 119.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o Minor bugfixes (performance):
|
||||||
|
- Save on most routerlist_assert_ok() calls in routerlist.c, thus
|
||||||
|
greatly speeding up loading cached-routers from disk on startup.
|
||||||
|
- Disable sentinel-based debugging for buffer code: we squashed all
|
||||||
|
the bugs that this was supposed to detect a long time ago, and now
|
||||||
|
its only effect is to change our buffer sizes from nice powers of
|
||||||
|
two (which platform mallocs tend to like) to values slightly over
|
||||||
|
powers of two (which make some platform mallocs sad).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
o Minor bugfixes (misc):
|
||||||
|
- If exit bandwidth ever exceeds one third of total bandwidth, then
|
||||||
|
use the correct formula to weight exit nodes when choosing paths.
|
||||||
|
Based on patch from Mike Perry.
|
||||||
|
- Choose perfectly fairly among routers when choosing by bandwidth and
|
||||||
|
weighting by fraction of bandwidth provided by exits. Previously, we
|
||||||
|
would choose with only approximate fairness, and correct ourselves
|
||||||
|
if we ran off the end of the list.
|
||||||
|
- If we require CookieAuthentication but we fail to write the
|
||||||
|
cookie file, we would warn but not exit, and end up in a state
|
||||||
|
where no controller could authenticate. Now we exit.
|
||||||
|
- If we require CookieAuthentication, stop generating a new cookie
|
||||||
|
every time we change any piece of our config.
|
||||||
|
- Refuse to start with certain directory authority keys, and
|
||||||
|
encourage people using them to stop.
|
||||||
|
- Terminate multi-line control events properly. Original patch
|
||||||
|
from tup.
|
||||||
|
- Fix a minor memory leak when we fail to find enough suitable
|
||||||
|
servers to choose a circuit.
|
||||||
|
- Stop leaking part of the descriptor when we run into a particularly
|
||||||
|
unparseable piece of it.
