XXX + + This is the first alpha release in a new series, so expect there to + be bugs. Users who would rather test out a more stable branch should + stay with 0.2.3.x for now. + + o Major features (bridges): + - Bridges now report the pluggable transports they support to the + bridge authority, so it can pass the supported transports on to + bridgedb and/or eventually do reachability testing. Implements + ticket 3589. + + o Major features (IPv6): + - Bridge authorities now accept IPv6 bridge addresses and include + them in network status documents. Implements ticket 5534. + - Clients who set "ClientUseIPv6 1" may connect to entry nodes over + IPv6. Set "ClientPreferIPv6ORPort 1" to make this even more likely + to happen. Implements ticket 5535. + - All kind of relays, not just bridges, can now advertise an IPv6 + OR port. Implements ticket 6362. + - Directory authorities vote on IPv6 OR ports using the new consensus + method 14. Implements ticket 6363. + + o Major features (build): + - Switch to a nonrecursive Makefile structure. Now instead of each + Makefile.am invoking other Makefile.am's, there is a master + Makefile.am that includes the others. This change makes our build + process slightly more maintainable, and improves parallelism for + building with make -j. Original patch by Stewart Smith; various + fixes by Jim Meyering. + - Where available, we now use automake's "silent" make rules by + default, so that warnings are easier to spot. You can get the old + behavior with "make V=1". Patch by Stewart Smith for ticket 6522. + + o Minor features (code security and spec conformance): + - Clear keys and key-derived material left on the stack in + rendservice.c and rendclient.c. Check return value of + crypto_pk_write_private_key_to_string() in end_service_load_keys(). + These fixes should make us more forward-secure against cold-boot + attacks and the like. Fixes bug 2385. + - Reject EXTEND cells sent to nonexistent streams. According to the + spec, an EXTEND cell sent to _any_ nonzero stream ID is invalid, but + we were only checking for stream IDs that were currently in use. + Found while hunting for more instances of bug 6271. Bugfix on + 0.0.2pre8, which introduced incremental circuit construction. + + o Minor features (streamlining); + - No longer include the "opt" prefix when generating routerinfos + or v2 directories: it has been needless since Tor 0.1.2. Closes + ticket 5124. + - Remove some now-needless code that tried to aggressively flush + OR connections as data was added to them. Since 0.2.0.1-alpha, our + cell queue logic has saved us from the failure mode that this code + was supposed to prevent. Removing this code will limit the number + of baroque control flow paths through Tor's network logic. Reported + pseudonymously on IRC. Fixes bug 6468; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (controller): + - Add a "GETINFO signal/names" control port command. Implements + ticket 3842. + - Provide default values for all options via "GETINFO config/defaults". + Implements ticket 4971. + + o Minor features (IPv6): + - New config option "AuthDirHasIPv6Connectivity auto" that ... XXX + Implements feature 5974. + - A relay with an IPv6 OR port now sends that address in NETINFO + cells (in addition to its other address). Implements ticket 6364. + - New config option AuthDirPublishIPv6. Implements ticket 6406. + + o Minor features (log messages): + - Omit the first heartbeat log message, because it never has anything + useful to say, and it clutters up the bootstrapping messages. + Resolves ticket 6758. + - Don't log about reloading the microdescriptor cache at startup. Our + bootstrap warnings are supposed to tell the user when there's a + problem, and our bootstrap notices say when there isn't. Resolves + ticket 6759; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha. + - Don't log "I learned some more directory information" when we're + reading cached directory information. Reserve it for when new + directory information arrives in response to a fetch. Resolves + ticket 6760. + - Prevent rounding error in path bias counts when scaling + them down, and use the correct scale factor default. Also demote + some path bias related log messages down a level and make others + less scary sounding. Fixes bug 6647. Bugfix against 0.2.3.17-beta. + - We no longer warn so much when generating manpages from their + asciidoc source. + + o Code simplifications and refactoring: + - Enhance our internal sscanf replacement so that we can eliminate + the last remaining uses of the system sscanf. (Though those uses + of sscanf were safe, sscanf itself is generally error prone, so + we want to eliminate when we can.) Fixes ticket 4195 and Coverity + CID 448. + - Move ipv6_preferred from routerinfo_t to node_t. Addresses bug 4620. + - Move last_reachable and testing_since from routerinfo_t to node_t. + Implements ticket 5529. + - Add replaycache_t structure, functions and unit tests, then refactor + rend_service_introduce() to be more clear to read, improve, debug, + and test. Resolves bug 6177. + - Finally remove support for malloc_good_size and malloc_usable_size. + We had hoped that these functions would let us eke a little more + memory out of our malloc implementation. Unfortunately, the only + implementations that provided these functions are also ones that + are already efficient about not overallocation: they never got us + more than 7 or so bytes per allocation. Removing them saves us a + little code complexity and a nontrivial amount of build complexity. + + o New requirements: + - Tor maintainers now require Automake version 1.9 or later to build + Tor from the Git repository. (Automake is not required when building + from a source distribution.) + + Changes in version 0.2.3.21-rc - 2012-09-05 Tor 0.2.3.21-rc is the fourth release candidate for the Tor 0.2.3.x series.
