users configure that and specify a bridge with an identity
fingerprint, now they will lookup the bridge descriptor at the
default bridge authority via a one-hop tunnel, but once circuits
are established they will switch to a three-hop tunnel for later
connections to the bridge authority.

Fix a bug that made servers send a "404 Not found" in response to
attempts to fetch their server descriptor. This caused Tor servers
to take many minutes to establish reachability for their DirPort,
and it totally crippled bridges. Bugfix on 0.2.0.5-alpha.

Re-optimize counter-mode: save about 15% on my core2 by (1) not regenerating the entire counter buffer every time we encrypt a block of keystream (2) using the platform-optimized htonl to convert to big-endian (It's a single instruction on 486 and later ) and (3) not even keeping a separate "counter" and "buffer" when the platform is big-endian. The third still needs testing.

clients specify their chosen rendezvous point by identity digest
rather than by (potentially ambiguous) nickname. This change could
speed up hidden service connections dramatically.
svn:r11499
Get rid of a needless malloc() when parsing address policies. Original patch from "Some guy on #tor", via arma. Altered to have a sufficiently large buffer, and not use the buffer so much, and to save a strlcpy.

BandwidthRate, RelayBandwidthRate, or MaxAdvertisedBandwidth
were below a threshold. Now they only look at BandwidthRate and
RelayBandwidthRate.
svn:r11465
Refactor store_stats_t to hold a pointer to the proper mmap, and turn it into a full-fledged type. This sets stuff up nicely for adding a separate "annotated" store. Add some XXXX NM items that need to be fixed when annotated stores exist
svn:r11338
Teach tor about more libevent versions. Be more clear that "Known bugs" means "it will crash or something." Most significantly, stop issuing dire warnings every time we run with kqueue on os x: it seems to have worked for a while now.
svn:r11314
Make controllers accept LF as well as CRLF. Update spec to reflect this. Remove now-dead code. Make controller warning about v0 protocol more accurate.
svn:r11299
Add a line to the state file for each guard to let us know which version added the guard. If the line is absent, assume the guard was added by whatever version of Tor last wrote the state file. Remove guards if the version that added them was using a bad guard selection algorithm. (Previously, we removed guards if the version that wrote the file was using a bad guard selection algorithm, even if the guards themselves were chosen by a good version.)
svn:r11298
Add a new ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses option (default: on) to refuse to believe that any address can map to or from an internal address. This blocks some kinds of potential browser-based attacks, especially on hosts using DNSPort. Also clarify behavior in some comments. Backport candiate?
svn:r11287
Add a hacked-up GETINFO desc/all-recent-extrainfo-hack so that torstat can keep working with a minimum of fuss, until it learns about extrainfo documents.
svn:r11269
Finish implementing and documenting proposal 108: Authorities now use MTBF data to set their stability flags, once they have at least 4 days of data to use.
