Changes in version 0.2.0.32 - 2008-??-??
+ o Security fixes:
+ - The "User" and "Group" config options did not clear the
+ supplementary group entries for the Tor process. The "User" option
+ is now more robust, and we now set the groups to the specified
+ user's primary group. The "Group" option is now ignored. For more
+ detailed logging on credential switching, set CREDENTIAL_LOG_LEVEL
+ in common/compat.c to LOG_NOTICE or higher. Patch by Jacob Appelbaum
+ and Steven Murdoch. Bugfix on 0.0.2pre14. Fixes bug 848 and 857.
+
o Major bugfixes:
- Fix a DOS opportunity during the voting signature collection process
at directory authorities. Spotted by rovv. Bugfix on 0.2.0.x.
