Changes in version 0.3.1.1-alpha - 2017-05-??
blurb goes here
+ o Major features (security, stability, experimental):
+ - Tor now has the optional ability to include modules written in
+ Rust. To turn this on, pass the "--enable-rust" flag to the
+ configure script. It's not time to get excited yet: currently,
+ there is no actual Rust functionality beyond some simple glue
+ code, and a notice at startup to tell you that Rust is running.
+ Still, we hope that programmers and packagers will try building
+ with rust support, so that we can find issues with the build
+ system, and solve portability issues. Closes ticket 22106.
+
o Major features (directory protocol):
- Tor relays and authorities are now able to serve clients an
abbreviated version of the networkstatus consensus document,
- containing only the changes since the an older consensus document that
- the client holds. Clients now request these documents when
- available. When this new protocol is in use by both client and server,
- they will use far less bandwidth (up to 94% less) to keep an up-to-date
- consensus. Implements proposal 140; closes ticket 13339. Based
- on work by by Daniel Martí.

o Major features (directory system):
- - Tor's compression module now includes support for the zstd and lzma2
- compression algorithms, if the libzstd and liblzma libraries are
- available when Tor is compiled. Once these features are exposed in the
- directory module, they will enable Tor to provide better compression
- ratios on directory documents. Part of an implementation for proposal
- 278; closes ticket 21662.

+ Closes ticket 21643.
o Major features (traffic analysis resistance):
- - Relays and clients will now send a padding cell on idle OR
- connections every 1.5 to 9.5 seconds (tunable via consensus
- parameters). Directory connections and inter-relay connections
- are not padded. Padding is negotiated using Tor's link protocol,
- so both relays and clients must upgrade for this to take effect.
- Clients may still send padding despite the relay's version by
- setting ConnectionPadding 1 in torrc, and may disable padding
- by setting ConnectionPadding 0 in torrc. Padding may be minimized
- for mobile users with the torrc option ReducedConnectionPadding.
- Implements Proposal 251 and Section 2 of Proposal 254; closes ticket
- 16861.
- - Relays will publish 24 hour totals of padding and non-padding cell
- counts to their extra-info descriptors, unless PaddingStatistics 0
- is set in torrc. These 24 hour totals are also rounded to multiples
- of 10000.

o Major bugfixes (hidden service directory, security):
- - Fix an assertion failure in the hidden service directory code, which
- could be used by an attacker to remotely cause a Tor relay process to
- exit. Relays running earlier versions of Tor 0.3.0.x should upgrade.

Patch from "d4fq0fQAgoJ".
+ o Minor features (defaults, security):
+ - The default value for UseCreateFast is now 0: clients which
+ haven't yet received a consensus document will nonetheless use a
+ proper handshake to talk to their directory servers (when they
+ can). Closes ticket 21407.
+
+ o Minor features (security, windows):
+ - Enable a couple of pieces of Windows hardening: one
+ (HeapEnableTerminationOnCorruption) that has been on-by-default
+ since Windows 8, and unavailable before Windows 7, and one
+ (PROCESS_DEP_DISABLE_ATL_THUNK_EMULATION) which we believe doesn't
+ affect us, but shouldn't do any harm. Closes ticket 21953.

o Minor feature (defaults, directory):
- - Onion key rotation and expiry intervals are now defined as a network
- consensus parameter as per proposal 274. The default lifetime of an
- onion key is bumped from 7 to 28 days. Old onion keys will expire after 7
- days by default. Closes ticket 21641.

o Minor feature (include on config files):
- Adds config-can-saveconf to GETINFO command to tell if SAVECONF
will work without the FORCE option, closes ticket 1922.
- - Allow the use of %include on configuration files to include settings
- from other files or directories. Using %include with a directory will
- include all (non-dot) files in that directory in lexically sorted order
- (non-recursive), closes ticket 1922.

- that has includes. Using SAVECONF with the FORCE option will

- 151 fallbacks (32 new, 119 existing, 58 removed) generated in

o Minor features (hidden service, logging):
- - Warn user if multiple entries in EntryNodes and at least one
- HiddenService are used together. Pinning EntryNodes along with an hidden
- service can be possibly harmful for instance see ticket 14917 or 21155.

o Minor features (infrastructure, seccomp2 sandbox):

seccomp2 sandbox. The long-term plan is to use this backend for
consensus documents and for storing unparseable directory

o Minor features (testing):
- Add a "--disable-memory-sentinels" feature to help with fuzzing.
When Tor is compiled with this option, we disable a number of
- redundant memory-safety failsafes that are intended to stop
- bugs from becoming security issues. This makes it easier to hunt
- for bugs that would be security issues without the failsafes
- turned on. Closes ticket 21439.
- - Add a general event-tracing instrumentation support to Tor. This
- subsystem will enable developers and researchers to add fine-grained
- instrumentation to their Tor instances, for use when examining Tor
- network performance issues. There are no trace events yet, and
- event-tracing is off by default unless enabled at compile time.

- CircuitIdleTimeout and PredictedPortsRelevanceTime into a single option
- called CircuitsAvailableTimeout. Also, allow the consensus to control
- the default values for both this preference, as well as the lifespan
- of relay-to-relay connections. Fixes bug 17592; bugfix on 0.2.5.5-alpha.

- ensure that ReducedConnectionPadding clients finish learning a timeout
- before their orconn would expire. The initial testing rate was set back
- in the days of TAP and before the Tor Browser updater, when we had to be
- much more careful about new clients making lots of circuits. With this
- change, a circuit build time is learned in about 15-20 minutes, instead
- of ~100-120 minutes.

o Minor bugfixes (connection usage):

- a connection will agree on the canonical status of that connection.
- Prefer the connections where this is the case for extend cells,
- and try to close connections where relays disagree on canonical
- status early. Also, additionally alter the connection selection
- logic to prefer the oldest valid connection for extend cells.
- These two changes should reduce the number of long-term connections
- that are kept open between relays. Fixes bug 17604; bugfix on

+ version parsing between POSIX-based and Windows platforms. Fixes

o Minor bugfixes (windows, relay):
- Resolve "Failure from drain_fd: No error" warnings on Windows
relays. Fixes bug 21540; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha.
o Code simplification and refactoring:
- - Break up the 630-line function connection_dir_client_reached_eof() into
- a dozen smaller functions. This change should help maintainability and
- readability of the client directory code.

- Isolate our usage of the openssl headers so that they are only
- used from our crypto wrapper modules, and from tests that examing those
- modules' internals. Closes ticket 21841.

- Our API to launch directory requests has been greatly simplified
to become more extensible and less error-prone. We'll be using
this to improve support for adding extra headers to directory
requests. Closes ticket 21646.
- Our base64 decoding functions no longer overestimate the output
- space that they will need when parsing unpadded inputs.

- Remove unused "ROUTER_ADDED_NOTIFY_GENERATOR" internal value.
Resolves ticket 22213.
- The logic that directory caches use to spool request to clients,
- serving them one part at a time so as not to allocate too much memory,
- has been refactored for consistency. Previously there was a separate
- spooling implementation per type of spoolable data. Now there
- is one common spooling implementation, with extensible data types.

removed. It is not possible anymore to use Invalid nodes.
