It includes support for a new shared- + randomness protocol that will form the basis for next generation + hidden services, includes a single-hop hidden service mode for + optimizing .onion services that don't actually want to be hidden, + tries harder not to overload the directory authorities with excessive + downloads, and supports a better protocol versioning scheme for + improved compatibility with other implementations of the Tor protocol. + + And of course, there are numerous other bugfixes and improvements. + + This release also includes a fix for a medium-severity issue (bug + 21018 below) where Tor clients could crash when attempting to visit a + hostile hidden service. Clients are recommended to upgrade as packages + become available for their systems. + + Below are the changes since 0.2.9.7-rc. For a list of all changes + since 0.2.8, see the ReleaseNotes file. + + o Major bugfixes (parsing, security): + - Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single + byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used + to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening) + to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non- + hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of + their platform's memory allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on + 0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE- + 2016-12-002 and as CVE-2016-1254. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list): + - Replace the 81 remaining fallbacks of the 100 originally + introduced in Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha in March 2016, with a list of 177 + fallbacks (123 new, 54 existing, 27 removed) generated in December + 2016.

Fixes bug 20492; + bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (directory authority): + - When computing old Tor protocol line version in protover, we were + looking at 0.2.7.5 twice instead of a specific case for + 0.2.9.1-alpha. Fixes bug 20810; bugfix on tor-0.2.9.4-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (download scheduling): + - Resolve a "bug" warning when considering a download schedule whose + delay had approached INT_MAX. Fixes 20875; bugfix on 0.2.9.5-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (logging): + - Downgrade a harmless log message about the + pending_entry_connections list from "warn" to "info". Mitigates + bug 19926. + + o Minor bugfixes (memory leak): + - Fix a small memory leak when receiving AF_UNIX connections on a + SocksPort. Fixes bug 20716; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + - When moving a signed descriptor object from a source to an + existing destination, free the allocated memory inside that + destination object.

Previously, we accepted a 10 + us difference only, which is not realistic on every platform's + clock_gettime(). Fixes bug 19974; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - Remove a double-free in the single onion service unit test. Stop + ignoring a return value.

Affected users should upgrade; others can safely stay + with 0.2.8.10. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Avoid compilation errors when building on OSX Sierra. Sierra began + to support the getentropy() and clock_gettime() APIs, but created + a few problems in doing so.

We hope that it will be ready to become stable soon, and we + encourage everyone to test this release. If no showstopper bugs are + found here, the next 0.2.9 release will be stable. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, resolver, logging): + - For relays that don't know their own address, avoid attempting a + local hostname resolve for each descriptor we download. This + will cut down on the number of "Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'" + log lines, and also avoid confusing clock jumps if the resolver + is slow. Fixes bugs 20423 and 20610; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, fascistfirewall): + - Avoid spurious warnings when ReachableAddresses or FascistFirewall + is set. Fixes bug 20306; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - Stop ignoring the anonymity status of saved keys for hidden + services and single onion services when first starting tor. + Instead, refuse to start tor if any hidden service key has been + used in a different hidden service anonymity mode.

Resolves + ticket 20235. + - Run correctly when built on Windows build environments that + require _vcsprintf(). Fixes bug 20560; bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (single onion services, Tor2web): + - Stop complaining about long-term one-hop circuits deliberately + created by single onion services and Tor2web. These log messages + are intended to diagnose issue 8387, which relates to circuits + hanging around forever for no reason. Fixes bug 20613; bugfix on + 0.2.9.1-alpha. Reported by pastly. + + o Minor bugfixes (unit tests): + - Stop spurious failures in the local interface address discovery + unit tests.

