Changes in version 0.2.6.1-alpha - 2014-??-??
Changes in version 0.2.5.8-rc - 2014-09-22
Tor 0.2.5.8-rc is the second release candidate for the Tor 0.2.5.x
series. It fixes a bug that affects consistency and speed when
connecting to hidden services, and it updates the location of one of
the directory authorities.
o Major bugfixes:
- Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous
point when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send
the wrong address, which would still work some of the time because
they also sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if
the hidden service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous
point from a relay that already had a connection open to it,
the relay would reuse that connection. Now connections to hidden
services should be more robust and faster. Also, this bug meant
that clients were leaking to the hidden service whether they were
on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare) system, which for
some users might have reduced their anonymity. Fixes bug 13151;
bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
o Directory authority changes:
- Change IP address for gabelmoo (v3 directory authority).
Changes in version 0.2.4.24 - 2014-09-22
