Stop saying in the manual that clients cache ipv4 dns answers from exit
relays. We haven't used them since 0.2.6.3-alpha, and in ticket 24050
we stopped even caching them as of 0.3.2.6-alpha, but we forgot to say
so in the man page.
Fixes bug 26052; bugfix on 0.3.2.6-alpha.
Apart from adding the newly created Module.md, this commit also adds all the
missing files we have in HACKING/ to the EXTRA_DIST.

Now that we update our buckets on demand before reading or writing,
we no longer need to update them all every TokenBucketRefillInterval
msec.
When a connection runs out of bandwidth, we do need a way to
reenable it, however. We do this by scheduling a timer to reenable
all blocked connections for TokenBucketRefillInterval msec after a
connection becomes blocked.
(If we were using PerConnBWRate more, it might make sense to have a
per-connection timer, rather than a single timeout. But since
PerConnBWRate is currently (mostly) unused, I'm going to go for the
simpler approach here, since usually whenever one connection has
become blocked on bandwidth, most connections are blocked on
bandwidth.)
Implements ticket 25373.
Add to the Denial of Service section of the man page an explanation about the
three different mitigation Tor has.

The anchor here was originally introduced to make sure that the

RendPostPeriod only works on v2 onion services.
HiddenServiceAuthorizeClient is not yet implemented for v3 onion services.

Because this touches too many commits at once, it is made into one single
commit.
Remove the use of "tenths" for the circuit rate to simplify things. We can
only refill the buckets at best once every second because of the use of
approx_time() and our token system is set to be 1 token = 1 circuit so make
the rate a flat integer of circuit per second.

This makes clients on the public tor network prefer to bootstrap off fallback
directory mirrors.
This is a follow-up to 24679, which removed weights from the default fallbacks.
Implements ticket 24681.
This patch adds support for MainloopStats that allow developers to get
main event loop statistics via Tor's heartbeat status messages. The new
status log message will show how many succesful, erroneous, and idle
event loop iterations we have had.

This patch adds support for Android's logging subsystem in Tor. When
debugging Android applications it is useful to be able to collect
information about the application running on the platform via the
various system services that is available on the platform.
This patch allows you to add "Log notice android" to your torrc and have
Tor send everything above and including the notice severity to Android's
ring buffer which can be inspected using the 'adb logcat' program.

Few issues...
* Malformed ReducedExitPolicy, causing brackets to appear.
* ExitPolicyDefault wasn't actually listed, instead it munged the description
into the ExitPolicy description.
* Extra plus signs in the ExitPolicy and ReducedExitPolicy entries. After an
hour of struggling with asciidoc couldn't figure out how to format it as
'paragraph => example => paragraph with same indentation' so just
rearranging the ExitPolicy entry.
Patches welcome if someone strongly prefers having the paragraph after the
example.

(I was going to fix "along" to "along with" which was pretty clearly the
original intent, but then I realized that it would be confusing whether
it's only bad when you use several of them in conjunction, or what. So
hopefully this fix is clearer.)
Bridge relays can use it to add a "bridge-distribution-request" line
to their bridge descriptor, which tells BridgeDB how they'd like their
bridge address to be given out.
Implements tickets 18329.
Add more explanation in doc/HACKING about how to read gcov output,
including a reference to the gcov documentation in the GCC manual.
Also add details about how our postprocessing scripts modify gcov
output.
doc/HACKING/GettingStarted.md says "you might like reading doc/HACKING",
which the reader obviously is already doing. Instead point to the "torguts"
documents that are mentioned a few lines below too.
But when clients are just starting, make them try each bridge a few times
before giving up on it.
These changes make the bridge download schedules more explicit: before
17750, they relied on undocumented behaviour and specific schedule
entries. (And between 17750 and this fix, they were broken.)
Fixes 23347, not in any released version of tor.
The download schedule tells Tor to wait 15 minutes before downloading
bridge descriptors. But 17750 made Tor ignore that and start immediately.
Since we fixed 17750, Tor waits 15 minutes for bridge client bootstrap,
like the schedule says.
This fixes the download schedule to start immediately, and to try each
bridge 3 times in the first 30 seconds. This should make bridge bootstraps
more reliable.
Fixes 23347.
Undeprecate it;
rename it to TestingClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses;
add the old name as an alias;

We removed this documentation in 607724c696, when we removed
Naming Authoritative Directories, but actually this file is still

Relay operators (especially bridge operators) can use this to lower
or raise the number of consensuses that they're willing to hold for
diff generation purposes.
This enables a workaround for bug 22883.
Move the HTTPProxy option to the deprecated list so for now it will only warn

I went into this to fix 6892 and say "we don't do anything for
circuit isolation." But instead I did a fair amount of text-removal
to stop implying that torify does anything more than call torsocks.
config_get_lines is now split into two functions:
- config_get_lines which is the same as before we had %include
- config_get_lines_include which actually processes %include

This unifies CircuitIdleTimeout and PredictedCircsRelevanceTime into a single
option, and randomizes it.
It also gives us control over the default value as well as relay-to-relay
connection lifespan through the consensus.

This defense will cause Cisco, Juniper, Fortinet, and other routers operating
in the default configuration to collapse netflow records that would normally
be split due to the 15 second flow idle timeout.
Collapsing these records should greatly reduce the utility of default netflow
data for correlation attacks, since all client-side records should become 30
minute chunks of total bytes sent/received, rather than creating multiple
separate records for every webpage load/ssh command interaction/XMPP chat/whatever
else happens to be inactive for more than 15 seconds.
The defense adds consensus parameters to govern the range of timeout values
for sending padding packets, as well as for keeping connections open.
The defense only sends padding when connections are otherwise inactive, and it
does not pad connections used solely for directory traffic at all. By default
it also doesn't pad inter-relay connections.
Statistics on the total padding in the last 24 hours are exported to the
extra-info descriptors.
Bridge lines in torrc can contain key=value settings as per-connection
arguments to a pluggable transport. tor.1.txt hadn't been updated to
reflect this.
This commit adds the src/trace directory containing the basics for our tracing
subsystem. It is not used in the code base. The "src/trace/debug.h" file
contains an example on how we can map our tor trace events to log_debug().
The tracing subsystem can only be enabled by tracing framework at compile
time. This commit introduces the "--enable-tracing-debug" option that will
make all "tor_trace()" function be maped to "log_debug()".

In an effort to better communicate with our users that they might need
to take certain actions when upgrading, we should extract from the
changelog the items that require some action (example: the new version
automatically generates keys, if you want them to be offline - make sure
to create them before upgrading).
