Changes in version 0.4.0.1-alpha - 2019-01-18
|
||||
blurb blurb blurb
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (battery management, client, dormant mode):
|
||||
- When Tor is running as a client, and it is unused for a long time,
|
||||
it can now enter a "dormant" state. When Tor is dormant, it avoids
|
||||
network activity and CPU wakeups until it is reawoken either by a
|
||||
user request or by a controller command. For more information, see
|
||||
the configuration options starting with "Dormant". Implements
|
||||
tickets 2149 and 28335.
|
||||
- The client's memory of whether it is "dormant", and how long it
|
||||
has spend idle, persists across invocations. Implements
|
||||
ticket 28624.
|
||||
- There is a DormantOnFirstStartup option that integrators can use
|
||||
if they expect that in many cases, Tor will be installed but
|
||||
not used.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (bootstrap):
|
||||
- Report the first connection to a relay as the earliest phases of
|
||||
bootstrap progress, regardless of whether it's a connection for
|
||||
building application circuits. This allows finer-grained reporting
|
||||
of early progress than previously possible with the improvements
|
||||
of ticket 27169. Closes tickets 27167 and 27103. Addresses
|
||||
ticket 27308.
|
||||
- Separately report the intermediate stage of having connected to a
|
||||
proxy or pluggable transport, versus succesfully using that proxy
|
||||
or pluggable transport to connect to a relay. Closes tickets 27100
|
||||
and 28884.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (circuit padding):
|
||||
- Implement preliminary support for the circuit padding portion of
|
||||
Proposal 254. The implementation supports Adaptive Padding (aka
|
||||
WTF-PAD) state machines for use between experimental clients and
|
||||
relays. Support is also provided for APE-style state machines that
|
||||
use probability distributions instead of histograms to specify
|
||||
inter-packet delay. At the moment, Tor does not provide any
|
||||
padding state machines that are used in normal operation -- this
|
||||
feature exists solely for experimentation in this release. Closes
|
||||
ticket 28142.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (refactoring):
|
||||
- Tor now uses an explicit list of its own subsystems when
|
||||
initializing and shutting down. Previously, these systems were
|
||||
managed implicitly though various places throughout the codebase.
|
||||
(There still some subsystems using the old system.) Closes
|
||||
ticket 28330.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor feature (bootstrap):
|
||||
- When reporting bootstrap progress, stop distinguishing between
|
||||
situations where it seems that only internal paths are available
|
||||
and situations where it seems that external paths are available.
|
||||
Previously, tor would often erroneously report that it had only
|
||||
internal paths. Closes ticket 27402.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (Continuous Integration):
|
||||
- Log Python version during each Travis CI job. Resolves
|
||||
issue 28551.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (controller):
|
||||
- Add a DROPOWNERSHIP command to undo the effects of TAKEOWNERSHIP.
|
||||
Implements ticket 28843.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (developer tooling):
|
||||
- Provide a git hook script to prevent "fixup!" and "squash!"
|
||||
commits from ending up in master. Closes ticket 27993.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authority):
|
||||
- Directory authorities support a new consensus algorithm, under
|
||||
which microdescriptor entries are encoded in a canonical form.
|
||||
This improves their compressibility in transit and on the client.
|
||||
Closes ticket 28266; implements proposal 298.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (directory authority, relay):
|
||||
- Authorities now vote on a "StaleDesc" flag to indicate that a
|
||||
relay's descriptor is so old that the relay should upload again
|
||||
soon. Relays understand this flag, and treat it as a signal to
|
||||
upload a new descriptor. This flag will eventually let us remove
|
||||
the 'published' date from routerstatus entries, and save a great
|
||||
deal of space in our consensus diffs. Closes ticket 26770;
|
||||
implements proposal 293.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (fallback directory mirrors):
|
||||
- Update the fallback whitelist based on operator opt-ins and opt-
|
||||
outs. Closes ticket 24805, patch by Phoul.
