Changes in version 0.2.4.7-alpha - 2012-12-24
Tor 0.2.4.7-alpha introduces a new approach to providing fallback
directory mirrors for more robust bootstrapping; fixes more issues where
clients with changing network conditions refuse to make any circuits;
adds initial support for exiting to IPv6 addresses; resumes being able
to update our GeoIP database, and includes the geoip6 file this time;
turns off the client-side DNS cache by default due to privacy risks;
and fixes a variety of other issues.
o Major features (client resilience):
- Add a new "FallbackDir" torrc option to use when we can't use
a directory mirror from the consensus (either because we lack a

0.2.4.4-alpha.
- Distribute and install the geoip6 IPv6 GeoIP database. Fixes bug
- Include the geoip6 IPv6 GeoIP database in the tarball. Fixes bug

- Add a new torrc option "ServerTransportListenAddr" to let users
select the address where their pluggable transports will listen

listen for connections. Resolves ticket 7013.
- Allow an optional $ before the node identity digest in the
controller command GETINFO ns/id/<identity>, for consistency with

- AutomapHostsOnResolve responses are now randomized, to avoid
annoying situations where Tor is restarted and applications
connect to the wrong addresses.
- We never try more than 1000 times to pick a new virtual address
when AutomapHostsOnResolve is set. That's good enough so long as
we aren't close to handing out our entire virtual address space;

if you're getting there, it's best to switch to IPv6 virtual
addresses anyway.
