Otherwise, when we authority try to do a self-test because of
init-keys, if that self-test can't be launched for whatever reason and
so we close the channel immediately, we crash.
Yes, this a silly way for initialization to work.
Allow clients to use optimistic data when connecting to a hidden service,
which should cut out the initial round-trip for client-side programs
including Tor Browser.
(Now that Tor 0.2.2.x is obsolete, all hidden services should support
server-side optimistic data.)
See proposal 181 for details. Implements ticket 13211.
Clients are now willing to send optimistic circuit data (before they
receive a 'connected' cell) to relays of any version. We used to
only do it for relays running 0.2.3.1-alpha or later, but now all
relays are new enough.
Resolves ticket 13153.
Return an error when the second or later arguments of the
"setevents" controller command are invalid events. Previously we
would return success while silently skipping invalid events.
Fixes bug 13205; bugfix on 0.2.3.2-alpha. Reported by "fpxnns".
Stop modifying the value of our DirReqStatistics torrc option just
because we're not a bridge or relay. This bug was causing Tor
Browser users to write "DirReqStatistics 0" in their torrc files
as if they had chosen to change the config.
Fixes bug 4244; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Clients now send the correct address for their chosen rendezvous point
when trying to access a hidden service. They used to send the wrong
address, which would still work some of the time because they also
sent the identity digest of the rendezvous point, and if the hidden
service happened to try connecting to the rendezvous point from a relay
that already had a connection open to it, the relay would reuse that
connection. Now connections to hidden services should be more robust
and faster. Also, this bug meant that clients were leaking to the hidden
service whether they were on a little-endian (common) or big-endian (rare)
system, which for some users might have reduced their anonymity.
Fixes bug 13151; bugfix on 0.2.1.5-alpha.
"At this point in the code, msg has been set to a string
constant. But the tor code checks that msg is not NULL, and the
redundant NULL check confuses the analyser[...] To avoid this
spurious warning, the patch initialises msg to NULL."
Patch from teor. another part of 13157.
Tor Browser includes several ClientTransportPlugin lines in its
torrc-defaults file, leading every Tor Browser user who looks at her
logs to see these notices and wonder if they're dangerous.
Resolves bug 13124; bugfix on 0.2.5.3-alpha.