Closes ticket 20085. + + +Changes in version 0.2.9.5-alpha - 2016-11-08 + Tor 0.2.9.5-alpha fixes numerous bugs discovered in the previous alpha + version. We believe one or two probably remain, and we encourage + everyone to test this release. + + o Major bugfixes (client performance): + - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately + when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before + starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (client reliability): + - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open + circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would + potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (download scheduling): + - When using an exponential backoff schedule, do not give up on + downloading just because we have failed a bunch of times. Since + each delay is longer than the last, retrying indefinitely won't + hurt. Fixes bug 20536; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to + download, stop waiting for certificates. + - If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we + started downloading them, do not consider the certificate download + failure a separate failure. Fixes bug 20533; bugfix + on 0.2.0.9-alpha. + - Remove the maximum delay on exponential-backoff scheduling. Since + we now allow an infinite number of failures (see ticket 20536), we + must now allow the time to grow longer on each failure. Fixes part + of bug 20534; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - Make our initial download delays closer to those from 0.2.8. Fixes + another part of bug 20534; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + - When determining when to download a directory object, handle times + after 2038 if the operating system supports them. (Someday this + will be important!) Fixes bug 20587; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + - When using exponential backoff in test networks, use a lower + exponent, so the delays do not vary as much. This helps test + networks bootstrap consistently. Fixes bug 20597; bugfix on 20499. + + o Minor features (geoip): + - Update geoip and geoip6 to the November 3 2016 Maxmind GeoLite2 + Country database. + + o Minor bugfixes (client directory scheduling): + - Treat "relay too busy to answer request" as a failed request and a + reason to back off on our retry frequency. This is safe now that + exponential backoffs retry indefinitely, and avoids a bug where we + would reset our download schedule erroneously. Fixes bug 20593; + bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, logging): + - Remove a BUG warning in circuit_pick_extend_handshake(). Instead, + assume all nodes support EXTEND2. Use ntor whenever a key is + available. Fixes bug 20472; bugfix on 0.2.9.3-alpha. + - On DNSPort, stop logging a BUG warning on a failed hostname + lookup. Fixes bug 19869; bugfix on 0.2.9.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - When configuring hidden services, check every hidden service + directory's permissions. Previously, we only checked the last + hidden service. Fixes bug 20529; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Fix compilation with OpenSSL 1.1 and less commonly-used CPU + architectures. Closes ticket 20588. + - Use ECDHE ciphers instead of ECDH in tortls tests. LibreSSL has + removed the ECDH ciphers which caused the tests to fail on + platforms which use it.

If you want to see more detailed descriptions of the changes in each development snapshot, see the ChangeLog file. + +Changes in version 0.2.9.8 - 2016-12-19 + Tor 0.2.9.8 is the first stable release of the Tor 0.2.9 series. + + The Tor 0.2.9 series makes mandatory a number of security features + that were formerly optional. It includes support for a new shared- + randomness protocol that will form the basis for next generation + hidden services, includes a single-hop hidden service mode for + optimizing .onion services that don't actually want to be hidden, + tries harder not to overload the directory authorities with excessive + downloads, and supports a better protocol versioning scheme for + improved compatibility with other implementations of the Tor protocol. + + And of course, there are numerous other bugfixes and improvements. + + This release also includes a fix for a medium-severity issue (bug + 21018 below) where Tor clients could crash when attempting to visit a + hostile hidden service. Clients are recommended to upgrade as packages + become available for their systems. + + Below are listed the changes since Tor 0.2.8.11. For a list of + changes since 0.2.9.7-rc, see the ChangeLog file. + + o New system requirements: + - When building with OpenSSL, Tor now requires version 1.0.1 or + later. OpenSSL 1.0.0 and earlier are no longer supported by the + OpenSSL team, and should not be