Changes in version 0.1.2.2-alpha - 2006-10-??
o Major features:
- Add server-side support for "reverse" DNS lookups (using PTR
records so clients can determine the canonical hostname for a
given IPv4 address). This has been specified for a long time,
but was previously never implemented. This is only supported by
eventdns; servers now announce in their descriptors whether they
records so clients can determine the canonical hostname for a given
IPv4 address). Only supported by servers using our eventdns async
library; servers now announce in their descriptors whether they
support eventdns.
- Specify and implement client-side SOCKS5 interface for reverse DNS
lookups; see doc/socks-extensions.txt for full information.
- Add a BEGIN_DIR relay cell type for an easier in-protocol way to
connect to directory servers through Tor. Previously, clients could
only connect to director servers over Tor from exit nodes, but couldn't
get directory information anonymously from a non-exit cache without
getting a directory server involved.

o Minor Bugfixes:
- Two small performance improvements on parsing descriptors.
- Fix big bug affecting performance for both serving and reaching
hidden services.
- We were building exactly the wrong circuits when we anticipated
hidden service requirements, meaning Tor would have to build all
its circuits on demand.
- Major performance improvement on inserting descriptors: change
algorithm from O(n^2) to O(n).
- Make the common memory allocation path faster on machines where

With the old code, if a guard was unreachable by us but listed as
running, it would clog our guard list forever.
- Make eventdns give strings for DNS errors, not just error numbers.

o Documentation
- Documented (and renamed) ServerDNSSearchDomains and
ServerDNSResolvConfFile options.
o Packaging:
- Patches so Tor builds with MinGW on Windows.
- The Debian package now uses --verify-config when (re)starting,
