Changes in version 0.3.4.8 - 2018-09-10
Tor 0.3.4.8 is the first stable release in its series; it includes
several compilation and portability fixes.

The Tor 0.3.4 series includes improvements for running Tor in
low-power and embedded environments, which should help performance in
general. We've begun work on better modularity, and included preliminary
changes on the directory authority side to accommodate a new bandwidth

Tor's testing infrastructure. Finally, we've continued to refine
our anti-denial-of-service code.
Below are the changes since 0.3.3.5-rc. For a list of only the changes
since 0.3.4.7-rc, see the ChangeLog
o Directory authority changes:
- The "Bifroest" bridge authority has been retired; the new bridge
authority is "Serge", and it is operated by George from the
TorBSD project. Closes ticket 26771.
- Add an IPv6 address for the "dannenberg" directory authority.
Closes ticket 26343.

uninitialised buffer. They now log a warning about the empty file
instead. Fixes bug 26007; bugfix on 0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (security, directory authority, denial-of-service, also in 0.3.3.6):
- Fix a bug that could have allowed an attacker to force a directory
authority to use up all its RAM by passing it a maliciously
crafted protocol versions string. Fixes bug 25517; bugfix on
0.2.9.4-alpha. This issue is also tracked as TROVE-2018-005.
o Major bugfixes (crash):
- Avoid a rare assertion failure in the circuit build timeout code
if we fail to allow any circuits to actually complete. Fixes bug
25733; bugfix on 0.2.2.2-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (directory authority):
- Stop leaking memory on directory authorities when planning to
vote. This bug was crashing authorities by exhausting their
memory. Fixes bug 26435; bugfix on 0.3.3.6.
- Avoid a crash when testing router reachability on a router that
could have an ed25519 ID, but which does not. Fixes bug 25415;

o Major bugfixes (rust, testing):
- Make sure that failing tests in Rust will actually cause the build
to fail: previously, they were ignored. Fixes bug 26258; bugfix

o Minor features (accounting):
- When Tor becomes dormant, it now uses a scheduled event to wake up
at the right time. Previously, we would use the per-second timer

- When building Tor, prefer to use Python 3 over Python 2, and more
recent (contemplated) versions over older ones. Closes
ticket 26372.
- When compiling with --enable-openbsd-malloc or --enable-tcmalloc,
tell the compiler not to include the system malloc implementation.

handshake. Closes ticket 25150.
o Minor features (relay, diagnostic):
- Add several checks to detect whether Tor relays are uploading
their descriptors without specifying why they regenerated them.
Diagnostic for ticket 25686.
o Minor features (Rust, portability):
- Rust cross-compilation is now supported. Closes ticket 25895.

Coverity; this is CID 1433643.
o Minor bugfixes (circuit path selection):
- Don't count path selection failures as circuit build failures.
This change should eliminate cases where Tor blames its guard or
the network for situations like insufficient microdescriptors
and/or overly restrictive torrc settings. Fixes bug 25705; bugfix
on 0.3.3.1-alpha.

- Don't consider Tor running as a client if the ControlPort is open,
but no actual client ports are open. Fixes bug 26062; bugfix

- Remove the unused variable n_possible from the function

o Minor bugfixes (compatibility, openssl):
- Work around a change in OpenSSL 1.1.1 where return values that
would previously indicate "no password" now indicate an empty
password. Without this workaround, Tor instances running with
OpenSSL 1.1.1 would accept descriptors that other Tor instances
would reject. Fixes bug 26116; bugfix on 0.2.5.16.

o Minor bugfixes (in-process restart):
- Always call tor_free_all() when leaving tor_run_main(). When we
did not, restarting tor in-process would cause an assertion
failure. Fixes bug 26948; bugfix on 0.3.3.1-alpha.
- When shutting down, Tor now clears all the flags in the control.c

because it had _some_ descriptor, but reject it later with a

wanted. Fixes bugs 25691 and 25692; bugfix on 0.3.3.4-alpha.