used. Closes ticket 20303. + - Tor now requires Libevent version 2.0.10-stable or later. Older + versions of Libevent have less efficient backends for several + platforms, and lack the DNS code that we use for our server-side + DNS support. This implements ticket 19554. + - Tor now requires zlib version 1.2 or later, for security, + efficiency, and (eventually) gzip support. (Back when we started, + zlib 1.1 and zlib 1.0 were still found in the wild. 1.2 was + released in 2003. We recommend the latest version.) + + o Deprecated features: + - A number of DNS-cache-related sub-options for client ports are now + deprecated for security reasons, and may be removed in a future + version of Tor. (We believe that client-side DNS caching is a bad + idea for anonymity, and you should not turn it on.) The options + are: CacheDNS, CacheIPv4DNS, CacheIPv6DNS, UseDNSCache, + UseIPv4Cache, and UseIPv6Cache. + - A number of options are deprecated for security reasons, and may + be removed in a future version of Tor. The options are: + AllowDotExit, AllowInvalidNodes, AllowSingleHopCircuits, + AllowSingleHopExits, ClientDNSRejectInternalAddresses, + CloseHSClientCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout, + CloseHSServiceRendCircuitsImmediatelyOnTimeout, + ExcludeSingleHopRelays, FastFirstHopPK, TLSECGroup, + UseNTorHandshake, and WarnUnsafeSocks. + - The *ListenAddress options are now deprecated as unnecessary: the + corresponding *Port options should be used instead. These options + may someday be removed. The affected options are: + ControlListenAddress, DNSListenAddress, DirListenAddress, + NATDListenAddress, ORListenAddress, SocksListenAddress, + and TransListenAddress. + + o Major bugfixes (parsing, security, new since 0.2.9.7-rc): + - Fix a bug in parsing that could cause clients to read a single + byte past the end of an allocated region. This bug could be used + to cause hardened clients (built with --enable-expensive-hardening) + to crash if they tried to visit a hostile hidden service. Non- + hardened clients are only affected depending on the details of + their platform's memory allocator. Fixes bug 21018; bugfix on + 0.2.0.8-alpha. Found by using libFuzzer. Also tracked as TROVE- + 2016-12-002 and as CVE-2016-1254. + + o Major features (build, hardening): + - Tor now builds with -ftrapv by default on compilers that support + it. This option detects signed integer overflow (which C forbids), + and turns it into a hard-failure. We do not apply this option to + code that needs to run in constant time to avoid side-channels; + instead, we use -fwrapv in that code. Closes ticket 17983. + - When --enable-expensive-hardening is selected, stop applying the + clang/gcc sanitizers to code that needs to run in constant time. + Although we are aware of no introduced side-channels, we are not + able to prove that there are none. Related to ticket 17983. + + o Major features (circuit building, security): + - Authorities, relays, and clients now require ntor keys in all + descriptors, for all hops (except for rare hidden service protocol + cases), for all circuits, and for all other roles. Part of + ticket 19163. + - Authorities, relays, and clients only use ntor, except for + rare cases in the hidden service protocol. Part of ticket 19163. + + o Major features (compilation): + - Our big list of extra GCC warnings is now enabled by default when + building with GCC (or with anything like Clang that claims to be + GCC-compatible). To make all warnings into fatal compilation + errors, pass --enable-fatal-warnings to configure. Closes + ticket 19044. + - Use the Autoconf macro AC_USE_SYSTEM_EXTENSIONS to automatically + turn on C and POSIX extensions. (Previously, we attempted to do + this on an ad hoc basis.) Closes ticket 19139. + + o Major features (directory authorities, hidden services): + - Directory authorities can now perform the shared randomness + protocol specified by proposal 250. Using this protocol, directory + authorities generate a global fresh random value every day. In the + future, this value will be used by hidden services to select + HSDirs. This release implements the directory authority feature; + the hidden service side will be implemented in the future as part + of proposal 224. Resolves ticket 16943; implements proposal 250. + + o Major features (downloading, random exponential backoff): + - When we fail to download an object from a directory service, wait + for an (exponentially increasing) randomized amount of time before + retrying, rather than a fixed interval as we did before. This + prevents a group of Tor instances from becoming too synchronized, + or a single Tor instance from becoming too predictable, in its + download schedule. Closes ticket 15942. + + o Major features (resource management): + - Tor can now notice