|
||||
- Accept fallbacks that deliver reasonably live consensuses.
|
||||
(Consensuses that will become valid less than 24 hours in the
|
||||
future, or that expired less than 24 hours ago.) Closes
|
||||
ticket 28768.
|
||||
- Accept relays that are a fuzzy match to a fallback whitelist
|
||||
entry. If a relay matches at least one fingerprint, IPv4 address,
|
||||
or IPv6 address in the fallback whitelist, it can become a
|
||||
fallback. This reduces the work required to keep the list up to
|
||||
date. Closes ticket 24838.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (FreeBSD):
|
||||
- Warn relay operators if the "net.inet.ip.random_id" sysctl (IP ID
|
||||
randomization) is disabled on their relay if it is running on
|
||||
FreeBSD based operating systems. Closes ticket 28518.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (HTTP standards compliance):
|
||||
- Don't send Content-Type: application/octet-stream for transparently
|
||||
compressed documents, which confused browsers. Closes ticket 28100.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (ipv6):
|
||||
- We add an option ClientAutoIPv6ORPort which makes clients randomly
|
||||
prefer a node's IPv4 or IPv6 ORPort. The random preference is set
|
||||
every time a node is loaded from a new consensus or bridge config.
|
||||
Closes ticket 27490. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
|
||||
- When using addrs_in_same_network_family(), check IPv6 subnets as
|
||||
well as IPv4 ones where possible when a client chooses circuit
|
||||
paths. Previously, we used this function only for IPv4 subnets.
|
||||
Closes ticket 24393. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (log messages):
|
||||
- Improve log message in HSv3 service that could print out negative
|
||||
revision counters. Closes ticket 27707. Patch by "ffmancera".
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (memory usage):
|
||||
- Store microdescriptor family lists with a more compact
|
||||
representation to save memory. Closes ticket 27359.
|
||||
- Tor clients no longer need to keep the full text of a consensus in
|
||||
memory in order to parse it, or apply a diff to it. Instead, they
|
||||
use mmap() to read the consensus files from disk. Closes
|
||||
ticket 27244.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (parsing):
|
||||
- Directory authorities now validate that router descriptors and
|
||||
ExtraInfo documents are in a valid subset of UTF-8, and reject
|
||||
them if not. Closes ticket 27367.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (performance):
|
||||
- Avoid parsing the same protocol-versions string over and over in
|
||||
summarize_protover_flags(). This should save us a huge number of
|
||||
malloc calls on startup, and may reduce memory fragmentation with
|
||||
some allocators. Closes ticket 27225.
|
||||
- Remove a needless memset() call from get_token_arguments, thereby
|
||||
speeding up the tokenization of directory objects by about 20%.
|
||||
Closes ticket 28852.
|
||||
- Replace parse_short_policy() with a faster implementation, to
|
||||
improve microdescriptor parsing time. Closes ticket 28853.
|
||||
- Speed up directory parsing a little by avoiding use of the non-
|
||||
inlined strcmp_len() function. Closes ticket 28856.
|
||||
- Speed up microdesriptor parsing by about 30%, to help improve
|
||||
startup time. Closes ticket 28839.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (pluggable transports):
|
||||
- Add support for emitting STATUS updates to Tor's control port from
|
||||
a pluggable transport process. Closes ticket 28846.
|
||||
- Add support for logging to Tor's logging subsystem from a
|
||||
pluggable transport process. Closes ticket 28180
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (process management):
|
||||
- Add new Process API for handling child processes. This new API
|
||||
allows Tor to have bi-directional communication with child
|
||||
processes on both Unix and Windows. Closes ticket 28179.
