Previously we ensured that it would get called periodically by doing
it from inside the code that added microdescriptors. That won't work
though: it would interfere with our code that tried to read microdescs
from disk initially. Instead, we should consider rebuilding the cache
periodically, and on startup.
Previously on 0.2.2, we'd never clean the cache. Now that we can
clean it, we want to add a condition to rebuild it: that should happen
whenever we have dropped enough microdescriptors that we could save a
lot of space.
No changes file, since 0.2.3 doesn't need one and 0.2.2 already has some
changes files for the backport of the microdesc_clean_cahce() function.
Clients and relays haven't used them since early 0.2.0.x. The only
remaining use by authorities learning about new relays ahead of scedule;
see proposal 147 for what we intend to do about that.
We're leaving in an option (FetchV2Networkstatus) to manually fetch v2
networkstatuses, because apparently dnsel and maybe bwauth want them.
This fixes bug 3022.
Previously it would erroneously return true if ListenAddr was set for
a client port, even if that port itself was 0. This would give false
positives, which were not previously harmful... but which were about
to become.
A v0 HS authority stores v0 HS descriptors in the same descriptor
cache that its HS client functionality uses. Thus, if the HS
authority operator clears its client HS descriptor cache, ALL v0
HS descriptors will be lost. That would be bad.
These functions can return NULL for otherwise-valid values of
time_t. Notably, the glibc gmtime manpage says it can return NULL
if the year if greater than INT_MAX, and the windows MSDN gmtime
page says it can return NULL for negative time_t values.
Also, our formatting code is not guaranteed to correctly handle
years after 9999 CE.
This patch tries to correct this by detecting NULL values from
gmtime/localtime_r, and trying to clip them to a reasonable end of
the scale. If they are in the middle of the scale, we call it a
downright error.
Arguably, it's a bug to get out-of-bounds dates like this to begin
with. But we've had bugs of this kind in the past, and warning when
we see a bug is much kinder than doing a NULL-pointer dereference.
Boboper found this one too.
If the user sent a SIGNAL NEWNYM command after we fetched a rendezvous
descriptor, while we were building the introduction-point circuit, we
would give up entirely on trying to connect to the hidden service.
Original patch by rransom slightly edited to go into 0.2.1
Previously, it would remove every trackhostexits-derived mapping
*from* xyz.<exitname>.exit; it was supposed to remove every
trackhostexits-derived mapping *to* xyz.<exitname>.exit.
Bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc: fixes an XXX020 added while staring at bug-1090
issues.