it is about to run out of sockets, and + preemptively close connections of lower priority. (This feature is + off by default for now, since the current prioritizing method is + yet not mature enough. You can enable it by setting + "DisableOOSCheck 0", but watch out: it might close some sockets + you would rather have it keep.) Closes ticket 18640. + + o Major features (single-hop "hidden" services): + - Add experimental HiddenServiceSingleHopMode and + HiddenServiceNonAnonymousMode options. When both are set to 1, + every hidden service on that Tor instance becomes a non-anonymous + Single Onion Service. Single Onions make one-hop (direct) + connections to their introduction and rendezvous points. One-hop + circuits make Single Onion servers easily locatable, but clients + remain location-anonymous. This is compatible with the existing + hidden service implementation, and works on the current Tor + network without any changes to older relays or clients. Implements + proposal 260, completes ticket 17178. Patch by teor and asn. + + o Major features (subprotocol versions): + - Tor directory authorities now vote on a set of recommended + "subprotocol versions", and on a set of required subprotocol + versions. Clients and relays that lack support for a _required_ + subprotocol version will not start; those that lack support for a + _recommended_ subprotocol version will warn the user to upgrade. + This change allows compatible implementations of the Tor protocol(s) + to exist without pretending to be 100% bug-compatible with + particular releases of Tor itself. Closes ticket 19958; implements + part of proposal 264. + + o Major bugfixes (circuit building): + - Hidden service client-to-intro-point and service-to-rendezvous- + point circuits use the TAP key supplied by the protocol, to avoid + epistemic attacks. Fixes bug 19163; bugfix on 0.2.4.18-rc. + + o Major bugfixes (download scheduling): + - Avoid resetting download status for consensuses hourly, since we + already have another, smarter retry mechanism. Fixes bug 8625; + bugfix on 0.2.0.9-alpha. + - If a consensus expires while we are waiting for certificates to + download, stop waiting for certificates. + - If we stop waiting for certificates less than a minute after we + started downloading them, do not consider the certificate download + failure a separate failure. Fixes bug 20533; bugfix + on 0.2.0.9-alpha. + - When using exponential backoff in test networks, use a lower + exponent, so the delays do not vary as much. This helps test + networks bootstrap consistently. Fixes bug 20597; bugfix on 20499. + + o Major bugfixes (exit policies): + - Avoid disclosing exit outbound bind addresses, configured port + bind addresses, and local interface addresses in relay descriptors + by default under ExitPolicyRejectPrivate. Instead, only reject + these (otherwise unlisted) addresses if + ExitPolicyRejectLocalInterfaces is set. Fixes bug 18456; bugfix on + 0.2.7.2-alpha. Patch by teor. + + o Major bugfixes (hidden services): + - Allow Tor clients with appropriate controllers to work with + FetchHidServDescriptors set to 0. Previously, this option also + disabled descriptor cache lookup, thus breaking hidden services + entirely. Fixes bug 18704; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-rc. Patch by "twim". + - Clients now require hidden services to include the TAP keys for + their intro points in the hidden service descriptor. This prevents + an inadvertent upgrade to ntor, which a malicious hidden service + could use to distinguish clients by consensus version. Fixes bug + 20012; bugfix on 0.2.4.8-alpha. Patch by teor. + + o Major bugfixes (relay, resolver, logging): + - For relays that don't know their own address, avoid attempting a + local hostname resolve for each descriptor we download. This + will cut down on the number of "Success: chose address 'x.x.x.x'" + log lines, and also avoid confusing clock jumps if the resolver + is slow. Fixes bugs 20423 and 20610; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor features (port flags): + - Add new flags to the *Port options to give finer control over which + requests are allowed. The flags are NoDNSRequest, NoOnionTraffic, + and the synthetic flag OnionTrafficOnly, which is equivalent to + NoDNSRequest, NoIPv4Traffic, and NoIPv6Traffic. Closes enhancement + 18693; patch by "teor". + + o Minor features (build, hardening): + - Detect and work around a libclang_rt problem that would prevent + clang from finding __mulodi4() on some 32-bit platforms, and thus + keep -ftrapv from linking on those systems. Closes ticket 19079. + - When building on a system without runtime support for the runtime + hardening options, try to log a useful warning at configuration + time, rather than an incomprehensible warning at link time. If + expensive hardening was requested, this warning becomes an error. + Closes ticket 18895. + + o Minor features (client, directory): + - Since authorities now omit all routers that lack the Running and + Valid flags, we assume that any relay listed in the consensus must + have those flags. Closes ticket 20001; implements part of + proposal 272. + + o Minor features (code safety): + - In our integer-parsing functions, ensure that the maximum value we + allow is no smaller than the minimum value. Closes ticket 19063; + patch from "U+039b". + + o Minor features (compilation, portability): + - Compile correctly on MacOS 10.12 (aka "Sierra"). Closes + ticket 20241. + + o Minor features (config): + - Warn users when descriptor and port addresses are inconsistent. + Mitigates bug 13953; patch by teor. + + o Minor features (controller): + - Allow controllers to configure basic client authorization on + hidden services when they create them with the ADD_ONION controller + command. Implements ticket 15588. Patch by "special". + - Fire a STATUS_SERVER controller event whenever the hibernation + status changes between "awake"/"soft"/"hard". Closes ticket 18685. + - Implement new GETINFO queries for all downloads that use + download_status_t to schedule retries. This allows controllers to + examine the schedule for pending downloads. Closes ticket 19323. + + o Minor features (development tools, etags): + - Teach the "make tags" Makefile target how to correctly find + "MOCK_IMPL" function definitions. Patch from nherring; closes + ticket 16869. + + o Minor features (directory authority): + - After voting, if the authorities decide that a relay is not + "Valid", they no longer include it in the consensus at all. Closes + ticket 20002; implements part of proposal 272. + - Directory authorities now only give the Guard flag to a relay if + they are also giving it the Stable flag. This change allows us to + simplify path selection for clients. It should have minimal effect + in practice, since >99% of Guards already have the Stable flag. + Implements ticket 18624. + - Directory authorities now write their v3-status-votes file out to + disk earlier in the consensus process, so we have a record of the + votes even if we abort the consensus process. Resolves + ticket 19036. + + o Minor features (fallback directory list, new since 0.2.9.7-rc): + - Replace the 81 remaining fallbacks of the 100 originally + introduced in Tor 0.2.8.3-alpha in March 2016, with a list of 177 + fallbacks (123 new, 54 existing, 27 removed) generated in December + 2016. Resolves ticket 20170. + + o Minor features (hidden service): + - Stop being so strict about the payload length of "rendezvous1" + cells. We used to be locked in to the "TAP" handshake length, and + now we can handle better handshakes like "ntor". Resolves + ticket 18998. + + o Minor features (infrastructure, time): + - Tor now includes an improved timer backend, so that we can + efficiently support tens or hundreds of thousands of concurrent + timers, as will be needed for some of our planned anti-traffic- + analysis work. This code is based on William Ahern's "timeout.c" + project, which implements a "tickless hierarchical timing wheel". + Closes ticket 18365. + - Tor now uses the operating system's monotonic timers (where + available) for internal fine-grained timing. Previously we would + look at the system clock, and then attempt to compensate for the + clock running backwards. Closes ticket 18908. + + o Minor features (logging): + - Add a set of macros to check nonfatal assertions, for internal + use. Migrating more of our checks to these should help us avoid + needless crash bugs. Closes ticket 18613. + - Provide a more useful warning message when configured with an + invalid Nickname. Closes ticket 18300; patch from "icanhasaccount". + - When dumping unparseable router descriptors, optionally store them + in separate files, named by digest, up to a configurable size + limit. You can change the size limit by setting the + MaxUnparseableDescSizeToLog option, and disable this feature by + setting that option to 0. Closes ticket 18322. + + o Minor features (performance): + - Change the "optimistic data" extension from "off by default" to + "on by default". The default was ordinarily overridden by a + consensus option, but when clients were bootstrapping for the + first time, they would not have a consensus to get the option + from. Changing this default saves a round-trip during startup. + Closes ticket 18815. + + o Minor features (relay, usability): + - When the directory authorities refuse a bad relay's descriptor, + encourage the relay operator to contact us. Many relay operators + won't notice this line in their logs, but it's a win if even a few + learn why we don't like what their relay was doing. Resolves + ticket 