|
||||
- Use the subsystem module to initialize and shut down the process
|
||||
module. Closes ticket 28847.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (relay):
|
||||
- When listing relay families, list them in canonical form including
|
||||
the relay's own identity, and try to give a more useful set of
|
||||
warnings. Part of ticket 28266 and proposal 298.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (required protocols):
|
||||
- Tor no longer exits if it is missing a required protocol, if the
|
||||
consensus that requires the protocol predates the release date of
|
||||
the version of Tor. This change prevents Tor releases from exiting
|
||||
because of an old cached consensus, on the theory that a newer
|
||||
cached consensus might not require the protocol. Implements
|
||||
proposal 297; closes ticket 27735.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (testing):
|
||||
- Allow HeartbeatPeriod of less than 30 minutes in testing Tor
|
||||
networks. Closes ticket 28840, patch by robgjansen
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (client, bootstrap):
|
||||
- When Tor's clock is behind the clocks on the authorities, allow
|
||||
Tor to bootstrap successfully. Fixes bug 28591; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (client, guard selection):
|
||||
- When Tor's consensus has expired, but is still reasonably live,
|
||||
use it to select guards. Fixes bug 24661; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
|
||||
- Fix missing headers required for proper detection of OpenBSD. Fixes
|
||||
bug 28938; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from Kris Katterjohn.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (directory clients):
|
||||
- Mark outdated dirservers when Tor only has a reasonably live
|
||||
consensus. Fixes bug 28569; bugfix on 0.3.2.5-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (directory mirror):
|
||||
- When Tor's clock is behind the clocks on the authorities, allow
|
||||
Tor to serve future consensuses. Fixes bug 28654; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (DNS):
|
||||
- Gracefully handle empty or absent resolve.conf file by falling
|
||||
back to using localhost DNS service and hoping it works. Fixes bug
|
||||
21900; bugfix on 0.2.1.10-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (fallback scripts):
|
||||
- In updateFallbackDirs.py, call the filter file a "fallback list"
|
||||
instead of a "whitelist" in check_existing mode. Fixes bug 24953;
|
||||
bugfix on 0.3.0.3-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (guards):
|
||||
- In count_acceptable_nodes(), check if we have at least one bridge
|
||||
or guard node, and two non-guard nodes for a circuit. Previously,
|
||||
we have added up the sum of all nodes with a descriptor, but that
|
||||
could cause us to build circuits that fail if we had either too
|
||||
many bridges, or not enough guard nodes. Fixes bug 25885; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.3.6.1-alpha. Patch by Neel Chauhan.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (IPv6):
|
||||
- Fix tor_ersatz_socketpair on IPv6-only systems. Previously, the
|
||||
IPv6 socket was bound using an address family of AF_INET instead
|
||||
of AF_INET6. Fixes bug 28995; bugfix on 0.3.5.1-alpha. Patch from
|
||||
Kris Katterjohn.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
|
||||
- Rework rep_hist_log_link_protocol_counts() to iterate through all
|
||||
link protocol versions when logging incoming/outgoing connection
|
||||
counts. Tor no longer skips version 5 and we don't have to
|
||||
remember to update this function when new link protocol version is
|
||||
developed. Fixes bug 28920; bugfix on 0.2.6.10.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (networking):
|
||||
- Introduce additional checks into tor_addr_parse() to reject
|
||||
certain incorrect inputs that previously were not detected. Fixes
|
||||
bug 23082; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (onion service v3, client):
|
||||
- Avoid a BUG() stacktrace in case a SOCKS connection is found
|
||||
waiting for the descriptor while we do have it in the cache. There
|
||||
is a rare case when this can happen. Now, tor will recover and
|
||||
retry the descriptor. Fixes bug 28669; bugfix on 0.3.2.4-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (periodic events):
|
||||
- Refrain from calling routerlist_remove_old_routers() from
|
||||
check_descriptor_callback(). Instead, create a new periodic event
|
||||
that will run once every hour even if Tor is not configured as
|
||||
onion router. Fixes bug 27929; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (pluggable transports):
|
||||
- Make sure that data is continously read from standard out and
|
||||
error of the PT child-process to avoid deadlocking when the pipes'
|
||||
buffer is full. Fixes bug 26360; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (unit tests):
|
||||
- Instead of relying on hs_free_all() to clean up all onion service
|
||||
objects we created in test_build_descriptors(), deallocate them
|
||||
one by one. This lets Coverity know that we are not leaking memory
|
||||
here and fixes CID 1442277. Fixes bug 28989; bugfix
|
||||
on 0.3.5.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor bugfixes (usability):
|
||||
- Stop saying "Your Guard ..." in pathbias_measure_{use,close}_rate()
|
||||
as that confusingly suggests that mentioned guard node is under
|
||||
control and responsibility of end user, which it is not. Fixes bug
|
||||
28895; bugfix on Tor 0.3.0.1-alpha.
