descriptors from Tor relays running any version of Tor prior to Tor
0.2.3.16-alpha. Resolves ticket 11149.
o Minor features (relay):
- If a circuit timed out for at least 3 minutes check if we have a new
external IP address the next time we run our routine checks. If our
IP address has changed, then publish a new descriptor with the new
IP address. Resolves ticket 2454.
o Major features (relay performance):
- Faster server-side lookups of rendezvous and introduction point
circuits by using hashtables instead of linear searches over all
the circuits. These functions previously accounted between 3 and
7% of CPU usage on some busy relays.
o Major bugfixes (undefined behavior):
- Fix two instances of possible undefined behavior in channeltls.c

- Fix another possibly undefined pointer operations in the eventdns
fallback implementation. Another case of bug #10363; bugfix on
0.1.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (build):
- Build the torify.1 manpage again. Previously, we were only
trying to build it when also building tor-fw-helper. That's why
we didn't notice that we'd broken the ability to build it.
Fixes bug 11321; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
- Use AddressSanitizer and Ubsan sanitizers (in clang-3.4) to fix some
miscellaneous errors in our tests and codebase. Fix for bug 11232.
Bugfixes on versions back as far as 0.2.1.11-alpha.

- Fix a minor memory leak that occurred when signing a directory
object. Fixes bug 11275; bugfix on 0.2.4.13-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (build):
o Minor bugfixes (platform-specific):
- Fix compilation on Solaris, which does not have <endian.h>.
Fixes bug 11426; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
- When dumping a malformed directory object to disk, save it in binary
mode on windows, not text mode. Fixes bug 11342; bugfix on
0.2.2.1-alpha.
- When reporting a failure from make_socket_reuseable(), don't
report a warning when we get a failure from an incoming socket
on OSX. Fix for bug 10081.
o Minor bugfixes (misc):
o Minor bugfixes (trivial memory leaks):
- Free placeholder entries in our circuit table at exit; fixes
a harmless memory leak. Fixes bug 11278; bugfix on 0.2.5.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Only retry attempts to connect to a chosen rendezvous point 8 times,
not 30. Fixes bug #4241; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.
o Minor bugfixes (misc):
- Resolve some memory leaks found by coverity in the unit tests,
on exit in tor-gencert, and on a failure to compute digests
for our own keys when generating a v3 networkstatus vote.
These leaks should never have affected anyone in practice.
o Minor bugfixes (hidden service):
- Only retry attempts to connect to a chosen rendezvous point 8 times,
not 30. Fixes bug #4241; bugfix on 0.1.0.1-rc.

- Stop accepting bridge lines containing hostnames. Doing so allowed
clients to perform DNS requests on the hostnames, which was not

0.2.2.1-alpha.
o Minor bugfixes (IPv6):
- When using DNSPort and AutomapHostsOnResolve, respond to AAAA
requests with AAAA automapped answers. Fixes bug 10468; bugfix
on 0.2.4.7-alpha.
o Minor features (relay):
- If a circuit timed out for at least 3 minutes check if we have a new
external IP address the next time we run our routine checks. If our
IP address has changed, then publish a new descriptor with the new

- Warn less verbosely when receiving a misformed ESTABLISH_RENDEZVOUS

o Minor features (controller):
- Make the entire exit policy available from the control port via
GETINFO exit-policy/*. Implements enhancement #7952. Patch from
"rl1987".
