hop. Closes ticket 13837.
|

- The majority ot the channel unit tests have been rewritten and the
|
|
||||||
code coverage has now been raised to 83.6% for channel.c. Closes
|
|

ticket 23709.
|
|
||||||
- We've simplify a lot the channel subsystem by removing those
|
|
||||||
queues but also by removing a lot of unused code or dead code
|
|
||||||
around it. Overall this is a cleanup removing more than 1500 lines
|
|
||||||
of code overall and adding very little except for unit test.

o Minor features (relay):
|
|

- Implement an option, ReducedExitPolicy, to allow an Tor exit relay
|
|

operator to use a more reasonable ("reduced") exit policy, rather than
|
|
||||||
the default one. If you want to run an exit node without thinking too
|
|

hard about which ports to allow, this one is for you. Closes ticket

o Minor features (embedding):
|
|
||||||
- Tor can now start with a preauthenticated control connection
|
|
||||||
created by the process that launched it. This feature is meant for
|
|
||||||
use by programs that want to launch and manage a Tor process
|
|
||||||
without allowing other programs to manage it as well. For more
|
|
||||||
information, see the __OwningControllerFD option documented in
|
|
||||||
control-spec.txt. Closes ticket 23900.
|
|
||||||
- On most errors that would cause Tor to exit, it now tries to
|
|
||||||
return from the tor_main() function, rather than calling the
|
|
||||||
system exit() function. Most users won't notice a difference here,
|
|
||||||
but it should make a significant difference on platforms that try
|
|
||||||
to run Tor inside a separate thread: they should now be able to
|
|
||||||
survive Tor's exit conditions rather than having Tor shut down the
|
|
||||||
entire process. Closes ticket 23848.
|
|
||||||
- Applications that want to embed Tor can now tell Tor not to
|
|
||||||
register any of its own POSIX signal handlers, using the
|
|
||||||
__DisableSignalHandlers option. This option is not meant for
|
|
||||||
general use. Closes ticket 24588.
