Changes in version 0.2.8.3-alpha - 2016-05-2?
Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha resolves several bugs, most of them introduced over
the course of the 0.2.8 development cycle. It improves the behavior of
directory clients, fixes several crash bugs, fixes a gap in compiler

by "teor".
o Major bugfixes (key management):
- If OpenSSL fails to generate an RSA key, do not retain a dangling
pointer to the previous (uninitialized) key value. The impact here
should be limited to a difficult-to-trigger crash, if OpenSSL is
running an engine that makes key generation failures possible, or
if OpenSSL runs out of memory. Fixes bug 19152; bugfix on
0.2.1.10-alpha. Found by Yuan Jochen Kang, Suman Jana, and
Baishakhi Ray.
o Major bugfixes (testing):
- Fix a bug that would block 'make test-network-all' on systems where
IPv6 packets were lost. Fixes bug 19008; bugfix on tor-0.2.7.3-rc.

- Resolve warnings when building on systems that are concerned with
signed char. Fixes bug 18728; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha
and 0.2.6.1-alpha.
- When libscrypt.h is found, but no libscrypt library can be linked,
treat libscrypt as absent. Fixes bug 19161; bugfix
on 0.2.6.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (client):
- Turn all TestingClientBootstrap* into non-testing torrc options.

Fixes bug 18686; bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (pointer arithmetic):
- Fix a bug in memarea_alloc() that could have resulted in remote
heap write access, if Tor had ever passed an unchecked size to
memarea_alloc(). Fortunately, all the sizes we pass to
memarea_alloc() are pre-checked to be less than 128 kilobytes.
Fixes bug 19150; bugfix on 0.2.1.1-alpha. Bug found by
Guido Vranken.
o Minor bugfixes (relays):
- Consider more config options when relays decide whether to
regenerate their descriptor. Fixes more of bug 12538; bugfix
