Changes in version 0.4.6.8 - 2021-10-26
- This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor. Worth
- noting is a fix on how we use DNS timeout to report general overload.
- Everyone running an earlier version, whether as a client, a relay, or
- an onion service, should upgrade to Tor 0.3.5.17, 0.4.5.11,
- or 0.4.6.8.
+ This version fixes several bugs from earlier versions of Tor. One
+ highlight is a fix on how we track DNS timeouts to report general
+ relay overload.
o Major bugfixes (relay, overload state):
- - Report the general overload state for DNS timeout errors only if
- X% of all DNS queries over Y seconds are errors. Before that, it
- only took 1 timeout to report the overload state which was just
- too low of a threshold. The X and Y values are 1% and 10 minutes
- respectively but they are also controlled by consensus parameters.
- Fixes bug 40491; bugfix on 0.4.6.1-alpha.
