From 6d895645787d5065d611d67ddd0090a09513ad04 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Roger Dingledine Date: Tue, 9 Nov 2004 08:13:03 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] draft of a 0.0.9pre5 changelog svn:r2739 --- ChangeLog | 70 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 70 insertions(+) diff --git a/ChangeLog b/ChangeLog index 545c9d130b..72fb8d53e1 100644 --- a/ChangeLog +++ b/ChangeLog @@ -1,4 +1,74 @@ Changes so far in 0.0.9: +pre5: + o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre4: + - Fix a seg fault in unit tests (doesn't affect main program). + - Fix an assert bug where a hidden service provider would fail if + the first hop of his rendezvous circuit was down. + - Hidden service operators now correctly handle version 1 style + INTRODUCE1 cells (nobody generates them still, so not a critical + bug). + - If do_hup fails, actually notice. + - Handle more errnos from accept() without closing the listener. + Some OpenBSD machines were closing their listeners because + they ran out of file descriptors. + - Send resolve cells to exit routers that are running a new + enough version of the resolve code to work right. + - Better handling of winsock includes on non-MSV win32 compilers. + - Some people had wrapped their tor client/server in a script + that would restart it whenever it died. This did not play well + with our "shut down if your version is obsolete" code. Now people + don't fetch a new directory if their local cached version is + recent enough. + - Make our autogen.sh work on ksh as well as bash. + + o Major Features: + - Hibernation: New config option "AccountingMaxKB" lets you + set how many KB per month you want to allow your server to + consume. Rather than spreading those bytes out evenly over the + month, we instead hibernate for most of the month and pop up + at a deterministic time, work until the bytes are consumed, then + hibernate again. Config option "MonthlyAccountingStart" lets you + specify which day of the month your billing cycle starts on. + - Control interface: a separate program can now talk to your + client/server over a socket, and get/set config options, receive + notifications of circuits and streams starting/finishing/dying, + bandwidth used, etc. The next step is to get some GUIs working. + Let us know if you want to help out. + - Ship a contrib/tor-control.py as an example script to interact + with the control port. + - "tor --hash-password zzyxz" will output a salted password for + use in authenticating to the control interface. + - New log format in config: + "Log minsev[-maxsev] stdout|stderr|syslog" or + "Log minsev[-maxsev] file /foo" + + o Minor Features: + - DirPolicy config option, to let people reject incoming addresses + from their dirserver. + - "tor --list-fingerprint" will list your identity key fingerprint + and then exit. + - Add "pass" target for RedirectExit, to make it easier to break + out of a sequence of RedirectExit rules. + - Clients now generate a TLS cert too, in preparation for having + them act more like real nodes. + - Ship src/win32/ in the tarball, so people can use it to build. + - Make old win32 fall back to CWD if SHGetSpecialFolderLocation + is broken. + - New "router-status" line in directory, to better bind each verified + nickname to its identity key. + - Deprecate unofficial config option abbreviations, and abbreviations + not on the command line. + - Add a pure-C tor-resolve implementation. + - Use getrlimit and friends to ensure we can reach MaxConn (currently + 1024) file descriptors. + + o Code security improvements, inspired by Ilja: + - Replace sprintf with snprintf. (I think they were all safe, but + hey.) + - Replace strcpy/strncpy with strlcpy in more places. + - Avoid strcat; use snprintf or strlcat instead. + - snprintf wrapper with consistent (though not C99) overflow behavior. + pre4: o Bugfixes on 0.0.9pre3: - Ignore fascistfirewall when uploading/downloading hidden service
