doc/TODO and doc/spec/README were placeholders to tell people where to
look for the real TODO and README stuff -- we replaced them years ago,
though.
authority-policy, v3-authority-howto, and torel-design.txt belong in
torspec. I'm putting them in attic there since I think they may be in
large part obsolete, but someone can rescue them if they're not.
translations.txt is outdated, and refers to lots of programs other
than Tor. We have much better translation resources on the website
now.
tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt is pending review of a revised version
for 0.2.5 (see ticket #4520), but there's no reason to ship this one
while we're waiting for an accurate version.
the tor-rpm-creation.txt isn't obsolete AFAIK, but it belongs in
doc/contrib if anywhere.
Resolves bug #8965.
This reverts commit 884a0e269c.
I'm reverting this because it doesn't actually make the problem go
away. It appears that instead we need to do unmap-then-replace.
A comment by rransom on #8795 taken together with a comment by doorss
recorded on #2077 suggest that *every* attempt to replace the md cache
will fail on Vista/Win7 if we don't have the FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag
passed to CreateFile, and if we try to replace the file ourselves
before unmapping it. I'm adding the FILE_SHARE_DELETE, since that's
this simplest fix. Broken indexers (the favored #2077 hypothesis)
could still cause trouble here, but at least this patch should make us
stop stepping on our own feet.
Likely fix for #2077 and its numerous duplicates. Bugfix on
0.2.2.6-alpha, which first had a microdescriptor cache that would get
replaced before remapping it.
There's an assertion failure that can occur if a connection has
optimistic data waiting, and then the connect() call returns 0 on the
first attempt (rather than -1 and EINPROGRESS). That latter behavior
from connect() appears to be an (Open?)BSDism when dealing with remote
addresses in some cases. (At least, I've only seen it reported with
the BSDs under libevent, even when the address was 127.0.0.1. And
we've only seen this problem in Tor with OpenBSD.)
Fixes bug 9017; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha, which first introduced
optimistic data. (Although you could also argue that the commented-out
connection_start_writing in 155c9b80 back in 2002 is the real source
of the issue.)
