rather than the more aggressive client retry count. Fixes part of
ticket 18809.
o Major bugfixes (compilation):
- Repair hardened builds under the clang compiler. Previously, our
use of _FORTIFY_SOURCE would conflict with clang's address
sanitizer. Fixes bug 14821; bugfix on 0.2.5.4-alpha.
o Major bugfixes (dns proxy mode, crash):
- Avoid crashing when running as a DNS proxy. Fixes bug 16248;
bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch from "cypherpunks".
o Major bugfixes (ed25519, voting):
- Actually enable support for authorities to match routers by their
Ed25519 identities. Previously, the code had been written, but
some debugging code that had accidentally been left in the
codebase made it stay turned off. Fixes bug 17702; bugfix
on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- When collating votes by Ed25519 identities, authorities now
include a "NoEdConsensus" flag if the ed25519 value (or lack
thereof) for a server does not reflect the majority consensus.
Related to bug 17668; bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
- When generating a vote with keypinning disabled, never include two
entries for the same ed25519 identity. This bug was causing
authorities to generate votes that they could not parse when a
router violated key pinning by changing its RSA identity but
keeping its Ed25519 identity. Fixes bug 17668; fixes part of bug
18318. Bugfix on 0.2.7.2-alpha.
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

queue a cell like that as our code is constructed today, but it's
