Fixes + bug 9063; bugfix on the 54th commit of Tor. This bug is a further + fix beyond bug 6252, whose fix was merged into 0.2.3.21-rc. + - Prevent the get_freelists() function from running off the end of + the list of freelists if it somehow gets an unrecognized + allocation. Fixes bug 8844; bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Reported by + eugenis. + - Avoid an assertion failure on OpenBSD (and perhaps other BSDs) + when an exit connection with optimistic data succeeds immediately + rather than returning EINPROGRESS. Fixes bug 9017; bugfix on + 0.2.3.1-alpha. + - Fix a directory authority crash bug when building a consensus + using an older consensus as its basis. Fixes bug 8833. Bugfix + on 0.2.4.12-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes: + - Avoid a memory leak where we would leak a consensus body when we + find that a consensus which we couldn't previously verify due to + missing certificates is now verifiable. Fixes bug 8719; bugfix + on 0.2.0.10-alpha. + - We used to always request authority certificates by identity digest, + meaning we'd get the newest one even when we wanted one with a + different signing key. Then we would complain about being given + a certificate we already had, and never get the one we really + wanted. Now we use the "fp-sk/" resource as well as the "fp/" + resource to request the one we want. Fixes bug 5595; bugfix on + 0.2.0.8-alpha. + - Follow the socks5 protocol when offering username/password + authentication. The fix for bug 8117 exposed this bug, and it + turns out real-world applications like Pidgin do care. Bugfix on + 0.2.3.2-alpha; fixes bug 8879. + - Prevent failures on Windows Vista and later when rebuilding the + microdescriptor cache. Diagnosed by Robert Ransom. Fixes bug 8822; + bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes: + - Fix an impossible buffer overrun in the AES unit tests. Fixes + bug 8845; bugfix on 0.2.0.7-alpha. Found by eugenis. + - If for some reason we fail to write a microdescriptor while + rebuilding the cache, do not let the annotations from that + microdescriptor linger in the cache file, and do not let the + microdescriptor stay recorded as present in its old location. + Fixes bug 9047; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha. + - Fix a memory leak that would occur whenever a configuration + option changed. Fixes bug 8718; bugfix on 0.2.3.3-alpha. + - Paste the description for PathBias parameters from the man + page into or.h, so the code documents them too. Fixes bug 7982; + bugfix on 0.2.3.17-beta and 0.2.4.8-alpha. + - Relays now treat a changed IPv6 ORPort as sufficient reason to + publish an updated descriptor. Fixes bug 6026; bugfix on + 0.2.4.1-alpha. + - When launching a resolve request on behalf of an AF_UNIX control + socket, omit the address field of the new entry connection, used in + subsequent controller events, rather than letting tor_dup_addr() + set it to "". Fixes bug 8639; bugfix on + 0.2.4.12-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (log messages): + - Fix a scaling issue in the path bias accounting code that + resulted in "Bug:" log messages from either + pathbias_scale_close_rates() or pathbias_count_build_success(). + This represents a bugfix on a previous bugfix: the original fix + attempted in 0.2.4.10-alpha was incomplete. Fixes bug 8235; bugfix + on 0.2.4.1-alpha. + - Give a less useless error message when the user asks for an IPv4 + address on an IPv6-only port, or vice versa. Fixes bug 8846; bugfix + on 0.2.4.7-alpha. + + o Minor features: + - Downgrade "unexpected SENDME" warnings to protocol-warn for 0.2.4.x, + to tolerate bug 8093 for now. + - Add an "ignoring-advertised-bws" boolean to the flag-threshold lines + in directory authority votes to describe whether they have enough + measured bandwidths to ignore advertised (relay descriptor) + bandwidth claims. Resolves ticket 8711. + - Update to the June 5 2013 Maxmind GeoLite Country database. + + o Removed documentation: + - Remove some of the older contents of doc/ as obsolete; move others + to torspec.git. Fixes bug 8965. + + o Code simplification and refactoring: + - Avoid using character buffers when constructing most directory + objects: this approach was unwieldy and error-prone. Instead, + build smartlists of strings, and concatenate them when done. + + Changes in version 0.2.4.12-alpha - 2013-04-18 Tor 0.2.4.12-alpha moves Tor forward on several fronts: it starts the process for lengthening the guard rotation period, makes directory
