0.2.3.x no longer uses v0 HS descriptors, but this assertion can
trigger on (and crash) v0 HS authorities. Fixes bug 4411.
Bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha; diagnosed by frosty_un.
- - Don't crash when we, as the bridge authority, are asked for our own
+ - Make bridge authorities not crash when they are asked for their own
descriptor. Bugfix on 0.2.3.7-alpha, reported by Lucky Green.
- o Minor bugfixes:
+ o Major features:
+ - Allow Tor controllers like Vidalia to obtain the microdescriptor
+ for a relay by identity digest or nickname. Previously,
+ microdescriptors were only available by their own digests, so a
+ controller would have to ask for and parse the whole microdescriptor
+ consensus in order to look up a single relay's microdesc. Fixes
+ bug 3832; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
+ - Use OpenSSL's EVP interface for AES encryption, so that all AES
+ operations can use hardware acceleration (if present). Resolves
+ ticket 4442.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.2.x and earlier):
- Fix a memory leak when we check whether a hidden service
descriptor has any usable introduction points left. Fixes bug
4424. Bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
- Fix a memory leak in launch_direct_bridge_descriptor_fetch() that
occurred when a client tried to fetch a descriptor for a bridge
in ExcludeNodes. Fixes #4383; bugfix on 0.2.2.25-alpha.
+ - Allow manual 'authenticate' commands to the controller interface
+ from netcat (nc) as well as telnet. We were rejecting them because
+ they didn't come with the expected whitespace at the end of the
+ command. Bugfix on 0.1.1.1-alpha; fixes bug 2893.
+ - When sending a NETINFO cell, include the original address
+ received for the other side, not its canonical address. Found
+ by "troll_un"; fixes bug 4349; bugfix on 0.2.0.10-alpha.
+ - When running as a client without a geoip database, do not print a
+ misleading (and plain wrong) log message that we're collecting
+ dirreq statistics - we're not collecting statistics as clients.
+ Also don't create a useless (because empty) stats file in the stats/
+ directory. Fixes bug 4353; bugfix on 0.2.2.34 / 0.2.3.7-alpha.
+ - Fix some (not actually triggerable) buffer size checks in usage of
+ tor_inet_ntop. Fixes bug 4434; bugfix on Tor 0.2.0.1-alpha. Patch
+ by Anders Sundman.
+ - Don't warn about unused log_mutex in log.c when building with
+ --disable-threads using a recent GCC. Fixes bug 4437; bugfix on
+ 0.1.0.6-rc which introduced --disable-threads.
+ - Initialize Libevent with the EVENT_BASE_FLAG_NOLOCK flag enabled, so
+ that it doesn't attempt to allocate a socketpair. This could cause
+ some problems on windows systems with overzealous firewalls. Fix for
+ bug 4457; workaround for Libevent versions 2.0.1-alpha through
+ 2.0.15-stable.
+ - Detect failure to initialize Libevent. Better detection for
+ bug 4457.
+ - Fix parsing of some corner-cases with tor_inet_pton. Fixes bug 4515;
+ bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha; fix by Anders Sundman.
+ - Rename the bench_{aes,dmap} functions to test_*, so that tinytest
+ can pick them up when the tests aren't disabled. Bugfix on
+ 0.2.2.4-alpha which introduced tinytest.
+
+ o Minor bugfixes (on 0.2.3.x):
+ - Successfully detect AUTH_CHALLENGE cells with no recognized
+ authentication type listed. Fixes bug 4367; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
+ Found by frosty_un.
+ - If a relay receives an AUTH_CHALLENGE it can't answer, it should
+ still send a NETINFO cell to allow the connection to become open.
+ Fixes bug 4368; fix on 0.2.3.6-alpha; bug found by "frosty".
+ - Log less loudly when we get an invalid certificate from a source
+ other than a directory authority: it's not unusual to see
+ invalid certs because of clock skew. Fixes bug 4370; bugfix on
+ 0.2.3.6-alpha.
+ - Tolerate servers with more clock skew than previously. Fixes
+ bug 4371; bugfix on 0.2.3.6-alpha.
+ - Fix a couple of compile warnings on Windows. Fixes bug 4469; bugfix
+ on 0.2.3.4-alpha and 0.2.3.6-alpha.
+ - Make util unit tests build correctly with MSVC. Bugfix on
+ 0.2.3.3-alpha. Patch by Gisle Vanem.
+
+ o Minor features:
+ - When Tor ignores a hidden service specified in its configuration,
+ include the hidden service's directory in the warning message.
+ Previously, we would only tell the user that some hidden service
+ was ignored. Bugfix on 0.0.6; fixes bug 4426.
+ - When we fail to initialize Libevent, retry with IOCP disabled so we
+ don't need to turn on multi-threading support in Libevent, which in
+ turn requires a working socketpair(). This is a workaround for bug
+ 4457, which affects Libevent versions from 2.0.1-alpha through
+ 2.0.15-stable.
+ - Detect when we build on a platform that doesn't define AF_UNSPEC
+ to 0. We don't work there, so refuse to compile.
+ - Update to the November 1 2011 Maxmind GeoLite Country database.
o Packaging changes:
- Make it easier to automate expert package builds on Windows

o Code simplifications and refactoring:
- Remove some redundant #include directives throughout the code.
Patch from Andrea Gelmini.
+ - Unconditionally use OpenSSL's AES implementation instead of our
+ old built-in one. OpenSSL's AES has been better for a while, and
+ relatively few servers should still be on any version of OpenSSL
+ that doesn't have good optimized assembly AES.
+
+ o Testing:
+ - Numerous new unit tests for functions in util.c and address.c by
+ Anders Sundman.
+ - The long-disabled benchmark tests are now split into their own
+ ./src/test/bench binary.
+ - The benchmark tests can now use more accurate timers than
+ gettimeofday when such timers are available.
