Changes in version 0.3.3.1-alpha - 2018-01-??:

Blurb goes here
|

|

o Major features (onion services, security):
|
||||
- Provide torrc options to pin the second and third hops of onion
|
||||
service circuits to a list of nodes. The option HSLayer2Guards
|

pins the second hop, and the option HSLayer3Guards pins the third
|

hop. Closes ticket 13837.

- Tor now has support for restarting in the same process.
|
||||
Controllers that run Tor using the "tor_api.h" interface can now
|
||||
restart Tor after Tor has exited. This support is incomplete,
|
||||
however: we have fixed the crash bugs that prevented it from
|
||||
working at all before, but many bugs probably remain, including
|

the possibility of security issues. Implements ticket 24581.

o Major features (IPv6, directory documents):
|
||||
- Add consensus method 27, which adds IPv6 ORPorts to the microdesc
|

consensus. This makes it easier for IPv6 clients to bootstrap and

choose reachable entry guards. Implements 23826.

|
||||
- Add consensus method 28, which removes IPv6 ORPorts from
|

microdescriptors. Now that there are IPv6 ORPorts in the microdesc
|
||||
consensus, they are redundant in microdescs. This change is

compatible with tor clients on 0.2.8.x and later. (That is to say,

with all Tor clients having IPv6 bootstrap and guard support.)

- Expand the documentation for AuthDirHasIPv6Connectivity when it is
|

set by different numbers of authorities. Fixes 23870

on 0.2.4.1-alpha.
|
||||
|

o Major features (onion service v3, control port):
|
||||
- Control port now supports command and events for v3 onion
|
||||
services. See proposal 284 for more information on what has been
|
||||
done exactly. Only the HSFETCH command hasn't been implemented at
|
||||
this stage because of a lack of use case with v3.
|
||||
- The control port now supports command and events for v3 onion
|
||||
services: It is now possible to create ephemeral v3 services using
|
||||
ADD_ONION. Additionally, several events (HS_DESC, HS_DESC_CONTENT,
|

CIRC and CIRC_MINOR) and commands (GETINFO, HSPOST, ADD_ONION and
|

DEL_ONION) have been extended to support v3 onion services. Closes

- Users can choose to store cached directory documents somewhere
|
