Tor 0.3.0.2-alpha improves how exit relays and clients handle DNS
time-to-live values, makes directory authorities enforce the 1-to-1
mapping of relay RSA identity keys to ED25519 identity keys, fixes a
client-side onion service reachability bug, does better at selecting
the set of fallback directories, and more.
o Major features (security):
- Change the algorithm used to decide DNS TTLs on client and server
side, to better resist DNS-based correlation attacks like the
DefecTor attack of Greschbach, Pulls, Roberts, Winter, and
Feamster). Now relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL
Feamster. Now relays only return one of two possible DNS TTL
values, and clients are willing to believe DNS TTL values up to 3
hours long. Closes ticket 19769.
o Major features (directory authority, security):
- The default for AuthDirPinKeys is now 1: directory authorities
will reject relays where the RSA identity key matches a previously
seen value, but the Ed25519 key has changed. Closes ticket 18319.
o Major bugfixes (client, guard, crash):
- In circuit_get_global_origin_list(), return the actual list of
origin circuits. The previous version of this code returned the

- Fix a client-side onion service reachability bug, where multiple
socks requests to an onion service (or a single slow request) could
cause us to mistakenly mark some of the service's introduction
points as failed, and we cache that failure so eventually we
run out and can't reach the service. Also resolves a mysterious
"Remote server sent bogus reason code 65021" log warning. The bug
was introduced in task 17218, where we tried to remember the circuit
points as failed, and we cache that failure so eventually we run
out and can't reach the service. Also resolves a mysterious "Remote
server sent bogus reason code 65021" log warning. The bug was
introduced in ticket 17218, where we tried to remember the circuit
end reason as a uint16_t, which mangled negative values. Partially
fixes bug 21056 and fixes bug 20307; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha.

- Fix a bug that prevented exit nodes from caching DNS records for
more than 60 seconds. Fixes bug 19025; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor features (directory authority, security):
- The default for AuthDirPinKeys is now 1: directory authorities
will reject relays where the RSA identity key matches a previously
seen value, but the Ed25519 key has changed. Closes ticket 18319.
o Minor features (controller):
- Add GETINFO sr/current and sr/previous keys, to expose shared-
random values to the controller. Closes ticket 19925.
- Add "GETINFO sr/current" and "GETINFO sr/previous" keys, to
expose shared-random values to the controller. Closes ticket 19925.
o Minor features (entry guards):
- Add UseEntryGuards to TEST_OPTIONS_DEFAULT_VALUES in order to not
break regresson tests.
- Require UseEntryGuards when UseBridges is set in order to make
break regression tests.
- Require UseEntryGuards when UseBridges is set, in order to make
sure bridges aren't bypassed. Resolves ticket 20502.
o Minor features (fallback directories):
- Allow 3 fallbacks per operator. (This is safe now we are choosing
200 fallbacks.) Closes ticket 20912.
- Display the fingerprint when downloading consensuses from
fallbacks. Closes ticket 20908.
- Exclude relays affected by 20499 from the fallback list. Exclude
known affected versions, and any relay that delivers a stale
consensus, as long as that consensus expired more than 24 hours
ago. Closes ticket 20539.
- Make it easier to change the output sort order of fallbacks.
Closes ticket 20822.
- Provide bandwidth and consensus weight for each candidate fallback
in updateFallbackDirs.py. Closes ticket 20878.
- Select 200 fallback directories for each release. Closes
ticket 20881.
- Allow 3 fallback relays per operator, which is safe now that we are
choosing 200 fallback relays. Closes ticket 20912.
- Exclude relays affected by bug 20499 from the fallback list. Exclude
relays from the fallback list if they are running versions known to
be affected by bug 20499, or if in our tests they deliver a stale
consensus (i.e. one that expired more than 24 hours ago). Closes
ticket 20539.
- Reduce the minimum fallback bandwidth to 1 MByte/s. Part of
ticket 18828.
- Require fallback directories to have the same address and port for
7 dayss. (Due to the number of relays with enough stability.)

o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the January 4 2017 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (hidden service directories):
- Relays are now willing act as v3 hidden service directories,
regardless of the EnableOnionServicvesV3 parameter. Implements
ticket 19899.
o Minor features (next-gen onion service directories):
- Remove the "EnableOnionServicesV3" consensus parameter that we
introduced in 0.3.0.1-alpha: relays are now always willing to act
as v3 onion service directories. Resolves ticket 19899.
o Minor features (linting):

prefixed with 'tor-'. Closes ticket 21096.

protocol now spells the type "Dependent" correctly. This is a

by the most common known clients.) Fixes bug 18146; bugfix

- When IPv6 addresses have not been downloaded, use hard-coded
address info for authorities, fallbacks, and configured bridges.
(When IPv6-only clients receive a microdesc consensus, it has no
IPv6 addresses, so they can't use it until microdescs are
downloaded.) This allows IPv6-only clients to use microdescriptors.