18760. + + o Minor features (security, TLS): + - Servers no longer support clients that lack AES ciphersuites. + (3DES is no longer considered an acceptable cipher.) We believe + that no such Tor clients currently exist, since Tor has required + OpenSSL 0.9.7 or later since 2009. Closes ticket 19998. + + o Minor features (testing): + - Disable memory protections on OpenBSD when performing our unit + tests for memwipe(). The test deliberately invokes undefined + behavior, and the OpenBSD protections interfere with this. Patch + from "rubiate". Closes ticket 20066. + - Move the test-network.sh script to chutney, and modify tor's test- + network.sh to call the (newer) chutney version when available. + Resolves ticket 19116. Patch by teor. + - Use the lcov convention for marking lines as unreachable, so that + we don't count them when we're generating test coverage data. + Update our coverage tools to understand this convention. Closes + ticket 16792. + - Our link-handshake unit tests now check that when invalid + handshakes fail, they fail with the error messages we expected. + - Our unit testing code that captures log messages no longer + prevents them from being written out if the user asked for them + (by passing --debug or --info or --notice or --warn to the "test" + binary). This change prevents us from missing unexpected log + messages simply because we were looking for others. Related to + ticket 19999. + - The unit tests now log all warning messages with the "BUG" flag. + Previously, they only logged errors by default. This change will + help us make our testing code more correct, and make sure that we + only hit this code when we mean to. In the meantime, however, + there will be more warnings in the unit test logs than before. + This is preparatory work for ticket 19999. + - The unit tests now treat any failure of a "tor_assert_nonfatal()" + assertion as a test failure. + - We've done significant work to make the unit tests run faster. + + o Minor features (testing, ipv6): + - Add the hs-ipv6 chutney target to make test-network-all's IPv6 + tests. Remove bridges+hs, as it's somewhat redundant. This + requires a recent chutney version that supports IPv6 clients, + relays, and authorities. Closes ticket 20069; patch by teor. + - Add the single-onion and single-onion-ipv6 chutney targets to + "make test-network-all". This requires a recent chutney version + with the single onion network flavors (git c72a652 or later). + Closes ticket 20072; patch by teor. + + o Minor features (Tor2web): + - Make Tor2web clients respect ReachableAddresses. This feature was + inadvertently enabled in 0.2.8.6, then removed by bugfix 19973 on + 0.2.8.7. Implements feature 20034. Patch by teor. + + o Minor features (unix domain sockets): + - When configuring a unix domain socket for a SocksPort, + ControlPort, or Hidden service, you can now wrap the address in + quotes, using C-style escapes inside the quotes. This allows unix + domain socket paths to contain spaces. Resolves ticket 18753. + + o Minor features (user interface): + - Tor now supports the ability to declare options deprecated, so + that we can recommend that people stop using them. Previously, this + was done in an ad-hoc way. There is a new --list-deprecated-options + command-line option to list all of the deprecated options. Closes + ticket 19820. + + o Minor features (virtual addresses): + - Increase the maximum number of bits for the IPv6 virtual network + prefix from 16 to 104. In this way, the condition for address + allocation is less restrictive. Closes ticket 20151; feature + on 0.2.4.7-alpha. + + o Minor bug fixes (circuits): + - Use the CircuitBuildTimeout option whenever + LearnCircuitBuildTimeout is disabled. Previously, we would respect + the option when a user disabled it, but not when it was disabled + because some other option was set. Fixes bug 20073; bugfix on + 0.2.4.12-alpha. Patch by teor. + + o Minor bugfixes (build): + - The current Git revision when building from a local repository is + now detected correctly when using git worktrees. Fixes bug 20492; + bugfix on 0.2.3.9-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (relay address discovery): + - Stop reordering IP addresses returned by the OS. This makes it + more likely that Tor will guess the same relay IP address every + time. Fixes issue 20163; bugfix on 0.2.7.1-alpha, ticket 17027. + Reported by René Mayrhofer, patch by "cypherpunks". + + o Minor bugfixes (memory allocation): + - Change how we allocate memory for large chunks on buffers, to + avoid a (currently impossible) integer overflow, and to waste less + space when allocating unusually large chunks. Fixes bug 20081; + bugfix on 0.2.0.16-alpha. Issue identified by Guido Vranken. + + o Minor bugfixes (bootstrap): + - Remember the directory server we fetched the consensus or previous + certificates from, and use it to fetch future authority + certificates. This change improves bootstrapping performance. + Fixes bug 18963; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (circuits): + - Make sure extend_info_from_router() is only called on servers. + Fixes bug 19639; bugfix on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, fascistfirewall): + - Avoid spurious warnings when ReachableAddresses or FascistFirewall + is set. Fixes bug 20306; bugfix on 0.2.8.