|
||||
|
||||
o Code simplification and refactoring:
|
||||
- Reimplement NETINFO cell parsing and generation to rely on
|
||||
trunnel-generated wire format handling code. Closes ticket 27325.
|
||||
- Remove unnecessarily unsafe code from the rust macro cstr!. Closes
|
||||
ticket 28077.
|
||||
- Rework SOCKS wire format handling to rely on trunnel-generated
|
||||
parsing/generation code. Resolves ticket 27620.
|
||||
- Split out bootstrap progress reporting from control.c into a
|
||||
separate file. Part of ticket 27402.
|
||||
- The .may_include files that we use to describe our directory-by-
|
||||
directory dependency structure now describe a noncircular
|
||||
dependency graph over the directories that they cover. Our
|
||||
checkIncludes.py tool now enforces this. Closes ticket 28362.
|
||||
|
||||
o Documentation:
|
||||
- Mention that you cannot add new Onion Service if Tor is already
|
||||
running with Sandbox enabled. Closes ticket 28560.
|
||||
- Improve ControlPort description in tor manpage to mention that it
|
||||
accepts address/port pair, and can be used multiple times. Closes
|
||||
ticket 28805.
|
||||
- Document the exact output of "tor --version". Closes ticket 28889.
|
||||
|
||||
o Removed features:
|
||||
- Stop responding to 'GETINFO status/version/num-concurring' and
|
||||
'GETINFO status/version/num-versioning' control port commands, as
|
||||
those were deprecated back in 0.2.0.30. Also stop listing them in
|
||||
output of 'GETINFO info/names'. Resolves ticket 28757.
|
||||
- The scripts used to generate and maintain the list of fallback
|
||||
directories have been extracted into a new "fallback-scripts"
|
||||
repository. Closes ticket 27914.
|
||||
|
||||
o Testing:
|
||||
- Run shellcheck for stuff in scripts/ directory. Closes
|
||||
ticket 28058.
|
||||
- Write some unit tests for tokenize_string() and get_next_token()
|
||||
functions. Resolves ticket 27625.
|
||||
|
||||
o Code simplification and refactoring (onion service v3):
|
||||
- Consolidate the authorized client descriptor cookie computation
|
||||
code from client and service into one function. Closes
|
||||
ticket 27549.
|
||||
|
||||
o Code simplification and refactoring (shell scripts):
|
||||
- Cleanup scan-build.sh to silence shellcheck warnings. Closes
|
||||
ticket 28007.
|
||||
- Fix issues that shellcheck found in chutney-git-bisect.sh.
|
||||
Resolves ticket 28006.
|
||||
- Fix issues that shellcheck found in updateRustDependencies.sh.
|
||||
Resolves ticket 28012.
|
||||
- Fix shellcheck warnings in cov-diff script. Resolves issue 28009.
|
||||
- Fix shellcheck warnings in run_calltool.sh. Resolves ticket 28011.
|
||||
- Fix shellcheck warnings in run_trunnel.sh. Resolves issue 28010.
|
||||
- Fix shellcheck warnings in scripts/test/coverage. Resolves
|
||||
issue 28008.
