Changes in version 0.2.9.2-alpha - 2016-08-2?
Tor 0.2.9.2-alpha XXXX BLURB HERE.
o Major features (user interface):
- Tor now supports the ability to declare options deprecated, so
that we can recommend that people stop using them. Previously,
this was done in an ad-hoc way. Closes ticket 19820.
o Major bugfixes (directory downloads):
- Avoid resetting download status for consensuses hourly, since we
already have another, smarter retry mechanism. Fixes bug 8625;
bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha.
o Minor features (config):
- Warn users when descriptor and port addresses are inconsistent.
Mitigates bug 13953; patch by teor.
o Minor features (geoip):
- Update geoip and geoip6 to the August 2 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2
Country database.
o Minor features (user interface):
- There is a new --list-deprecated-options command-line option to
list all of the deprecated options. Implemented as part of
ticket 19820.
o Minor bugfixes (code style):
- Fix an integer signedness conversion issue in the case conversion
tables. Fixes bug 19168; bugfix on 0.2.1.11-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation):
- Build correctly on versions of libevent2 without support for
evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes(). Fixes bug 19904; bugfix
on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
- Fix a compilation warning on GCC versions before 4.6. Our
ENABLE_GCC_WARNING macro used the word "warning" as an argument,
when it is also required as an argument to the compiler pragma.
Fixes bug 19901; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (compilation, also in 0.2.8.7):
- Remove an inappropriate "inline" in tortls.c that was causing
warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix on
0.2.8.1-alpha.
warnings on older versions of GCC. Fixes bug 19903; bugfix
on 0.2.8.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (fallback directories, also in 0.2.8.7):
- Avoid logging a NULL string pointer when loading fallback
directory information. Fixes bug 19947; bugfix on 0.2.4.7-alpha
and 0.2.8.1-alpha. Report and patch by "rubiate".
o Minor bugfixes (logging):
- Log a more accurate message when we fail to dump a microdescriptor.
Fixes bug 17758; bugfix on 0.2.2.8-alpha. Patch from Daniel Pinto.
o Minor bugfixes (memory leak):
- Fix a series of slow memory leaks related to parsing torrc files
and options. Fixes bug 19466; bugfix on 0.2.1.6-alpha.
o Deprecated features:
- A number of DNS-cache-related sub-options for client ports are now
deprecated for security reasons, and may be removed in a future
version of Tor. (We believe that client-side DNS cacheing is a bad
idea for anonymity, and you should not turn it on.) The options
are: CacheDNS, CacheIPv4DNS, CacheIPv6DNS, UseDNSCache,
UseIPv4Cache, and UseIPv6Cache.
- A number of options are deprecated for security reasons, and may
be removed in a future version of Tor. The options are:
AllowDotExit, AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits,
AllowSingleHopExits, ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses,
CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout,
ExcludeSingleHopRelays, FastFirstHopPK, TLSECGroup,
UseNTorHandshake, and WarnUnsafeSocks.
- The *ListenAddress options are now deprecated as unnecessary: the
corresponding *Port options should be used instead. These options
may someday be removed. The affected options are:
ControlListenAddress, DNSListenAddress, DirListenAddress,
NATDListenAddress, ORListenAddress, SocksListenAddress,
and TransListenAddress.
o Documentation:
- Correct the IPv6 syntax in our documentation for the
VirtualAddrNetworkIPv6 torrc option. Closes ticket 19743.
o Removed code:
- We no longer include the (dead, deprecated) bufferevent code in
Tor. Closes ticket 19450. Based on a patch from U+039b.