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (client, unix domain sockets): + - Disable IsolateClientAddr when using AF_UNIX backed SocksPorts as + the client address is meaningless. Fixes bug 20261; bugfix + on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (code style): + - Fix an integer signedness conversion issue in the case conversion + tables. Fixes bug 19168; bugfix on 0.2.1.11-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (compilation): + - Build correctly on versions of libevent2 without support for + evutil_secure_rng_add_bytes(). Fixes bug 19904; bugfix + on 0.2.5.4-alpha. + - When building with Clang, use a full set of GCC warnings. + (Previously, we included only a subset, because of the way we + detected them.) Fixes bug 19216; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. + - Detect Libevent2 functions correctly on systems that provide + libevent2, but where libevent1 is linked with -levent. Fixes bug + 19904; bugfix on 0.2.2.24-alpha. Patch from Rubiate. + - Run correctly when built on Windows build environments that + require _vcsprintf(). Fixes bug 20560; bugfix on 0.2.2.11-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (configuration): + - When parsing quoted configuration values from the torrc file, + handle Windows line endings correctly. Fixes bug 19167; bugfix on + 0.2.0.16-alpha. Patch from "Pingl". + + o Minor bugfixes (directory authority): + - Authorities now sort the "package" lines in their votes, for ease + of debugging. (They are already sorted in consensus documents.) + Fixes bug 18840; bugfix on 0.2.6.3-alpha. + - Die with a more useful error when the operator forgets to place + the authority_signing_key file into the keys directory. This + avoids an uninformative assert & traceback about having an invalid + key. Fixes bug 20065; bugfix on 0.2.0.1-alpha. + - When allowing private addresses, mark Exits that only exit to + private locations as such. Fixes bug 20064; bugfix + on 0.2.2.9-alpha. + - When parsing a detached signature, make sure we use the length of + the digest algorithm instead of a hardcoded DIGEST256_LEN in + order to avoid comparing bytes out-of-bounds with a smaller digest + length such as SHA1. Fixes bug 19066; bugfix on 0.2.2.6-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (getpass): + - Defensively fix a non-triggerable heap corruption at do_getpass() + to protect ourselves from mistakes in the future. Fixes bug + 19223; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc. Bug found by Guido Vranken, patch + by nherring. + + o Minor bugfixes (guard selection): + - Don't mark guards as unreachable if connection_connect() fails. + That function fails for local reasons, so it shouldn't reveal + anything about the status of the guard. Fixes bug 14334; bugfix + on 0.2.3.10-alpha. + - Use a single entry guard even if the NumEntryGuards consensus + parameter is not provided. Fixes bug 17688; bugfix + on 0.2.5.6-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (hidden services): + - Increase the minimum number of internal circuits we preemptively + build from 2 to 3, so a circuit is available when a client + connects to another onion service. Fixes bug 13239; bugfix + on 0.1.0.1-rc. + - Allow hidden services to run on IPv6 addresses even when the + IPv6Exit option is not set. Fixes bug 18357; bugfix + on 0.2.4.7-alpha. + - Stop logging intro point details to the client log on certain + error conditions. Fixed as part of bug 20012; bugfix on + 0.2.4.8-alpha. Patch by teor. + - When deleting an ephemeral hidden service, close its intro points + even if they are not completely open. Fixes bug 18604; bugfix + on 0.2.7.1-alpha. + - When configuring hidden services, check every hidden service + directory's permissions. Previously, we only checked the last + hidden service. Fixes bug 20529; bugfix on 0.2.6.2-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (IPv6, testing): + - Check for IPv6 correctly on Linux when running test networks. + Fixes bug 19905; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc; patch by teor. + + o Minor bugfixes (Linux seccomp2 sandbox): + - Add permission to run the sched_yield() and sigaltstack() system + calls, in order to support versions of Tor compiled with asan or + ubsan code that use these calls.

