Changes in version 0.1.1.6-alpha - 2005-08-22
o Fixes on 0.1.1.5-alpha:
- We broke fascistfirewall in 0.1.1.5-alpha. Oops.
- Fix segfault in unit tests in 0.1.1.5-alpha. Oops.
- Resolve some solaris x86 compile warnings.
o New controller features/fixes:
- Add a "GETINFO config-file" to tell us where torrc is.
- Avoid sending blank lines when GETINFO replies should be empty.
- Add a QUIT command for the controller.
o New features:
- Implement exit enclaves: if we know an IP address for the
destination, and there's a running Tor server at that address
which allows exit to the destination, then extend the circuit to
that exit first. This provides end-to-end encryption and end-to-end
authentication. Also, if the user asks for a .exit node, cannibalize
a general circ for it so it's faster.
- Permit transitioning from ORPort=0 to ORPort!=0, and back, from the
controller. Also, rotate dns and cpu workers if the controller
changes options that will affect them; and initialize the dns
worker cache tree whether or not we start out as a server.
- Start using new rendezvous descriptor code, allowing us to specify
introduction points by key and location rather than nickname.
o Config option changes:
- Replace (Fascist)Firewall* config options with a new
ReachableAddresses option that understands address policies.
For example, "ReachableAddresses *:80,*:443"
- Get rid of IgnoreVersion undocumented config option, and make us
only warn, never exit, when we're running an obsolete version.
- Make MonthlyAccountingStart config option truly obsolete now.
o Fixes on 0.1.0.x:
- We weren't cannibalizing circuits correctly for
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_C_ESTABLISH_REND and
CIRCUIT_PURPOSE_S_ESTABLISH_INTRO, so we were being forced to
build those from scratch. This should make hidden services faster.
- Predict required circuits better, with an eye toward making hidden
services faster on the service end.
- Retry streams if the exit node sends back a 'misc' failure. This
should result in fewer random failures. Also, after failing
from resolve failed or misc, reset the num failures, so we give
it a fair shake next time we try.
- Require server descriptors to list IPv4 addresses -- hostnames
are no longer allowed. This also fixes some potential security
problems with people providing hostnames as their address and then
preferentially resolving them to partition users.
