This will give relay operators the ability of disabling the caching of
directory data. In general, this should not be necessary, but on some
lower-resource systems it may beneficial.
* The option is now KeepBindCapabilities
* We now warn if the user specifically asked for KeepBindCapabilities
and we can't deliver.
* The unit tests are willing to start.
* Fewer unused-variable warnings.
* More documentation, fewer misspellings.
Once tor is downloading a usable consensus, any other connection
attempts are not needed.
Choose a connection to keep, favouring:
* fallback directories over authorities,
* connections initiated earlier over later connections
Close all other connections downloading a consensus.
Prop210: Add attempt-based connection schedules
Existing tor schedules increment the schedule position on failure,
then retry the connection after the scheduled time.
To make multiple simultaneous connections, we need to increment the
schedule position when making each attempt, then retry a (potentially
simultaneous) connection after the scheduled time.
(Also change find_dl_schedule_and_len to find_dl_schedule, as it no
longer takes or returns len.)
Prop210: Add multiple simultaneous consensus downloads for clients
Make connections on TestingClientBootstrapConsensus*DownloadSchedule,
incrementing the schedule each time the client attempts to connect.
Check if the number of downloads is less than
TestingClientBootstrapConsensusMaxInProgressTries before trying any
more connections.
UseDefaultFallbackDirs enables any hard-coded fallback
directory mirrors. Default is 1, set it to 0 to disable fallbacks.
Implements ticket 17576.

Refuse connection requests to private OR addresses unless
ExtendAllowPrivateAddresses is set. Previously, tor would
connect, then refuse to send any cells to a private address.

release.

The slop testing options are the only spot where we try to enumerate multiple
options on the same line. Changing them to each be on their own line as we do
elsewhere.
When applying changes from proposal 171 Nick renamed SocksPort to SOCKSPort,
and SocksListenAddress to SOCKSListenAddress...
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/commit/?id=891ccd3cd0690e83f1dc4dde7698c3bd9d7fe98d
However, this didn't change the option itself in tor (it's still SocksPort),
and wasn't even uniform in the man page. Functionally this doesn't matter
(tor's config options are case insensitive) but this is a pretty clear
regression.
When logging to syslog, allow a tag to be added to the syslog identity
("Tor"), i.e. the string prepended to every log message. The tag can be
configured by setting SyslogIdentityTag and defaults to none. Setting
it to "foo" will cause logs to be tagged as "Tor-foo". Closes: #17194.
Update the definition of the private exit policy in the man page
and torrcs. It didn't get merged correctly into the man page, and
it was incomplete in the torrcs. (Unfortunately, we only reject the
primary configured IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, not all configured IPv4
and IPv6 addresses.)
Also fixup msn page formatting errors from changes in tickets 16069
and 17027, mainly unescaped *s.
Advise users how to configure separate IPv4 and IPv6 exit
policies in the manpage and sample torrcs.
Related to fixes in ticket #16069 and #17027. Patch by "teor".
Patch on 2eb7eafc9d and a96c0affcb (25 Oct 2012),
released in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
src/test/test_policy.c:
Merged calls to policies_parse_exit_policy by adding additional arguments.
fixup to remaining instance of ~EXIT_POLICY_IPV6_ENABLED.
Compacting logic test now produces previous list length of 4, corrected this.
src/config/torrc.sample.in:
src/config/torrc.minimal.in-staging:
Merged torrc modification dates in favour of latest.
ExitPolicyRejectPrivate now rejects more local addresses by default:
* the relay's published IPv6 address (if any), and
* any publicly routable IPv4 or IPv6 addresses on any local interfaces.
This resolves a security issue for IPv6 Exits and multihomed Exits that
trust connections originating from localhost.
Resolves ticket 17027. Patch by "teor".
Patch on 42b8fb5a15 (11 Nov 2007), released in 0.2.0.11-alpha.
In previous versions of Tor, ExitPolicy accept6/reject6 * produced
policy entries for IPv4 and IPv6 wildcard addresses.
To reduce operator confusion, change accept6/reject6 * to only produce
an IPv6 wildcard address.
Resolves bug #16069.
Patch on 2eb7eafc9d and a96c0affcb (25 Oct 2012),
released in 0.2.4.7-alpha.
This controls the circuit dirtyness reset behavior added for Tor
Browser's user experience fix (#15482). Unlike previous iterations
of this patch, the tunable actually works, and is documented.
When this is set, and Tor is running as a relay, it will not
generate or load its secret identity key. You can manage the secret
identity key with --keygen. Implements ticket 16944.