Fixes bug + 19678. Patch by teor. + + o Minor bugfixes (user interface): + - Display a more accurate number of suppressed messages in the log + rate-limiter.

Fixes bug + 19504; bugfix on 0.2.7.3-rc. + - Document the default PathsNeededToBuildCircuits value that's used + by clients when the directory authorities don't set + min_paths_for_circs_pct. Fixes bug 20117; bugfix on 0.2.4.10-alpha. + Patch by teor, reported by Jesse V. + - Fix manual for the User option: it takes a username, not a UID. + Fixes bug 19122; bugfix on 0.0.2pre16 (the first version to have + a manpage!). + - Fix the description of the --passphrase-fd option in the + tor-gencert manpage. The option is used to pass the number of a + file descriptor to read the passphrase from, not to read the file + descriptor from. Fixes bug 19505; bugfix on 0.2.0.20-alpha. + + o Removed code: + - We no longer include the (dead, deprecated) bufferevent code in + Tor. Closes ticket 19450. Based on a patch from "U+039b". + + o Removed features: + - Remove support for "GET /tor/bytes.txt" DirPort request, and + "GETINFO dir-usage" controller request, which were only available + via a compile-time option in Tor anyway. Feature was added in + 0.2.2.1-alpha. Resolves ticket 19035. + - There is no longer a compile-time option to disable support for + TransPort. (If you don't want TransPort, just don't use it.) Patch + from "U+039b". Closes ticket 19449. + + o Testing: + - Run more workqueue tests as part of "make check". These had + previously been implemented, but you needed to know special + command-line options to enable them. + - We now have unit tests for our code to reject zlib "compression + bombs". (Fortunately, the code works fine.) + + +Changes in version 0.2.8.11 - 2016-12-08 + Tor 0.2.8.11 backports fixes for additional portability issues that + could prevent Tor from building correctly on OSX Sierra, or with + OpenSSL 1.1. Affected users should upgrade; others can safely stay + with 0.2.8.10. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability): + - Avoid compilation errors when building on OSX Sierra. Sierra began + to support the getentropy() and clock_gettime() APIs, but created + a few problems in doing so. Tor 0.2.9 has a more thorough set of + workarounds; in 0.2.8, we are just using the /dev/urandom and mach + monotonic time interfaces. Fixes bug 20865. Bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Fix compilation with OpenSSL 1.1 and less commonly-used CPU + architectures. Closes ticket 20588. + + +Changes in version 0.2.8.10 - 2016-12-02 + Tor 0.2.8.10 backports a fix for a bug that would sometimes make clients + unusable after they left standby mode. It also backports fixes for + a few portability issues and a small but problematic memory leak. + + o Major bugfixes (client reliability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - When Tor leaves standby because of a new application request, open + circuits as needed to serve that request. Previously, we would + potentially wait a very long time. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Major bugfixes (client performance, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Clients now respond to new application stream requests immediately + when they arrive, rather than waiting up to one second before + starting to handle them. Fixes part of bug 19969; bugfix + on 0.2.8.1-alpha. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.6-rc): + - Work around a bug in the OSX 10.12 SDK that would prevent us from + successfully targeting earlier versions of OSX. Resolves + ticket 20235. + + o Minor bugfixes (portability, backport from 0.2.9.5-alpha): + - Fix implicit conversion warnings under OpenSSL 1.1.
