Changes in version 0.2.9.4-alpha - 2016-10-17
|
||||
Foo bar
|
||||
Tor 0.2.9.4-alpha adds numerous small features and fix-ups to previous
|
||||
versions of Tor, including the implementation of a feature to future-
|
||||
proof the Tor ecosystem against protocol changes, some bug fixes
|
||||
necessary for Tor Browser to use unix domain sockets correctly, and
|
||||
several portability improvements. We anticipate that this will be the
|
||||
last alpha in the Tor 0.2.9 series, and that the next release will be
|
||||
a release candidate.
|
||||
|
||||
o Major features (subprotocol versions):
|
||||
- Tor directory authorities now vote on a set of recommended subprotocol
|
||||
versions, and on a set of required subprotocol versions. Clients and
|
||||
relays that lack support for a _required_ suprotocol version will not
|
||||
start; those that lack support for a _recommended_ subprotocol version
|
||||
will warn the user to upgrade. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
|
||||
proposal 264.
|
||||
- Tor now uses "subprotocol versions" to indicate
|
||||
compatibility. Previously, versions of Tor looked at the declared Tor
|
||||
version of a relay to tell whether they could use a given feature.
|
||||
Now, they should be able to rely on its declared subprotocol versions.
|
||||
This change allows compatible implementations of the Tor protocol(s) to
|
||||
exist without declaring compatibility with pretending to be particular
|
||||
releases of Tor itself. Closes ticket 19958; implements part of
|
||||
proposal 264.

o Minor feature (fallback directories):

- Remove broken fallbacks from the hard-coded fallback directory list.

list. Closes ticket 20190; patch by teor.
|
||||
|
||||
o Minor features (client, directory):
|
||||
- Since authorities now omit all routers that lack the Running and Valid
|
||||
flags, we assume that any relay listed in the consensus must
|
||||
have those flags. Closes ticket 20001; implements part of proposal
|
||||
272.

|

|

o Minor features (unix domain sockets):
|
||||
- When configuring a unix domain socket for a SocksPort,
|
||||
ControlPort, or Hidden service, you can now wrap the address
|
||||
in quotes, using C-style escapes inside the quotes. This
|
||||
allows unix domain socket paths to contain spaces.
|

|

o Minor features (geoip):

- Update geoip and geoip6 to the October 4 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2

|

o Minor features (virtual addresses):
|
||||
- Increase the maximum number of bits for the IPv6 virtual network prefix
|
||||
from 16 to 104. In this way, the condition for address allocation is less
|
||||
restrictive.

This makes is more likely that Tor will guess the same relay IP address every time.
