In tor-spec.txt, instead of saying "nodes may X" instead say "Current
nodes do X; this is nonconformant. Clients should watch out for that."
Based on observations by wanoskarnet.
At best, this patch helps us avoid sending queued relayed cells that
would get ignored during the time between when a destroy cell is
sent and when the circuit is finally freed. At worst, it lets us
release some memory a little earlier than it would otherwise.
Fix for bug #1184. Bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha.
* doc/Makefile.am: Change $(VAR:MOD) to ${VAR:MOD} -- make(1) on
NetBSD substitutes '$(:x)' to 'x' rather than the empty string. This
bites us in doc/ when configured with `--disable-asciidoc'. Curly
braces should work in all implementations of make(1) but this patch
changes only the places where we use the VAR:MOD expansion.
V3 authorities no longer decide not to vote on Guard+Exit. The bandwidth
weights should take care of this now.
Also, lower the max threshold for WFU to 0.98, to allow more nodes to become
guards.
Previously, we said (more or less), "a2x is broken and here's how you could
try to fix it". Instead, we now say "We need a2x to build manpages; a2x
didn't work; here is a fix that might work for you; alternatively you
could just skip manpage building."
Addresses bug 1524.
Also, give the message as a here-document rather than a bunch of echos.
There are now four ways that CBT can be disabled:
1. Network-wide, with the cbtdisabled consensus param.
2. Via config, with "LearnCircuitBuildTimeout 0"
3. Via config, with "AuthoritativeDirectory 1"
4. Via a state file write failure.
The main changes are to explain how we use git branches, how we use
changes files, and what should go into a patch. Putting these in
HACKING means that we shouldn't need to constantly refer to the or-dev
emails where we explain this stuff.
Everything that accepted the 'Circ' name handled it wrong, so even now
that we fixed the handling of the parameter, we wouldn't be able to
set it without making all the 0.2.2.7..0.2.2.10 relays act wonky.
This patch makes Tors accept the 'Circuit' name instead, so we can
turn on circuit priorities without confusing the versions that treated
the 'Circ' name as occasion to act weird.
Zax from #tor noticed that while we list docbook-xsl and docbook-xml
in our helpful error text when making the docs fails, we forgot to
also list libxml2-utils. Let's add that.
- Mention potentially negative consequence of server push, combined
with client caching
- Make the new cell type more generic, allowing other types of
exit-side transforms (suggested by nickm)

All other bandwidthrate settings are restricted to INT32_MAX, but
this check was forgotten for PerConnBWRate and PerConnBWBurst. Also
update the manpage to reflect the fact that specifying a bandwidth
in terabytes does not make sense, because that value will be too
large.
This removes the Makefile.am from doc/design-paper and replaces it with
a static Makefile. We don't need to call it during the normal Tor build
process, as we don't need its targets normally. Keeping it around in
case we want to rebuild the pdf or ps files later.
I propose a backward-compatible change to the Tor connection
establishment protocol to avoid the use of TLS
renegotiation.
Rather than doing a TLS renegotiation to exchange
certificates and authenticate the original handshake, this
proposal takes an approach similar to Steven Murdoch's
proposal 124, and uses Tor cells to authenticate the
parties' identities once the initial TLS handshake is
finished.
This should be a very faithful conversion, preserving as much of the layout
of the old manpage as possible. This wasn't possible for the nt-service
and the DataDirectory/state parts. See a later commit for some small
cleanups.
Tiago Faria helped with the asciidoc conversion, big thanks!
Fix statistics on client numbers by country as seen by bridges that were
broken in 0.2.2.1-alpha. Also switch to reporting full 24-hour intervals
instead of variable 12-to-48-hour intervals.
The HSAuthorityRecordStats option was used to track statistics of overall
hidden service usage on the version 0 hidden service authorities. With the
version 2 hidden service directories being deployed and version 0
descriptors being phased out, these statistics are not as useful anymore.
Goodbye, you fine piece of software; my first major code contribution to
Tor.
